Making a list of the best ever episodes of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia is a futile gesture. Now the longest-running live action comedy series ever going into its 16th season, this defiantly dark and hilarious sitcom about the five worst people in Philadelphia has maintained an absurdly high level of quality. In its 162 episodes airing since executive producers and co-stars Rob McElhenney, Charlie Day, and Glenn Howerton were allowed onto the FX airwaves in 2005, there are remarkably few episodes that wouldn't garner at least a few votes. (The show's rare forays into disappointing flashback episodes being the exception.)
That said, the misadventures of Charlie, Dennis, Dee, Mac, and Frank (or The Gang," as they're known) have produced some truly astounding episodes of television, where the grubby and irresponsible scrabbling of five truly awful people is transformed, inexplicably, into comic gold. As the stellar cast (Howerton, Day, and McElhenney, alongside Kaitlin Olson and TV legend Danny DeVito) and writers have proven again and again, it's easy to be outrageous and offensive, but it takes true artistry to make The Gang's awfulness both riotously funny and shockingly insightful.
So, without more ado, here are the best episodes of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.
