Philly Sun

I just started watching the first season of It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia, and the show is brutally funny.

The show is centered around four friends and their Irish pub, and all their terrible behavior. Let me describe the first three episodes I saw to help you get an idea of how rotten and hilarious they are.

The Gang Gets Racist
Dee brings her African American friend, Terrell, to the bar to meet the gang. He promotes bars for a living, and he tells the guys that he can get hundreds of people to come to events, so Mac, Charlie and Dennis hire him to increase the bar's business. Terrell then turns Paddy's Irish Pub into a very popular gay bar. Between Mac's perseived racial insensitivity and and a out of context comment by Charlie in front of the waitress he likes, they set out to make more black friends.

Dennis starts acting gay at the pub because of the positive attention he is receiving but later changes his mind about having the bar be gay after a morning after encounter orchestrated by Mac and Dee. Charlie also tries to impress the waitress by showing up with a black girl who thinks they're on a date to prove he's not racist.

Charlie Wants an Abortion
A woman Charlie dated in the past arrives to claim that her child is his and forces Charlie to baby-sit the unruly child for her, prompting him to comment that he wished he could have done the "right thing" ten years ago: make her get an abortion. This sparks a debate with the pro-life Mac, who then goes to an anti-abortion organization to get more information but meets Megan, an attractive pro-life protester, who he tries to impress by acting like a rabid "pro-life" activist.

Dee attends the rally to fight for the pro-choice side, and Dennis joins her so he can meet women. His lack of success sparks a riot when he tries to literally cross the fence to the pro-life side for more attractive women. Meanwhile, Charlie struggles with his unruly son and attempts to pass himself off as a mentor in the "Big Brother" program to impress the waitress who is a "Big Sister". When he discovers that his ex-girlfriend had lied and was just using Charlie to try and get help because the child's real father had recently run out on them, he still wants to use the kid to impress the waitress.

Underage Drinking: A National Concern
After a profitable night at the bar populated by underage drinkers, the guys decide to lower the drinking age at Paddy's to provide teenagers with a safe place to experiment. Dee meets Trey, a popular high school jock, and tries to fulfill her dream of dating a popular guy and going to prom because she didn't get to when she was in high school. Dennis is then blackmailed by Trey's ex-girlfriend into taking her to prom. Meanwhile, Charlie and Mac go to a party hosted by one of their new customers, Sarah. Sarah asks Charlie to the prom. Feeling left out, Mac decides to go stag.

I don't think I remotely did any of the episodes justice, but you can see what horrible people they are.

This is from the Underage Drinking episode...taste for yourself.
