The hype comes from it being nothing like most American comedies.....what comedies are you watching that this is similar too? -_-
Well, I'll excuse maybe Curb and Eastbound.

Television It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia
- Thread starter McK@n
- Start date
What Smashed?! How many episodes have you watched. There is nothing like it on TV at the moment, the show is genius!
Dunno, 4/5 episodes maybe? Well, how is it genius? Honestly the humour doesn't seem particularly clever to me, it's funny on occassion but no more than a lot of comedies.
Well their overall lack of fear to use any subject as comedy without sentimentality is part of it. But throw in some of the best improv you can find(half scripted, half improv or something), natural chemistry with the actors and complete absurdity and it just clicks for me.
That's fair enough I guess, to me it all seems a bit wooden but different strokes for different blokes and all that. But it's made out to be a paragon of intelligent humour, like when people were moaning about the vomit scene and saying how it was beneath the show etc- why? It's never come across as particularly highbrow to me. Which I don't mind and I have nothing against the show for that. I like plenty of lowbrow comedies. But still, I mean I watched an episode the other day where one of the guys was at a gym and started flirting with a post-op transexual or something, only for his/her massive boyfriend to turn up. I had to turn it off after the first 2 mins of that as it just wasn't funny for me.
The most recent episode was a classic
I said it was beneath them, but in terms of it being well below the standard and style of their comedy usually. And giving my opinion on the show is hardly moaning.
I don't understand this. I thought it was average, what made it a classic?
The montage man. Everything about that montage was gold, probably the best montage since Rocky IV.
I'm sorry Rum Ham
DeVito's raspy voice screaming "Rum Ham" was fantastic.
It's been a little hit and miss so far but there've been great bits. I didn't like the whole Frank's brother flash back one. Thought that was a bit shite. Some of the Beauty pageant one was great, but I thought the episode as a whole lacked something. The 2nd half of the baby funeral one was hysterical and the last one was pretty good. Charlie trying to work out who would sleep with whose daughters had me creasing.
It's better than the season before last (whichever one it was that ended with a drink off with another pub)
It's not on it's last legs but they should really wind it up after this season

Yep liked the latest, could just be heating up at the right time. Dennis in the background stalking your one was brill.
Sounds about right.
I can't get into this show. I pretty much gave up on US comedies a decade ago. I know this one is a little different but its still not like British comedies.
Back on form, loved that episode.
Just watched that latest episode, that was brilliant 
Best episode in a long time.
Really hitting form now.
Charlie and Dennis at the police station and Frank's video where Dr. Mantis Tobbogan makes a reappearance.........
.That was a great episode. The police station scene was brilliant
It was class.

That video was great
Best show in TV.
Not quite up to date with this series but not far off. And so far agree with Mockney on the whole. Not quite at the level of series 3-5, but in patches it is still the best thing around.

The Aluminium Monster vs Fatty Magoo
The Gang Gets Extreme, Home Makeover.
Ill always have a soft spot for Charlie Wants An Abortion as well. A friend recommended the show and the first one I thought was quite good, but not amazing. But it was episode 2 of series 1 when I realised this show was something special. When Mac is trying to shag the Christian, pro-life girl and makes the t shirt that says: "What if Jesus had been aborted?"
Most recent ep was the funniest one of the season by far for me

I enjoyed the Jersey Shore and the Chardee McDennis episodes the most this season.
The latest episodes have been brilliant. The most recent was epic
I'm gonna whip that little girl in the face
I'm gonna whip that little girl in the face
Was anybody else surprised that they were Asian?
Was that really all they are going to do with the whole Mac being fat arc?
Probably,
too bad "it's always sunny" is on FX, it doesn't get the get the attention or respect that it deserves.
Fantastic episode.
My friends and I all thought that it reminded us of the old episodes which is a good thing. I thought Frank was pretty funny in last nights episode
Frank was brilliant in the last one, Dennis is brilliant this season.
To be continued......bastards.
I enjoyed that.
When you think about it they make A LOT of references to how cool they were in high school in that show so it's good to get a reunion episode finally.
