Season 6 5 of “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” debuts tonight, and while I could have featured it in today’s What’s on Tonight post, there’s a slew of other high-profile premieres tonight, and this show really deserves its own post. A friend of mine attended the cast’s live performance of “The Nightman Cometh” episode last night, then went to the fancy-pants party for cast members and assorted cool people afterwards. She had this to say about the show:
I saw an episode from this new season and I have to say this f-cking tv show is still as funny as f-cking hell. The gang starts a rivalry with a frat from Penn State (or U Penn?) [the latter is in Philly - Ed.] and they have a flip cup tournament with them. Poison and Danny Devito in skinny jeans are involved. A-mazing. (*poison meaning actual poison and not Bret Michaels-Poison… although that would be even sweeter, I think.)
Also, they’re putting out a Christmas DVD titled “An Always Sunny Christmas” or some sh-t like that and the clip we saw from that included Charlie accusing Santa Claus of f-cking his mom and literally tearing up Santa’s face with his mouth. Brilliant. Gross. Wonderful.
I’m genuinely giddy about this, kids. And I don’t generally get giddy about TV shows. About the day’s first drink? Yes. A link with a NSFW tag? Absolutely. But not TV. Overall I’m a man of calm, measured respons– HAHAHA THAT CAT GOT AN INTERCEPTION!


as a Penn grad, being confused with Penn State is by far the most frequent and most annoying thing in the planet. You’d be amazed at the number of people who have never heard of Penn. If I had known everyone was going to think I went to a state school, I would have just gone there and saved myself the price of a small house in loans.
/still a Nitany Lions fan
/Penn State is not in the Ivy League
My favorite was the Extreme Home Makeover spoof episode. After the big reveal with the taco bed, I had to throw out the pants I was wearing.
What, you thought “Stinky Pete” was just a nickname?
Im an athlete. But Im also a business man. And it looks like you can use an overhaul in the advertising spokeman department. And its only going to cost you…2000 dollars.
Yeah im a give you a hundred bucks. Wait, can we meet in the middle or something? Two hundred bucks. Two hundred bucks and a blowjob.
WILD CARD, BITCHES!
I’m going to teabag a homeless guy to celebrate this event.
just a heads up, this is actually the season 5 debut
IASIP is my favorite show involving a hairy near-midget since the X-Men cartoon series.
jrkumor…..
….why don’t you post a link to your “awesome rack” and we’ll give you some feedback on it….
Just re-watched “Mac & Charlie Die” last night to get even more psyched for this (if possible) … the funniest 5 minutes on TV all year may have been the scene where Mac is pulling out Charlie’s teeth and they end up throwing the chair out the window to escape from Sweet Dee.
I went to the show in Boston, and indeed it was really funny, the X-mas clip was really good, no way it will end up on cable, too many bleeps. The downside to the live show, HOB doesn’t have seating SRO, and I am 5’5″ so I missed most of it. My friend told me I should have just pushed my way through the crowd by offering to show off my “awesome rack”, lesson learned for next time I guess.
Hell, if it wasn’t for the swears, i’d think your friend was a shill for the show.
You’re usually a bit more subtle when it comes to payola.
I’ve been reminding my wife for a week that IASIP new season starts tonight. So fucking psyched this show is back on.
I went to an According to Jim cast party once. :(
This is the 6th season of this? How long have I been masturbating?
Frank: I did not go to Vietnam and watch a lot of good men die just for scum like you to take away my freedom!
Sweet Dee: You went to Vietnam in 1993… to open up a sweatshop!
Frank: And a lot of good men died in that sweatshop!
