About this deal

That single image of a penis-shadow thrusting toward Frank's face neatly summarizes this show: This is the tale of five people who take blind chances — and mostly end up screwing each other.

For 10 seasons, the series had mined comic gold from the execrable behavior of the owners of Paddy’s Pub: burly, sweet, self-deluded Mac (Rob McElhenny); resourceful slob Charlie (Charlie Day); cynical lothario Dennis (Glenn Howerton); his sad-sack sister “Sweet” Dee (Kaitlin Olson); and libertine troll Frank (Danny DeVito, who joined in the second season). A show like Sunny is too raw to be Emmy-bait, but that didn't stop its creators from trying to dissect their own place in the television hierarchy, asking openly why some "bars" are popular while Paddy's is considered more fringe.

This episode satirizes the increasingly sexualized pageant scene, while also reminding the audience that it doesn't take much tweaking to make Danny DeVito's character look like an actual monster. Sunny's finest hour (literally… it's a two-parter): One storyline revolves around Mac and Charlie clumsily faking their own deaths to try and elude Mac's recently paroled father, whom they claim has threatened to "rape [them] so hard the room would stink. When the Paddy's crew has to spend the whole day doing whatever their bartender wants, they're initially annoyed. Fast forward to almost a decade later, and It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia has gone from cult favorite to one of the flagship shows on FX (and now FXX), displaying a sensibility unlike anything else on television — relying on lightning-speed banter, crazy schemes, and a “can you top this?

The show's sixth season was affected by Kaitlin Olson's pregnancy, which seemed to inspire the creative team to think about what would happen if all the characters — not just Dee — went through some radical changes.

This means it’s a geographical monopoly and the only way you can choose another provider is to sell your most expensive purchase, your house, and move to another location. But the main reason this is one of the best-remembered Sunnys is because it defines the gang's archetypes whenever they embark on another A-Team/ Ghostbusters/ Ocean's 11-style mission.

Dennis and Dee Go on Welfare" exemplifies what the series would become, once the plotting got knottier and the social commentary sharpened. Some of it can be blamed on its creators' usual hang-ups — like Mac's inability to grasp why putting on blackface to imitate Danny Glover might be, you know, incredibly offensive. The supersized episode bounces from one well-executed set-piece to another: an Eyes Wide Shut-esque orgy, a pathetic fake funeral, and a climactic (so to speak) moment when Dennis tries to use the bathroom's new accoutrement. Back in Season Six, the episode "Dee Reynolds: Shaping America's Youth" featured a long sequence where Dee shows the gang's sloppy, possibly racist home-movie version of Lethal Weapon 5 to high-schoolers.

But because Charlie, Mac, and Frank are who they are, each wildly misinterprets and misapplies the advice; soon, the gang ventures out into the real world with reckless confidence and are undone by their own idiocy. The unusual structure sets this episode apart, as does the way it thoroughly picks apart who these people really are and how they've warped each other. The only one who remains un-chastened is Frank, who continues on with his plan: spending his remaining years on Earth by doing his best to "get really weird with it. If ISP1 agrees with the land developer to provide their services to every single house, there is sometimes an agreement that keeps other ISPs out for a certain time. Mac Day" is both a celebration and explanation of Sunny's karate-loving, Christian fundamentalist, repressed homosexual man-child.
