It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia - Page 3

And to answer a question you asked a while back: none of them have Philly accents.

However, the show does reference real Philly places pretty frequently, and in the one scene where Mac is running away from a couple of guys, he runs through Geno's Steaks.

I think Danny DeVito uses a slight Philly accent. But he doesn't come until season 2, so you probably haven't seen him yet.

phillyfan26 · 11-30-2008, 08:36 PM

True, I have not.

They live in Philly and sound like they're from the suburbs. I'm from the suburbs and sound like I'm from Philly.

Whoa now.

If you have the DVD set, you'll see Season 2 soon, too.

No, I'm watching on Hulu, however. I begin Season Two tomorrow while writing a six page paper.

I'll be honest, when they brought in Danny DeVito I thought it was a network ploy to bring in a "big name" in order to draw viewers, and I thought he would ruin the show, but I was not even close to being right. He actually makes the show better - his character is a Legend.

I caught up around Season 3, so DeVito's introduction wasn't that big of a thing for me. Like you said, he adds loads to the show.

His dynamic with Charlie is priceless... like Michael/Toby priceless.

Watching some of season two today.

Charlie's complete lack of knowledge on the problems in the Middle East absolutely killed me, especially when the Israeli guy alludes to the problems back home and he says something like, "Yeah, with the Superdome and all..."

phillyfan26 · 12-01-2008, 03:19 PM

Mac: You're not the one on TV dressed like a terrorist and threatening Jews, Charlie!
Dennis: Oh, Mac-
Mac: The context is fine, Dennis, trust me, I was thinking about it while we were watching the video.

Charlie dressing up as Tom Cruise in Born on the Fourth of July killed me. It's up there with him as Serpico and the banana-eating Nazi.

Charlie is awesome because he does all these subtle things that kill me. In one episode he finds out that Mac is banging, I think, Dee's mom, and the way he says, "Interesting" is brilliant. And in the first McPoyle episode, when they mention that Charlie's teacher was arrested for child molesting, and they say to him, "Charlie, you had his class, didn't you," Charlie's mumbled answer is friggin perfect.

Definitely.

One of my biggest Charlie-related laughs was when he showed Mac and Frank the lyrics to "Nightman," which turned out to be a set of pictures and squiggly letters... holy shit.

He could very well be one of the funniest sitcom characters of all-time, in my opinion.

Don't forget Serpico Charlie's envelope: "4 the Mare."

Charlie's illiteracy is the most consistently funny part of the show.

Charlie as Serpico has earned permanent iPod status, that's how amazing that part of the show is.

Hoo-ah!

phillyfan26 · 12-01-2008, 10:32 PM

Charlie reffing the kids' basketball game was absolutely hysterical.

phillyfan26 · 12-02-2008, 03:28 PM

Dee: There are plenty of amazing politicians who are women.
Frank: Name one.
Dee: Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton.
Frank: Awful.
Dee: Why is she awful?
Frank: Hates freedom.

phillyfan26 · 12-03-2008, 06:27 PM

I am now well into season three, and have to agree that Charlie's illiteracy is the funniest running joke on the show.

It peaked with the lyrics to Nightman.

I just saw this one last night. The 20 seconds between seeing the envelope and him finally saying "Mayor" were brilliant. I just sat there wondering WTF he was going on about. Was he even at City Hall?

Dude, look at that door. These North Koreans even have pirates now.

LMP · 12-03-2008, 09:35 PM

So, you saw me eat that Hot Pocket out of the trash? You got any... feelings about that?

Wow, I like you, come on in.
