Stuck Under a Cloud? Well it's always sunny in Philadelphia...

They become addicted crack. They take on the persona of a serial killer. They run a sweat shop. These are just a few of the out-of-control antics that the characters of It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia suffer through.

In a world full of sitcoms with laugh tracks flooding your sound system, It's Always Sunny is a breath of fresh air with creative ideas and storylines that push the envelope in its most extreme forms. From pimps to drug dealers to slavery and transsexuals, Dennis, Dee, Mac and Charlie do it all. They, along with Dennis and Dee's legal father and Charlie's biological father, played by Danny DeVito, own and operate an Irish pub. Their complete dysfunction is hysterical and is simply a must-see for comedy fans.

Dennis, the narcissistic twin brother of Dee, uses women as pawns and sexual objects yet has a softer side that wanted to become a veterinarian and sometimes cries. Dee, dubbed "The Aluminum Monster" in high school due to scoliosis, is an alcoholic bartender who looks for love in all the wrong places and desperately yearns to become an actress. Mac, the only genuinely nice character, tries in earnest to do "right", yet never succeeds due to his lack of intelligence. In hopes of gaining the respect of his incarcerated, estranged father, Mac is recruited to smuggle heroin in his rectum with his childhood friend Charlie. An illiterate pathological liar, Charlie has a "puppy-dog" essence despite his complete immorality. As a partner in the pub, he gave away his shares for sandwiches.

Each character is completely self-serving and looks out only for themselves. With random, reoccurring characters popping into the picture, hilarity ensues. A cracked out priest named Rickety Kricket who is in love with Dee and the incestuous McPoyle brothers are a few of the strange characters that are part of the tangled web of vanity, extortion, and dishonesty that get the four friends nowhere.

In the most recent episode, "The Gang", as they are affectionately known, tried out for the Philadelphia Eagles. This is not even the most far fetched of the episodes. In one episode, The Gang schemes to win money and accuse their gym teacher of molestation. In another, they suspect Mac of being a serial killer when in fact, he is dating a transsexual. These kinds of situations, while off the wall, are supremely subtle in their hilarity. The actors let the extreme plots do the flaunting while never overacting.

Their awkwardness and the completely strange situations that they get into create such a creative and hilarious show that is relatively unknown, yet quickly becoming a classic. I would recommend this show to anyone who wants something funny with a fresh, new twist on the predictable and tired sitcom. The Gang from It's Always Sunny will not disappoint.
