I vividly remember the first time I ever saw an episode of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, as I was channel surfing when I stumbled upon “Charlie Goes America All Over Everybody’s Ass” and immediately ordered the first season of the show on DVD.
It’s Always Sunny made a name for itself by refusing to stray away from hot button topics and has been doing so from the very beginning with a pilot that would likely be labeled Very Problematic if it premiered in this day and age.
Thankfully, the It’s Always Sunny crew has refused to let an increasingly politically correct culture get in the way of making people laugh, which they’ve done on a regular basis by making their terrible characters do terrible things for our enjoyment.
Almost 15 years later, It’s Always Sunny is still going strong and will tie the record for the longest-running live-action comedy series in television history when the 14th season premieres on September 25th, and despite being an entertainment veteran, I’d argue it hasn’t lost its fastball since its breakout rookie year.
Now, we have an idea of what we can expect next season courtesy of Deadline, which recently visited the set and got some inside info on what they have in store—including an episode that will be fully penetrated by Dolph Lundgren:
During the session, it is revealed that the gang will continue to have off-center stories including an appearance by Lundgren as John Thundergun, a film noir episode, a story about global warming, a Waiting for Godot-themed laser tag episode and an episode where the gang puts their apartments on AirBnB in an effort to find love.
September can’t get here soon enough.
