It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia Season 12: Ranking Every Episode From Worst To Best

10. Old Lady House: A Situation Comedy

While this episode was fine and anything but a bad watch, it was still definitely the weakest of the season. The funniest thing about the episode was the premise itself; that being the gang setting up hidden cameras in the shared home of Mac and Charlie's respective mothers, with the intent to catch the former abusing the latter.

What happens instead, however, is them beginning to make their own sitcom out of the two older women's bitter feud; complete with a title sequence and laugh tracks.

This was a great set-up; however, the actual comedy of this episode was just a bit lukewarm. There were a few money bits, such as the gang looking on and laughing at the live feed with snacks, Dee desperately trying to become a part of the show, and Mac attempting to coach his bitter mother into being a better character to no avail.

However, it lacks any true laugh out loud moments up until the inevitable chaos that ended the episode, with the entire operation falling apart in grand fashion.

In the midst of the chaos and questionable decisions, the gang's bent sense of human empathy was on full display with some comical results. Entertaining, yes, but not enough to save this rather disjointed episode from the bottom spot of this list.
