It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia: 10 Worst Things The Gang Has Done

10. Faking A Disability 

This very early incident of the Gang showing their true colours is pretty tame by their standards now, but is still way over the line for most people.

In the Season 2 pilot, Danny DeVito makes his debut as Dee and Dennis’ dad. Immediately, he slots right into the Gang as he helps/competes with their exploitation of handicapped benefits.

Charlie is genuinely injured at first, having a broken leg after Dennis hits him with his car. Being wheelchair bound gets him sympathy at the strip club, but he soon leans into it too much and becomes a crazy, Born On The Fourth Of July-style wheelchair veteran.

Frank initially gets second-hand sympathy for wheeling Charlie around, before soon getting his own, fancier wheelchair. He leaves Charlie floundering and laps up all the sympathy for himself.

Mac and Dennis opt for wheelchairs too, heading to the mall. However, after an argument over backstories, they end up racing and then fighting, ruining the scheme.

Dee plays it slightly more subtle with crutches, but also goes much heavier on the sympathy angle. The Gang have always been a selfish bunch at heart, and this is a prime example.
