Always Sunny is not where you expect something to hit hard. The shows awful but loveable characters constantly have horrible things happen to them because most of the time they deserve it. However, the final episode of season 13 gets the tears flowing as Mac tries to tell his father (the murdering drug dealer Luthor) that he's come out as gay.

Frank tags along despite not understanding Mac and what going through, ending in an amazingly powerful dance performance for the people at Luthor’s prison. Luther walks out and Frank bursts into tears over. Took long enough but Frank finally gets it.
