8 Funniest Cold Opens In TV History
7. It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia - "An Elegant, Comfortable Mitten For Cats!"
More than perhaps any other comedy, It’s Always Sunny has made an art of the opening credits. Each cold open serves as an extended set-up to the punchline of the episode's title reveal.
In the Season 5 episode Home of the Original Kitten Mittens, the gang all compete to create the best merchandise for the pub, in order to take part in a convention that has reached Philly. In the cold open we see Charlie starring in a homemade ad for his horrific “kitten mittens” product, featuring an unhappy looking cat having its footsteps mildly quietened by some very awkward mittens. Charlie's running commentary ("You’ll be smitten!") is the icing on one very ludicrous cake.
