It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia: 10 Reasons It's The Funniest Show On TV

7. It's Super-Politically Incorrect

As examples, let me explain to you some of the shows most... colorful... titles: "Charlie Got Molested," "The Gang Goes Jihad," "The Gang Finds A Dumpster Baby," "Mac Fights Gay Marriage," "Charlie Gets Crippled," and of course, "Sweet Dee's Dating A Retarded Person." Not only are the characters in this show raw and offensive, they market the ridiculousness of the whole ordeal by giving their episodes these straight-forward titles. The style of the show is such that everything is taken lightly. Find a baby in a dumpster? The characters name it DB (short for Dumpster Baby) and try to turn him into a baby model so they can make money. Pop-pop has a family heirloom he wants you to have? It's a Nazi uniform! No subject is too risque, no social group safe from mockery. There are no limits! If it can be argued - abortion, underage drinking, who's going to be on the Paddy's billboard - The Gang will not hold back. They will take it on, disrespecting and misinterpreting the topic left and right. Nothing is sacred, not even water stains that look like the Virgin Mary.
