It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia: 10 Times Dennis Reynolds Embraced His Inner Sociopath

It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia rounded off 2021 with the release of its 15th season, achieving the record of longest running live-action sitcom on TV in the process.

That type of longevity is hard to come by without great writing, interesting settings, and memorable characters, but Always Sunny has all of that in spades. Over the course of almost 20 years, we have watched as the gang have each developed and grown as characters, gaining their own unique quirks, traits, and insecurities.

Some have been touching to witness, such as Mac's acceptance of his homosexuality despite his father disapproving. On the other hand, watching Frank's schemes grow more absurd and delusional while tripping out on whatever drugs he can get his hands on, hasn't been quite as heartfelt.

Dennis Reynolds has also evolved and become a much more fleshed out character during the show's 15 seasons, but to say he has become a more compassionate individual would be a barefaced lie. His self perceived status as a "Golden God" results in arrogance and a superiority complex that would rival even the most narcissistic among us.

There is also a dark side to Dennis Reynolds that has matured over the years, resulting in Dennis displaying sociopathic and downright serial killer-like tendencies, that keep us questioning if we really know the real Dennis Reynolds.

Living in the suburbs isn't for everyone, and some people prefer the hustle and bustle of big cities and relish in being amongst it all. It doesn't take long for Mac and Dennis to realise this.

While their apartment is being repaired, the pair move out to the suburbs in what appears to be a golden opportunity for them. Things slowly deteriorate however, and it becomes clear that the two are much better adjusted to city living.

Dennis's morning commute is a trip from hell as he screams obscenities at old women, and his neighbour's polite chitchat about the weather grates on him so much he eventually snaps.

The audience gets a glimpse inside Dennis's head as a hallucination plays out of him stripping naked while berating neighbour Wally, until he explodes into a wild frenzy, screaming at the top of his lungs. Thankfully, the scenario is all imaginary, but it begs the question, what else goes on in Dennis's mind that he keeps locked away in dark corners?
