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

Season four episode “Paddy's Pub: The Worst Bar in Philadelphia” is one of the first to highlight the gang’s shoddy business practises. The bar is a dive, and that’s the way they like it - they don’t want to do any work, after all. But that’s for them to say - when someone else comes in criticising the way they do things, they have a right to respond.

That’s exactly what happens when Korman, a local critic, writes a scathing review of the bar in the newspaper. Rather than take the feedback on board or pen a comeback letter, they take the nuclear option, kidnapping the journalist and holding him hostage until he writes a new review.

The gang run through a litany of crimes here, from kidnapping and false imprisonment to assault, but they somehow get away with it. Upon freeing Korman, he writes a new review in which he confirms he won’t be pressing charges, as their miserable lives are punishment enough. He doesn’t mention them by name, though, so they head off to chat with him a little more.
