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

In some episodes, the gang’s dreadful deeds are for an understandable (and more rarely, even noble) reason. They might be trying to make money, or gain closure on a difficult incident they’ve gone through. Their actions may be wrong, but you can at least understand what they were going for.

Then there are episodes like season eight’s “Charlie’s Mom Has Cancer”, in which Frank convinces his children to dig up the skeletal corpse of their mother simply to teach them a lesson for suggesting that he was losing his sharpness in his old age.

The reveal of Barbara Reynolds’ skeleton is quite the genuine, gruesome surprise to cap off an episode which primarily leaves Frank on the backburner. He gleefully guffaws as Dee and Dennis react as one might when confronted with such a dreadful sight. Given how the gang speak to each other as a matter of course, for Frank to take such umbrage at relatively light criticism is quite the moment.

On the other hand, the event is so shocking that Dennis accomplishes his goal of actually feeling something, so maybe Frank did the right thing after all.
