It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia: The Gang's Most Outrageous Exploits From Each Season
8. The Gang Buys A Boat (Season 6)
Anytime the Gang gets taken out of their usual dank pub habitat is a treat. When they decide to invest $2,500 into a life of leisure, all it buys them is the junkiest boat in the marina. Despite that, its honestly endearing to see them embark on a new and exciting adventure. Charlie and Frank are most interested in using the boat for shrimping, but its Mac and Dennis who steal the episode. By the sixth season the show is really getting bold exploring Denniss sexual deviance and sociopathy. The implication speech is maybe the best of his many disturbing monologues. Dennis doesnt want to hurt anyone when he takes them out to the middle of the ocean, but hes willing to use the implication that he might to get laid. Romantic Mac, who never fully grasps the nuance, later explains to his date that he cant wait for her to make rash decisions based on fear. Dee is mostly just along for the ride, but Kaitlin Olson gets an especially memorable scene dancing alongside an inflatable tube man to Steve Winwoods Back in the High Life Again. And that moment of relief when the girls show up to save Mac and Dennis from a sketchy party is a rare case of things going right for the Gang. Until, of course, Charlie burns down the boat.
