Top 10 It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia Episodes

7. The Gang Solves The Gas Crisis

It's Always Sunny Mac and Dennis Move to the Suburbs
FX

The best episodes of Sunny exploit the gang's crazy schemes and their close to the wire humour, and this episode does just that. As the guys try to exploit the rising prices of gasoline, Dee and Frank try to brand Dee and Dennis' birth father a terrorist, as he is about to donate their inheritance to a Muslim community centre.

However, Mac, Dennis, and Charlie run into numerous obstacles, despite their perfectly thought out Ghostbuster's dynamic, and Dee and Frank unknowingly torment the wrong person, as the man they are spying on isn't actually their intended victim. And to think, Frank was so close to waterboarding the guy.

So many great gags stem from this episode, with Charlie's "wild card" antics escalating every situation he is in, Dennis' narcissism reaching incredible heights as the "looks" of the operation, and Mac's self-indulgent title as the "brains" derails their foolproof plan of selling gas door-to-door.

On the other hand, it's Frank's Islamophobia and torture lust that gift some of the greatest comedic moments in the character's history, with Dee along for the ride as the "useless chick". It's equal parts offensive and incredibly smart, and completely Sunny.
