I’ve been lucky enough to preview tomorrow night’s It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia episode — “The Gang Tries Desperately to Win an Award” — and it belongs in the Paddy’s Pantheon. Not only does the episode provide perfect commentary on Sunny’s seeming complete inability to even sniff a nomination for any sort of television award, but it’s also just really damn funny.
As the credits rolled I found myself thinking it was my favorite episode since “Chardee MacDennis: The Game of Games,” and since I don’t want to give away anything from tomorrow night, let’s instead celebrate one of the greatest Sunny episodes of all time with a brief and necessary tribute. First, a reminder of the levels:
Poor Dee is going to cry for a month straight after Level 3 again, isn’t she?
Why you have to nail down the board:
Before we get started, what is Charlie’s favorite board game again?
Let the festivities begin!
You flinch, you lose.
SHUT. UP. DOG.
At this point you should just go re-watch the episode. Because it’s not just a game…
See you guys on Thursday when we’ll discuss awards.
