I Think One Reason It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia Resonates With People Is Because It Doesn’t

I think one reason It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia resonates with people is because it doesn’t try to present a sitcom reality in which things are always okay and work out, where conflicts are always resolved and where the characters are quirky but not dysfunctional. The Sunny characters are fucked up and they deal with their fucked-up-ness in fucked up ways and often those fucked-up ways are the only ways they have available.

And I think for some people it’s oddly comforting to see that reality displayed on a screen. 

If you’ve had an experience in your life where you’ve had to deal with a broken system or where you’ve realized that the only things available to help you cope are imperfect at best or fucked up at worst, if you’ve ever looked around and realized what you got isn’t fair but there’s no way to rectify it….then this show will resonate with you. It makes you feel seen, in some odd way. The way that love and care genuinely exists alongside hurt and trauma and bad decisions and bad circumstances. And it’s all mixed up so you can’t even pull apart if you wanted to. And people don’t get it, so you don’t even try to explain it. And it’s a little fucked up, you know that, but it’s also so good sometimes, and that’s what people don’t get. And, for better or worse, it’s yours. It makes you feel like oh I wasn’t crazy when everyone was acting like I could fix this if I just followed the right steps, but none of those steps actually exists in the way they think it does. And then you just have to laugh, you know? Because this shit is funny and life is funny and it’s good, honestly, it is still good, even when you’re crying, even when it sucks. Something something it’s always sunny even when it’s not, you know? 

Or idk maybe you’re just a dudebro who thinks dArK hUmOuR is funny. I’m not gonna tell you how to live your life.

my favourite thing about macdennis is their weird domestic habits like wdym they rented all their furniture for more than two decades instead of buying them. they rented the predator movie each time too even though it's their favourite movie that they've watched 30 times in the last two months. mac peels dennis' apples for him and dennis isn't allowed to eat apples with them. they have monthly dinners that they look forward to where they dress nicely and go to fancy restaurants. MONTHLY. mac only knows how to cook boxed mac and cheese and dennis screams at him for this but doesn't consider taking up cooking himself ofc. they make a room in their suburbs house a trash room and paste fresherners all over the room bc they don't know how to just take out the trash like normal people. they need two rooms and two bathrooms at minimum as a home, and bc they can't find that, they'd rather sleep with dee and an old man in one bed in a house with only one bathroom. the fact that basically nothing in their house before the fire belonged to mac, and dennis supposedly hates living with mac and yet still does even though they're pushing 50. they seem to share their finance, and dennis tells mac to stop buying the rock drinks using it. dennis lets mac massage his pecs and dye his hair. they do all this and yet dennis acts like mac is insane for acting like they're a couple.

Last night, I had an IASIP dream in which the gang somehow swaps bodies. So because I’m not quite right, I fleshed it out and shared it on the internet.
