As small-scale depressing as it is whenever It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia wraps up each season of manic depravity, the silver lining (or at least a rusty copper-plated lining) is that fans will get to eventually enjoy watching the star quintet screwing up take after take after take through the majesty of the blooper reel. Season 16 kicked off with a pair of episodes that instantly had us anticipating gag reel excellence, and now that it’s here, I feel safe in saying such expectations were fully justified. Also justified: my assumption that it was next to impossible to keep a straight face opposite the allergy-swollen face of Rob McElhenney’s Mac.
Having wrapped up its monumental 16th season in July, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia remains the longest-running live-action comedy series here in the U.S., and the eight-episode stretch further proved just how timeless it remains. And FX once again unintentionally makes a case for how much fun it would be for full-length episodes specifically devoted to outtakes from Glenn Howerton, Charlie Day, Kaitlin Olsen, Danny DeVito and Rob McElhenney. Check out the somewhat NSFW (for language) video below, and see how long you make it before breaking.
