The gang is back! Join Mac; Charlie; Dennis; Sweet Dee and
Frank; five ne'er-do-wells who own and operate Paddy's Pub in

bar down the street; selling coke for the mob and adopting
dumpster babies for kicks. Join the wildly inappropriate gang at
Paddy's as they wreak dysfunctional havoc on their customers and
each other! and twisted political incorrectness has never
been this laugh-out-loud hilarious!

The folks who populate It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia may be
pals, but they sure aren’t Friends. They may be a gang, but
they’re not Our Gang--heck, these cretins make Spanky, Alfalfa,
and company look like members of the Good Sam Club by contrast.
Consider, if you can bear it, the first of the 15 episodes
(presented, with bonus features, on three discs) from this, the
show’s third season: Mac (Rob McElhenney) and Dee (Caitlin Olson)
discover a baby in a dumpster. Do they report it to the ?
To Child Services, maybe? Of course not! They take it to a
commercial agent, hoping to cash in by putting the kid in TV ads;
and when the agent says that Latino babies are all the rage, they
take him to a tanning salon so he’ll appear darker and more
“ethnic looking.” Meanwhile, Dennis (Glenn Howerton) pretends to
be join a tree-hugging group of hippies, merely so he can steal
the group leader’s girlfriend, while Charlie (Charlie Day) and
Frank (Danny DeVito) spend the day rummaging around at the t
dump. It’s tough to go downhill from there, but that doesn’t stop
them from trying. In the course of the following episodes,
members of the quacked quintet reveal themselves to be not only
rude, devious, unscrupulous, amoral, and dishonest, but also
racist, xenophobic, phobic, and dumb (their endless arguments
about nothing are riotously ridiculous). Not that this will
surprise anyone who’s seen the show before. Dee, Mac, and Dennis
try out for the Philadelphia Eagles while Charlie and Frank drop
. Dee s with the old, toothless janitor at a competing
bar in order to steal their microbrew recipe. They mock a deaf
mute. They fart in each other’s faces. When they think Paddy’s
Pub, where they work, is going to be sold, three of them quickly
land gigs at a nearby restaurant, where they get drunk on the job
and steal from the customers. They even get held hostage by the
hillbilly McPoyle family, possibly the only people in the known
universe who can make our “heroes” look good. And it’s all pretty
hilarious, including the bonus features. Those include humorous
commentary on two episodes by McElhenney, Day, and Howerton (the
show’s executive producers and occasional writers), two
featurettes (a season overview and a look at the McPoyles) that
are as whack as the show itself, a gag reel, and a “Dancing Guy”
sequence so strange as to beggar description. --Sam Graham
