undefined

Product Description ------------------- 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 Philadelphia; where mentally challenged rappers rub elbows with sex offenders; and where business as usual means sabotaging the 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! .com ---- 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 Beyond It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia – Season 3 on DVD It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia – Seasons 1 & 2 on DVD ( ../gp/product/%20B000RW3VDE%20/ref=d_ap_21_1 ) Arrested Development – Season One on DVD ( ../gp/product/%20B0002PYS7Y/ref=d_ap_21_1 ) Arrested Development – Season Two on DVD ( ../gp/product/%20B000A9QKRI/ref=d_ap_21_1 ) Stills from It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia – Season Three (Click for larger image)
