I can't think of a more consistently funny show that has lasted this long.

South Park comes the closest.

I mean, it's been better longer than the Simpsons at this point.

It's the greatest television show ever.

There's no quicker way to identify a pleb than someone who "doesn't get" Sunny.

Only people with donkey brains hate Sunny.

No show that good has lasted so long.

Have you seen the last three seasons? The average quality and originality is far less than the peak of the show. It is one of the best sitcoms ever, but these last seasons have not been consistent at all.

Cheers is good. But yeah, laugh tracks make it about half of a show, not a whole one.
>>
>>63767094
Wow, I totally disagree. There have been a lot of repeated jokes and generally less funny episodes. Of course there have been great episodes in the last few seasons, but on average way worse than earlier ones.
>>
>>63767143

>implying Cheers used a laugh track

It was filmed before an audience. No canned laughter there.

Charlie Work

How is Danny Devito naked, painted black with a recorder in his mouth not the funniest thing ever?

Still, you're taking huge breaks in dialogue to get the laughing out of the way, less time to fill. They also can't have more than, like 3 locations. You can't have a truly great show with these limitations.
>>
>>63767072
Mac Day was a good episode because it made fun of how bad the show has gotten
>>
>>63767165
They're becoming more self aware, that's for sure. But the repeated jokes are used intelligently, like they're in denial and want to relive past adventures.
>>
>>63767255

Well, history tends to disagree with you, as Cheers and the other two shows mentioned are considered to be the greatest sitcoms of all time. And laughter can actually add to a show, making a good show great. Look at the Carol Burnett Show. The whole appeal of the show was the actors trying to crack each other up with their improv. You'd have times where a good minute would go by with just the cast and audience cracking up, and that's what made the show great. It was must see TV back then.

I do. Every one of those shows is fucking terrible.

>>63767486

How about you expand your horizons and watch some shows that were made before the 1990s? You don't know what you're missing. While it was in the 90s, Northern Exposure was also great fucking TV which doesn't get near enough love around here as it should.
>>
>>63767398
literally not possible. television was very different back then, there wasn't very many channels so the incentive for quality wasn't there. They just filled time and produced shows that were entertaining to watch, and they did, because there was nothing to compete with. A product from a writers room of old men to appeal to the clueless masses.

Since tv is so huge and vast now, it's hard to get your show seen let alone revered. The fact that Sunny came out of nowhere, lasted this long and has never had a bad season is truly a miracle and an accomplishment.
>>
Awhile back someone suggested an episode title
"Frank burns the entire city down"
>>

>I'M A FIVE STAR MAN!

Stop being edgy. There was lots of great episodes.

But yeah, The Gang Goes on Family Fight and Frank Retires are the worst episodes they've ever done. They make Frank's Brother look not so bad in retrospect.

>I mean, it's been better longer than the Simpsons at this point.

They only do 10-13 episodes a season.

When the Simpsons was good, they were doing 20+ episodes a season.

They still don't have as many good episodes. They just have a formula that they didn't exhaust as fast by not using it as much.
>>
>>63767184
Charlie Work is hands down the best episode of any sitcom ever.

it was done with a level of finesse only seen in good cinema.
>>
>>63767775
Charlie Work is a candidate for best episode of any TV show ever.

Right up there with The Eye of the Beholder from The Twilight Zone and the episode of The Sopranos where they're stranded in the woods.
>>
>>63767615
The Gang Beats Boggs was great imo.
>>
>>63767677

I'm not saying Sunny is a bad show. Quite the contrary. It's a bright spot in a field of mediocrity. All I'm saying is that it's not the GOAT. It's got some stiff competition. The fact that Sunny is even mentioned with these classics should be an honor.
>>
>>63767072
It's definitely gotten worse, but is still funny.
>>
>>63767855

You can't tell me with a straight face that pleb trash like Cheers is even in the same galaxy as Sunny in terms of quality.

You're really showing your age, grandpa.
>>
>>63767912

I can and I will. Cheers is better than Sunny.

Get off my lawn.

Always Sunny males other shows look like a BITCH

I want to bang Kaitlin's scrawny bird ass.

Also, now that she's past 40, she's going to start getting huge milf tits. It's going to be great.

I get the vibe Rob McElhenney is a smart as shit business man. Like, he got a show by having a 10 minute skit on a vhs tape. Now he's directing Minecraft, which is a pretty sweet gig.

It was kind of different what you could put on network in the 80s compared to what you can do now on cable.

Mac is autistic and Dennis is a sociopath.

Going into the sewers with Frank and Charlie would be a much more rewarding experience.

yeah chilling with the dynamic duo would be like hanging out with your strict grandpa and his flaky wife.

>>63767184
Because nothing will ever be funnier than Danny Devito naked, fully-shaven, covered in hand sanitizer, slithering on the ground like a slug, wishing to be pure.
>>
>>63768062
plus frank has all the money
>>
>>63768207
Except Danny Devito, naked, climbing out of a couch at a Christmas party.

> Mac is autistic and Dennis is a sociopath.

So...4chan?
>>
>>63768207
Such an underrated episode.

The creepy music in the background that starts every time Frank starts talking about wanting to "be pure" obliterates my sides every time.
>>
>>63768207
in my opinion danny devito being birthed by a couch was funnier
but slug danny is close
both were very slimy

Gruesome twosome is funnier, but the dynamic duo has more lasting power.

You don't make a meal just out of spice.
>>
>>63766993
I can agree with this. Season 8 was when they started rehashing episodes like the one where they redo the group dynamic where Mac is the muscle, Dennis is the brains, and Charlie is the wild card
>>
>>63768371
Why not? It's pretty damn unique.

Up until that point, gangsters were portrayed as cool, knew how to get away with crime and never made stupid mistakes.

The idea that even mob guys fuck up like the rest of us is pretty genius.

That was the point of that episode though. Go back and look at the rest of the eps from that season:
>"The Maureen Ponderosa Wedding Massacre"
>"Charlie and Dee Find Love"
>"The Gang Gets Analyzed"
>"The Gang Dines Out"
>"Reynolds vs. Reynolds: The Cereal Defense"

Those are all great eps.

The Gang Dines out is a god-tier ep
