This show is unbelievably hilarious. My roommate got me into this last year, and before I was slow to get into it, but the more episodes I watched, the more hooked I got. Now I'm a gigantic fan of the show, having seen most of the episodes and having all of the episodes of the first three seasons.
Basically, if you've never heard of it, it's about 4 (later, 5 when DeVito comes in) childhood friends that own a bar in Southern Philadelphia, and although they're in their late 20's and early 30's, all four of them have exceptionally poor judgement and responsibility, and they routinely get themselves into all sorts of shit that may or may not resolve at the end of the episode. Not to mention that all of them, although friends, have pretty massive egos and competitive streaks and they try to screw each other over all of the time.
What's so funny about this show is the fact all of the cast members have incredible chemistry with each other. I am to understand that several of the cast members are in fact married with each other, and most of, if not all four have been real life friends for years. It's really easy for a viewer to believe that a lot of the conversations that go on in the show aren't really as scripted as they seem! Danny DeVito is an excellent addition to the cast as well, and everyone really meshes together.
Besides all that shit, it's probably the funniest show I've ever seen.

Oh yes, it was recommended to me last summer and I watched through a whole lot of it over summer and fall. Charlie is such a golden character.
However I found after watching through two seasons in two days I started to talk and think like Charlie. It has gone away now but I'm sure it'll come back once the series comes back (or has it already and I just haven't noticed yet?)

if you like this, you'd like Corner Gas. ...which is basically Seinfeld, but set in Dog River, Saskatchewan.

You're kidding me of course
right?
It's nothing like Seinfeld.
Trust me, it definitely isn't Seinfeld. Go to hulu.com and watch an episode of the show. (Season 2 onwards give the best impression of what the overall show is like)

This is one of my favorite parts of the whole show. I wrote it down because I was going to adapt it for a local sketch show.
Bank Lady: "And what is the reason you're requesting a loan today?"
Mac: "wait for it.... gasoline"
Bank Lady: "Excuse me?"
Mac: "Look here's the plan, you give us a shitload of money. We buy a shitload of gasoline. We wait twelve months, we sell the gasoline and make a shitload of profit."
Bank Lady: "gentlemen we tend to give loans to businesses not..."
Dennis: "she's not getting it."
Mac: "Get the graphs"
Dennis: "Oh yeah the graphs"
Dennis: "check this out, Now these are the gas prices last year, these are the gas prices this year and this is what the gas prices will be."
Bank Lady: "And what are those?"
Dennis: "oh these are gorgeous women with huge breasts"
Bank lady: "why?"
Dennis: "well to be perfectly honest we sort of thought we'd be speaking to a man today so..."
Mac: "yeah is there any way we could talk to your boss because I think he would understand more better"
Bank Lady: "My boss is a woman"
Mac: "really?"
Dennis: "Your boss is a woman? Now this is a strange bank"
Bank Lady: "yeah well I'm definitely rejecting your request for 300 000 dollars to buy gasoline"
Mac: "Dennis you're on"
Dennis: "yeah I just have a crazy thought. How about I take you to the back and... 'change your mind'?"
Charlie: "Or how about we all go in the back and have great sex (blink)"
Dennis: "what are you doing?"
Charlie: "I'm playing a wild card here man"
Mac: "dude just let dennis do his thing okay"
Charlie: "I can be very sexual with a woman alright, you will enjoy it"
Dennis: "now is not the right time to pull the wild card okay let me do my thing let me do this"
Mac: "let Dennis bang her so we can get our loan"
Charlie: "listen here, what if she wanted to bang me or you for that matter"
Dennis: "you can't pull the wild card when I've pulled my shirt off. That should be a rule can that be a rule?"
Mac: "yeah that can be a rule"
Charlie: "your shirt is not off"
Dennis: "Well now it is goddammit"
Charlie: "oh well whoah"
Dennis: "let me do my job"
Dennis: "what are YOU doing goddammit let me do my thing. Alright so..."
Mac: "we'll let you decide. which one of us do you want to take in the back and bang?"
(From the episode "The Gang Solves the Gas Crisis")
Man I love It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia. Whenever they kidnap people. You can't go wrong with kidnapping people. I've been a bit iffy when it comes to Danny DeVito. Occasionally he is something great but I find that it's really just the core four's infighting that work out the best.

tsk, this really doesn't seem like anything I'd find funny in the least
I think you should check it out first.

I mean with a statement like this I think you're just being contrary for the hell of it, especially if you've never heard of it/watched it.

author=Feldschlacht IV link=topic=3025.msg58923#msg58923 date=1233177231No, honestly it is. It's a show with a cast of morally bankrupt (but not actively malicious, most of the time) protagonists doing every day things and either because of their numerous faults or just because of the crapsack world they're living in, fail to accomplish anything particularly major, in amusing ways. It's a lot darker than Seinfeld, but it's the same sort of concept.
It's nothing like Seinfeld.
Keep in mind I really like Always Sunny (and Seinfeld for that matter), but it's because of the execution, not because it's some sort of revolutionary setup for a sitcom.
Yeah, you're right. But I always found the execution a lot different than Seinfeld, and the presentation is very refreshing. I wouldn't say it's darker than Seinfeld, but they shit that they do in Sunny (episodes like "Dennis Looks Like A Registered Sex Offender" and "The Gang Goes Jihad") is just crazy over the top.
I mean stuff like Dee dating a local rapper before Dennis, Mac, and Charlie tricks her into thinking he's retarded, and the guy not only isn't retarded, but he gets up on stage and busts a rap about how she's a broke ass gold digger and humiliates her, or stuff like Dennis and Dee getting addicted to crack cocaine to get on welfare.
You just don't see that shit on Seinfeld!

author=Feldschlacht IV link=topic=3025.msg59057#msg59057 date=1233208638I'm convinced.

Unfortunately, Hulu only streams to residents in the US.
Fuck.

I'm saying its not my type of comedy
I'm getting that based on your descriptions of scenes/storylines
it just seems too over the top, and stuff like that just turns me off
I could actually sit down and watch a few episodes but I doubt it'll change my opinion, I'll probably just be shaking my head thinking "god this is just so stupid"
the sample shinan provided is all I need to see, I just don't like that staright forward, broad type of comedy, I like subtle comedy
and I doubt you are going to tell me that this is a subtle show, therefore I know before watching that it is not a show I would like
