ponsaelius Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 Also unlike a lot of North American owners they have got involved in football because of how different it is to American sports. The football pyramid system of promotion/relegation and the way clubs are wedded to their communities are basically the main things that attracted McElhenney to look to buy a club in the first place.

All the characters seem to hate each other. It’s not clever and I’m pretty sure it’s mostly improvised. Everyone just rejects everyone’s ideas till the good looking one(think his name is Dennis) comes up with an idea and then they all go “yea yea, let’s do that”. And listen, I have taste. I’ve seen everything from The Wire to Trailer Park Boys(IMO GOAT comedy), Office UK, Breaking Bad, Peep Show, pretty much everything on the IMDB 250 and if I was rating It’s Always Sunny on a scale of 1-10, it’d get a 2 and that’s only because the production makes it look like a real TV show. I have watched the show with a straight face because there are literally NO JOKES. Zero. It’s like some sort of shock humor or something. I can’t explain it and I’m bewildered at the amount of fans it has. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyc35i Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 I’d disagree with your 2/10 rating, but that’s why television (like football) is great because it divides taste and therefore opinion. All the shows you mentioned are great - although I’d say Breaking Bad was extremely overhyped in my view which is similar to your point on Sunny I guess Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Icarus Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 I've always been fascinated by it and have watched it loads of times trying to get into it. I enjoy the hijinx but aside from the implication scene I've never seen why other people put it on the same level as stuff like Arrested Development, Trailer Park Boys, Community, 30 Rock etc in terms of it actually being funny like.

Stifler Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 (edited) It’s sunny in Philadelphia is very hit & miss. Some episodes are funny, others are just cringy. As for hating Wrexham, I guess people are just tired of all the publicity over them because of their owners. I think a lot of National League fans think they have just bought the league. However I do think that they have helped emphasise that having only 2 clubs go up is a problem, and possibly that the National League should be absorbed into the EFL. Personally, I’m not that arsed. I think a lot of Wrexham fans have been through it, and they have gained the lottery ticket everyone down there wants. On top of that Wrexham itself is a fairly deprived area. It lacks investment and jobs, and I guess it’s good that the town now has something to cheer about with their football club.

Superior Acuña Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 (edited) Always Sunny is mostly great I think. In a complete different league to 30 Rock. Astro- "no jokes".?? Not even sure what you mean. Most good comedies don't read out jokes. It's about amusing moments, and I'd say Always Sun has a v good rate of them.
