The real life It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia


So many hilarious similarities between these shows. Both are about a group of the biggest narcissists, alcoholics, drug addicts, cheaters, liars, manipulatiors, they constantly back stab each other and destroy each other's lives yet they for some reason remain friends, and they all work at a bar for a millionaire. There is even an episode in each show where a main character lies to the rest of the characters about having cancer. And there's also a character who thinks she's a good actress/comedian when in fact she's absolutely horrible... as well as a flamboyant man who thinks he's a good singer/musician but is just awful...

Any other Sunny fans here? Any other similarities you can find?

I LOVE Sunny!!! Didn't Dennis bang the waitress his best friend Charlie is obsessed with...much like Jax banging his best friend Tom's girlfriend??!!

Side note: I also feel this season is the real life Heathers.

My feet have wings, barf bag.

Didn't you listen the other day; Ariana stole Kristen's BF from her? These people need serious psychological help; "lay off the booze!" It's fermenting their "common brain!"  

And then she banged Frank to get back at Dennis! Omg, you're both right.

reply

Haha so true!

reply

Yes, definitely!

reply

FRANK!!!!!! So, would Frank be Ken??!!

Jax is kind of like a mix between Frank, Dennis, and Mac.....but also Charlie when he was on that date and trying to say that he was a philanthropist (full on rapist)....it's so confusing! I wonder if he likes milk steak.

reply

Jax is definitely a mix of all of them, I agree. Even how the gang questions Mac's sexuality, and I swear there were rumors that Jax had hooked up with a guy at one point, and people were saying he is the type who has the mentality that "a hole is a hole" or something along those lines. He is very similar to Mac in that he is very obsessed with his own body and with bulking, but he also lies, manipulates and sleeps with hoards of women, similarly to Dennis. Charlie not being able to move beyond the waitress and her control of him reminds me of the early seasons of Vanderpump where Stassi had total control of Jax and he was powerless before her...

reply

All excellent points! Plus, remember that one season when Mac gained a bunch of weight? I think that will be Jax soon/currently. The way that Jax "can't talk no good" especially reminds me of Charlie. Do we know if he has ever dated a retarded person? Looking for similarities with Dee....

reply

Haha! There isn't really anyone as vile as Frank on Vanderpump, but the fact that Frank owns Paddy's and has a never ending amount of money to bail out the gang when they get into their shenanigans... Lisa also is a millionaire who kind of bails out the cast from time to time when they get into it... clearly Lisa is classier, smarter, just better in all aspects than Frank, but its a funny comparison!

reply

I could also see Jax eating dog food and pooping the bed, like Frank.

reply

I wouldn't be surprised if Jax films himself having sex, saves them all and rewatches them, similarly to Dennis also...

reply

Oh, totally.

reply

Also there are so many similarities between Sweet Dee and Kristin. In their pursuits of being an actor, stand up comic, sleeping with random different people, being constantly *beep* on by the rest of the cast... both come of kind of sad to me, and kind of desperate but also really don't give a rip what other people think about them... it's crazy...

reply

Plus, she dated James and his intelligence is questionable and he is into music.

reply

Too true...
