Throughout its 13 seasons, Always Sunny had plenty of road trip episodes where the gang leaves the bar to go on adventures. The best of them all is 'The Gang Beats Boggs.' The best of them all is. The percentage of users who rated this 3.5 stars or higher. But It's Always Sunny shows no signs of resting on its laurels with a seventh season that charts a hilariously.

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, the rum ham eating, paint huffing, 'Seinfeld on crack' sitcom about five degenerates running a rundown bar even further down, is entering its newest season. I understand, however, that there are still some of you that haven't watched any of it yet, which is frankly inexcusable. To help you out, and so I don't have to mentally note each and every one of you as dead to me, I've chosen the best episode from each of the 10 previous seasons and listed them here.

These will help to gently ease you into the world of Dennis, Dee, Mac, Charlie and Frank - like gradually getting into a bath, but a bath that's suspiciously yellow and has cigarette butts floating in it. You'll then be better placed to watch the rest of It's Always Sunny, as well as return to this article and tell me why my choices are incorrect in the comments. If you're already a fan then you can just skip to the last part.

Season 1 - Charlie Got Molested

When you go back and watch the first season it's actually remarkably different to the later ones (in that the central characters seem to have a grip on normality, slippery though it may be). Charlie Got Molested is the last of the opening season, and it perfectly encapsulates the central premise: everyone in the show is an awful, terrible person.

It also introduces the McPoyles for the first time, a pair of brothers who, like the main gang, grow increasingly disgusting and always make you feel like you need a wash. The McPoyle family continues to feature sporadically, and eventually grows to include Guillermo del Toro as Pappy McPoyle. Using i movie.

Season 2 - The Gang Exploits a Miracle

The second season brings in Danny DeVito as Frank Reynolds, Dee and Dennis' father and a main member of the cast from here on out. Quicktime mpeg playback component. The Gang Exploits a Miracle is notable mainly for the B plot, in which Dee seduces a priest that she had been at school with and who was known, for reasons that I won't go into, as Rickety Cricket.

As a direct result of this Rickety Cricket loses his job. Over the course of years on the show he spins further out of control, becoming homeless, horribly scarred, and addicted to various substances. Cricket is a kind of physical representation of the show's content, which has become increasingly unsettling over the years.

Season 3 - The Gang Dances Their Asses Off

A case in point is The Gang Dances Their Asses Off, the season three finale, by which point Rickety Cricket has had both legs broken. Here the gang have accidentally signed their bar up as the prize in a dance marathon and, instead of working together to get it back, proceed to spend the entire episode dicking each other over. It's a fine example of how none of the characters learn anything from their mistakes or grow as people (which is one of the reasons it's compared to Seinfeld so often).

Season 4 - The Nightman Cometh

The Nightman Cometh needs little context to be enjoyed. It's a musical written by Charlie (the actors actually did a mini tour in 2009, where they performed the musical live).

I have a framed poster for The Nightman Cometh on my wall at home. It's a very good episode of television.

Season 5 - The D.E.N.N.I.S. System

Dennis is almost definitely a sociopath, as evidenced perfectly by his explanation of the six point technique he uses to seduce women. By this stage Dennis has properly begun his downward spiral from almost reasonable person in season one to unpredictably violent man in season 10, so it's a nice point to check in with him before he goes completely off the rails.

Season 6 - Who Got Dee Pregnant?

It's Always Sunny, like all good (and bad) shows has its fair share of seasonal special episodes, this being a Halloween one. Each member of the gang recounts their version of a Halloween party at the bar where they got incredibly drunk, in order to piece together what actually happened.

The jokes are so well layered, and drawn out so well, that this is one of the finest twenty minutes of comedy you're likely to see. It also features the McPoyles drinking room temperature milk, wearing dressing gowns at inappropriate times, and simulating the sound of two characters having sex in a toilet stall. This may not initially sound like something you need in your life, but it is.

Season 7 - How Mac Got Fat

From this point onwards it gets incredibly hard to choose the best episode of each season (the seventh, for example, also boasts the episode Chardee MacDennis, which is fantastic), but How Mac Got Fat deserves a mention for the sheer effort that went into it. Rob McElhenney, the creator of the show as well as the actor who plays Mac, gained three and a half stone for the seventh season, which isn't explained until this episode at the tail end of it.

McElhenney apparently tried to get all the cast to do the same, poking fun at how, in most conventional shows, the cast get better looking as they become more successful, but none of them could be persuaded. McElhenney buckled down on his own and gained the weight in five months, before losing it again for the eighth season.

Season 8 - Reynolds vs. Reynolds: The Cereal Defense

The gang stage a mock trial to determine who is at fault when Dennis spills cereal in his car (Dennis for eating cereal whilst driving, or Frank for hitting his car and causing the spill). The debate, however, veers off into other, deeper subjects, with Mac putting up a surprisingly robust if somewhat infuriating defence for divine creation over evolution (mainly by arguing that 'Science is a liar sometimes').

Season 9 - Flowers for Charlie

This is probably the most consistently good season of television I've ever seen, but only if you watch it in the context of the whole show, so in that sense it's sort of hard to pick the best one.

That said, I'm going with Flowers for Charlie, which works really well without context, as it lampoons a lot of established story conventions. It was written by the showrunners for Game of Thrones, so you can tell people really thought It's Always Sunny was proper good at this point.

Season 10 - Charlie Work

Charlie has to somehow pass a health inspection of the bar at the same time as the rest of the gang is running a 'steak and chicken and air miles scam', and ashamed as I am to recommend two Charlie episodes in a row, Charlie Work is an exemplary piece of both filming and writing. It demonstrates that this show is actually really smart, though it pretends not to be.

The whole episode is filmed to look like one shot - though there are some cleverly disguised cuts to transition between sets - and in fact about a third of the episode is one shot, with no camera tricks whatsoever, accompanied by a kind of free form jazz drumming soundtrack which a lot of people compared to Birdman.

If you only watch one episode of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia then it should be Charlie Work. But you should watch the rest of it too. Otherwise you're a jabroni.

Despite getting snubbed (yet again) by award shows, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia remains one of the funniest and most underappreciated shows on TV.

Even after 13+ seasons, IASIP is still comedy gold. So if you're in the mood to watch Charlie, Mac, and the gang (on Hulu only because clearly, Netflix doesn't recognize a good thing when it's in front of them), here's the ultimate list.

While preparing to step into the wrestling ring, Dee and Charlie end up hopped up on steroids. Kaitlin Olsen proves yet again she's the master of rage comedy and Charlie busts out some serious moves.

Mac is fat. Cricket has been shot. Dee has gone psycho due to the imminent hurricane, and Charlie is running around like a madman with an ax. The final season when Cricket ‘s car crashes into the store and they all go mad makes me crack up every single time.

The gang suspects that Mac is the local serial killer and decide to stalk him to find out the truth. The best part of the episode happens at the end when Dee and Dennis decide to get in the mind of a serial killer, dress up as a killer clown a killer painter, and stalk the waitress. Perfection.

In order to win a bet against Frank, Mac and Dennis move to the suburbs for a month only to find it completely torturous. The whole thing comes to a head when Mac feeds Dennis their dead dog (also named Dennis) and Dennis, Dee, and Mac end up sleeping in a bed with an old (black) man. Don't ask.

Bonus: 'Mac and Dennis Break Up' (Season 5, Episode 9) is a close second if you're looking for more Mac/Dennis action.
