It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, "The Gang Gets A New Member"

Jason Sudekeis from Saturday Night Live guest starred on this week's episode of Always Sunny as the gang's long lost member.

The guys set out to reconnect with their old pal, Schmitty, after opening a time capsule they had put together 10 years earlier.  Charlie is hesitant to hang out with Schmitty though.  The reason becomes obvious when Charlie finally gets so fed up with Schmitty and confronts Mac and Dennis to either get rid of Schmitty or he will leave.  They choose Schmitty, of course.

Meanwhile, Dee is revisiting her high school drama teacher after she uncovered a letter she wrote to her future self.  She had hoped that she would be a famous actress in Hollywood by now, and instead she's pregnant and working in a Philadelphia dive bar.

Dee is asked to give an inspirational speech to a class of students, where she is hilariously ignored by everyone.  Charlie finds her at the high school, and applies for a job as the janitor there so that him and Dee can be best friends.

The antics that ensue with Dennis, Mac, Frank and Schmitty are predictable, but definitely make for one of the better episodes so far this season.  Charlie steals the laughs when he uses a picture of Bruce Jenner in the Olympics as his resume for janitor at the high school.

It becomes obvious to the viewers by the end of the episode why the gang had gotten rid of Schmitty years ago.  He is actually far too normal to put up with their odd activities, like wearing matching watches, so that when put together, they make up a four leaf clover.

The guys find Charlie mopping floors in the school, and beg for him to come back to the gang.  I am proud to say that he stood up for himself and is happy with his current job, but we all know he will be right back at the bar with the rest of the guys and Dee next Thursday.

Add season 5 of Always Sunny to your holiday wish list!

  2. I LOVE THIS SHOW. It's completely random but absolutely hysterical! Best episode ever has to be: "Who Pooped the Bed?".

    Check that one out for sure.
