When I was 30 I had a large brain tumor cut out of my head, I couldn't walk or really do much of anything by myself. During this time is when I discovered Always Sunny and I got to say it really made that miserable time enjoyable. To this day it remains one of my favorites. Thank you so much cast and crew of Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

Ahaaa! Kudos on the recovery!!!! I had a similar traumatic situation in a car accident 10 years ago. After I woke and was learning to walk and talk again, finding this show kept me laughing and laughing. Miserable times+Always Sunny=truly not that miserable of times lol. I thank them so much too

@mrjjwwjj 4 жыл бұрын

Mac has always been my favorite character on its sunny. The way rob plays him is perfect. He’s the transitional character between Charlie and Dennis. It’s like Mac is the glue that brings them together. Charlie and Dennis would never be friends if they hadn’t shared the common friend in Mac. Not only is he the transitional character that ties the two most extreme characters together but he’s the perfect blend of the two types. He’s stupid like Charlie but also narcissistic like Dennis yet not quite at the level of either of them. It’s like the stupid of Charlie prevents him from being as narcissistic as Dennis and the narcissism of Dennis prevents him from being as dumb as Charlie. Though there are many examples where he is as extreme in both ways because it would be boring if he was always perfectly between them. Those are some of the best episodes when Mac leans harder towards one side or the other and then he’s usually opposed to the other side when he does because those characters, Dennis and Charlie are opposites and when Mac chooses one or the other it always creates conflict but when Mac is being himself the three of them tend to work together. The writing on this show is fucking brilliant.

@ginao6810 10 ай бұрын

Mac is underrated. And Rob doesn’t get the props he deserves. The other all get their kudos. Charlie is a comedic (and musical) genius. Glenn is a superb, highly trained actor Caitlin is in a league of her own; the funniest woman on TV. And Danny is Danny Devito Enough said. But Rob is overlooked. I also really enjoyed him on Welcome to Wrexham, was good to see his own personality shine through.

Man I love Rob (and the rest of the Sunny team) so so so much. I’m almost thankful that his show doesn’t get attention from the Emmy’s (and similar groups) because I think that’s what keeps it sacred. No other show has done what Sunny does, and no show ever will. Forget the Emmy’s, RCG has a following that is way more important to them than any award or publicized recognition ever will.

His new show is fantastic. We've seen several takes at the software industry, and it usually falls flat. The characters don't seem to know what they're supposed to, and it's just not believable. That's not the case here. I'm excited for where it's going to go.
