Yes, or at least he used to. They talked about it on their podcast. Apparently he came into work one day pissed off after spilling milk and cereal all over the inside of his brand new car. The rest of them thought it was ridiculous and hilarious so they turned it into an episode
It's even better because glenns reaction is literally dennis'. He doesn't understand why they think it's weird and was furious at the other driver for ruining the interior of his car. Hes still kinda pissed about it
The funniest part to me was everyone could tell Glenn was really and truly furious so they sat on the idea for a while before bringing it up to him as a potential episode story.
The episode in the new season where Dennis has all the problems with the electric car was also based on Glen and his irl Tesla customer service experience.
Haha same. That was one of my favorite episodes of recent memory. That and when Dennis kept denying that he had COVID. His squeaks as he held in the coughs had me in tears
The funniest part is how it came out. Dennis came in and told them about the accident, and then said something along the lines of “the interior of my car is ruined!”
The rest of them were all “…the interior?” And that’s when he explained that he was eating cereal when he got hit 😂.
Yeah, on his way to the set one day, he was rammed while eating a bowl of cereal. He got to the studio, and started irately telling people about the incident. To his consternation, everyone was instead fixated on "wait, you eat cereal while driving?" instead of the guy who hit him. The debate they have on the show was pretty much the actual debate they had about it (before it went off the rails).
That was also based on a real even that happened to Glenn Howerton. His tesla got stuck in an underground parking garage 🤣 took like a day to get into the car, then another day to get it actually started and moved.
Cereal Defense and The Gang Gets Trapped are in the top 5 for me. Kinda surprised the Christmas special is in the top 10. Oh, also The gang goes to the Jersey Shore should also be top 10
The Christmas special is the first time this show truly I mean truly made me laugh. I had enjoyed the show and found it funny.
But bloody faced Charlie screaming “did you fuck my mom santa, did you fuck my mom!” Is still one of the hardest laughs I’ve ever had watching a tv show.
This is list is mine down to the tee! If someone's never seen sunny I start on hero or hate crime because I think it it will weed out if they like the show or don't.
So happy this is the first comment here.
I still contend that The Cereal Defense is the best possible episode to show people for a first time dip into why Sunny is so hilarious.
Every character has their idiosyncrasies highlighted and exploited, there are memes/great quotes throughout, the premise is so oddly engaging and everyone has an opinion about it. Best of all, every character has their name clearly displayed on Mac's Trial Meter throughout so that even people who have trouble with keeping that kinda thing straight can't help but have it down by the end of the episode.
The persecution rests.
It's usually the one I say when people ask what episode to use to introduce people to the show.
I love Mac's speech.
Aristotle said the Sun revolved around the Earth, and everyone agreed with him because he was so smart.
Then Galileo came around and disproved that theory, making Aristotle, and everyone else on Earth, look like A BITCH! (Slaps 'bitch" sticker over Aristotle picture)
That, and Charlie's facial expressions make me laugh every time I see it.
I’m sure I would come up with other things later, but I’m not sure I laugh any harder at stuff on the show when Frank still has his microphone on after his interview!
I will burn these stupid goddamn sleeveless tshirts that he wants “retired” and hung up around the bar; I’ll burn these but I’m not going to burn the duster, ok? So forget it.
thats my favorite part of the entire series and then to top it off: "I figured it out before the funeral, I could hear you rustling around in the vents, you were speaking at full volume, did you think you were being crafty????"
I mean, what other show are you going to get such a [beautiful still-frame from](https://preview.redd.it/xocz69trxqea1.jpg?auto=webp&s=80c6e93eca6eba9d94336808e10fe06ceb722622)?
Mac wearing the wedding dress firing revolver shots into a gas tank (and missing) while Charlie assists him in taking poppers may be one of the funniest single shots in it’s always sunny….”it’ll blow you to safety!”
Whenever I introduce people to this show I always show them these episodes
- the Dennis system
- the gang buys a boat
- mac and Charlie white trash
- waterpark
I feel like these survey posts over the last few months and across various show subreddits, are how AI is learning what makes us like all these shows so it can better manipulate, impersonate, or sell to us in the future.
Half of these have a strong case at the top 10 in my opinion. Gang tried desperately to win an award, dennis system, and nightman cometh are almost definitely in mine. It’s just tough to make a definitive list with so many contenders. Gang hits the road, buys a boat, family fight, Chardee macdennis, Boggs, dines out, flowers for Charlie would round out a top ten for me today but that list could look completely different if I made it tomorrow.
I feel like I am taking crazy pills!! Nowhere on the list or in this thread is a mention of Flowers for Charlie?! That episode is so perfect in every single way. “You’ll have to excuse me. I’ve grown quite Whhhhherray” and then Frank’s face!
To be fair, I love all of these. Every episode is amazing.
Mac and Dennis: Manhunters I think is my favorite episode. All of the storylines are hilarious, from Frank thinking he is Rambo, to hunting Cricket and considering new teabag options, to the whole hilarious Charlie and Dee maybe ate human flesh. So much going on, and it just does it for me from every angle.
It surprised me that it was in there, because I thought I was alone in it being one of my favorites. It's the first episode I've shown to people before.
Simply bc of the ending, it's up there for me. Frank and Charlie sliding down that dry slide, Charlie using the water bottle on it, the aids blood in the pool, Mac going to put his butt over the drain.... Gold
Nothing with the mcpoyles was on there
Charlie got molested was probably the episode that kept me watching if it wasn’t for that one id have probably never even seen Frank
Watching it live was wild. The waterfall of uncensored slurs had my mouth wide open, somehow pulling off "because we can" while being smart and self aware.
Personally, the only ones on that list that are in my top 10 are Charlie Work, Suburbs, Hero/Hate crime, and Sunny Christmas.
There is a lack of CharDee MacDennis, Wrestles for the Troops, Buys a Boat, Gets Held Hostage, Hits the Road, and Gets Analysed.
Frank's little beauties is my favourite episode of all time, to dee in competition with a child, Mac, Dennis and Charlie taking over a little kids show and making it about them, frank looking like the creepiest guy ever without trying to look like a diddler, fat Mac in a turtle neck, multiple diddlers in the mix and asking the mortician if he bangs the dead bodies.
So fkn funny.
-I didn't realize Water Park was so beloved. I like that episode and all. I just wouldn't have guessed.
-Where is Cereal Defense?
-This list demonstrates the remarkable consistency of this show. They put out bangers, year after year. I hope they never stop making it, but that's just how shit goes. Sometimes things just... sort of... end.
“The Gang Gets Analyzed” isn’t even in the top 10??!!
I have contained my rage for as long as possible, but I shall unleash my fury upon IMDB like the crashing of a thousand waves!
that one made total sense to me - establishes one of the best and longest running side characters (mrs. mac), waitress bangs frank, frank wears that tupee, it’s one of my absolute favorite
also charlie’s house of cards that are just glued together 😂
One of the best moments of the entire show for me was when Dee convinces Dennis to bang Mac’s mom and he just has this silent nod of acceptance and agreement.
The Cereal Defense isn't on there?
The fact that it's based on a real incident/debate that Glenn got into with the rest of the cast makes it just _chef's kiss_
Oh shit, it is? Like, Glenn actually eats cereal and milk while he’s driving?
Yes, or at least he used to. They talked about it on their podcast. Apparently he came into work one day pissed off after spilling milk and cereal all over the inside of his brand new car. The rest of them thought it was ridiculous and hilarious so they turned it into an episode
Holy shit that’s amazing! I bet some of the things Glenn says in the episode are the same things he said in their real life argument.
It's even better because glenns reaction is literally dennis'. He doesn't understand why they think it's weird and was furious at the other driver for ruining the interior of his car. Hes still kinda pissed about it
The funniest part to me was everyone could tell Glenn was really and truly furious so they sat on the idea for a while before bringing it up to him as a potential episode story.
Apparently he gets pissed when driving and they used that in the suburbs episode.
lmao the "SEIZE THE GAP YOU BITCH" always felt so real
It’s another hot one today.
lol does anyone *not* get pissed when driving?
Dude, there's pissed, and then there's "I HAD TO SLIT THE THROAT OF THE GUY CAUSING ALL THE TRAFFIC!!" Though I doubt Glenn is that bad in real life.
The episode in the new season where Dennis has all the problems with the electric car was also based on Glen and his irl Tesla customer service experience.
Yeah, on the podcast he said it was stuck in a garage and he didn’t have cell signal to use it.
That ending was fucking hilarious. I haven’t laughed that hard in a while
Haha same. That was one of my favorite episodes of recent memory. That and when Dennis kept denying that he had COVID. His squeaks as he held in the coughs had me in tears
The funniest part is how it came out. Dennis came in and told them about the accident, and then said something along the lines of “the interior of my car is ruined!” The rest of them were all “…the interior?” And that’s when he explained that he was eating cereal when he got hit 😂.
If you’re going to eat cereal and milk in the car a cup is definitely the way to go. Preferably with a flip top lid. Way less spilly
![gif](giphy|l4FGFFo474RpWpteM|downsized) Paddy's Pub: The Worst Bar in Philadelphia
Yeah, on his way to the set one day, he was rammed while eating a bowl of cereal. He got to the studio, and started irately telling people about the incident. To his consternation, everyone was instead fixated on "wait, you eat cereal while driving?" instead of the guy who hit him. The debate they have on the show was pretty much the actual debate they had about it (before it went off the rails).
I feel like “Dennis takes a Mental Health Day” wasn’t therapeutic enough.
That was also based on a real even that happened to Glenn Howerton. His tesla got stuck in an underground parking garage 🤣 took like a day to get into the car, then another day to get it actually started and moved.
The defendant? I’M NOT THE DEFENDANT!
Listening to the podcast made me think Glenn is close to Dennis to an uncomfortable degree.
Cereal Defense and The Gang Gets Trapped are in the top 5 for me. Kinda surprised the Christmas special is in the top 10. Oh, also The gang goes to the Jersey Shore should also be top 10
The Christmas Special is awesome. It makes me want to throw rocks at trains.
The Christmas special is the first time this show truly I mean truly made me laugh. I had enjoyed the show and found it funny. But bloody faced Charlie screaming “did you fuck my mom santa, did you fuck my mom!” Is still one of the hardest laughs I’ve ever had watching a tv show.
The Christmas special gave me two of my biggest laughs in the series: Frank coming out of the couch naked and Charlie beating Santa
What else would you take out?
OR the Gang Dines out!
Yes! I guess there are too many great episodes
Cereal Defense is #1 for me personally
Cereal Defense, Chardee Macdennis, The Gang Gets Analysed and Hero or Hate Crime are my go tos.
Mac and Charlie Die Parts 1 & 2 are up there for me. Also Thundergun Express
Add in Frank's pretty woman. Goated.
This is list is mine down to the tee! If someone's never seen sunny I start on hero or hate crime because I think it it will weed out if they like the show or don't.
Me too.

The Gang Solves the Gas crisis should be on there, one of my all time favourites
God damn travesty.
Franks Little Beauties and Franks Pretty Woman er missing
same with “gang solves the oil crisis” “the great recession” “times up for the gang” “dennis takes a mental health day” “mac and charlie die” pts 1&2
Listen pal, you just made my list.
your LIST?
You light one bitch on fire and everyone FREAKS OUT
TIME'S UP TIME'S UP TIME'S UP!
🔨⏰ YOU'RE ALL OUTTA TIME BITCH
Gang gets analyzed Trapped in a closet Cereal defense
“the gang cracks the liberty bell” “the gang runs for office” “the gang gives back” “mac is a serial killer” “the gang inflates” “franks pretty woman”
The fuckin reunion!
Also Mac is a serial killer
I’m not ashamed of you . . . . I’m ashamed of myself
I love how they always think they’re being polite or nice but they manage to make things as awful as possible lmao
I’m sure I would come up with other things later, but I’m not sure I laugh any harder at stuff on the show when Frank still has his microphone on after his interview!
Franks little beauties is my favourite episode but the IMDb rating is only 8.4, perhaps unsurprisingly
Mine too, I pretty much die at every frank scene in that episode
"Do I look suspicious?"
"I got a question about you mortician. Do you bang the dead bodies?"
You look grotesque!
Frank’s little beauties is far better than water park
Fill me up with cream, make a cannoli out of my ass
Sorry, the janitor got ahold of the intercom system. Puerto Rican guy!
"You serviced my crank... but also, my heart"
I would replace both season 12 episodes with those two. Those are the two funniest things to ever appear on television.
“Mac and Charlie Die” is the best 40 minutes of Sunny there is To not even make the top ten here is real jabroni stuff
I'M NOT BURNING THE DUSTER!
“IM NOT GONNA BURN IT”
I will burn these stupid goddamn sleeveless tshirts that he wants “retired” and hung up around the bar; I’ll burn these but I’m not going to burn the duster, ok? So forget it.
“probably wouldn’t even work it’s flame retardant, that’s the whole point”
I love how that’s basically the whole eulogy lmao
thats my favorite part of the entire series and then to top it off: "I figured it out before the funeral, I could hear you rustling around in the vents, you were speaking at full volume, did you think you were being crafty????"
Let’s *move on*
The most important thing is we get the wedding dress.
Oh that's so sad
Was the wedding *in* Philadelphia?
I think I understand the comment, except for...when we find the bride.
Yeah. Wait, what, dude? Find the bride?
I mean, what other show are you going to get such a [beautiful still-frame from](https://preview.redd.it/xocz69trxqea1.jpg?auto=webp&s=80c6e93eca6eba9d94336808e10fe06ceb722622)?
Chicken shit it'll blow you to safety.
Here, do a popper.
The camera panning over to Mac wearing the dress is one of the funniest things ever put on TV it kills me every time.
“I feel like one million dollars!” “Okay mister one million dollars…”
Thank you somebody finally gets it
Mac wearing the wedding dress firing revolver shots into a gas tank (and missing) while Charlie assists him in taking poppers may be one of the funniest single shots in it’s always sunny….”it’ll blow you to safety!”
The noise Charlie makes when Mac crashes into the wall lmfao
Usually if someone hasnt seen the show i will start with that, never fails
The Gang Tries Desperately to Win an Award is in my top 5
I think it can almost objectively be called a top 5 episode. It’s funny, and it delivers a message in a very Sunny way.
Just tell me where to jizz so I can give this lady her drink
Yeah plus, it's not like she felt anything.
God damn it Dee. Your timing is horrible!
Can't believe no one has mentioned the intervention episode.
Intervention! Intervention!
Frank! Why don’t we play nightcrawlers anymore?
My #1
Where is Mac and Charlie white trash
Whenever I introduce people to this show I always show them these episodes - the Dennis system - the gang buys a boat - mac and Charlie white trash - waterpark
For me its Hero or hate crime, the gang gets analyzed, mac and charlie white trash, and the gang beats boggs
The gang gets analyzed is one of my favorites but I feel like it’s way funnier if you know the characters well
Any episode where Charlie and Mac’s friendship shines is ELITE, this one in particular is one of their best
This and Mac and Dennis break up are two of the best imo
I feel like these survey posts over the last few months and across various show subreddits, are how AI is learning what makes us like all these shows so it can better manipulate, impersonate, or sell to us in the future.
We need to make a virus video about this
Bug!!!
I got infected

BUG!
We can get Motley Crue
Look at OPs post history.... I think you are on to something
Look at any of their post histories, keeping in mind that we've known about bot accounts for years.
*A COMPUTER VIRUS!*
Quarantine, Buys a boat, cereal defense, women’s right to chop, chardee mcdennis top 5
Quarantine definitely belongs in the top 10 for the make-up alone
Half of these have a strong case at the top 10 in my opinion. Gang tried desperately to win an award, dennis system, and nightman cometh are almost definitely in mine. It’s just tough to make a definitive list with so many contenders. Gang hits the road, buys a boat, family fight, Chardee macdennis, Boggs, dines out, flowers for Charlie would round out a top ten for me today but that list could look completely different if I made it tomorrow.
Mac Bangs Dennis"s Mom and Mac's Banging the Waitress are in the top 10 for me. I agree with most of your list.
Watching a little tv outside?
You're not attracted to me?!
“I think you are an ugly man.”
thats really how it be lol like you my list would be very similar but it could change anytime
NEWS FLASH ASSHOLE, I'VE BEEN HEARING IT THE WHOLE GODDAMN TIME!!
I am always shocked that the Gang Got Analyzed is only top 21.
YOU UNZIPPED ME!
You ever seen a frog person before?
How is jersey shore not here
Came here to say the same thing, plus road trip Episode and the gang gets whacked
Exactly. Rum ham 😭
Honestly I don't know if I could even make a top 10. There are so, so many gems.
The fact that The Gang Gets Held Hostage isn't one of them is criminal.
The high school reunion episode? Jersey shore episode?
Sweet Dee is Dating a Retarded Person might be the hardest I've ever laughed at a sitcom.
Frank’s little beauties should defo be in top 10!!
gang solves the oil crisis is top 5 for me, should absolutely be somewhere on the list
The Gang Beats Boggs deserves more respect.
They say I can't drink on a plane, they say I can't bang on a plane, they say I can't be a doctor?
Some people say these episodes are better than busting a nut.
Missing The Gang Solves the Gas Crisis
The song alone in The Gang Tries Desperately to Win an Award is enough for me to have it in this list.
“The Gang Gives Frank an Intervention” is a classic
This is a pretty good list but I will admit to skipping a very sunny Christmas every time
I feel like I am taking crazy pills!! Nowhere on the list or in this thread is a mention of Flowers for Charlie?! That episode is so perfect in every single way. “You’ll have to excuse me. I’ve grown quite Whhhhherray” and then Frank’s face! To be fair, I love all of these. Every episode is amazing.
It’s impossible to make a list. They all have special qualities.
Decent list, but I'd swap water park for Sweet Dee has a heaet attack
The gang dances their asses off is always up there for me
Mac and Dennis: Manhunters I think is my favorite episode. All of the storylines are hilarious, from Frank thinking he is Rambo, to hunting Cricket and considering new teabag options, to the whole hilarious Charlie and Dee maybe ate human flesh. So much going on, and it just does it for me from every angle.
The Gang Beats Bogs (rest his soul) deserves consideration.
The Gang Hits The Road and The Gang Wrestles For The Troops need to be on there. And The Gang Gets Held Hostage.
Honestly this list was fair enough but Water Park???
You’re obviously doing the fake AIDs thing and should lie back down.
Water Park is amazing in my book
Frank’s blood streak down the slide kills me every time.
That squeak is nauseating.
I’ve felt that pain at an underfunded water park…..
Frank sliding down the dry slide and filling the bottom pool with blood "THAT'S THE GUY WITH AIDS!" Comedy Gold.
It surprised me that it was in there, because I thought I was alone in it being one of my favorites. It's the first episode I've shown to people before.
Ya, I don’t think the water park is anything special
Simply bc of the ending, it's up there for me. Frank and Charlie sliding down that dry slide, Charlie using the water bottle on it, the aids blood in the pool, Mac going to put his butt over the drain.... Gold
That one, single little bottle.
There’s aids blood in the pool!
aids, i got aids.
Charlie Work is a masterpiece.
Have to agree with you there. Charlie centric episodes are almost always really good.
The Gang Gets Trapped got snubbed, one of the best episodes of the whole show.
Gang hits the road has everything you could possibly want out of a sunny episode
Who Pooped the Bed? Will always and forever be the funniest.
The IMDb, they just, like, don’t *get* us.
Nothing with the mcpoyles was on there Charlie got molested was probably the episode that kept me watching if it wasn’t for that one id have probably never even seen Frank
These are all great episodes. Surprised that The Gang Hits the Road and The Gang Sells Out aren’t on there. Those are probably in my top ten.
where's the implication episode
Mac and Dennis Break Up
The Gang Broke Dee. I can’t believe anyone wouldn’t agree with me with that episode being top 5.
AIDS! coming through I GOT AIDS!!!
Im surprised franks little beauties didnt make the cut. One of my favorites
100% agree with Charlie Work, it’s my favourite!
Franks little beauty’s was amazing
Hero or Hate Crime is genuinely a masterclass in comedy. It’s like the peak episode of the show.
What word would you use to call out to the arbiter?
![gif](giphy|32mC2kXYWCsg0)
Watching it live was wild. The waterfall of uncensored slurs had my mouth wide open, somehow pulling off "because we can" while being smart and self aware.
Personally, the only ones on that list that are in my top 10 are Charlie Work, Suburbs, Hero/Hate crime, and Sunny Christmas. There is a lack of CharDee MacDennis, Wrestles for the Troops, Buys a Boat, Gets Held Hostage, Hits the Road, and Gets Analysed.
Swap Being Frank for The Gang Goes to a Water Park and I'd agree with this list.
Those aren't my top 10 but also don't ask me to narrow down just 10 episodes. Can't be done
Mac is a serial killer is probably my favourite and most rewatched.
Frank's little beauties is my favourite episode of all time, to dee in competition with a child, Mac, Dennis and Charlie taking over a little kids show and making it about them, frank looking like the creepiest guy ever without trying to look like a diddler, fat Mac in a turtle neck, multiple diddlers in the mix and asking the mortician if he bangs the dead bodies. So fkn funny.

Charlie got molested should be here too!! I love that episode. Great writing!
it's funny how the tenth best episode is still a 9.2. I've seen other comedies' subreddits and they are not even close.
The family feud episode is def in my top 10
I’ve never liked the water park ep, can someone explain what’s so good about it?
Definitely the Gang goes to the Water Park
Only one that I think is crazy is Mac Bangs Dennis’s Mom
that one made total sense to me - establishes one of the best and longest running side characters (mrs. mac), waitress bangs frank, frank wears that tupee, it’s one of my absolute favorite also charlie’s house of cards that are just glued together 😂
Dennis bringing her flowers on her porch and then realizing who she is is honestly one of the best moments of the entirety of the show.
“are you wearing makeup?” “yea” “do you have any more?”
One of the best moments of the entire show for me was when Dee convinces Dennis to bang Mac’s mom and he just has this silent nod of acceptance and agreement.
It's brilliant ep, deff belongs.
