"It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia": Charlie Day Goes America All Over Everybody's Ass [VIDEO]
With season 14 set to premiere on Wednesday, September 25, FXX's It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia is now tied with ABC's The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet as the longest-running live-action comedy series. Now that's a title Mac (Rob McElhenney), Dennis (Glenn Howerton), Charlie (Charlie Day), Dee (Kaitlin Olson), and Frank (Danny DeVito) would be more than happy to hang behind the bar – and one they're expected to hold on their vey own very soon. Along with that, they're coming off one helluva' quality 13th season – considered by fans and critics to be one of its best. Safe to say things are pretty good for The Gang from Paddy's Pub. Mac's real-world alter-ego McElhenney even got to play catch with Chase Utley (we're serious – take a look) and nearly got into a "beef" with Steve Carell and The Office over "territory rights" – before building a bridge of love and friendship between both shows (more on that here and here).
So in other words?
"It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" is Back in Business!
Even in the middle of a very cool charity initiative with Omaze and thumbing the eye of internet spoiler culture (turst us, we'll explain below), Day took a moment to serenade the United States of America and celebrate The Fourth of July in as "Charlie" a way as possible:
"I'm gonna rise up, I'm gonna kick a little ass, Gonna kick some ass in the USA, Gonna climb a mountain, Gonna sew a flag, Gonna fly on an Eagle, I'm gonna kick some butt, I'm gonna drive a big truck, I'm gonna rule this world, Gonna kick some ass, Gonna rise up, Kick a little ass, ROCK, FLAG AND EAGLE!"
For those of you who are It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia fans, you know where that song's from – but for the uninitiated, the song first made its debut in the ninth episode of the second season, 2006's "Charlie Goes America All Over Everybody's Ass" (written by McElhenney and Day, directed by Dan Attias). In the episode, Charlie views Dennis's bar smoking ban as an affront to his rights as an American and… well… he reacts about as well as you'd expect:
The Gang from Paddy's Pub has teamed up with Omaze for a contest where one lucky fan and a friend will visit the set in Los Angeles, possibly be a background extra in a scene, and then share a toast with the cast on the bar set. While no donation or payment is necessary to enter or win, your monies will go to a very worthy, Paddy's Pub-approved cause: The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp, which offers medically-supervised summer camps and programs free of charge to children with serious illnesses and their families throughout the Northeast (more below).
Here's a look at what you and a friend will win – and for more information, rules, and how to enter, click here:
● Be a featured background extra in an episode of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia (if available, and winner only).
● Share a toast with The Gang on the set of Paddy's Pub.
● Roundtrip airline flight to/from Los Angeles and 4-star hotel stay.
● Deadline to enter is July 9, 2019, at 11:59 p.m. PT / 2:59 a.m. ET.
We hope you can read, because we've got news. The Always Sunny gang has added a new member: YOU. What's up, b*tches! You and a friend will join the cast on set to finally find out why it's always sunny in Philadelphia (they film in LA!)—and be featured in the background as an extra. You'll film while your friend cheers you on, maybe work on your dance/karate moves and be part of the funniest show on TV for 13 seasons and counting. Then to celebrate, you'll share a toast with the gang on the infamous Paddy's Pub set. Cheers! Flights and hotel included. No donation or payment is necessary to enter or win this sweepstakes.
Founded in 1988 by Paul Newman, The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp is dedicated to providing "a different kind of healing" to more than 20,000 seriously ill children and their families throughout the Northeast, free of charge, annually. For many participants, they provide multiple Camp experiences throughout the year at the camp facility in Connecticut, in more than 40 hospitals and clinics, and through other regional outreach activities across the Northeast and mid-Atlantic region. It's a community that celebrates the fun, friendship and spirit of childhood, where every kid can "raise a little hell."
Developed by McElhenney and Howerton, and written/executive produced by McElhenney, Howerton, and Day, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia was FX's first comedy hit before moving over to FXX – a fact that FX CEO John Landgraf does not take lightly when he explained at the Television Critics Association (TCA) why the series has been so successful for so long – even after all this time: "It was the fist successful deconstruction and reconstruction of a sitcom," praising the leads as "five really hilarious degenerates who are most active schemers" as well as the main reason for the show's success – while also acknowledging the various "social issues" that the series addressed so effectively in the past.
With the show back in production, that means scripts are being written – which makes this time ripe for spoilers. Of course, "The Spoiler Game" gets a whole lot easier when McElhenney posts on social media an image of Day tapping away on an upcomign scene. If you zoom in close enough, it becomes pretty clear it's not Dolph Lundgren's super-powered nose that Day's writing about…
Charlie's leaving?!? Dennis and Mac are in love?!?
Wow! I can't be-… hold on. Keep reading. "Frank" has the biggest revelation of them all:
I can't believe you zoomed in to see what was on this screen and actually think that we'd give away anything we're doing this season. Don't you have better things to do? Just kidding. Thanks for caring. Happy Fourth of July.
Gotta' admit – they have a point. Which is why your friends at Bleeding Cool are more than happy to do the zooming and squinting for you as we pick over ever single fiber of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia news possible.
Though wouldn't it be funny if it turned out to be true, and they got us with a double-swerve. Wild card!
