a severely overlooked aspect of the gang's dynamic is that charlie and dennis were best friends long before the start of the first season. there are multiple instances of the rest of the gang calling charlie their (collective) best friend, but charlie exclusively refers to dennis as his best friend. on the other hand, dennis only ever says that charlie is his friend up until the moment charlie refers to mac as his best friend something that evidently has not been the case previously, as evidenced by mac's reaction which of course prompts him to compete against mac. stacy remembers the two of them being close, to the point where she assumes that they must be a couple, and acts disbelieving when they deny this.

mac and charlie have been friends for the longest. dennis and mac have lived together for years. but charlie and dennis have considered each other best friends since they were in their teens.

#iasip #it's always sunny in philadelphia #charden #dennis reynolds #charlie kelly #absolutely not meant to be a sleight @ ch/ar//mac their friendship is important to me too <3 #ive struggled with how to word this for like. a few weeks because i dont want to come off like im pitting ships against each other #obviously ma/c//den end up getting closer in seasons 4 & 5 too but it seems like neither of them were super close to mac previously #arguably been retconned since but its interesting to revisit early seasons to see #i made this compilation a little while ago now but i believe the only other times 'best friend' was used in the first four seasons was #in gun fever when dee calls charlie their best friend in the hospital waiting room #and in mac is a serial killer when dennis tells frank hes not going to carve up their best friend (mac)#ada speaks #ada's videos #den still loves charlie but charlie's got that grudge for what he did sleeping with the waitress #and yet still calls dennis his best friend even after that #i think its funny charlie apparently makes the decision to call mac his bestie without telling either of them until that very moment #and dennis is IMMEDIATELY hurt lol
