#ptsdee. the gang finds a dumpster baby. sweet dee gets audited.

[clodiuspulcher]

you can probably draw a straight line from ancient Roman comedy to any modern sitcom such that the latter can be shown to have much more in common with immediate predecessors than the ancient archetypes BUT It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia is so interested in the interplay between tragedy and comedy and the extent to which comedy relies on the tropes and tools of tragedy and uses that interaction AS A SOURCE OF HUMOR that I HONESTLY see it as more like Plautus than Anything Else in its lineage

@ rcg write more sunny episodes yourself per season cowards

TRUE! episodes written by rcg go like this:

rob/charlie: amazing, hilarious, fucking iconic

charlie: funny and chaotic

glenn: fucking WOKE and so heavily satiric that theyre also funny as fuck

rob/glenn: mild moves get made

rcg: huge moves get made

frankly, hiring women to write over half the eps covers the woke & iconic parts. but i love rcg and want their thoughts lasered into my brain again to strengthen our telepathic connection to each other
