It's never a dull moment with The Gang on It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. The popular dark-comedy series follows a group of five sociopathic friends who ostensibly operate a run-down dive bar known as Paddy's Pub. When they're not slacking off on their duties, they're often getting into all sorts of misadventures and antics as they attempt to scheme, plot, and sabotage their way through life. The series has been going on for 15 seasons, with at least three more on the way.
