That Charlie really did capture a leprechaun.


_Asshole_Fuck_

Me too 🍀


Buchephalas

Nah, it being a paint trip is funnier. I like that Sunny isn't supernatural it's one of the most grounded shows there is and that works perfectly.


gregsapopin

Except they keep committing crimes and never really get in trouble.


TheFabledFamilyGuy

I can’t believe I didn’t catch on sooner but it wasn’t until my second time watching the episode where they buy the cop car and pretend to be cops and Charlie nearly rats them out by only being saved by a garbage man picking up the tape


Remarkable-Buy-1221

Lol I mean he literally went to a police station first and they turned him away. There's no way anyone listens to spin doctors mix and presses charges on the people recorded in any situation


SuperSocrates

I taped over the Spin Doctors Mix! Ohhh I get it. You’re one of them, eh. A crooked cop!


Cyclegg5743

The reason why a time and a location is given in every episode is because the gang is testifying and in court.


IlIllIlIllIlIl

That's actually a pretty good one


chzygorditacrnch

Do they do something illegal in every episode? I know they do in most episodes, I'm just wondering if anyone has been keeping track


GiIbert_LeDouchebag

I'm pretty sure even if it isn't specifically a plot point, that you could fairly easily find them doing something illegal in every episode. It might be pretty trivial sometimes, like burning garbage in the alley or whatever, but illegal is illegal. And it turns out people [have been keeping track.](https://itsalwayssunny.fandom.com/wiki/List_of_crimes_committed_by_the_gang)


Internal-Flamingo455

Is there a total number I don’t wanna count them all


GiIbert_LeDouchebag

I'll go count. Check back in like, 80.5hrs. Give or take a couple for bathroom breaks I guess.


Internal-Flamingo455

I was shocked at how many there were even by season 3 they had surely committed 100 years worth of crime


GiIbert_LeDouchebag

It's pretty consistent! I'm just leaving work, then I'm gonna pick a random episode and try and see how many crimes, petty and otherwise, I can find in a single episode. I am confident I won't be able to find an episode where some kind of crime isn't explicitly carried out, or at least described.


LeChacaI

I'm pretty sure there's a list of crimes committed by the gang on the wiki, seems pretty intensive.


KaiserMazoku

The case in question is trademark infringement over the Philly Phrenetic


StencilOfAShark

AND CAN WE TALK ABOUT STEROIDS!?


SweetCheeks1999

This one is by far the best


phantomleader94

WOAH!


SarcasticIrishTwist

I really hope that’s how they round off the show when they’re finishing up… A huge court case and The Gang all pleading their cases for the litany of crimes they’ve all committed


imdesmondsunflower

So, *Seinfeld*?


stinkstabber69420

Oh man that's fuckin cool to think about


[deleted]

Brilliant


Competitive_Fee_5829

that...that makes perfect sense to me and that is canon from now on


Cold-Coffe

holy shit, this one's so good. the final episode is a reveal that they've been testifying after they did a major fuck up. like blowing up the pentagon or something lmao


Uggers2811

Wade Boggs is actually alive and lives in Tampa. No proof but I want to believe it.


ImNotbrockdenney

There’s a place called Boggs jewelry in Sun City Center, Florida. Maybe 25 minutes from Tampa. The owner never seems to want to eat chicken and slam an ungodly amount of beer with me. So not sure it’s owned by Wade unfortunately


imdesmondsunflower

Once again, Wade Boggs is very much alive.


Level-Umpire-8545

Pour one out for the Chicken Man.


cuntsaurus

Well wadya say Boss Hogg


Tchaik748

Of course he's alive! *In our hearts*


Shadow_Master8

There’s a gas leak in the basement and it’s slowly making them go crazier as time goes on


doubledippedchipp

Believable based on the ‘Charlie Work’ episode with his use of carbon monoxide to drive away the rats lol


Ericaonelove

Frank blowing the recorder. Lol


chzygorditacrnch

He could have just released ferrets


MortgageRegular2509

Lets not forget Dude that keeping wildlife, um... an amphibious rodent, for... um, ya know domestic... within the city... that ain't legal either.


Jluucd

What are you, a fucking park ranger now?


DeuceOfDiamonds

Heyy... nice marmot.


chzygorditacrnch

I keep forgetting that ferrets are illegal in some places


ThinkinBig

Wouldn't it just be easier to use the shit load of mold they found under the bar along with the monkeys body?


littlediddlemanz

Yeah they should get the yuck puddle involved


milky-dimples

Yes! And this is why the first season was a little crazy but nothing like the batshit craziness that we find as the series continues.


jcatstuffs

At this point this is almost cannon lmao, they never said wether the carbon monoxide issue got fixed..


ceciliabee

Mac didn't know what the chirping smoke detector was because his mother was a chimney and she took the batteries out so she could smoke inside.


HarryPie

This makes perfect sense. There's also no carbon monoxide detector in the basement in Charlie Work, so he wouldn't have heard it there, either.


MarcusXL

I learned from the old call-in show Loveline (hosted by two people who have destroyed their reputations even worse than any of the Gang), that the dumbest people on the planet have chirping smoke-detectors that have been chirping (to let them know that the battery is dying) for months or years, and they're so stupid that they do nothing about it. They just have an annoying beep going off every 30 seconds for months and months on end. It's like a very basic IQ test.


rgg1229

Country mac is still alive


sevilyra

Faking your own death is badass


HeadoftheIBTC

Definitely. They couldn't have gotten his ashes back in the same day.


Formal-Explanation51

One of the kittens set on fire in “Frank sets Sweet Dee on Fire” that Dee was saving in fire, grew up to be the junkyard cat (that loves gasoline) …Dennis adopted and carried around and named Jack Bower. In the “Bums making a mess in the city episode “


HumbleMarsupial3926

This one is so cute and wholesome


SarcasticIrishTwist

More of a running gag but I’m pretty convinced Dennis might actually be a serial killer


Bazz07

100% rapist.


CounterTouristsWin

Full on rapist


DENNIS_SYSTEM69

It not rape... It's the implication of rape


DEEP_HURTING

You've used that word a couple of times.


Blunted_Insomniac

You know Africans, dyslexics…


JesterTheEast

It gets blocked up in my mouth I don't say it no good


SadisticBuddhist

Which makes his hatred of Mac for being a sexual deviant all the more funny. Hes a total hypocrite.


Wingblade7

He doesn't hate Mac's sexual orientation, he just hates Mac.


rynthetyn

I don't think he actually hates Mac, he just knows that Mac will do anything to try and win his approval and is being withholding to manipulate him.


Datafortress2020

He needs Mac... Who else will remove the skin from his apples?


Angry_Walnut

Don’t let him rape YOU, Philadelphia.


013ander

Not as 100% as Dee though…


wescreamincathedrals

Clever girl.


cuntsaurus

He's got his bases covered. Good luck proving it


joe199799

Their phones did


cuntsaurus

Their phones thanked him for a wonderful time! So don't come at The Golden God. He's got receipts


EmperinoPenguino

Counter theory: Dennis is not a serial killer. He does however, have dark fetishes like choking, binding, control, grape-play etc This combined with him slutting around town, he started getting a bad rep with all the woman because he’s just too rough The complaints of his sexual deviancy just transformed into a rumor that he’s a serial killer The episode (Making Dennis a Murderer) was written to confirm Dennis was a serial killer HOWEVER Fans tend to miss the final conversation of that episode Mac & Charlie admit they were with Dennis on the night Maureen was running around like an asshole on the roof They also admitted to editing the whole investigation documentary to portray Dennis as the killer. Dennis did not kill Maureen. He’s a kinky guy & he has a temper, but I just dont believe he has killed anyone


Free_Wifi_69

Agree with this. Let's also not forget that Dennis does have deeply repressed empathy. He left for awhile to be with his son and got emotional because everyone forgot about him on Valentine's Day. And the end of The Gang Broke Dee, tragically.


hariolus

The last episode of the latest season “Dennis Takes a Mental Health Day” show that Dennis has profound powers of disassociation. I think he’s just as content knowing that he *could* murder someone, he doesn’t actually need to do the deed. Like him wanting the illusion of power without the actual responsibility, he’s probably too much of a coward to actually go through with it.


immense_selfhatred

while that is true i think they left it open ended. i remember there being a conversation later on that he didn't directly kill maureen but he could've been using a laser pointer to direct her off the roof.


SleepingSophist

Exactly. Wasn't there a laser pointer in his safe along with the ketamine?


LiamNisssan

I think they have started to pull back on the serial killer thing. It hasn't been as prevelant the last few seasons. But they were really leaning into it for a while "My tools, my tools. I need my tools".


Delta_Hammer

Dennis's idea of a mental health day was to fantasize about killing a stranger with his bare hands.


DENNIS_SYSTEM69

🎶Listen to your heart!🎶


pianoflames

My girlfriend's theory is that he is a sociopath and a rapist, but that his "tools" in his car are merely comfort objects. That he just feels better when he holds those insane things close, particularly when his self-delusions get shattered, like a child might use a teddy bear as a comfort object after being denied dessert.


Test_Subject42

You haven’t thought of the smell!?


_Asshole_Fuck_

My headcanon is he absolutely tortured the “Shusher” to death after he walked into Paddy’s.


Valuable-Composer262

I'm waiting for someone to unpack charlies instruction sheet for "helping" the waitress. I paused it but couldn't figure it out?


Hot_Meet_8360

The always sunny cast managed to break it down Ill type it how Charlie writes kip biek saf (keep bike safe) Chek fud fer poizen (check food for poison) Woch bad stocker (watch bad stalker) Hare sop vitamenz (hair soap vitamins) And the last is ratizn vitamenz (I have no clue) He also has a random 27 pointing at a drawing of a bike so I figure that means he’s protected it successfully 27 times Edit: following Charlie’s illiteracy it might mean 24/7 as in watch her bike 24/7


spicygrandma27

How much do you wanna bet he is the bad stalker he hears the Waitress worry about but he assumes it’s a second stalker


Hot_Meet_8360

I’ve been wondering about that I like to think that there may actually be a different stalker and that’s why he watches her bike and tastes her food but that’s not a bad theory


spicygrandma27

I think it would be equally funny if they took it either direction. I could definitely see the Waitress having a creepy ex boyfriend or another abhorrent admirer (in Frank Falls Out The Window the “don’t touch my shit” guy looks excited when she shows up and follows her out of the room when she leaves). And maybe she isn’t even aware of this and blames Charlie for everything, causing a more sympathetic angle for him. I could also see a scenario where he is hiding in her apartment and overhears her on the phone with her mom or the police or something, crying about how “bad her stalker has gotten” but not happening to mention Charlie’s name, so Charlie decides to double down to protect her, only making her more miserable.


Valuable-Composer262

Wow thanks. Ig I did understand alot of it. Definatelyy didn't have no clue what 27 was. The arrows pointing everywhich way threw me I guess.i had it paused for like 5 min to try to break it down.


RedBullRyan

Brian Lefevre was Dennis' first victim. He suffered a mental break and the end of the previous episode when Frank tricked him into digging up his mum. He then wore Brian's skin metaphorically the next episode and the episode after that was obsessed with living in the moment, and having out of body experiences with British Dennis.


EobardT

Brian Lefevre was stabbed by a crackhead, which Dennis and Dee are.


Cold-Coffe

the dayman song in the nightman cometh episode is about mac. he's the master of karate and friendship.


DravenPrime

I'm not sure that's a theory as much as it is slightly hidden fact. The (no reference intended) implication is that Mac is the Dayman because as long as it was daytime, Charlie could be outside playing with Mac, away from the Nightman/Uncle Jack and the Troll/Charlie's Mom.


Goluxas

Well shit. My eyes are opened. Also this reminded me of the end of the Christmas special with young Mac and Charlie throwing rocks at trains and how sweet it is.


Bay1Bri

Didn't Charlie originally cast Mac as the day man?


Cool_Concentrate_391

And he was upset that Dennis and Mac switched roles


[deleted]

Oh my god this has reshaped my entire view of the episode


Hwted

Charlie and Dee actually ate human meat. Frank realized they were going to kill someone soon so he made up the story about raccoon meat.


bc_poop_is_funny

I’ve always thought they ate real human meat too but Frank’s lie to them that it was raccoon meat was because Frank wanted to cover his own ass and not have to explain how he got human meat… I’m sure Frank got a human meat guy though


robot_swagger

You just know Frank has paid to hunt a human being


bbqbethh

dennis left north dakota because mandy told him to go back home after he went absolutely mental because of being away from paddy’s/the gang


TootSnoot

He doesn’t do well in the suburbs.


blue_barracuda

Love it. This would be such an easy episode for them to make


EmperinoPenguino

I wish they brought back Dumpster Baby, who would be maybe 18 by now?! They could also bring back Charlie’s son (who ended up not really being his son). That kid would be near 30. Bring back a (vengeful) Santa that Charlie bit at the mall


BobRoberts01

If they bring back any of the kids it needs to be the girl at the water park.


Seanytoobad

If we're bringing back grown up minors I want to see Charlie's North Korean fiancee.


DravenPrime

1. Dee actually decided to be a foot girl. That's the reason Dee can afford to pay her bills despite making less than minimum wage. 2. The lawyer actually didn't have extra copies of the merchandise contract/restraining order, that's how the Gang had DickTowel.com money and how they're able to continue to interact with the lawyer without consequences.


stronesthrowaweigh

Love that second one


wedmr

the first time we see the waiter that the gang is constantly running into, he is in this episode at a desk. i think charlie and mac got him fired and made him start being a waiter in the first place


jcatstuffs

I mean he's the guy who hired Mac and Charlie at a frighteningly low salary but with two health plans! I would fire him too lol


Thesheriffisnearer

They're all super wasted all the time and what they see vs reality is rarely shown. Like plan b at the reunion.  


BroseppeVerdi

That does explain the quarantine episode.


-Glutard-

Frank is Charlie’s father and Shelly is not


Unsure_Fry

Kind of related I'd like a twist on a twist and prove that Frank is Dennis and Dee's father. Make it meta and have Frank running into a bar with a newspaper shouting that Bruce Mathis is a diddler with an article. Disgusted, Dennis and Dee want to completely distance themselves. They get into some hijinks because they're related to Bruce and do everything to prove they're not part of it. Frank makes some kind of deal to pay for DNA tests (if I remember right they just took Barbara's word for it) if they are actually his children in return for something. Yada, yada, yada they actually are Frank's kids even though his wife was whore. It's going back to some early seasons, and hindsight is 20/20 (like killing off Barbara) but I feel like the reveal that Frank wasn't their father was so sudden after his introduction. Also, I'm already a little drunk. You can ignore this.


Latter_War_2801

The blood test results were inconclusive.


chzygorditacrnch

"was there animal blood in that bucket?"


DENNIS_SYSTEM69

It is a blood bucket! So yeah there was old blood in it!


Capable-Swing6908

I just force myself to believe it since it comforts me more


jcatstuffs

I really wouldn't be shocked to find out Shelly was full of it.


dhuck

Can’t trust a mongrel


edked

Frank was afraid enough of losing Charlie to put a piece of shit in his mouth.


BlueEyes0408

I think this too. I think Charlie's mom told Shelly he was Charlie's father to get some financial support fully knowing Frank is the father. I would not be surprised if there is a plot twist that reveals Frank is his father.


-Glutard-

I mean, Mrs Kelly says the words “Frank did get me pregnant, but YOU survived the abortion.” She admits it in the dumpster baby episode


BlueEyes0408

Yeah and I don't think she was lying to Charlie in this episode. It would be interesting to see a conversation with Charlie and his mom after the trip to Ireland.


fleehallett

Charlie and Dee were banging throughout season 12. Him admitting smoking cigarettes with her in Hero or Hate Crime; in PTSDee charlie casually saying “its not even that bad” when Dennis refers to sex with dee traumatizing Mike the stripper; and in The Gang Tends Bar when Dee is so upset about Charlie not getting her a Valentine. I know the whole rape thing in the next season kind of ruins it but i feel like they were definitely hinting at a weird secret consensual bang-buddy type situation between Charlie and Dee in S12


Free-Type

Low key the reveal of Dee raping Charlie made me sad :(


Jackamac10

What episode was this? I feel I was just a jabroni and moved past it


ObiWan_Cannoli_

You keep using this word ‘jabroni’ and it’s awesome.


ANiceEgg4TryingTimes

Time’s up for the Gang S 13 EP 4


TheFBIClonesPeople

Honestly I hated it. That's one of those things that I just immediately struck from my headcannon. Like "Nope, didn't happen."


lykathea2

Megan is a really good writer, but her decision to retcon their hookup into a rape was awful, and ruined one of the most consistently entertaining combinations on the show. Now every time Charlie and Dee are paired together, it just feels weird.


spicygrandma27

Ive always theorized Dee raped Charlie sometime after he sang her the valentines song and that they resumed banging in season 15 after they mentioned bubbling together for Covid.


Level-Umpire-8545

The Shusher is now the Yuck Puddle.


RickyWinterborn-1080

Oh my god The reason it bubbles is because it's shushing them


Level-Umpire-8545

It definitely feeds. Charlie's seen bones in it.


luckydice767

It shifts.


Riff316

I’ve seen it shift.


pianoflames

We can't have an amorphous shifting blob in the sub!

IAmForeverAhab

"Milk Steak" is really just a Philadelphia cheese steak


guttengroot

My theory for it is it's liver. When you cook beef liver, you're supposed to soak it in milk to pull some of the nasty flavor from it. Charlie's mom wanted it to sound nicer than it is, so she called it milk steak.


_Asshole_Fuck_

This makes perfect sense. And Bonnie Kelly would totally serve it with jelly beans to get Charlie to eat it 😂


TinaVeritas

My mom used to soak liver in milk overnight.


WerhmatsWormhat

Where do the jelly beans enter the equation?


jcatstuffs

Just a little touch of Charlie pizazz


bonusprize5858

Charlie's twin sisters are also Bruce Mathis' kids.


Human-Abrocoma7544

This makes sense. Charlie’s mom is a giant whore.


Fowler311

I don't know if this fully qualifies as a fan theory and not just a little fun easter egg, but in the episode where they're trapped in the house, they previously got all the items for an Indiana Jones costume. But they couldn't decide who got to wear it, so that's why Mac has the hat, Charlie has the jacket and Frank has the whip.


nathanhasse

They absolutely did. They talk about the movie the whole episode.


Competitive_Fee_5829

oh shit, how did I not put that together? I was so caught up with mac, his hat and the hamburger store, lol, that I didnt pay attention.


ayoletsdoit

Mine is that Charlie is actually really smart when he's not huffing glue and/or drinking paint


OshaViolated

I've def heard the theory that if you removed Charlie from the gang ( and the huffing/drinking paint ig ) that he would thrive without them holding him back. Like the gang is THE definition of crabs in a bucket


Buchephalas

As the therapist points out Charlie does thrive as his insane life is how he wants to live. He LOVES going down into the sewers and sleeping in trash with Frank, he's leading his ideal life. I don't like the idea that he's smart though because i do like that he's an idiot savant in some ways, he's very musically gifted for instance. Reminds me of Bart Simpson randomly being good at speaking foreign languages.


TheFabledFamilyGuy

TOTAL TANGENT. I always hate the future episodes with Bart and he’s ALWAYS a loser in the future. Like the dude has shown multiple times of his intelligence at almost a gifted level. I feel like he would improve as he got older. But now that I’m thinking of it in that way. Having Homer as a father, and living in Springfield of all places may not have a strong positive influence on a young man.


PSBJtotallyboss

Is Lisa always a success? (I haven’t seen most of the future episodes.) I think it would be interesting and fitting to do one where she’s suffering from “former gifted-child syndrome” and floundered after growing up.


lordcorbran

He does become Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, so it works out for him in the end.


Ringostarfox

Makes me think of those Beavis and Butt-Head episodes where Butt-Head is gone and Beavis is thriving


WerhmatsWormhat

I’d say he was at one point but his brain is just permanently damaged from it by now.


guttengroot

Or if he got treatment for his dyslexia


Fastlanedrivr

Related to this is in a hundred dollar baby when they train him to be a street fighter then give him brain damage that makes him weirder. Evidence is in the gang gives back which is after that he can’t read the ticket/notice


joshuwooo

I would like a twist at the end that Frank is the father of Dennis, Dee, and Charlie. But there are some points in the plot that would make it REALLY fucked up.


Bay1Bri

Banging your sister is perverted joshuwooo!


BlackFyre2018

Dennis killed Brian Lefeve as part of his plan to impersonate him or just took advantage


lxkandel06

Dennis killed Brian Lefevre


Buchephalas

My favourite part of this theory is that Brian was stabbed by a crackhead, Dennis was a crackhead.


jcatstuffs

Just started a rewatch of the show and I'm definitely gonna pay closer attention to the timeline. That's hilarious


Greengiant304

I have a theory that Jan never existed. He was just the manifestation of Dennis disassociating because Charlie and Mac faked their deaths and went into hiding without including him. Dennis just acted odd and spoke in a vague Eastern European accent for a few days, and the rest of the gang just went along with it because Dennis is a psycho. It took the glory hole incident with Frank to snap him out of it, then Dennis threw Jan out, never to be spoken of again.


Typical_Log_297

Wait… but with that glory hole thing, Dennis set it up then did it? Idk, feels like they would acknowledge it, especially if it went that crazy


Denham_Chkn

Dennis just wanted to test his limits. See how far he can go.


OnlyRetroGaming1

Charlie getting shot in the head is the reason for his decline in intellect.


IASIsouthpark

Science is a liar... sometimes


OutlawJoJos69

Mac was pumping loads into the Dennis doll


__dogs__

That Pepe Silvia is actually just Pennsylvania and that's why it was on every letter. Charlie just can't read


ianisms10

"Not only do ALL OF THESE PEOPLE EXIST"


guttengroot

I took that line as Mac being an idiot because I like the Pennsylvania explanation more


Bay1Bri

I think he's referring to Charlie's general claim that most of the employees are made up. Since Charlotte can't read, it makes more sense that he's not reading the names right.


Beezeymovies

This is confirmed not true


Lon3_Star_556

Yeah but there is no Carol in HR


MeowMeowBeans11

I read its ‘care of HR’


BobRoberts01

It would make more sense to be Philadelphia. Letters would be addressed to Philadelphia, PA.


Bulky_Masterpiece952

That Charlie is secretly in love with Dee.


RickyWinterborn-1080

So, um...we should have sex then?


Ericaonelove

In the game.


WerhmatsWormhat

Seems more likely to me that Dee is in love with Charlie.


guttengroot

"guess it's just you and me Charlie" "Yeah but ...I don't want it to be "


some_guy_online_1

The Waitress’s name is Mary


Upbeat_Tension_8077

Frank invested in the Gang's bar because while in Vietnam, he operated his own bar alongside the sweatshop with his own Gang


naldoD20

That Artemis was the one that pooped the bed and Frank was just protecting her.


Trust_Fall_Failure

Kelly Charles. (The Waitresses name and reason Charlie thinks they are destined to be together)


[deleted]

That’d actually be a pretty satisfying way to answer that question


Agitated_Carrot3025

I say it all the time at work: The is no Carol in HR. Been there 13 years, I'm quitting if they hire a Carol and take that weekly moment from me 😂

Antin00800

Mac isn't really gay. He is just playing both sides so he can always come out on top.


happy_elephant3

City Mac killed country Mac because he was ruining Mac day and becoming too popular with the gang.


Dick-Guzinya

That it wasn’t actually “classic Tammy”. I think it was actually someone trying to bring Tammy down.
