Three of the Worst Things the “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” Gang Have Ever Done

These people are the best at being the absolute worst.

Let’s take a look at 3 of the most despicable, heinous, and hysterically awful deeds the patrons of Paddy’s Pub have ever committed.

Kidnapping a Critic

Critics can be cruel, but calling Paddy’s Pub the worst bar in Philadelphia is a pretty spot-on statement. Nevertheless, the Gang doesn’t take kindly to these harsh words and smash up the critic’s office when he refuses to reconsider his review. It only gets worse from there, as a drunken Charlie kidnaps the critic with his neighbour and cat also getting roped into the mix. After an uncomfortable trip to the bathroom and a bottle to the head, the critic writes another piece that epitomizes why the Gang are such miserable human beings. And since they are indeed horrible people, the Gang further harasses the long-suffering critic, demanding he use their names in the article.

Breaking Dee

While every main character on this show is terrible, Dee is perhaps the most sympathetic since her friends and family constantly gang up on her for no reason. After eight seasons of being the butt of the joke, Dee is finally sent into a downhill spiral of self-loathing. Seeming empathetic, the Gang encourages Dee to give her standup career another shot. Grey skies finally start to clear up for Dee, but it turns out to be an elaborate prank and the Gang pulls the rug out from under her in the most hilariously spirited way possible. While this reignites the spark in Dee, she still hits a new low and drags Dennis down with her.

Ruining Cricket’s Life

Before he was hunted for game or left to burn alive, “Rickety Cricket” had already been sent down a dark path thanks to the Paddy’s Pub Gang. Exploiting Cricket’s affection for Dee, the Gang motivates him to leave the Catholic Church. Of course, Dee immediately rejects Cricket, who’s unable to return to priesthood. Turning to a life of sin, Cricket appears more sickly, desperate, and homeless every time he encounters the Gang over the next ten seasons. While you could argue that Cricket is technically responsible for his own poor choices, it’s safe to say that his life would’ve turned out much better if the Gang wasn’t constantly acting as the devils on his shoulder.
