13 pieces of life advice from It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia that will make you a better person

"I'm not fat... I'm cultivating mass."

Paul Moore

Because of the implication…

Much like Jack Kelly’s obsession with having bigger hands, we’ve never hidden our love for the utterly brilliant It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. The news that FXX are bringing the gang back for another two seasons was music to our ears and in doing so, IASIP will become the longest-running live-action comedy in TV history with 14 seasons.

Time to break out the rum ham and start dancing.

With this in mind, we’ve decided to take inspiration from the patrons of Paddy’s Pub and tell you how the words of Mac, Dennis, Dee, Frank and Charlie will improve your life in 14 different ways.

1) Don’t be conscious of your body.

Mac

We love Fat Mac because despite being crippled with dia-bitis, he still somehow managed to be healthier than Dennis. It must have been all those chimichangas.

2) Trust your friends.

If you and your mates are sticking to the classic structure of the A-Team then you need to establish who’s the looks, brains and the….

3) Dating made easy.

You could always use the D.E.N.N.I.S system.

This will frighten the shit out of anyone! That laugh is pure evil but then again, you should know that…

…”any amount of cheese before a date is too much cheese” but we really do love Charlie’s pick-up line. The only reason it didn’t work was because of those hornet stings and the fact that the restaurant didn’t have any milk steak.

4) Be proud of who you are.

In Frank’s own words “I love eggs! And I love crabs! And I like boiling denim and banging whores!”. While we don’t advocate that last bit, he’s a man who knows what he wants.

5) Never back down.

Dee knows best.

6) Always experiment with drinks.

Grain alcohol, crowtein and Wolf Cola have all made an appearance in the show but they can’t compare to getting ripped s** t drunk on ham.

7) Pay people compliments.

“Charlie, make a move. Just tell her you wanna bang her”. – Mac.

“I got my Magnum condoms; I got my wad of hundreds. I’m ready to plow”. – Frank.

“Mac, you have an exceptional number of bugs in your teeth. You’re gonna wanna rinse those out. It’s disgusting” – Dennis

8) Never be afraid to ask questions.

“Oh, shit. Look at that door, dude. See that door right there? The one marked “pirate?” You think a pirate lives in there?” – Charlie.

He knows best.

9) Nothing comes for free.

“Dayman (ah-ah-ah), fighter of the Nightman (ah-ah-ah), champion of the sun (ah-ah-ah), you’re a master of karate and friendship for everyone.”

Victory came at a price though.

10) Don’t be afraid to take some risks.

“”Charlie, you’ve got a lot of balls, stealing my money. This shows leadership, I am promoting you to management.” – Frank.

Frank’s a maverick.

11) Stand by your words

“I don’t appreciate being paraphrased. Now, I choose my words very deliberately.” – Mac

12) Be your own god.

If you’re in Dennis’ room then you’re always being filmed. It’s actually a compliment though because this is a man who thinks that his car is “a  transporter of gods, the golden god. I am untethered and my rage knows no bounds!”.

13) If all else fails then just be Frank.

This is the best advice that you’ll ever hear.
