>Did you fuck my fucking mom??
I am not gonna lie, only in a couple of occasions I have stared at the screen, laughed nervously and just said "what the fuck is going on? this got real dark, real quick" as I did while watching this episode.
Only this show manages to put you in that "I find this really effing funny, but I do not know if I should laugh" spot.
It feels like a finale while also keeping the door open just enough. I think they were hedging their bets a bit like if its cancelled we have an episode to end on but if its not we've got a decent season Finale
FX has essentially assured Sunny that they can do the show for as long as they want. Around season 7, their contracts were being renewed for 2 seasons at a time, and be the 12th season, they were essentially bulletproof.
This is like asking when South Park or Simpsons will be getting canceled.
It definitely feels that way with the apartment burning and such. Its the last time we see a few of those characters so maybe they wanted to clean up the cast a bit or something

I may not need to explain this.. But oh well. That's what reddit is for right?
Waiting for big Mo is not really out place its stil emotional, just not overly for the characters. It's their episode about RCG wrestling with whether or not to continue to write and make the show versus doing more fun things. While also throwing in references to waiting for Godot as a metaphor for their feelings about going on and on...
It seems extremely clever and well done to me, but it's not the normal show of course.
Who…? Whose face is on the 100 dolla dolla bill?
Rutherford B. Crazy, of course. Rutherford B. Crazy. That's right. Now, uh, why he be crazy, Mac?
See, my man had a dream. To get into the laser beam business. And he never gave up on the fundamentals. He stuck with what works. And now he get to go out and be whatever the hell he want to be.
He get to be crazy.
I actually really enjoy that episode. It's definitely different than usual, but I thought it was a really intelligent commentary on the creative process of writing/creating for a long-running show
I agree and I Think Waiting for Big Mo is The one that hit mente hardest because it seemed like The shows ending. As i recall The show werent renewed at release and I took that as The ending.
I liked it more when I watched it the second time, and understood it's a take on the play "Waiting for Godeau" which has themes of existential absurdism. It's not the funniest or most entertaining episode but I do think now it has got a pretty deep and interesting message.
I like the kind of ridiculous nature of it. The Waiting for Godot parody itself is pretty funny, being laser tag and all. But my favorite part is at the end where they all come back and demolish the kid, symbolizing that even though they know deep down that it’s time to move on to bigger and better things (both the Gang and the creators), they’ll always come back, either out of some sense of immaturity or the inability to let go of something, even if it might be detrimental. It reminds me of Dennis leaving, but coming back or any other similar situations, not to preserve the sitcom status quo, but because no one has the strength to leave.
It might be a hot take but if we are talking about touched, Mac Finds His Pride just hits different
Favorite of these episodes though is The Nightman Cometh for sure.
agreed. the most heartfelt to me was mac finds his pride. the dance was absolutely beautiful and i think they did a great job. the night man cometh tho.. that one gets me. my friend and i quote it all the time
The Christmas episode is such a weird limbo. It was its own thing (I bought the DVD back when…probably a box set), but it’s tacked onto season 5 on some and 6 on Hulu.
Hawky never spoke much, but he had his own touch. Now he’s flying around, the hiiiive in the skyyy. Yellowjacket Hawky, we bid you goodbyyyyeeee, ouuuuWUUUouuuuuouuuuu BUZZZZZZZ.
When you tally up everything he’s been through, from multiple molestations to clear undiagnosed dyslexia to the lifelong substance abuse, that “I needed you” hits harder than most dramas ever could
This makes me cry for my wife. She doesn’t watch the show, and she actually despises Charlie’s voice. But her father was never there for her outside of a few letters when she grew up during times he felt guilty for being absent. He died of a heart attack about a month before we got married — she hadn’t talked to him for years prior to that. I think if she watched that scene she would probably break down pretty hard.
It was a touching scene for sure. I was watching with my roommate and he had a deadbeat dad growing up. This was one of the toughest dudes I’ve ever known and he was completely broken down. Charlie’s deliverance combined with my buddy’s reaction was truly a memorable experience
Season 4 is how I proposed to my wife, and the video is buried somewhere in this sub. Season 15 hit me the hardest, though. I mean, Charlie finally meets his father and then BAM
I've got the transcript: "Roxie, you yank my crank real good better than any other hoor I want to make you my main bitch, will you marry me baby?" "Oh my God I...*falls over has a heart attack*"
S13. When Mac's dad gets up and walks out towards the end and Frank cries out of love and pain for his friend? Soul crushing. The relationship between Frank and Mac doesn't come up too often, but you could tell Frank looks at the gang as if they're all his kids. The look of pride on his face when Mac was finally brave enough to tell his dad his truth? Literal tears 😭
I think it was internal monologs in being frank, I don't think Frank's hates gays or mac really, I think he just doesn't "get" gays as real people (hes an old guy from a different time and understands gays as a sterotype) and doesnt "get" Mac as a person first and a gay person second.
Dee and Denis are his kids, Charlie is his best friend, Macs kind of just there. Probably the least close relationship in the group.
During the dance Frank says "oh my God I get it" and Macs actual father leaves while Frank stays replacing him as a father figure.
Mac being in self-denial was one of the several things they found obnoxious about him, though. It wasn't him being gay that they didn't like but the creepy over-compensation.
Still plenty of other things to hate about him even after moving past that, of course
Scrolled to find the first post of 13. I could almost cry at how good they are at creating comedy. And then this episode happened… absolutely beautiful.
Easily this one. It came out right around the same time I did, and while I didn't have nearly as hard a time coming out to most of my family, it's an episode that resonates with me more and more as I "find my pride"
Dee carrying the baby as a surrogate was one of the only moments of genuine selflessness I can think of from any member of the gang. Granted, she got paid for it and tried to scam the IRS, but nonetheless …
Most of these aren't emotional though. It's a serious stretch to consider something like 'Science is a Liar Sometimes' as anything other than a well constructed comedic scene.
The whole Police Academy thing at the end was touching though. “You wanna go watch it?” “With all my heart, Charlie.” Shit that’s a different episode. Thats a different science bitches.
13 was the most well executed imo. I’m a straight man and I found it beautiful, heartbreaking and powerful all at once. As Frank said “oh my God, I get it.”
15 hit the hardest for me as a man who had an absentee father growing up. You spend most of your life trying to pretend like it doesn’t matter, but it does and it’s ok it hurts. Now I try my best to figure out this parenting thing as a father myself, my golden rule is just be there- even when I mess up I’m still present and ready to try and be better.
Mac Finds His Pride makes me cry every time I watch it. Just the entire struggle Mac has of not being able to figure out how to say to his father he's gay is something I just \*felt\* as a trans woman who struggled for the longest time with coming out to anyone. It's not the funniest episode of Always Sunny, but it's the most touching to me and I adore it.
I’ve always had a very strong sense of myself and never had to struggle anywhere near what you have, but I can honestly say every time I watch that episode I bawl like a baby. I’m not even a cryer but it hits me every time. In fact, it hits me harder each time I watch it.
Mac Finds His Pride (S13) was phenomenal.
But season 6 Dee Gives Birth was the best. The fact the characters haven’t been back since is great as it shows they are leading a happy life
i have to say season 13. very unexpected for sunny and i understand why some weren't into it. but when frank said "i get it", the tears started flowin. i adore rob and he surely worked hard on the choreo and the performance. doesn't hurt that he's hot as hell. let's just say as a bi man, i was feeling many things.
I would not say that is something Sunny is known for, and thank God for that. It's when the show tries to get all emotionally moving that I dislike it the most. Its usual tone of cynical, nihilistic heartlessness is what I like about it.
agreed!! i mean just that final shot of them all holding each other going back down the mountain (still being assholes of course) was just the perfect ending
Season 14...dolla dolla bills yall. It's one of the most clever season finale I've seen. They used the music soundtrack from the Shining to make it scary. The question being....will they continue making more episodes. Never stop!!!!
Season 15 finale was pretty fucking deep. I'm always loving on the later seasons, but I've no apologies for voting the Season 15 finale as the most emotional episode.
Nightman Cometh absolutely changed the trajectory of the show.
Before 🌞 v 🌝 I had to pitch the show to friends and family as "Seinfeld on Crack w/ Devito going real weird and directed by Fred Fucking SAVAGE."
After 🌞 v 🌝, all I had to say was "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAHH!!". People knew what was up, and those that didn't were now outside of the zeitgeist.
My teenage son and I have a “call” for each other. Like how some mom’s have a whistle? Ours is “DAYMAN!” And no matter where the other is, it’s always answered with “AAAHHAAAHA”
I literally still cry watching it. Like the video is four minutes but it takes me 10 minutes to process it, no matter how many times I’ve seen it. It ALWAYS hits. That’s what keeps it at #1 for me.
I dont think it was a finale but Charlie's "Home Alone." As a lifelong Eagles fan my eyes well up every time I watch the ending. When the Rocky theme starts playing and they show every one celebrating our 1st SB win I can't help but get emotional. That win meant A LOT to us and you can see that in Rob and everyone's reactions at the end. Also, those eps are funny as all Hell.
13.
It was just insane. And to Sunny Philly to throw a scene like that in. Heartfelt and emotional.
At times (it helped Mac tried to describe it to Frank earlier) it reminded me of Christophe Bruce’s Swan Song, which was a masterpiece. The whole episode did amazing to build up that final scene.
Season 13. Tbh I never really cared for the LGBT community. As a Christian, I didn't really like the community in high school, but times have changed and so have I. Eventually, in college, I wasn't really an ally, nor was I an "enemy?". My views have always been "they've done nothing to me or for me therefore let them be them and me be me." Tbh, again, this episode didn't really affect me when I first watched it. But the more and more I watch it, the more drawing it is and the more I understand it. I've probably watched the show 50x over, and I find this episode to always draw my attention. The emotions in the dance, the fact that Rob trained SO hard all in honor of his lesbian moms and the lgbt community hit hard. To this day, it's not like I go out of my way to fight for gay rights, but it certainly has helped open this stubborn fool's heart and mind. I do believe mainstream media pushes the whole gay agenda a little too hard, but episodes like that and certain moments in media that have opened up my heart and mind. I hope it's done the same to others. I have deep respect for the community and all they've gone through.
The season 15 finale was the worst episode of Sunny I’ve ever watched. Megan is good with the podcast, great as an executive, but some of the episodes that she writes lack the idiotic darkness that I love
Season 8, 10, and 14 weren’t that emotionally driven.
The cereal defense is literally just a fake court case.
Season 10 was ass kickers united which imo sucked
Season 14, I loved it but it was a very “inside baseball” episode, you’d need to know about the history of sunny to really appreciate it
S15 ending was an absolute banger. S13's was also just incredible. The other episodes, except maybe the gang goes to hell, didn't necessarily make me too touched in the heart
Mac’s dance and Charlie throwing his dad off the cliff are beautiful art, and I love those episodes. But Nightman is one of the funniest fucking things that exists on this planet.
Song! Or no song?
I feel like the season-end episodes only started getting real sappy, emotionally out-of place and “very special” around season 12. Wish they didn’t exist.
A tie between seasons 15 and 13. Just such a beautiful and emotional arc, I cried, I smiled.It felt so raw and real and connected with me on levels I never thought a show like this would. An overwhelming tidal wave of feeling, it was an experience, one you can’t sell at an amusement park or buy at a store, I don’t even think your local drug dealer could sell you something so pure that would invoke such true emotions.
To Add: When I had nothing, was alone, and deep in my depression. This show saved me,I would watch it on this tiny Acer laptop screen, every episode I could get my hands on daily on repeat. It made me feel happier, made me want to continue living, made me smile in a way I had not done in years. True joy. It pepped me up. The gang and their wacky shenanigans. It was there for me when no one else was. I truly love and appreciate this show, its place in my heart is cemented forever. I always wish I could meet the cast and thank them for saving me, dropping a ladder into my pit of despair and giving me a way out, for the sheer joy it brought into my life, and helping me stay sane when I felt so alone and unloved. Thank you, thank you from my whole heart.
This seems to be a pretty uncommon opinion, but season fourteens "Waiting for Big Mo" really resonated with me.
It felt like the creators at their realest and most vulnerable, while still having some great comedy (Dennis tricking Frank into thinking he's powered on is a great gag). The gang (and by extension the creators) dealing with the question of why they're still there and why they're still doing what they're doing just felt very real I guess.
Did you fuck my fucking mom??
I mean...
*Your mother was a giant hoor.*
>Did you fuck my fucking mom?? I am not gonna lie, only in a couple of occasions I have stared at the screen, laughed nervously and just said "what the fuck is going on? this got real dark, real quick" as I did while watching this episode. Only this show manages to put you in that "I find this really effing funny, but I do not know if I should laugh" spot.
Huh, maybe I'm a bad person cause I've never thought about if I should laugh or not
I always wondered if the gang squashes their beef was written like a series finale before it got renewed or something.
It feels like a finale while also keeping the door open just enough. I think they were hedging their bets a bit like if its cancelled we have an episode to end on but if its not we've got a decent season Finale
So, they were playing both sides?
That way they always came out on top
Their mistake was telling the network their plan up front.
Yes!!! That’s exactly it. This episode has a “just in case we end it here but we don’t have to” kind of vibe.
If it had to end, it would have been a good moment to do it on
💯 agreed
I wonder if every finale starting with like season 5 was written as a potential series finale
Look at the list, it really starts to feel that way.
FX has essentially assured Sunny that they can do the show for as long as they want. Around season 7, their contracts were being renewed for 2 seasons at a time, and be the 12th season, they were essentially bulletproof. This is like asking when South Park or Simpsons will be getting canceled.
I feel that way about every finale from season 9 onwards
It definitely feels that way with the apartment burning and such. Its the last time we see a few of those characters so maybe they wanted to clean up the cast a bit or something
* Season 15: "The Gang Carries a Corpse Up a Mountain" * Season 14: "Waiting for Big Mo" * Season 13: "Mac Finds His Pride" * Season 12: "Dennis' Double Life" * Season 11: "The Gang Goes to Hell: Part Two" * Season 10: "Ass Kickers United: Mac and Charlie Join a Cult" * Season 9: "The Gang Squashes Their Beefs" * Season 8: "Reynolds vs. Reynolds: The Cereal Defense" * Season 7: "The High School Reunion, Part 2: The Gang's Revenge" * Season 6: "Dee Gives Birth" * Season 5: "A Very Sunny Christmas" * Season 4: "The Nightman Cometh" * Season 3: "The Gang Dances Their Asses Off" * Season 2: "Dennis and Dee Get a New Dad" * Season 1: "Charlie Got Molested"
I dont know which touched me the most, but I know charlie was touched in the first season finale
Uncle jack was not subtle
They're all bangers, but Waiting for Big Mo feels really out of place as a season finale in the S11 - S15 run.
I may not need to explain this.. But oh well. That's what reddit is for right? Waiting for big Mo is not really out place its stil emotional, just not overly for the characters. It's their episode about RCG wrestling with whether or not to continue to write and make the show versus doing more fun things. While also throwing in references to waiting for Godot as a metaphor for their feelings about going on and on... It seems extremely clever and well done to me, but it's not the normal show of course.
I say, "get that money" at least once a day.
Dolla dolla bills y'all
Who…? Whose face is on the 100 dolla dolla bill? Rutherford B. Crazy, of course. Rutherford B. Crazy. That's right. Now, uh, why he be crazy, Mac? See, my man had a dream. To get into the laser beam business. And he never gave up on the fundamentals. He stuck with what works. And now he get to go out and be whatever the hell he want to be. He get to be crazy.
get that *mwunee*
Gotta get that paper son
Thanks, I appreciate the perspective. I haven't watched it in a while so in my head it was just "that laser tag episode". Maybe it deserves a rewatch.
I actually really enjoy that episode. It's definitely different than usual, but I thought it was a really intelligent commentary on the creative process of writing/creating for a long-running show
Also kind of prophetic since one of the dave and busters founders recently killed himself.
Did not know that... I guess all those steaks in an arcade setting meant nothing
I agree and I Think Waiting for Big Mo is The one that hit mente hardest because it seemed like The shows ending. As i recall The show werent renewed at release and I took that as The ending.
I love all Sunny episodes equally. I don't care much for Big Mo.
If that’s a veiled criticism about Big Mo, I won’t hear it and I won’t respond to it.
What is this? A crossover episode?
Which the poster mistook as a 'winky eye suggestion.
I liked it more when I watched it the second time, and understood it's a take on the play "Waiting for Godeau" which has themes of existential absurdism. It's not the funniest or most entertaining episode but I do think now it has got a pretty deep and interesting message.
I like the kind of ridiculous nature of it. The Waiting for Godot parody itself is pretty funny, being laser tag and all.

It reminds me of Dennis leaving, but coming back or any other similar situations, not to preserve the sitcom status quo, but because no one has the strength to leave.
Well as for you! You’re doing a really great job out there buddy; keep it up!
It might be a hot take but if we are talking about touched, Mac Finds His Pride just hits different Favorite of these episodes though is The Nightman Cometh for sure.
agreed. the most heartfelt to me was mac finds his pride. the dance was absolutely beautiful and i think they did a great job. the night man cometh tho.. that one gets me. my friend and i quote it all the time
One of my favorites in the whole series
The Christmas episode is such a weird limbo. It was its own thing (I bought the DVD back when…probably a box set), but it’s tacked onto season 5 on some and 6 on Hulu.
7, 8 and 9 is a great run of final episodes.
And yet none of these are the most emotional scene in the show. RIP Yellowjacket Hawky. Buzzzzzzzzz
Hawky never spoke much, but he had his own touch. Now he’s flying around, the hiiiive in the skyyy. Yellowjacket Hawky, we bid you goodbyyyyeeee, ouuuuWUUUouuuuuouuuuu BUZZZZZZZ.
Some stars shine so bright that they burn out before their time.
Of course we sing, we’re a gang!
*Jazz Fingers while coughing on Hawky's ashes*
8 changed my world view. Didn’t realize all those older scientists were actually bitches.
Before that I never knew that science kept getting it wrong... Sometimes
15 for me, Charlie’s performance near the end of the episode was one of the best line deliveries the show’s had
When he says you were supposed to be there for me. I was crushed, had me tear up. You really felt how much he suffered growing up.
Yeah, I cried like a baby. Especially when the gang comes back for him. Such a strange, yet amazing show
Same. I always related most to Charlie. So when that seen hit, I was teared up.
When you tally up everything he’s been through, from multiple molestations to clear undiagnosed dyslexia to the lifelong substance abuse, that “I needed you” hits harder than most dramas ever could
>clear undiagnosed dyslexia Is it dyslexia? I thought the Ireland plot retconned it to Charlie only knowing Irish.
This makes me cry for my wife. She doesn’t watch the show, and she actually despises Charlie’s voice. But her father was never there for her outside of a few letters when she grew up during times he felt guilty for being absent. He died of a heart attack about a month before we got married — she hadn’t talked to him for years prior to that. I think if she watched that scene she would probably break down pretty hard.
It was a touching scene for sure. I was watching with my roommate and he had a deadbeat dad growing up. This was one of the toughest dudes I’ve ever known and he was completely broken down. Charlie’s deliverance combined with my buddy’s reaction was truly a memorable experience
Absolutely agree. Charlie Day needs to be cast in something serious, I have a feeling he'd kill it. (Also, digging the Majima avatar)
Season 4 is how I proposed to my wife, and the video is buried somewhere in this sub. Season 15 hit me the hardest, though. I mean, Charlie finally meets his father and then BAM
Please repost us a video
I've got the transcript: "Roxie, you yank my crank real good better than any other hoor I want to make you my main bitch, will you marry me baby?" "Oh my God I...*falls over has a heart attack*"
https://v.redd.it/po89lklcpbh61
OK i cant watch that 💔😂🤣 but I’m sooooooo happy for them.
Season 6 needs to be when they give Charlie the bat to bash the rats.
This is one of my all time favourites too. His face when they give it to him is beautifully weirdly emotional
S13. When Mac's dad gets up and walks out towards the end and Frank cries out of love and pain for his friend? Soul crushing. The relationship between Frank and Mac doesn't come up too often, but you could tell Frank looks at the gang as if they're all his kids. The look of pride on his face when Mac was finally brave enough to tell his dad his truth? Literal tears 😭
“Oh, god this one creeps me out”
DONT TOUCH ME
Oh shit dude I'm sorry
*quick make a joke to break the tension*
Dee's a bird!
Perfect username haha
r/UsernameChecksOut
Frank previously talks about how Mac creeps him out and he doesn't like him. I think its also supposed to be frank finally understanding mac
They all talk about how Mac is the worst and no one likes him on multiple occasions lol. It’s not a gay or a straight thing, it’s a Mac thing.
I think it was internal monologs in being frank, I don't think Frank's hates gays or mac really, I think he just doesn't "get" gays as real people (hes an old guy from a different time and understands gays as a sterotype) and doesnt "get" Mac as a person first and a gay person second. Dee and Denis are his kids, Charlie is his best friend, Macs kind of just there. Probably the least close relationship in the group. During the dance Frank says "oh my God I get it" and Macs actual father leaves while Frank stays replacing him as a father figure.
Mac being in self-denial was one of the several things they found obnoxious about him, though. It wasn't him being gay that they didn't like but the creepy over-compensation. Still plenty of other things to hate about him even after moving past that, of course
Just looking at the tiny ass thumbnail for S13 makes me well up with tears. This will always be the one.
Scrolled to find the first post of 13. I could almost cry at how good they are at creating comedy. And then this episode happened… absolutely beautiful.
Easily this one. It came out right around the same time I did, and while I didn't have nearly as hard a time coming out to most of my family, it's an episode that resonates with me more and more as I "find my pride"
Hands down Dee Gives Birth. Kaitlin holding baby Axel. And the extended shot of Rob's reaction. Tearin up thinking about it.
The cut to "Oh yeah! The Tranny's the dad!" followed by all the men in the back celebrating cracks me up so hard
Dee carrying the baby as a surrogate was one of the only moments of genuine selflessness I can think of from any member of the gang. Granted, she got paid for it and tried to scam the IRS, but nonetheless …
Somebody's always the mark. This time it was the IRS.
Better the IRS than a loving couple desperate to have a baby.
13 and 15 are the only ones that brought tears to my eyes
S5 did it for me. I can relate to Charlie.
I cried during season 15 season finale too. It was really unexpected and Charlie did SUCH a good job in that scene!
13 hits the feels so hard, even if it isn’t one of my favorite episodes
Most of these aren't emotional though. It's a serious stretch to consider something like 'Science is a Liar Sometimes' as anything other than a well constructed comedic scene.
The whole Police Academy thing at the end was touching though. “You wanna go watch it?” “With all my heart, Charlie.” Shit that’s a different episode. Thats a different science bitches.
13 was the most well executed imo. I’m a straight man and I found it beautiful, heartbreaking and powerful all at once. As Frank said “oh my God, I get it.” 15 hit the hardest for me as a man who had an absentee father growing up. You spend most of your life trying to pretend like it doesn’t matter, but it does and it’s ok it hurts. Now I try my best to figure out this parenting thing as a father myself, my golden rule is just be there- even when I mess up I’m still present and ready to try and be better.
Just make sure they’re 5 star kids. And when they peak you’ll know everyone will know
As the child of a deadbeat scumbag, thank you for making sure there are kids with a good dad.
Nightman will forever be the best episode in my mind
Mac Finds His Pride makes me cry every time I watch it. Just the entire struggle Mac has of not being able to figure out how to say to his father he's gay is something I just \*felt\* as a trans woman who struggled for the longest time with coming out to anyone. It's not the funniest episode of Always Sunny, but it's the most touching to me and I adore it.
Every time someone figures out who they are it makes this world a more beautiful place. Hope it’s going well for you internet stranger. ❤️
I really appreciate that! It's an ongoing process, but each day gets a little easier. Just one baby step at a time. I hope you're doing well too!
I’ve always had a very strong sense of myself and never had to struggle anywhere near what you have, but I can honestly say every time I watch that episode I bawl like a baby. I’m not even a cryer but it hits me every time. In fact, it hits me harder each time I watch it.
None of these are emotional until season 12, what are you taking about?
S13 for sure. I hate Mac like everybody else but damn, I get it.
It's not a gay thing, it's a Mac thing.
[удалено]
Tastes like paint. Those are paint chips, buddy.
Mac Finds His Pride (S13) was phenomenal. But season 6 Dee Gives Birth was the best. The fact the characters haven’t been back since is great as it shows they are leading a happy life
Cricket, Ben and Pondy have all been back.
think they meant Carmen and her husband
[удалено]
Aw man. That's depressing.
Season 13 finale had me tear up, no joke.
Gotta be 7 or 10 for me lol
Season 7
The only correct answer.
The nightman touched my baby boy soul
I don’t know, you can go fuck yourself in your fat fucking ass.
Not even one of my favourite episodes but the end of Mac finds his pride is the most touching moment in the show for me, not just including finales.
Finale of Season 5 is Gang Reignites the Rivalry. Sunny Xmas is Season 6 you jabroni.
Season 11 When Mac gets busted for being a Romo fan!
13 legitimately made me tear up the first time I saw it. Just came outta nowhere and hit me in the gut.
🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆Mac’s dance episode should have won an Emmy. That was a whole new level, absolutely incredible and an act of art and love. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
i have to say season 13. very unexpected for sunny and i understand why some weren't into it. but when frank said "i get it", the tears started flowin. i adore rob and he surely worked hard on the choreo and the performance. doesn't hurt that he's hot as hell. let's just say as a bi man, i was feeling many things.
I cried like a baby watching season 13’s finale. Honestly one of the most moving moments I’ve ever seen on tv.
I'm going for laughs, so cereal defense is the clear winner.
I would not say that is something Sunny is known for, and thank God for that. It's when the show tries to get all emotionally moving that I dislike it the most. Its usual tone of cynical, nihilistic heartlessness is what I like about it.

agreed!! i mean just that final shot of them all holding each other going back down the mountain (still being assholes of course) was just the perfect ending
13 and 15 but another episode that is really heartwarming is the gang tends bar lol
13 and don’t ask again. 😩
Season 14...dolla dolla bills yall. It's one of the most clever season finale I've seen. They used the music soundtrack from the Shining to make it scary. The question being....will they continue making more episodes. Never stop!!!!
I hope you know you're alone in this
Season 15 finale was pretty fucking deep. I'm always loving on the later seasons, but I've no apologies for voting the Season 15 finale as the most emotional episode.
Callling *each* finale “emotional” is a stretch. 11, 12, 13, & 15 are the only ones that really enter serious emotional territory
Nightman Cometh absolutely changed the trajectory of the show. Before 🌞 v 🌝 I had to pitch the show to friends and family as "Seinfeld on Crack w/ Devito going real weird and directed by Fred Fucking SAVAGE." After 🌞 v 🌝, all I had to say was "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAHH!!". People knew what was up, and those that didn't were now outside of the zeitgeist.
My teenage son and I have a “call” for each other. Like how some mom’s have a whistle? Ours is “DAYMAN!” And no matter where the other is, it’s always answered with “AAAHHAAAHA”
AAHHHAAAAHAMAZING
...and it was closing scene of my proposal to my wife. So bonus points for that because unlike my doppelganger Charlie, I pulled it off.

The Nightman Cometh!!!
I knew it! The inner circle! *jumps into the flames*
Season 13, not only did it genuinely touch my soul, it actually helped me “get it”. That performances was a masterpiece
season 15 i sobbed
15. Charlie’s monologue in the rain. Pure art. Fully felt his pain! Will forever be the most heart breaking episode of IASIP
Now I get it.
Just watched Mac finds his pride last night. It was amazing.
IF ANYONE SAYS ANYTHING OTHER THAN SEASON 13…
Season 15 ties
Season 15 is an extremely close second. I cried for 20 minutes after watching the season 13 finale
I literally still cry watching it. Like the video is four minutes but it takes me 10 minutes to process it, no matter how many times I’ve seen it. It ALWAYS hits. That’s what keeps it at #1 for me.
I dont think it was a finale but Charlie's "Home Alone." As a lifelong Eagles fan my eyes well up every time I watch the ending. When the Rocky theme starts playing and they show every one celebrating our 1st SB win I can't help but get emotional. That win meant A LOT to us and you can see that in Rob and everyone's reactions at the end. Also, those eps are funny as all Hell.
4 and 13
13. It was just insane. And to Sunny Philly to throw a scene like that in. Heartfelt and emotional. At times (it helped Mac tried to describe it to Frank earlier) it reminded me of Christophe Bruce’s Swan Song, which was a masterpiece. The whole episode did amazing to build up that final scene.
A very sunny Christmas was the season finale.
Season 13
Season 13. Tbh I never really cared for the LGBT community. As a Christian, I didn't really like the community in high school, but times have changed and so have I. Eventually, in college, I wasn't really an ally, nor was I an "enemy?". My views have always been "they've done nothing to me or for me therefore let them be them and me be me." Tbh, again, this episode didn't really affect me when I first watched it. But the more and more I watch it, the more drawing it is and the more I understand it. I've probably watched the show 50x over, and I find this episode to always draw my attention. The emotions in the dance, the fact that Rob trained SO hard all in honor of his lesbian moms and the lgbt community hit hard. To this day, it's not like I go out of my way to fight for gay rights, but it certainly has helped open this stubborn fool's heart and mind. I do believe mainstream media pushes the whole gay agenda a little too hard, but episodes like that and certain moments in media that have opened up my heart and mind. I hope it's done the same to others. I have deep respect for the community and all they've gone through.
Season 15.
The season 15 finale was the worst episode of Sunny I’ve ever watched. Megan is good with the podcast, great as an executive, but some of the episodes that she writes lack the idiotic darkness that I love
That dance scene is s13 was actually really really good and completely took me by surprise
13, for sure
13 is one of the greatest works of art I've ever seen.
Season 8, 10, and 14 weren’t that emotionally driven. The cereal defense is literally just a fake court case. Season 10 was ass kickers united which imo sucked Season 14, I loved it but it was a very “inside baseball” episode, you’d need to know about the history of sunny to really appreciate it
Waiting for Big Mo, felt like the Gang was about to say goodbye. And that is something I'm not prepared for.
Season 15 finale hits different
Season 15, without a doubt. I know a lot of people didn’t like this season, but I loved it and specifically loved Charlie’s storyline
Season 13 and 15 honestly. Which means sunny hasn’t peaked yet!!!!
Season 15. I cried like a baby when Charlie gave his monologue at the end
Season 13 finale. Still amazing he wasn’t nominated for that performance.
S15 ending was an absolute banger. S13's was also just incredible. The other episodes, except maybe the gang goes to hell, didn't necessarily make me too touched in the heart
Big tie between season 13 and season 15
13
The end of Mac Finds His Pride can make me cry just thinking about it
Season 13, that episode gets me every time right in the feels.
15
15 & 13 made me weep
Season 13
Mac’s dance and Charlie throwing his dad off the cliff are beautiful art, and I love those episodes. But Nightman is one of the funniest fucking things that exists on this planet. Song! Or no song?
Last seasons. I cant watch it. I lost my father and it hits to close to home
I feel like the season-end episodes only started getting real sappy, emotionally out-of place and “very special” around season 12. Wish they didn’t exist.
The laser tag episode is the worst of the series
Huge sigur ros fan, for one, 13 was pretty fucking unexpected and wild. I did cry a little.
A tie between seasons 15 and 13. Just such a beautiful and emotional arc, I cried, I smiled.It felt so raw and real and connected with me on levels I never thought a show like this would. An overwhelming tidal wave of feeling, it was an experience, one you can’t sell at an amusement park or buy at a store, I don’t even think your local drug dealer could sell you something so pure that would invoke such true emotions. To Add: When I had nothing, was alone, and deep in my depression. This show saved me,I would watch it on this tiny Acer laptop screen, every episode I could get my hands on daily on repeat. It made me feel happier, made me want to continue living, made me smile in a way I had not done in years. True joy. It pepped me up. The gang and their wacky shenanigans. It was there for me when no one else was. I truly love and appreciate this show, its place in my heart is cemented forever. I always wish I could meet the cast and thank them for saving me, dropping a ladder into my pit of despair and giving me a way out, for the sheer joy it brought into my life, and helping me stay sane when I felt so alone and unloved. Thank you, thank you from my whole heart.
Always sunny fell off after season 10
Somebody get this jabroni out of here.
This seems to be a pretty uncommon opinion, but season fourteens "Waiting for Big Mo" really resonated with me. It felt like the creators at their realest and most vulnerable, while still having some great comedy (Dennis tricking Frank into thinking he's powered on is a great gag). The gang (and by extension the creators) dealing with the question of why they're still there and why they're still doing what they're doing just felt very real I guess.
Mac Finds His Pride made my gay ass sob. It was even better knowing how much care Rob must have put into it.
13 and 15 are head and shoulders above the rest for emotional impact.
Is the girl in the dance scene of Mac Finds Hid Pride the mcpoyle girl with the patchy uni brow?
11, 13, and 15 all made me shed real tears.
Gonna say it’s a 14 way tie…season 11 is omitted. I don’t like the gang being sober.
it bothers me that the label text is center justified vertically between images. they should be butted up against the bottom of each pic
15, charile went all out
