It's Always SunnyVALE in Philadelphia....
« on: Sep 26, 2008, 02:53 AM »
I searched, but couldn't find any other threads about this show......I've been hearing how good it was for a while, but the guy who turned me on to TPB told me a month or two ago that it was like "trailer park boys LITE" so, I had to see it......So, in the last month or so, I've watched the first three seasons...FUNNNNNNNNNNNNY stuff....I would define it  more as "urban" TPB with less cursing and less drooooogs ( well, less dope, but there've been crackhead eps and coke-dealer eps), but then tonight, watching the brand new ones from the other night.......they referred to a cock as a "bird"   IT'S A SIGN!!!!    I'd love to see the TPB boys meet up with the It's Always Sunny crew.....I think the TPB boys would whoop their asses!



Anyone else seen/like/dislike/love/hate  this show?

Anyone else see the parallels?   (thank fuck for spellcheck....parallel is hard to spell when drunk n on droogs)

I've seen the show, its pretty damn funny. I believe it comes over here on FX network, where fox sends shows to die, like king of the hill. However, they keep some of the dirtier stuff on FX because its considered a cable network channel. Therefore the FCC can't fuck with the censorship that much. I believe the new season comes out in a few days for that show too. It is pretty damn funny tho.

Watch it Vanny, I'm from Pittsburgh not Philly.  :)

I really loved the first 3? seasons of the show but I find that I'm not into this season as much. It seems like they are trying too hard or maybe they have just worked those characters as much as they can and I'm getting bored by them. Its early in the season though and I haven't watched last nights epis yet

Just watched the premiere episode of this season

Danny devito buys a billboard in order to get people into a bar, and a war resumes between the remaining main cast members about what will pull in more custy's, the billboard with sexy chicks and dudes on it, or a youtube advertisement online.

Not spoiling, just giving away the main plot, enjoy it when you see it.

I'm starting to like this show even more, fuck- it is really funny. and there are alot of TPB-like things about it. Even some specific things... like the theme/intro is soo sunnyvale but set in Philly... and isn't it always sunny in Sunnyvale too?  :-k

I heard one character use the word "drinky-poo" and there was another episode where someone said "let's split it 50-50-50" (I definitely remember Ricky saying that)... and then theres one where they pretend to be in wheelchairs to get attention... lots of strip-club scenes.. ohh and Danny DeVito's in it... isnt that the guy who created Reno 911? ..again a lot like TPB... but what came first?

ah really tho, when you think about it these are just random things anyone could come up with... anyone could really just dissect a fuckin show and compare it to another one and say they copy it.. blah.. at least there are some great shows out there nowadays lets just embrace them, eh? i'm rambling.. peace! :)

OKAY...

now I'm getting a bit pissed-off... but I'll admit it i'm still highly entertained at the same time.

Observe: Season 3 Episode 2 entitled "The Gang Gets Invincible" is a straight-up rip-off of "The Green Bastard".

"Ahhh, are you gonna bust out Green Man, yo?"
"no green man!" ...

Danny DeVito: "what's Green Man?" (Like he doesn't know already)

"Oh, well Charlie was our high school mascot, but a mascot nobody wanted and he used to get wasted and dressed up in this *Green Spandex Body-Suit*..." (They emphasize this by speaking all at the same time as scripted.)

then the Charlie character (who plays in character with his real first name) procedes to wrap his hoodie over his head and pretend to wrastle invisible opponents.

...

I haven't even watched the rest of this episode, but I think that scene speaks for itself. Is there something here you guys know that I don't... is that why no one has responded to this thread in awhile? weeeird.   :-k


also...

Dee looks a lot like Lucy!  :o

It's ridiculous, it's too analogous to not mention!

sorry for the double-posts, Fishy!

The comparisons seem to be quite frequent even starting from Cart Girl's first post. I wonder what's up with that. If one of the characters takes a bite of a Philly cheese steak sandwich and says "Holy FUCK that's a good sandwich" I would certainly cry fowl.
Can you view it online without using torrents?

yes! you can Fishy, it is available streaming @ http://www.ninjavideo.net/video/787 (Just make sure to click the "Launch Ninja video" Link first and keep that window open)

... I just noticed something else I can't help but mention now it seems the characters who are so much like Terry and Dennis also share qualities of Cory and Trevor.

They are always trying to "Bump fists" with Charlie and the "Gang", but Charlie always turns them down.

I just keep waiting to hear "Two beers, c'mon!" or something similar to the 2smokes bit :P

also, and correct me if i'm wrong, CG, but isn't your profile pic actually a frame from this episode?

...



you know whats up right? c'mon, this stuff is waaay too cooincidental to be by accident.

yeah, it's totally an americanized/urbanized  version of TPB.......i'd love to talk to these guys and ask them if they're fans of TPB, and if they said no, bitch slap them....but i can't help it, it makes me laugh......honestly, if there were new eps of TPB, i don't know that i'd like it as much.....got into a big ole text msg argument with a buddy of mine tonight who said it was NOTHING like TPB....had to inform the boy that he was blind.  but, once again, i do like it and it DOES make me laugh....a lot....i mean, the last episode was titled "who pooped the bed" for fuck's sake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ps...bourbon is especially wonderful when one is working four jobs!!!!!

p.p.s......yes, mitch, my avatard is from the "green man" ep......i didn't even think about the green man/green bastard correlation until you pointed it out,  but i used it in my txt msg argument earlier tonight, so thanks!  (ps again to mitch...re-send me your mailing addy....i might have another care pkg of books to come yer way!)

you're awesome, CG! ..and thanks again for "The Stingray Shuffle"! (We should start a book club!) ;P
...
so, apparently Rob McElhenney (who plays Mac in the show) is the creator/producer/director/dueshebag who copied the TPB motif and adapted it for American television; and now it plays proudly on Showcase alongside "My Name Is Earl", "Testees", and an absent TPB Season 8 and no word of an air date for the special. >;|

http://www.showcase.ca/video/?playerId=showcasevideocenterdart&referrer=static&referralPlaylistId=f561473b09dd41534ce069579772a26614e0bd9f&referralObject=554622642&playlistId=74a4a5caa1f7dccb84792284e97f87ac3c38c618&streamingFormat=FLASH

Quote
(From Wikipedia)...
"...his manager and agent presented McElhenney's idea for a "Seinfeld on crack" sitcom to the FX cable network."

Don't get me wrong, I think it's fucking hilarious too... (their original material is)... but some scenes i'm just like wtf, they are obviously copying the boys and they know these american network exempultive dicks have never heard of tpb; it's fucked. someone give me some pepperoni.

P.S.

Mac and Dee are actually married in real life.

P.S.S.s.s..s.s.dsssssss...

I've watched a few episodes and while it is really funny, you'd have to be a blind retarded hedgehog not to notice the TPB similarities.

I guess imitation is the sincerest form of flattery - without the royalties.  :?

Latest episode was hilaaaaaaaarious. where they try to get patty's pub a historical landmark, and tell the tale and all fade back to 1776, fucking hilarious. Devito uses a skunk pelt as a wig, the two other guys dress up as fancy english men and get tarred and feathered as sodomites. had me laughing my ass off.

I don't think I'm gonna watch this show incase it annoys me lol. As if it is ripping off the masters.

A similar case is my friends telling me to not bother when I mentioned I hadn't seen Dumb and Dumber 2. They said it would ruin everything for me lol.

I am constantly thinking if I have ripped off TPB when writing for my mockumentary film I am making. Even if it wasn't a parody. I'd be like "Aw man! They got there first! Oh well that idea's going in the bin" lol

i think this show rocks! i really didn't see it as a ripoff of the boys, there are some similarities in the characters but is that coincidence?i mean the green bastard is a wrestling character..the green man was a coping mechanism for taking too many drugs.."it got me through some hard times"lol.
