11/21/08 - It is Always Sunny In Philadelphia – On FX
When they ran ads for this show, they would often show the female starring
role played by Kaitlen Olson. I made a snap judgment that this was some
bullshit chick comedy because the only female starring role is regular girl
hot, and not Hollywood ridiculous hot. Usually when sitcoms do this, they
are trying to pull in the female audience, which means the jokes will be
lame because women don’t know what funny is. Hence comedies like Sex
and the City, a horrible monstrosity of a show, whose only jokes revolve
around shoes (I have had to suffer through episodes with my wife).
The ads running on The Shield (best show on television) finally got to me
so I gave in and watched an episode on ‘On Demand’.
After watching a few episodes of It is Always Sunny I can officially
proclaim Kaitlen Olson to be the first funny female in the history of the
world. It is hard to explain, but the best I can come up with is that her humor
is similar to a man’s humor, only not in that annoying “I am Sarah Silverman
and have harry arms” sort of way. With that said, I would prefer it if they
replaced her immediately with a horrible actress with huge knockers.
A sample of her dialogue: “I am not white trash; I am kind and generous
and a good natured lady.”
One of the lead dudes: “I seem to remember you calling some guy a faggot”
Kaitlen Olson: “I absolutely called him a faggot, but he ordered a
chardonnay, what was I supposed to do?!”
The first episode I watched started out with a probation hearing, and two
guys on the stand testifying against the father of one of them. This was the
first dialogue I heard on this show:
Man in suit running the parole hearing: “Okay just to clarify for the parole
board once again, you are claiming that your father threatened to quote,
‘Eat the living shit out of you’?”
Two guys on the stand: “That is correct.”
Man in suit running the parole hearing: “And Mr. Kelly in your sworn
statement to the police you claim that the prisoner told you that if you didn’t,
and I quote, ‘Jam a bunch of stuff into your butt, he was going to rape you
so hard the room would stink.’ And he was going to, quote, ‘Eat your butt
and his son’s butt, in the stink, until his stomach was full of….your butts.’ Is
this correct?”
One of the guys on the stand: “That is also correct”
I hit the fucking Jackpot. Finally a comedy with good writing, and smart,
well thought out humor.
The rest of the episode did not disappoint, as the subplot revolved around
a fake suicide and a glory hole. I shit you not, a glory hole! And not a gay
one (although it almost ended up that way – I don’t want to spoil it for you).
This show is right in the farteaters reader’s wheelhouse. Give this show a
try, you will not be disappointed. If you don’t give it a try, I may have to
come over and rape you until the room stinks then eat your butt until my
stomach is full of your butt.
