The nightman song from 'Sweet Dee's dating a retarded person' is one of the highlights of the show for me.
Mac: I came up with a plan. It involves pulling up our bootstraps. Oiling up a couple of asses. And doing a little plowing of our own.
Charlie + Dennis: ...
Mac: Not gay sex.

This is by far my fav show of all time for sure in my top 5 fav episodes too. Just wish the show had more episodes per season. I also have a huge huge huge crush on Charlie Day so every episode that focuses on him is just <3
Hearing a laugh track is so jarring nowadays. Can't stand it. Can't wait until they're entirely gone.
I have to put the episode where Frank flashbacks to working with his brother up there. I know a lot of people dislike it, but between Lance Reddick telling Frank he looks like a kid, Frank's brother getting high off cocaine and having an orgasm, and the 'I'm a black panther, now' line...
It's a phenomenal episode. Reggie is one of the greatest one off characters ever.

I feel like this thread needs way more Eastbound and down but I think I'd need a rewatch to pick out my number 1.

a lot of my threads involve me fucking up somehow. Perhaps I'm a moron?
Frank's Brother is generally regarded as one of, if not the worst episode of the whole series.
You're a maniac.

That says a lot about the overall quality of It's Always Sunny because that is still a really decent episode to me.

It's a shame that so much good stuff gets forgotten. I would like to suggest:
Police squad :Rendezvous at Big Gulch (Terror in the Neighborhood
It's hard to pick a 'best' episode from police squad, but I always loved how Frank's partner goes deep undercover in this episode and just tries to run the store.

Very true. I forgot about the courtroom drama where Hal explains his time off work. The diaper episode is one of the only times I have ever cried laughing,
I would have had the older Shadynasty played by the younger actress from the flashbacks, except everyone comments on how old she looks now. I kept expecting them to do that as I watched the episode the first time.

One recent moment that I haven't seen mentioned is when Dennis steals that guy's identity and is priming himself to fuck that Asian boy
That genuinely made me ache with laughter

I came in to this thread ready to agree, then I keep seeing people list other episodes and ultimately agree with them as well. This show is just god tier. This show is constantly in rotation for me, its easier to mention the episodes I don't like. The Gang Cracks the Liberty Bell, Who Pooped the Bed, and Frank's Brother are the only three I don't like.

I'm going through this series for the first time recently and just completed The Nightman Cometh and thought it was a really poor episode, it's panders to the popularity of the Dayman/Nightman song from earlier, but it has no other reason to exist and isn't that interesting in itself. Not even in the top 20 episodes.
Danny Devito making the song about the boys hole is the funniest joke in it.

I would seriously go see a feature length film of their Lethal Weapon parodies.

So damn funny, and especially when he hisses and the crowd laughs. I lose it every single time.
This episode had me audibly laughing through most of it. The only time I've laughed harder at a sitcom episode was the Beauty Pageant episode where frank comes out in funeral makeup. I couldn't breathe for that.
this, it's pure genius

I love how Frank is itching his feet with his cane while he's pretending to be dead on the seat. Little things like that is what I love about the show.

Sunny is a lot like Seinfeld, in that once you know the characters you can pretty much watch any random episode and enjoy it. I still think Arrested Development is the funniest show, but you definitely have to watch it in order (at least the first time through). The laughs per minute are off the charts!
My top 5:
Gas Crisis
Nightman
Mac and Dennis Break Up
Extreme Makeover
Mac's Banging the Waitress

It's very hard for me to get past the "oh dear oh dear oh dear" and un proportional laugh track reaction to what are essentially non-jokes. However... I am in a bad mood now so I'll give it a shot a little later.

This was actually the first episode of It's Always Sunny I ever watched! 
I liked it so much that I went out and got all of the available DVD sets (the show wasn't on Netflix yet) and have been a huge fan ever since.
I think my top 3 episodes would have to be 'The Gang Buys a Boat', 'Frank's Intervention', and 'The Waitress is Getting Married' (I gave my friends a wedding gift in a nondescript cardboard box with a giant 'H' on it last year and they loved it, haha).

The bit with the voice changer had me in tears.
"I'm watching you, you bitch. You're gonna DIE tonight!"
That show was consistently hilarious.
Bro, it's a classic episode. Charlie fucking losing his shit at Dee trying to change his script is a God-tier scene. And the songs are so fucked up in classic IASIP fashion.
I think "The Gang Solves The Gas Crisis" or "The Gang Solves The North Korea Situation" might be my favourites, but there are SO many amazing episodes that can't decide for sure.
EDIT: Oh shit, and "Reynolds vs Reynolds: The cereal defense" is a goddamned masterpiece, that could be my favourite one.

Actually, yeah the World Series Defense is amazing. "It's time for a Charlie one-two."
The Christmas special is great too. Charlie fucking losing his shit with Santa... Mac elbowing that woman in the face... kids crying as parents drag them away...

My man. The final act is the greatest 12 minutes in the history of entertainment television, but the entire episode is masterful. There are jokes in the first half of the episode that not only are self-contained jokes in themselves, but they even provide set-up for additional jokes that pay off later on. It's incredible to watch.

God damn. Started to type a post about which episodes I think have surpassed it and then trailed of course and is currently rewatching the show.
I've had it up to here!

Good episode, not even the best Always Sunny episode though, let alone sitcom. Charlie Work takes that honour.
