I don't need your trophies or your gooooolldd

I just wanna tell you all, go fuck yourselvvveess

 

[A Link to the Past]

If my perspective is anything of value, I think that Sunny was best early on (like first few seasons), and when it got big, it got a little bit less fun. I felt it got too mean later on.

 

[FootballFan]

All other shows are trash.

 

[BananaPancake]

All other shows are trash.

And crap! Pure unadulterated crap!

 

[Langdon Alger]

It's crude and abrasive, the characters are sociopaths, and it doesn't have any kind of underlying message or heart. I don't think the Emmy judges go in for that kind of show.

 

[AxeMan]

Top 10, maybe top 5, of all time comedys

It doesn't need an Emmys. When BBT wins them you wouldn't want to be in the same company

Yeah, well, they didn't go for the exact opposite in Parks & Rec, either.

 

[Riddick]

Because Hollywood is full of rich pretentious asshats that would never appreciate ASIP's humor or even if they did they would never admit it.

Also don't think for a moment that shows/movies are being awarded for their quality, it has more to do with lobbying and how much Hollywood would self-congratulate itself if they awarded that movie/show.

 

[rrc1594]

Just finshed re-watching "The Gang Gets Quarantined" and how they gangs finds out they are all alcoholics. It great story telling so shameful this show has no Emmys.

 

[radios shipping overview]

Because it's a relatively small show with modest goals, even if it's consistently great. It doesn't function as a prestige piece and isn't glossy or a blockbuster knockout. These awards shows aren't just popularity contests. They reward commercial outlay and success, productions that generate a lot of jobs and ROI and generate good press and buzz for the business.

Sunny is fantastic and funny as hell, but it's antisocial, cynical, and offensive. I would never want it to change.

 

[Kinyou]

How has Danny Devito not win an emmy yet, dude is great on this show.

The therapist scene was really his Oscar moment.

[jmelons]

I love any and every episode where Charlie sings.

how they gangs finds out they are all alcoholics.

Why not both?

 

[KurtSloane]

They are very, very aware of it

Charlie Day has a great set of pipes.

 

[Dereck]

They are very, very aware of it

loooooooool

 

[HawksWinStanley]

The people in it are not attractive enough.

Not my cup of tea.

Somebody clearly hasn't seen Dennis pop his shirt off.

 

[Madness]

Comedy, especially raunchy comedy, comedy that isn't necessarily 'safe' rarely wins the awards or accolades, even though Sunny has been consistent for almost a decade now. No show is funnier to me, and it's crazy how I still laugh. I was just watching bloopers two days ago and cracking up.

 

[Zach]

How many noms does BBT have? Please say zero.

39...thirty-freaking-nine.

Haha... Amazing.

I think Dee is a very atractive woman.

 

[JCX]

Comedy categories in Emmys and Oscars usually mean "dramas that aren't historical or very dark/bleak".

 

[Lys Skygge]

Because of the implication.

I laughed way too hard at this.

 

[Dereck]

 

[Obscura]

Probably the same reason TPB doesn't...

That probably has more to do with TPB writing being shit. Hilarious because of the characters, not the lazy writing.

Unfortuntely if Charlie Work didn't get them awards attention, nothing will.

 

[Theecliff]

my flatmate introduced me to it about 2 months ago and i've gone through the entire 10 seasons on netflix in that time. incredible show, unbelievably funny at times.

disagree with the idea that the show slumped around the middle. for me it was consistently good, with only a few episodes here and there that weren't exactly on par with the rest (but still funny in there own right - frank's brother episode still got some good chuckles out of me for example). season 6 may have been my favourite season in fact - the gang buys a boat, who got dee pregnant?, the gang gets stranded in the woods, dee gives birth, and a very sunny christmas are all fucking classics.

will probably do a lttp thread in a little while. very excited to see season 11.

Here's what I think.

"You didn't think of the smell you stupid bitch!"

 

[Thug Waffle]

I think it crosses too many lines as far as voters are concerned. It's of high enough quality to win Emmys, imo.

 

[kavanf1]

If you haven't done it already, you should search always sunny bloopers, they show how hard the actors need to work to keep a straight face, and it's pretty much impossible to watch them without bursting with laughter.

This is a good one to start:

[Jason's Ultimatum]

And, uh, one of things I like doing most is banging whores. Uh, yeah, i like to bang a lot of whores.

 

[kinggroin]

Hoo-wores

 

[Soulscribe]

This show switches from being amazing to irritating pretty quickly, it has some of the funniest scenes I've ever seen (Dee's stand up attempt comes to mind) but I can't watch more than two episodes at a time.

 

[shiftplusone]

Vijjo Morgenstern is my favorite throwaway joke

At the library trying so hard not to burst out laughing. spidermangreenwaves.gif

 

[BLOODED_hands]

Dee looks like a bird.

Stupid bird

Dee, you bitch!

Jesus, even in here Dee doesn't get a pass

At least IASIP hangs dong.

 

[Heroman]

The idea that Nightman cometh doesn't have a emmy is insane.

 

[Kurita]

You gotta pay the troll toll to get into the boy's hole

 

[cantthink9]

Best show on tv hands down I've seen every episode too many times

 

[Jason's Ultimatum]

Uh, you gotta pay the toll troll to get into this boy's hole. I was saying, uh, SOUL, he was saying, he thought I was saying boy's HOLE.

 

[bchamba]

I always think of Dennis when the gaffer with the username Dennis posts

 

[DonasaurusRex]

if Dee and Dennis go on welfare doesnt get them an emmy nothing will

but yes i think the show should be awarded in at least the writing / producing , Rickety Cricket who is also the producer is amazing haha.

 

[The Albatross]

They are very, very aware of it

That's amazing

The beginning of this scene is amazing. They really don't give a fuck about anyone's life:
