“Seinfeld on Crack” is such an easy way to describe this new FX comedy show. I’ll leave it at that. See it

No. You can’t have your money back. Fine. I’ll give you a little bit of extra detail. I’ll expect extra though.

The setting is a dead-end alley called “Paddy’s Pub”. The “heroes” (Riiiight) are the three owners (Charlie Day), Mac (Rob McElhenney), Dennis (Glenn Howerton) and his waitress sister Dee (Kaitlin Olson). Somewhere along the line Dennis and Dees father (but not really?) Frank (Danny Devito) gets involved as the mastermind. They have adventures. They have some laughs. They are incredibly horrible people.

Remember how Seinfeld had relatively likable people doing horrible things? Well, on this show they aren’t’ likable at all. They’re loud, obnoxious, self centered and stupid. There’s absolutely no limit of their horrid actions these people will go through. The gang tries to pick up chicks at an abortion rally. They try to get black friends to be less racist. They even get addicted to crack.
And that’s just the first two season.

The writers in the third season (who also happen to be the three male stars) feel that there’s no rock bottom. You can always go lower. It’s a good and bad thing. The first two seasons were more or less grounded, but in the third one the plots go completely ape-shit. Dee isn’t sure if her boyfriend is mentally retarded. Dennis becomes a man-whore. Mac becomes a serial killer. Charlie gets addicted to multiple illegal substances.

If none of that raises the mere chuckle, then let me make this clear, Sunny isn’t for you. If you can laugh at the mere plot summary, I’m pleased to tell you that the performers bring it their all to the ARM-WAVING-SCREAMING-BEADY-EYED-MADNESS. Sunny is one of the most laugh out funny shows on Television right now (And FX ordered another 39 episodes) but enjoying it also makes you a bad person.
