I’d like to take a moment to get personal. Since its launch at the beginning of the year, comedic coverage here at Mikey Likes TV has been limited almost exclusively to How I Met Your Mother and a handful of exceptional premium cable series. And while I do adore Neil Patrick Harris’ implementation of the word “bro” and Bret and Jemaine singing about the similiarites between people and paper dolls (they’re a similar shape), my heart belongs to another.
For the past two years, the brief, sporadic seasons of FX’s It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia have provided me with more pee-your-pants and milk-through-your-nose amusement than anything I’ve ever seen on television. So you can imagine my excitement at this morning’s news that MySpace is hosting a web-exclusive episode to promote Sunny‘s September 13th return to prime time. The episode itself isn’t exceptional, but it does whet the appetite for the 10 glorious half-hours of unabashed obscenity that will soon follow.
Sunny‘s reliance on offensive subject matters is so near and dear to my heart, it’s as if they snuck into my mind and catered each episode to my sick sense of humor. This season’s storylines include babies in dumpsters, sweatshops and promises of love in exchange for drugs – not to mention old standbys like racism and homosexual incest. To make the wait more tolerable, watch the MySpace episode that dissects the anatomy of a serial killer and even boasts a scene of pimp-speak. If that’s still not enough for you, Ducky Does TV has been kind enough to collect all of Sunny’s Apple-inspired advertisements that have been running on FX. September 13th cannot possibly come soon enough.
I have such a crush on Charlie.
