While the early seasons of "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" specialized in
taking things a few steps too far, the past few seasons have just been
completely insane. From Charlie lying to his family about child molestation to Sweet Dee chowing down on some cat food so she will “feel kind of sick and tired and fall asleep,” here are 15 of the most memorable moments from "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.”

Dee’s first dry heave while performing open-mic stand-up is quite possibly one of the funniest moments in the history of television.
Season 3 Episode 9 - "Sweet Dee's Dating A Retarded Person"
It's all in the details: the silver spray paint on Charlie's face a la Citizen Ruth, the way Dennis loves the preset drum beat on his cheap keyboard, and, of course, the actual song itself. Truly one of the dumbest, most amazing things ever set to music.
