    I stopped watching when they were mocking one of the characters for having an anxiety disorder. The writing and structure are clever, but that show punches down way too much.

      That reminds me of the time I stopped watching always sunny in Philadelphia because they made fun of a guy with rickets. let’s keep it above the belt comedy shows. No cheap shots.

        Always Sunny is almost nothing but cheap shots, and it consistently makes me laugh and then feel bad about said laughing.

      The show is about terrible people. You’re not supposed to think what they do is acceptable. If they only did acceptable things, you’d have a hard time believing they were the terrible people that the show is supposed be about.

      It seems you missed the entire point of the show

      That’s the point. Just like with the price of bananas, the show pokes fun at how old money families can be so disconnected from reality.
