In the It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia episode "The Gang Solves the Gas Crisis," Charlie, Mac, and Dennis come up with a plan to take advantage of the rising gas prices and buy excess amounts now to sell in the future and profit. Meanwhile, Dee and Frank try to get ahold of the family fortune from Bruce, who intends to give it to a Muslim cultural center. The episode's hilarious antics and absurd situations make it one of the funniest ever.

The three guys have a great dynamic and their plans to hoard gas has a ridiculous, troll quality. There's also a nice irony in Frank trying to make Bruce look like a terrorist, only to be the one using waterboarding and driving around in a van full of accelerant. The comic-existential humor of the poor random guy who has terrible things continually happen to his car and property due to the gang's idiocy is also a highlight. All of these elements come together in a well-constructed and highly entertaining episode!

The episode was rated 8,14 from 949 votes.

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia - S4E13

#1 - The Nightman Cometh (Staffel 4 - Folge 13)

The Nightman Cometh episode of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia is widely regarded as one of the best episodes of the show, with a rating of 9.1/10. It follows the gang as they help Charlie put together a rock opera based on his song "Nightman". Charlie turns into a high-strung theater director, as he attempts to win the love of the waitress. The episode features everyone in the gang, with Dennis wanting to be the lead and Mac wanting to get reactions from his cat-eye, karate-filled performance.

The musical performance is hilarious and features some great patter between Dee and Dennis. There is also the classic moment between Charlie and Deandra, which left me in stitches. It is a great way to close out Season 4 and is definitely one of the best episodes from the show.

The episode was rated 8,51 from 953 votes.
