WOW THEY'RE DOING IT WRONG SERIES

Some people know that theyвЂ™re not nice and can admit it. I mean, everybody thinks theyвЂ™reвЂ¦ No, thatвЂ™s not true actually. Apparently, the people want to know if Glenn Howerton is nice. I enjoy checking on what people are Googling when it comes to someone IвЂ™m about to talk with.

WOW THEY'RE DOING IT WRONG SERIES

We spoke with Howerton about all of the above, taking aim at absurdities across the ideological spectrum, the GangвЂ™s Ireland-set misadventures, and the challenge of topping themselves as they continue making this once improbable but now-iconic series (which airs Wednesdays on FXX and streams on FX On Hulu the next day). Including Dennis ReynoldsвЂ™ nefarious sex face. What does Howerton like? Pink Floyd (a fact revealed while discussing how much he seems to hate The Beatles), working and now podcasting with the same group of collaborators ( Rob McElhenney and Charlie Day) for going on two decades, and doing self-described weird and villainous stuff to get a laugh. вЂњI often find it offensive because itвЂ™s just not fucking funny,вЂќ he says. But it also has something to do with efforts to push boundaries without purpose. To wit, Howerton isnвЂ™t a big fan of the kind of supposedly edgy comedy that some might view as a comp for Always Sunny, partly because characters in those projects donвЂ™t face consequences. вЂњItвЂ™s funny because itвЂ™s so awful, and itвЂ™s exactly what youвЂ™re not supposed to do.вЂќ вЂњI donвЂ™t think we were quite as good at this in the early seasonsвЂ¦ making it clear that the writers of the show arenвЂ™t saying that this behavior is funny because we like it and we stand by it,вЂќ says Howerton. ItвЂ™s a message that may not have always been evident to some. Instead, theyвЂ™re supposed to be the butt of the joke, led astray by their ignorance and egos.

But in our recent conversation, ItвЂ™s Always Sunny In Philadelphia co-creator and star Glenn Howerton makes it clear that the characters he and his long-time collaborators play in the now 15-seasons-deep comedy arenвЂ™t heroes. Dysfunctional idolatry is all the rage with brashness often mistaken for boldness here in what passes for reality.
