Welcome back to Bleeding Cool's weekly review of FXX's It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, as we offer up our thoughts on a “very special seventh episode” of season 13, ‘The Gang Does a Clip Show.’

We have this long-standing theory about Dennis (Glenn Howerton), Mac (Rob McElhenney), Charlie (Charlie Day), Dee (Kaitlin Olson), and Frank (Danny DeVito) – and from the looks of this week’s episode, it might just get proven right. As screwed-up as they are individually, it’s always been in our best interests (and by “our” I mean “the very fabric of reality”) that they’re constantly self-absorbed and distracted by the “next great idea” because the very thought of the damage that fivesome could inflict if they pulled their brains together for something deep and meaningful is…well…downright marrow-chilling.

And then their smart phones needed to update…at the same time…for thirty minutes. Uh-oh…

So check out our review of FXX's It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia s13e07 ‘The Gang Does a Clip Show’ and see how a show can take a layered approach to themes like identity, perception, memory and reality – and still start off with DeVito’s bare ass.

Spoiler Warnings: I’ll be covering some themes and takeaways involving major and minor plot points from the episode, so just keep that in mind. Definitely not looking for pitchforks and torches outside my apartment.

It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia s13e07 ‘The Gang Does a Clip Show’: With nothing to do while their phones update to the latest software, the gang decides to reminisce on old times. As everyone misremembers events from their past, the gang’s current reality becomes altered.
