“It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” is back, and it’s wasted no time in reminding us exactly why it’s TV’s longest-running live-action sitcom. The Season 17 premiere, “the gang Fucks Up Abbott Elementary,” delivers a masterful collision with the world of “Abbott Elementary,” turning the tables on the usually chaotic Sunny gang and letting the Abbott teachers embrace a delightfully unhinged side.
The episode cleverly flips the script from “Abbott’s” visit to Philadelphia. What initially appears as frank Thompson’s relentless torment of Mr. Johnson and Gregory’s community garden is revealed to be a cunning distraction. Frank’s true mission? A brazen hunt for copper, culminating in a raid of the boys’ bathroom – a development Ava surprisingly welcomes, as it conveniently aligns with her own plans for renovation.
But the real brilliance lies in how the “Abbott” cast is utilized. Seeing the normally composed Barbara Howard sing is a comedic highlight, while Ava’s sharp-tongued commentary and Jacob’s accidental walk-in on Mac, Charlie, and Frank’s “recruitment” efforts are pure “Sunny” gold.
The episode truly shines with Quinta brunson’s moment to shine. In a brilliant callback to Dee Reynolds‘ character arc in the “Abbott” episode, Janine delivers a shockingly colorful tirade, calling a rival a “total fucking cunt” over a dispute with Gregory. The reaction from Mr. Eddie, mirroring the audience’s stunned amusement, is perfectly timed. When he suggests “bitch” would have sufficed, Janine coolly clarifies, “Bitch can be a very fine dog. That is not what this woman is.”
“The Gang Fucks Up abbott Elementary” is a remarkably prosperous crossover, seamlessly blending the distinct comedic styles of both shows.Whether you were anticipating this collision or were caught off guard, the premiere is a triumphant return to form for “It’s Always Sunny,” proving the series still has plenty of surprises up its sleeve. It’s a win-win: “Sunny” gets to be “Sunny” again, and “Abbott” gets a rare opportunity to explore uncensored comedy.
“it’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” premieres Wednesday, July 9 on FXX. New episodes will be released weekly and available to stream on Hulu the day after they premiere.
How might the stark contrast in values between the *Always Sunny* gang and the *Abbott Elementary* characters satirize the challenges of educational inequality?
