My favorite episode

"Charlie Wants an Abortion" is one of the funniest TV shows I've seen in my life as well as my personal favorite episode of "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia". After taking the pro-life side in an argument about abortion Mac goes to a pro-life center to pick up literature about abortion. While there he meets a very sexy pro-life girl who invites him to a rally held at Planned Parenthood. While at the rally the girl has sex with him after he produces a list of abortion doctors with names crossed off of them. Mac tells Dennis that abortion rallies are a great way to meet chicks so he attends the next one with him. Dennis figures out that the pro-choice side will have more women so he goes to that side, but is dishearten to learn most of the women are lesbians. Meanwhile an old flame finds Charlie and tells him that her out of control son Tommy is his child and asks him to take the kid places.

"Charlie Wants an Abortion" is everything "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" should be, it's highly offensive and as un-PC as possible (on TV anyway). And that's why it's so funny. I'm not just talking about giggles either; I'm talking about good, hard laughs and they come frequently. All fans of dark, twisted humor owe it to themselves to check out "Charlie Wants an Abortion", you'll be glad you did.
