It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia literally has had a decade worth of jokes: On January 6, the beloved show about a gang of mean-spirited, scheming sociopaths comes back for its 11th season. And while the best way to understand the dark magic of this hilariously offensive show is by getting lost in its beer-fueled wonderland, we’re also happy to recall the jokes Sunny comes back to again and again. From making fun of Sweet Dee to making fun of Mac (see a pattern?), here are our 8 favorite recurring bits from our favorite Philadelphians.

Sweet Dee’s a Bird

Although we’ve yet to see the gang genetically test Deandra for being an actual feather-covered creature, it never stopped the guys from calling Sweet Dee a bird for years. The gang is so used to viewing the failed comedian as a bird that they start… well, seeing her as an actual bird. At least Mac does in season six’s episode “Who Got Dee Pregnant.” Dee better watch out for her so-called-friends: shall we remind her that her legal father Frank Reynolds once ate a crow?

Mac’s Real Name

Mac has always been a man of many mysteries (just keep reading our list), and one of the biggest secrets the show kept under wraps for a long time was his real name. It wasn’t revealed until the seventh season’s “The High School Reunion” episode that saw the gang heading back to school in order to fight some of their teenage demons (and obviously fail miserably and hilariously). At least we’ve got to learn Mac’s real name, which we won’t mention here for spoiler purposes. But you can see it in the video above. Yes, we know how to scheme, too!

Charlie Loves The Waitress

Surely when you find the love of your life you don’t need to know that person’s name? Her occupation will be more than enough, at least according to the Paddy’s Pub co-owner and most emotional member of this dysfunctional community, Charlie. The object of Charlie’s unhealthy obsession was introduced in the first season of the show and stayed for its whole run. Or more like Charlie made her stay: Charlie Day got a bit luckier than his on-screen persona and went as far as marrying The Waitress (Mary Elizabeth Ellis) in real life. Will we ever see Charlie Kelly tying the knot with the nameless waitress in the show? Who knows really, but one thing is certain: Charlie would need more than one Ecstasy pill as proven by the “The Gang Goes to the Jersey Shore” riot of an episode.

Mac’s Gay

By this point it’s not just a running joke or an insinuation but almost a fact. Charlie did say in the “Mac Day” episode of the ninth season, “I know we've never said this as a group, but Mac's gay.” But discovering Mac’s homosexuality was one hell of a ride. Throughout the series he has dated a pre-op transgender woman, was constantly trying (and failing) to prove he’s a real “badass,” was making his friends oil male bodybuilders and even got turned on once while preaching about the wrongs of homosexuality. Will we ever see the Paddy’s Pub hosting its first gay marriage? The bar did host a dog’s funeral once, so the space has already proven its flexibility.

Is Frank Charlie’s Real Dad?

Frank and Charlie share way too many similar lifestyle choices to be just friends and roommates. Their obsession with living in absolute filth has got to be genetic! And although Charlie’s mom was known to get around quite a bit, it’s a safe bet that Frank and Charlie share more than the custom of urinating in old coffee cans. Will we ever know if we’re right? Only if Frank will stop refusing taking a paternity test. Maybe a rum ham may finally convince him to acknowledge his own son?

Dee’s a Grobanite

Sweet Dee may be making love to a lot of men, but her heart belongs to one guy only —Josh Groban. In season six’s episode, “Mac’s Mom Burns Her House Down,” we learn that Dee and her so-called-actress friend Artemis Dubois are long-time “Grobanites” and dream of attending a Groban concert. Obviously the gang’s scheme prevents Dee from seeing the man of her dreams. At least mister Groban pays her a visit in season nine’s “The Gang Saves The Day’” and even writes her a song that goes “She’s got blonde hair, she’s perfect in every way. Feet—not too large, not too small. Blonde hair, she’s gorgeous not like a bird. But like a beautiful woman, definitely not like a bird.” Too bad it was just a dream!

Frank’s Got a Gun

Frank Reynolds’ got a lot of bad habits. But he’s also got a gun, so a lot of people are obligated to deal with his devious plans. After years of constantly pulling his gun out, in season nine’s “Gun Fever Two: Still Hot,” Frank has finally decided to get his message across the whole community and went on TV promoting gun ownership and splitting the gang in two, while Dennis and Dee wished the streets were cleared of guns, Mac and Charlie suggested the streets need more guns. Who said the gang doesn’t like to get political?

Lethal Weapon 5 & 6

The gang likes to get creative, too. At least when it means shooting sequels to their beloved franchise Lethal Weapon. The Philadelphia-produced fifth movie in the film series was hinted in season six’s “Mac’s Fights Gay Marriage” and later premiered in all of its filmmaking glory in “Dee Reynolds: Shaping America’s Youth.” The screening of the film may have cost Dee her job as a substitute teacher, but at least the gang had fun shooting it. So much fun that ninth season saw the release of “The Gang Makes Lethal Weapon 6” episode. Because, unsurprisingly, the gang will use any opportunity to use blackface.
