Spoilers forward for the Season 17 premiere of It is At all times Sunny in Philadelphia on FXX, referred to as “The Gang F***s Up Abbott Elementary” and accessible streaming now with a Hulu subscription.
It is At all times Sunny in Philadelphia is formally again on FXX for Season 17, practically two years after Season 16 resulted in late July 2023. Followers did get an early take a look at the gang in motion again within the spring of the 2025 TV schedule with the primary half of a crossover with ABC’s Abbott Elementary. Naturally, the Gang’s ordinary model of crude humor was toned down on ABC, however they may very well be again at their worst again on their house community. I knew I might rely on the principle characters getting as offensive as ordinary exterior of community TV, however I did not anticipate Janine (Quinta Brunson) to begin dropping some very non-ABC phrases out of frustration with Dee (Kaitlin Olson)!
The premise of the At all times Sunny half of the crossover was that Ava (Janelle James) found some hidden footage of the Gang within the halls of Abbott that did not make the minimize of the Abbot Elementary half of the crossover. Whereas the documentary format was uncommon for the FXX sequence, the schemes felt completely according to what we might anticipate from the characters: Dennis (Glenn Howerton) was on a espresso campaign, Frank (Danny DeVito) wished to steal the copper pipes from the college’s partitions with Mac (Rob Mac, the artist previously often known as Rob McElhenney) alongside for the journey, Charlie (Charlie Day) wished to make music, and Dee wished to be a star… by stealing Gregory (Tyler James Wilson) and beginning a struggle with Janine.
I spent the early minutes of Dee and Janine’s subplot questioning what Excessive Potential followers presumably tuning in to At all times Sunny for the primary time considered Kaitlin Olson as Dee versus the good Morgan, however an interview between Janine, Gregory, and the unseen cameraman shocked me a lot that I am nonetheless glad I wasn’t consuming or consuming something on the time. Janine obtained more and more offended about all issues Dee, to the purpose that she dropped some language that may by no means ever aired with out some critical bleeping on ABC. She stated:
I favored Dee at first, however issues obtained awkward when she tried to steal you… Protected to say I favored her much less after that. However it wasn’t till I noticed the additional footage that I used to be in a position to understand simply how a lot of a… I have to say a foul phrase. It is actual dangerous. How a lot of a complete fucking cunt she was!
Inform us how you actually really feel, Janine! Gregory appeared about as shocked as I felt at his girlfriend’s vocabulary, stammering out that he thought Janine was going to name Dee a “bitch,” however Janine doubled down by saying she “did not really feel that was sturdy sufficient” as a result of it could actually additionally discuss with a “very fantastic canine [and] that’s not what this lady is.”
I needed to snigger after my second of shock at Janine dropping these phrases that she by no means might on ABC (and my reduction that I did not have a drink to spit take), as a result of it was a fairly nice gag. She was additionally not the one one benefiting from the FXX platform, with Ava specifically having enjoyable with some very non-network TV language.
Jacob (Chris Perfetti) wasn’t swearing up a storm in comparison with others, however I did get a kick out of the At all times Sunny gang being so chaotic that he was the straight man to their shenanigans. And truthfully, these lecturers do not even know the way nice Charlie’s lyrics to his rewrite of “We Did not Begin the Hearth” had been, as they by no means witnessed The Nightman Cometh or any of his different musical endeavors.
All in all, I 100% anticipated that the At all times Sunny half of the crossover with Abbott Elementary can be much more unhinged on the Gang’s FXX turf, nevertheless it was nonetheless hilariously jarring to see how fed up Janine was with Dee with no useful ABC bleep to melt the language.
If you happen to missed the Season 17 premiere of It is At all times Sunny in Philadelphia (or the Abbott Elementary Season 4 episode that kicked off the two-part crossover), you possibly can catch up streaming on Hulu now.
