    Default Comedy typing - It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia

    Hard to say, but it's hilarious to me. FWIW, it's been called 'Seinfeld on crack'. You've probably noticed I've been inserting video clips here and there. Naturally, whatever types they're representing seem to be caricatures. There are continual themes of internecine competition, ridiculous scheming to get rich, and eccentric moments of closeness that seem to filter into the show in very comical ways.

    I think Te > Ti, Ni > Ne, Se > Si. Overall, I'd lean more towards Gamma, but feast your eyes (though the show's material is notably controversial, so be warned) and post some thoughts if any strike you. At the very least enjoy yourself!

    Sweet! Awesome!

    This should be in the What's My Type section if I wasn't such an SOB.

    I think we must live in the same house or something because we pretty much watch exactly the same shows

    FWIW most of them seem SEI to me (maybe it's just cause I identify so much with them ) especially Charlie. Dee seems ILE but that's probably just cause that's what I think the actress is. For sure a load of alphas though

    I could buy Charlie as an ISFp. I think he's the funniest of the bunch. Dennis as a character for some reason makes me think ENFj. The timing and chemistry between them all is just perfect though.

    I don't know this show. I watched a couple of clips here. I didn't laugh once. Actually it made me a little sad because they are so mean to each other. Usually comedies don't have that effect on me.
    EIE, ENFj, intuitive subtype.
    E3 (probably 3w4)

    Cool ILI hubbys are better than LSIs any time!

    There's still better comedy shows out there but this one 's great nonetheless.

    This show is amazing. I always laugh my ass off and then I feel kind of guilty about it because it's wildly inappropriate, but it's just so funny.

    I think Mac is ILE, Dennis is a Beta extrovert, and Charlie is probably SEE, but I'm the least sure about that one. I really don't have a clue about Dee's type. Beta or Gamma?

    Did you know that in real life Charlie and the waitress are married? lol

    As are Mac and Dee, though not at the time that the show started.

    Oh, I think so too. I forget why I said gamma, other than as a hilarious caricature of.

    bump. i'm addicted... these people remind me of my dad's side of the family, who incidentally live in philly and jersey. they're mostly beta.

    idk what type they are, dennis is clearly a sociopath and its hilarious. actually there's a lot of mild sociopathic humor... just kind of scheming.

    their decisions and adventures are pretty retarded, fucked up, and illogical, but it almost seems like they have their own code to it all.

    aristocratic too, no? arguing over who gets to be in the gang, etc. its pretty much them vs normal people
    maybe a saint is just a dead prick with a good publicist
    maybe tommorow's statues are insecure without their foes

    I love this show, but I hate Seinfeld. This show seems to have a mix of alpha, beta, gamma, with a void of delta. Seinfeld is really alpha biased.

    I mean... Ok but your profile pic is a picture of one stick figure poking another stick figure in the eye and I assume it's being presented as humorous.

    I agree, I love always sunny, but when I tried to think of what quadra best sums it up all I could think of was "not delta".

    Charlie Ne/Si > Ni/Se
    Dennis - E**J
    Mac - Ti-ego
    Dee - Static - Aristocratic

    If i were to guess, i'd guess
    IEE - Charlie
    EIE - Dennis
    SLE - Mac
    EII - Dee
    Projection is ordinary. Person A projects at person B, hoping tovalidate something about person A by the response of person B. However, person B, not wanting to be an obejct of someone elses ego and guarding against existential terror constructs a personality which protects his ego and maintain a certain sense of a robust and real self that is different and separate from person A. Sadly, this robust and real self, cut off by defenses of character from the rest of the world, is quite vulnerable and fragile given that it is imaginary and propped up through external feed back. Person B is dimly aware of this and defends against it all the more, even desperately projecting his anxieties back onto person A, with the hope of shoring up his ego with salubrious validation. All of this happens without A or B acknowledging it, of course. Because to face up to it consciously is shocking, in that this is all anybody is doing or can do and it seems absurd when you realize how pathetic it is.

    Dee - IxE, atypical
    Dennis - EIE
    Mac - ILE
    Charlie - IEE
    Frank - A bizarre LSE
    The Waitress - LSI
    Cricket - EII
    Charlie's Mom - SEI

    The overall vibe is Beta/Alpha
