60. Danny DeVito, Everybody | The Always Sunny Podcast

[@TheAlwaysSunnyPodcast]

Creeps, we know it’s hard to pick just one - what are your favorite Frank Reynolds moments from Always Sunny?

[@brandonc4985]

Being Frank is my all time favorite episode.

[@Johnson09641]

Definitely when he was a Boat tour guide

[@ronnnie663]

1) Rum-ham on the Jersey Shore 2) Frank's Wolf Cola is funding terrorists 3) Frank offering an egg in trying times

[@mariadelrio8570]

When he wants to marry a whooooore!

[@krazysane]

when he is smoking from the bong and asks d to download a hoagie

[@evanh1205]

it’s so easy to forget Danny is 78. Then He just goes “ do u guys have any cookies🙂” randomly in the middle of a podcast that shit was so wholesome

[@JackWhitehead1]

Can you imagine it from their point of view. Their show, that had been their personal project for years, was about to be cancelled and they were literally given, by their employers, the choice between axing the show or hiring a-star actor danny devito who had personally indicated his will to contribute to the one-season show. And then they obviously choose to continue the program by bringing him in and he immediately vibes with them and adds to it in fundamental ways and it grows to the next level. Man it's so good how it all turned out. Literally struck gold by having creative showwriters all in the flow of a creative moment and in coordination with each other and then adding the massive boon of an a-list actor who vibes with them all creatively... And now 18 years later it's been each of their main projects. For massive portions of their lives.

What amazes me about Danny is that despite his age, his comedy feels very fresh. He may not be using the lingo and all that, but he just jumped on a podcast with people 35 years younger than him and he was mixing it up. And what he was saying was funny, interesting, and didn't feel out of touch. He gets it.

[@thenewyearsgrinch]

Yeah, i think many legendry actors his age want to appear cool and dignified. And they just end up being boring. Danny's truly DNGAF. Completely down for whatever regardless of how he appears on screen. My zoomer housemate and I constantly quote: "Suicide is Badass".

Rob saying "there's a voice i grew up with" really hit the nail on the head. Danny has been in tv shows, movies, and voiced countless characters from my childhood, into my adolescences, and now in my adulthood. Not many actors you can say that about.

It is impossible to find that DeVito SNL monologue on KZbin. I had to go to Peacock to see it, but it was worth it! It was just as emotional as Danny described it. If you're looking for it, it's SNL Season 7, episode 19 - May 15, 1982.

[@tlsoares498]

Its amazing to see how excited and passionate Danny is about Sunny because it shows how highly he regards his castmates and vice versa. When he talks about staying resilent and continuing to push when ratings or viewership is not there yet, it shows the importance of courgage and conviction. Best show and spectacular group of gentlemen.

[@mattb.4333]

My favorite Frank moment was in Frank's Little Beauties when he tries to make up the song in the back office about not diddling kids. The song was great but him huffing and puffing afterward and saying he has a headache was just comedic gold. He give so much nuance to his characters and that is what makes him so funny, throughout his entire career. Throw Momma From the Train and Death to Smoochy are absolute treasures that he absolutely nails the performance.

[@sfcd4757]

[@robbienapalm]

Mine too, fella. So many genuine 10/10 Frank moments, but that song, the anxiety within the delivery of it, the lyrics and the state of his nose is in my top 2 comedy scenes ever. If anyones interested my other favourite comedy scene is Rimmer from Red Dwarf in Demons and Angels where he walks down the stairs and says 'looking for someone...'

I think what I love most about Always Sunny is the fact that they write these filthy, vile characters who do deranged, hilarious stuff, but whenever we see them offscreen they're such sweet guys. Rob clearly adores Kaitlin, Danny is so caring, it's just so lovely to see.

His "Penguin roll" is so good its messed up that he is a human and not a perfect animated robot who just happens to act like a demon. give him a big hug from all us. He lives forever no matter what.
