* DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale: Deconstructed, as while the characters believe it, the narrative doesn't. Dee's brand of SerialRapist (browbeating men as a way of coercion) is seen as just as fucked up as her brother's, plus after the reveal that she sexually assaulted Charlie he doesn't want to be alone with her anymore. Also Dennis was raped by his high school librarian, with some kind of abuse from Barbara, and while he says repeatedly women can't rape men, both have clearly warped him terribly.

** Mac gets to one hilariously quickly in, of all things, a debate over how they should slice limes for the bar:
--->'''Mac''': Charlie, Charlie, take emotion out of it.\\
'''Frank''': Charlie's right! One of the cornerstones of Paddy's Pub is thick limes!\\
'''Charlie''': Yeah, don't tell me what to do!\\
'''Mac''': [''jumping up and advancing on Charlie''] I'M GONNA PUT MY THUMB THROUGH YOUR EYE YOU LITTLE BITCH!

* PrettyFlyForAWhiteGuy: L'il Kev from "Sweet Dee is Dating a Retarded Person". However, he is portrayed much more sympathetically than the main cast.

** Played straight and then subverted for Shelley, Charlie's estranged dad. After he dies Charlie tries his hardest to honor his memory and complete his arduous LastRequest for his remains, despite his complicated feelings about him. After it proves too difficult he has an angry crying rant at him for never being there. Charlie says he's glad he's dead because now he won't have to wait for him to show up anymore. He later tells the rest of the gang the guy was a deadbeat and he wants to forget about him and go home.

** The episode "The Erotic Life of Dennis Reynolds" has a scene where Mac and Frank are sitting in a theater after part of their scheme to make [[ItMakesAsMuchSenseInContext Dennis appear to be Jon Bon Jovi's sexual advisor]] where they talk loudly, point a laser pointer at the screen, argue with each other, fight with another theater goer, and answer calls from Dennis to get him out of rehab.

** [[spoiler: Country Mac]] ends his appearance by taking a swig of his beer and [[BadassBiker riding into the distance on his motorcycle]] before tipping off the bike and falling to the ground. He's going slow enough that the gang speculate out loud that he seems to have taken a bit of a spill, but he should be okay. SmashCut to his funeral...

* ComedicWorkSeriousScene: This show is a BlackComedy centered around five UnsympatheticComedyProtagonist "friends" who are horrible people. However, the episode "[[Recap/ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphiaS13E10MacFindsHisPride Mac Finds His Pride]]" deals with Mac trying to find himself as a gay person and it's played very seriously. The episode ends with him finally coming out to his dad and performing an interpretive dance to express himself but is rejected. But it also has Frank, seen as the most depraved member of the group and who in the entire episode has been uncaring in Mac's plight, [[PetTheDog showing legit empathy for Mac and applauding his performance]].

Added DiffLines:

** Dennis might get the most, mostly to do with him being a very dark depiction of someone broken by childhood sexual abuse; sadly telling Frank he has a massive god hole that he can only fill with sex, choking down tears as he mixes "cougars" up with "librarians", TryingNotToCry as he admits to the others he has emotions that hurt him, and multiple dreams where he either desexualises himself to get looked after or realizes his Implication/Systems were how he felt as a kid.

** Similarly, "[[Recap/ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphiaS15E08TheGangCarriesACorpse The Gang Carries a Corpse Up a Mountain]]" has some long-needed catharsis for Charlie's father issues, featuring him having a fairly moving breakdown over having been abandoned, only for the gang to show up (after themselves abandoning him earlier) and be uncharacteristically supportive of him as he performatively gets some closure on the issue.

** "Ass Kickers United: Mac and Charlie Join a Cult" has some dim-witted cult members being bossed around by the gang, culminating with Dennis commanding a follower to immolate himself, which he does off screen. It is strongly implied that the man burns to death while the gang ignores him to focus on a petty argument.
