[[WMG: The McPoyles vs Reynolds court trial was a product of Charlie's imagination immediately after he was humuliated by the lawyer]]

It was the ultimate fantasy for Charlie at the time when he was consumed with humilitation from the lawyer in "The Gang Solves the Real Estate Crisis." Charlie bests the lawyer with Bird Law and the lawyer even suffers bodily harm. Otherwise, how is bird law or any of the ridiculous arguments admissible in court.

[[WMG: Frank has O-Only POCD]]

Some people with obsessive-compulsive disorder fear being pedophiles, even though they are not. More than once, Frank has expressed extreme distress about being mistaken for a pedophile (writing a whole song about how he "doesn't diddle kids" and needing to be out of the playground before kids arrive), but the show never hinte that he's actually attracted to children.

I say "O only" because this seems to be an obsession with no compulsions attached.

[[WMG: Creator/RyanReynolds will cameo.]]

Since Reynolds and Rob [=McElhenney=] have recently acquired a Welsh football club, there's some possibility that they can try and sneak him somewhere in a future season. He can play Mac's new boyfriend.

[[WMG: Rickety Cricket and Poppins will meet and become the best of friends.]]

Come on, these two are born survivors. A defrocked, deranged, perpetually-unlucky ex-priest and a decrepit, scavenging thirty-year-old mongrel whose owner barely cares for him--they belong together. Crick adopting Poppins would make for quite a literal, and touching, case of ThrowTheDogABone.

[[WMG: The continuos {{Flanderisation}} of the Gang ... ]]
... is simply due to their constant drinking. It's actually pretty obvious - anyone drinking this much for this long is guaranteed to suffer some rather unpleasant effects. Some of effects this can have (according to Wikipedia) include impaired development, irritability, antisocial behaviour, depression, anxiety, panic, psychosis, hallucinations, delusions .. remind you of anyone? The way the Gang acts now, in the 11th season, is just the logical consequence after years and years of drinking. This show does have a Status Quo (the Gang can never suceed), but there's also a lot of character development, and since the gang never had to face reality because of Frank's "endless goddamn supply of money", his crazy, depraved antics ''plus'' their excessive consumption of alcohol ''plus'' the occasional drug habit, the showrunners are simply depicting the effects this behaviour had on these characters as straight-forward as possible. Which might also be the reason why the show recieves more and more criticism as the {{Flanderisation}} continues - because watching a person fall apart due to the long-term effects of alcohol consumption simply ''isn't fun''. It might just be SeasonalRot, but it could also be an attempt to show that even though the Gangs weird antics and schemes are pretty fun to watch, their behaviour is seriously harmful to them and others. And even though the fans of the show can really appreciate really, really DarkComedy, there's a real chance there to make this show ''incredibly'' deep as well.

[[WMG: The Waitress' name is Nicki Potnick.]]
We know Nicki is a girl and Frank took her nametag. We know the Waitress couldn't find hers. The fact that the Gang knows of Nicki and apparently hung out with her in high school would be utterly in character with their forgetfulness of... everything about the Waitress.

Charlie wasn't lying when he told everyone that he had cancer in the 4th episode of Season 1. Plus it would be a great callback.

[[WMG: Dennis never came back, the Doll came to life.]]

Another example of the show's reality-bending jokes (similar to Jack Bauer and Patches' immortality), the Dennis Doll came to life from the Gang's collective insanity and has become the ReplacementFlatCharacter so the Gang's equilibrium can be maintained. It's very suspect that the Doll completely disappeared, with Dennis in the exact same position it was in, and that he never explains what happened with the women and his child.

* Frank didn't merely get distracted during "Being Frank" when the doctor mentioned his brain tumor -- he knew about it, and has known about it, for years. It's the reason he joined the gang in the first place -- he wants to go out the worst possible person he can be, no regrets, nothing left undone. It's like AboutSchmidt or TheBucketList, but for a {{Jerkass}}.

It could be in a shocking context, or to satirise attitudes to nudity on television. And if it would be anyone, it'd be Mac, since Rob McElhenny so often does crazy things with his body to make a point. Plus, it'd be very Thundergun!

[[WMG: The finale will conclude with the gang leaving Philadelphia.]]
Eventually, they're going to do something so heinous that it's going to cause the whole city of Philly to chase the group out. With Frank pulling a ScrewThisImOuttaHere by leaving the gang for good, to hide off the grid. All while closing the series out on a BookEnd where the gang ends up where they were in Season One, but in a different city.

[[WMG: Pacific Rim is an alternate version of It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia where the intelligence enhancing pills in Flowers for Charlie were actually real]]
The unnamed scientist is Gottlieb. After Charlies intelligence is increased he loses interest in the waitress, and finds himself unable to connect with the Gang, so he leaves to pursue a career as a Scientist. However still being haunted by his numerous crimes in his life as Charlie Kelly, he manufactures a false identity, renaming himself Newton Geizler.

Eventually Gottlieb begins to correspond with Geizler, unaware of their existing connection. And when they meet in person he realizes that the brilliant scientist he has been communicating with is the uncultured ignorant trash that he had met during his experiment, causing the divide between them. Over the course of the movie Charlie/Newton manages to prove to Geizler that he is genuinely a different person now, and shows him how much he can contribute, mending their divide.

[[WMG: Pappy McPoyle is one of the gods from American Gods]]
* Pappy McPoyle is an old man with a beard and a theatrical style of speaking, just like many depictions of the head deities of several religions. In addition, at one point, Pappy mentions that his children spring fully formed from his loins; much like how the children of gods such as Zeus were created. The eating of the babies may be a reference to Chronos the Titan. Also, Pappy's children are heavily implied to engage in incest with one another, much like the gods of many religions did. Therefore; it may be assumed that when Pappy goes on one of his rants; he is simply providing a literal, factual account of things that he has personally experienced.
