Ho, ho, heyooo! Christmas is nearly here and the Paddy’s gang has got the spirit. Well, not really.  For them, the holidays have always been a time of trickery, backstabbing, and disappointment.  But this year things are going to be different as they are determined to rediscover the joy in Christmas.  Join Mac, Charlie, Dennis, Dee and Frank as they embark on a holiday adventure filled with stolen toys, childhood videos, naked elves and a bloody run in with Santa Claus that is guaranteed to blast Christmas spirit all over!

‘Tis the season to be ill-suited. Pop open a bottle and toast to the most deviant, offensive and unwholesome bar owners in “Philly” as they celebrate the holidays in the raunchiest way possible when the never-before-seen It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia: A Very Sunny Christmas exclusively debuts on Blu-ray Disc and DVD November 17 from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment. Compared to “Seinfeld” as one of the most obscene hilarious shows on television, “It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia” combines crude humor with brilliantly unwholesome commentary while touching on highly controversial topics such as politics, abortion and terrorism, in a way that gives “pushing the limits” a new meaning. In the first never-before-seen feature length comedy, follow Mac, Charlie, Dennis, Frank and Dee as they spread their Christmas spirit with inappropriate childhood videos, a bloody encounter with Santa Claus and all the over-the-top, twisted and politically incorrect behavior the city of brotherly love can handle.

With its fifth season set to premiere September 17, the unconventional original series produced by FX Productions, starring creators and writers Rob McElhenney, Glenn Howerton and Charlie Day, as well as comedy legend Danny Devito (“Taxi”) and fan-favorite Kaitlin Olsen, has continued to gain a hardcore fan base with a strong cult following since the series premiere in 1995 and is now up 97% in ratings since its first season.

The special is very funny and even includes a “Rankin/Bass” type of sequence. Rankin/Bass Productions did the old Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and Frosty the Snowman stop-motion animation specials of the 1960s and this sequence is an episode highlight.

The special runs 43 minutes so it’s basically a double length episode with a bigger budget, more profanity, and on the downside there’s Danny DeVito’s naked butt on the screen.

The extras include a few deleted scenes of young Mac and Charlie, an under 10-minute behind the scenes featurette which could have been a bit longer, and a sing-along. It would have been nice to have commentary since this episode is a bit different than anything the series has done before. It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia: “A Very Sunny Christmas” is definitely worth your viewing time.

The It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia: A Very Sunny Christmas Blu-ray Disc and DVD include behind the scenes footage of the cast and crew as they transform Paddy’s Pub into a winter wonderland, home videos of the gang as children celebrating the holidays and a Christmas Carol “Sunny Sing-A-Long.”
