The Gang Gets Dee-booted: A Rundown on It's Always Sunny's Missing Episodes
The Paddy's Pub crew is known for pushing boundaries, but apparently, they pushed a few too far for some streaming services. That's right, jabronis, there are episodes of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia that are MIA on certain platforms. But fear not, because we're here to crack open a metaphorical Fight Milk and unpack this whole situation.

The Blackface Debacle: Where Did These Episodes Go?
It all boils down to a handful of episodes containing racial humor that hasn't aged well, particularly the use of blackface and brownface. Dee Reynolds's infamous character, Martina Martinez, anyone? Yeah, not exactly award-winning social commentary. These episodes were deemed too edgy for today's audiences, so they got the boot from streaming services like Hulu and Netflix.
So, how many episodes are we talking about? Buckle up, because it's a whopping five episodes that have been relegated to the digital dumpster.
Here's the unfortunate list, if you're curious (but maybe stock up on some rum ham for emotional support before diving in):
Tip: Bookmark this post to revisit later.
- Season 4, Episode 3: America's Next Top Paddy's Billboard Model Contest (Dee as Martina strikes again!)
- Season 6, Episode 9: Dee Reynolds: Shaping America's Youth (This one probably involves a questionable "cultural exchange" project.)
- Season 8, Episode 2: The Gang Recycles Their Trash (Recycling is great, but maybe not this kind...)
- Season 9, Episode 9: The Gang Makes Lethal Weapon 6 (Blackface alert!)
- Season 14, Episode 3: Dee Day (Here's hoping Dee learned her lesson by now...)
But Wait, There's More (Shady Characters)!
Now, these episodes aren't completely gone from the internet. If you're the determined type (or a hardcore fan with a questionable moral compass), you might be able to unearth them in the far corners of the web. But be warned, venturing into those territories can be just as dangerous as letting Charlie cook.
Here's the thing: The humor in these episodes might have been edgy back then, but today it can be hurtful and insensitive. It's Always Sunny is still a hilarious show, but maybe skip these particular episodes and stick to the ones where the gang is just tormenting each other instead.

Easy! Focus on the gang's dysfunctional brilliance, their hilariously awful schemes, and their utter lack of self-awareness. There's more than enough Sunny-ness to go around, even without the blackface.
