If correct, however, this hunch may prove to be more than just a theory, serving as both a clever easter egg to one of Sunny‘s biggest influences/the show boasting the most detested series finale in all of sitcom history – Seinfeld. Featuring the pals finding themselves on trial for breaking a good samaritan law, Seinfeld ends with pretty much everyone Jerry, Kramer, Elaine, and George have ever wronged testifying against them as character witnesses in court, including Mr. Pitt, Babu Bhatt, and even the Soup Nazi, leading to the series’ protagonists ending up in jail. USA Today dubbed it a “slow, smug exercise in self-congratulation.” Entertainment Weekly‘s Ken Tucker called it “off-key and bloated.” Hell, my aggressively midwestern dad described it as “horrible,” turning off the TV and walking away, vowing to never view another episode of the sitcom ever again. Despite these scathing critiques from renowned publications, reviewers, and well, Howard Tennes alike, the ending of Seinfeld isn’t bad, per se – it’s the right ending for the wrong show, a notion that Sunny could avenge.
As many have noted over the years, Seinfeld and Sunny represent two sides of the same conceptual coin. Seinfeld is about nothing with the character’s status as a bunch of raging assholes playing second fiddle to its signature inconsequentiality. Sunny, on the other hand, is the opposite. While the characters have notably stagnated throughout their decade and change at Paddy’s Pub (sans Mac coming out as gay in season 12 and the occasional references to Dennis marrying IRL Catwoman, the now-deceased Maureen Ponderosa), the show hinges on the fact that the gang is a group of terrible, terrible people, who will happily f–k over each other for their own personal gain.
'It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia' Could Be A Mulligan For Seinfeld's Despised Finale
