I really dig that Rob McElhenny, series star/creator of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, gained 50 lbs for the new season 7. Just to shake things up! I somehow missed this news back in August so when the new season premiered on Thursday, I just assumed it was a fine make up job by the IASIP crew. And figured he'd be back in fighting shape by the next episode. You know, how they made Lee "Apollo" Adama fat for a few episodes of Battlestar Galactica and then he was miraculously back in shape after a jump rope montage.
If you don't watch IASIP (one of the best comedies ever), WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?!! Sorry...I meant, if you don't watch it, then you don't know that Rob is normally quite fit. Like this.
The fact that he chose to gain 50 lbs to for the love of his own show and to make it even better and funnier is gutsy, imaginative and hilarious! Kudos to you, Rob!
I'm going to tell everyone that the reason I'm a chub rock is just because I'm trying to make the sitcom that is my life better. Sure, MY season 7 has been going on for about 6-7 years now, but we all have our own process. AMIRITE?
Wow. I got distracted with other shows. I need to go back to this one.
Speaking of poundage, Russ has lost 73 so far. You're not gonna recognize him!
