The entire cast of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia
We enjoy watching them because they are horrible people who never really succeed at what they are trying to do. I don't think anyone would want to hang out with them.
That was basically the premise of Seinfeld.
Seinfeld characters are whimsical. This not true of Its Always Sunny where they are at best, degenerates.
George is whimsical?
George is entirely built on the premise of doing minor things that a normal person wouldn't consider doing: he's a fictionalized Larry David, and ‘almost everything’ of his antics comes from David's real experiences. As you probably know, David later did another whole show on the same premise: ‘Curb Your Enthusiasm’.
My favorite story from the cast is when Jason Alexander was talking with Larry David about a particularly unlikely scenario, saying he was having trouble relating as a character to something that would never happen to anyone. David said "What are you talking about? This happened to me." It was then that Alexander realized that George is Larry, and he stopped doing George as Woody Allen.
That happens to be the video that I linked. Alexander then provides some more musings on Larry David and the nature of ‘Seinfeld’ and ‘CYE’.
IASIP was marketed as "Seinfeld on crack"
Quite literally, at times.
I'm continually amazed that characters of ‘Seinfeld’ are considered awful, while those in ‘Friends’ are supposedly fine. The latter are prime fit for an answer to this post, if one digs into their morals a little.
Definitely not the main characters, but I'd love to hang out with Artemis.
I love this show and can confirm, they are the worst
I hate this show because they're the worst.
