Ep 6. The World Series Defense

In It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia season 5 episode 6 titled "The World Series Defense," the gang is busy preparing a legal defense for their infamous "flip cup" game that took place during the Philadelphia Phillies' 2008 World Series win.

The episode starts off with the gang watching the news, where they hear that the city is cracking down on the rowdy celebrations that occurred after the World Series win. This prompts Charlie to realize that they never received any punishment for their flip cup game during the celebrations.

Dennis, being a "golden god," is confident that they can use his charm and manipulation skills to get out of any legal trouble. However, when they attempt to meet with a lawyer, they soon learn that their actions during the celebrations were actually illegal and that they could face serious consequences.

This leads the gang to come up with a plan to defend themselves in court using their own unique logic. They hire a law student, who is impressed by their confidence and willingness to take on the case without any knowledge of the legal system. The gang also goes to extreme lengths to gather evidence that they believe will help them in court, which includes digging up a water hydrant and using it as evidence.

As the trial begins, the gang's defense quickly falls apart as they fail to make a logical argument and instead rely on their own ridiculous reasoning. The judge becomes increasingly frustrated as the trial progresses, and it seems like the gang's fate is sealed.

However, in classic It's Always Sunny fashion, the gang manages to find a way out of their legal troubles through sheer luck and coincidence. They ultimately win the case, despite the judge's objections, and celebrate their victory with a rowdy game of flip cup right outside of the courthouse.

Overall, "The World Series Defense" is a hilarious and over-the-top episode that showcases the gang's incompetence and lack of regard for the law. With its absurd premise and outrageous antics, it's a perfect example of why It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia has become such a beloved cult classic.
