A Video Game Takes Over at Paddy’s. Retrospective: It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia – “Charlie Rules the World”
Focusing on a topic that isn’t as laugh out loud funny as those in recent Sunny episodes, the show tackles online gaming, and how easy it is to succumb to the virtual world.

While Mac (Rob McElhenney), Frank (Danny DeVito), Dee (Kaitlin Olson), and Charlie (Charlie Day) are immersed in the game, “Techpocalypse,” Dennis tries to keep a foothold in real life.

Santa, whose real name is Leigh Emerson (Ian McShane), turned evil during his first stint in jail for a petty crime. Can’t say I blame him with what he endured, but he’s gone to the extreme.
