Line 33:
* [[Mary Sue]]: Averted. Though two of the writers play characters named after themselves, their characters are a complete departure from any [[Author Avatar]]. A third writer distances himself from his character by avoiding [[The Danza]].
* [[Nightmare Fuel]]: [[Nightmare Fuel/It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia|It comes with the]] [[Black Comedy]].
* [[Nightmare Fuel Station Attendant]]: Charlie's song "Nightman" makes it sound like he [["It's Not Rape If You Enjoyed It"|wants to be raped]] by a burglar, but Charlie is baffled and offended by the accusation. When the song gets expanded into the musical
* [[Tear Jerker]]: You wouldn't expect it on a show like this, but Charlie's face at the end of "Mac Bang's Dennis' Mom" pulls at the heartstrings.
* [[The Woobie]]: Charlie. He was a failed abortion attempt, grew up with an overprotective and clingy prostitute for a mother, while getting molested and raped by not one but ''two'' different men when he was a child. Besides Mac, his "friends" basically use him and treat him as a [[Butt Monkey]] to improve their own self esteem. His first and only sexual experience with a woman was implied to be traumatic for him. A slew of lifelong emotional and physical traumas may or may not have affected his mental and emotional functioning as an adult. If this wasn't a comedy, Charlie's story alone would make him a [[Tear Jerker]] character.
