Oh my god. I love it when I learn there is a term like this that perfectly explains what I’ve been trying to say about things like why I used to love It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. We get it, Dennis is probably a sociopath, Mac is gay and confused, Dee is desperate to mean something to someone, and Charlie is really dumb. But it was a lot more fun when all those traits were more nascent and only peaked out from behind their more normal personalities every now and then. Now I can predict how just about every interaction they have will unfold because they’ve found their formula and it’s all they do.
