Over the course of the 13 seasons its been on television, It?s Always Sunny in Philadelphia has been nominated for a criminally scant amount of awards ? despite a cult status and overwhelmingly positive critical reception. The lack of recognition has become a running joke with the series, and it even devoted an entire episode to it with the season nine aptly titled episode: ?The Gang Tries Desperately To Win An Award.? ?So give them a f***cking award,? a title card notes.
