Vote up the gang's plots and schemes that truly call into question their sense of right and wrong.
There's no arguing that the central characters of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia are rude, crude, and downright vile. The shenanigans that Charlie, Dee, Dennis, Frank, and Mac get themselves into just prove this fact over and over again. The gang's self-obsessed and sociopathic actions often snowball out of control, wrapping them up in situations that no human would ever deem to be morally correct or socially appropriate.
Fans of the series can ponder all they want about the intentions or motives of the Paddy's Pub-dwelling misfits, devising a slew of It's Always Sunny fan theories, but the truth of the matter is that they're all way too wrapped up in their own heads to care about what anyone else thinks about them.
When Frank throws in the towel at the bar, he turns over all his shares to the gang. Frank's firstborn child is in line to take over, but Charlie and Dennis argue over which of them fits the bill. There's a dispute over whether or not Frank is really Charlie's father, but he refuses to take a paternity test to prove who is right.
Desperate to compare the DNA, Charlie and Dennis decide to siphon blood from Frank while he's sleeping. Draining him of nearly all of his vital fluids, they take their sample in for testing. The results are far from acceptable, as the results show the DNA of four humans and one animal.

Regardless of the new dog, Dennis and Mac both start to lose their minds. Eventually, Dennis Jr. perishes and Mac is left with the task of burying it. However, that night over dinner, he informs Dennis he has changed his mac and cheese recipe - hinting that, instead of using farmed meat, he used dog meat from Dennis Jr.

To make the ceremony more realistic, the gang gives eulogies for the baby, and Dee puts so much chili powder in her eyes to fake her crying that her eyes start to bleed.

Episode: "Mac and Dennis: Manhunters" (Season 4, episode 1)
Frank keeps getting his food stolen and has had enough of the gang taking his meals. When Charlie and Dee decide to chow down on some of Frank's steak, he tells them they have just consumed human meat. Not wanting to believe it was actually from a human, Charlie and Dee's insatiable hunger for the meat lures them out to every corner of Philadelphia to find a comparable taste.
Giving in to their cravings, they settle on the fact that they have eaten human meat and are now cannibals. They attempt to obtain human flesh at the morgue, then decide to eat Rickety Cricket. In the end, Frank admits the steak they ate came from a raccoon, and their hunger is probably from being infected with a tapeworm.
