I want to know why Mac is so fat

 

[Mook]

god i fucking hope so (to the bolded part)

Series co-creator Rob McElhenney, who stars as the self-absorbed, very vain Mac on the show, gained 50 pounds for the upcoming season, creating a juicy storyline which sees his character try to deal with the sudden onset of obesity. But his intention wasn't just to nail some easy fat jokes; at the Television Critics Association tour over the weekend, McElhenney said he was trying to make a statement with his expanded waistline.

"It came when I was watching a very popular sitcom, and I noticed the people were getting better and better looking as the seasons were going on," McElhenney said (via TV Guide). "I always thought that what we were trying to do on Sunny was the deconstruction of the sitcom."

To get there, McElhenney said that he ate 5,000 calories a day; he has since lost 20-25 pounds, but is still a far ways from his old weight.

Its a similar sentiment to one he gave to Collider in July, and part of a larger theme for the show. Operating on a tight budget, the crew, which also includes Charlie Day, Glenn Howerton and Katilin Olson, tried to bring the sitcom back to its basics.

"Our philosophy from the very beginning is when you're making a situation comedy that it really is just a group of people sitting in a room talking to each other," McElhenney (via The Hollywood Reporter). "We thought, 'Well, let's just figure out a way to do that as cheap as possible... we just wanted to break it down to its basics."

I didn't really have a problem with any of the seasons. Sure there are eps that are funnier than others but it's always been worth watching imo.

 

[Yaj Yak]

ho muh gawd he's huge.

 

[Mook]

the issue i took with the show was the massive amount of product placements and how they were just trying too hard imo. they didnt seem like they were having fun.

 

[Bru]

I didn't watch much of the last season. Hope they can get that charm from the first few.

 

[Bru]

The initial promos are looking hilarious.

 

[Gypsy]

You don't like the promos??

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

Mac packing on massive amounts of mass.

 

[Primalzer]

I thought that the best episode so far was the musical episode, and it kinda has gone downhill from there. I'll watch this season to see if it really starts to get good again.

 

[DanJ]

I just hope they go back to Dave and Busters, for some Coors Light that is as cold as the rockies.

[Bob Kazamakis]

Last season had some gems.

Charlie Kelly king of the rats
Dee shaping Americas youth
Mac and Charlie: white trash

 

[Pressure Ratio]

I have the DVR set for the season. But I will be watching Thursday for sure.

I can't wait to see where they take 'fat Mac' this season. I like the reason he is doing this. It gets harder in life to stay in shape as you get older. Unless you are a TV or movie star. Then you have the time and means to get in better shape. lmao. j/k Well kind of. After all, that is the point Rob is trying to make. But they should have all kinds of new material with this.

 

[IDAFC21]

I will definitely be watching.

 

[Mook]

Good god I didn't think it was possible for DeVito to get creepier but i was wrong

"what are you cocks looking at?"

 

[Mook]

Diabetis

 

[Mook]

Wtf puking blood??? Hahahahahahahaha. This episode is so awesome.

Elvin from the Cosby show

 

[IDAFC21]

Devitos hair just gets crazier and crazier as the years go by

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

His hair was epic!

Elvin was in the football tryout episode too

Fat Mac's debut was great 50lbs is a lot....his gut was gigantic
He was taking some giant insulin injections

 

[DanJ]

That was an awesome season premier. I was when Charlie was projectile vomiting blood all over his date.

 

[IDAFC21]

Just watched it again.
