So many of the entertainment industry’s most influential figures have been surprisingly eager get in on the It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia action — too bad none of them are Emmys voters.

Despite its lack of awards recognition, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia is, inarguably, one of the most widely celebrated sitcoms of the modern era. It’s also the longest running live-action American sitcom in TV history, and, in that time, Rob McElhenneyCharlie Day and Glenn Howerton have invited many of the world’s most recognizable celebrities to sink to their level and see how low they can really go in Philly. 

Lately, it’s seemed like everyone is trying to rewrite Frank Reynolds’ classic single “It’s No Good Diddling Kids,” but no one is trying to learn from it.

If you were to poll 100 average Americans on the question of, “What’s the best way for a celebrity to deny public allegations of grooming and pedophilia?” Family Feud style, the only way you’d get a single response of “in a song” is if Charlie Kelly was a part of the sample size. That’s exactly why, in the iconic It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia episode “Frank Reynolds’ Little Beauties,” Frank’s insistence that the gang needs to write and perform a song about how molesting children is wrong to add to their child beauty pageant is one of the all-time funniest jokes on the show.
