Greased Lightning | Breaking Down Danny DeVito’s Couch Scene from "It’s Always Sunny”
This one’s… slippery.
Ariel and Morgan break down one of the most chaotic “intimacy” scenes in sitcom history: the moment Danny DeVito crawls out of a couch, naked, sweaty, and reborn, at a Christmas party in It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.
From the logistics of modesty garments to the ethics of public nudity (fictional or otherwise), they dive deep into what happens when comedy, discomfort, and vulnerability collide.
They unpack it all:
- How Danny DeVito pulled off the greasiest birth scene since Ace Ventura
- Why vulnerability and humiliation often overlap in on-screen nudity
- How consent and context change everything, even when it’s for laughs
- And yes, the technical art of looking “fully nude” while staying fully covered
It’s part anatomy of comedy, part anatomy of modesty garments, and somehow… still one of the most body-positive episodes yet.
