Its Always Funny in Philadelphia

The show I've chosen is It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, the reason I've chosen it is because it fits a lot of stereotypical ideas. The show is about a group of friends who just seem to take advantage of every situation they are given. Every time they run into a different racial group they stereotype them. Each person in the group has a different stereotypical: there is a meat head, a pretty boy, a girl, and an older man who just takes advantage of everyone. The show is about a bunch of white friends doing different things in each episode. Usually they are getting into some kind of trouble. There is only diversity when they bring a guest on the show other than that there isn't much diversity because there are many reoccurring characters. Diversity is important in the media because it shows the differences in people throughout the world. As kids age they need to understand that there are different people with different responses to things.

There is a common stereotype in It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia with the three guys believing that the girl can't do anything because she is a girl. The interesting thing about the show is the girl in it is a very strong feminist, it seems. The three white guys seem to try and take advantage of other people easily but that might just be how they do things. Not because they are white. The main stereotype that is easy to find is the guys stereotyping the girl in the almost every episode. Another stereotype they did is when they were in the ghetto, they passed up an intelligent looking older black man for a homeless white guy when asking for directions.
