Glad he is. Gay mac sounds like it's going to be funnier than it already is. Though, it would have been funny if he continued to claim he wasn't, but then tried to get into prison just so he could use the excuse that there's only guys in there.
shareAre you the only person who didnt know Mac was gay or something?
shareThis show is the spiritual successor Seinfeld. In Seinfeld the characters never changed. Never learned anything. Seems an odd thing to do with Mac.

But they have changed. A lot really. Just compare season 1 gang to the current gang. They have descended into horrible horrible people. Much worse than before. Dee is a great example of this. She started as the shows voice of reason..
shareIn terms of character development Seinfeld and Always sunny couldn't be more different. They all become more insane during the years.
shareMac dated a chick with a dick in the very first season (or was it season 2?)
And you're saying this is coming from nowhere?
The season 11 finale also dealt with Mac coming out - then he went back into the closet again - which is what the gang was saying in this episode

True, but I always gave Mac a pass on that one since Brittany Daniel is super hot. Honestly, if I met Scarlett Johanson with a penis, I might just pull a Mac and "put in my time" until she got it removed. share
The rule with Seinfeld wasn't that they never changed. It was that the characters never grew and evolved into better people. Went hand in hand with the never learned anything rule.
Characters growing and becoming better people had become pretty much a requisite in sitcoms. Seinfeld made themselves the rule that they were NOT going become better people.
Sunny took it a step further. Not only were they not going to become better people, they were actually going to become WORSE people. That's what they mean by "Seinfeld on crack".
Mac has always been gay, but that was never the joke. The joke of Mac's character is that he is in denial, delusional, and incredibly insecure. Him admitting that he is gay does not remove all of his problems. If anything, I'm glad to see that they are moving on from this one-note joke after so many years. Mac admitting that he is gay can open so many doors for him (or closets *nooch*). I'm excited to see where they go with this.

The difference is the gang have all changed, change is good. share
