Now with 100% more AI slop

I think it's just marketing. https://decider.com/2026/07/15/its-always-sunny-philadelphia-iasip-poster-ai/
I'm guessing they'll have an episode this season about AI.

Color me skeptical.

The characters look like classic 3D scans of the actors, but the text underneath each character is sure suspect to me.

Nah, the characters look like slop as well.

Something about it really seems full of the type of imperfections that you get from 3D scans, which are imperfections that you would not expect to see when asking an LLM to generate a depiction of a character. I do think those 3D scans were heavily manipulated, possibly even by passing the images through a slop filter of some sort. But I do think this image did start out as the five actors sitting and having their heads scanned using traditional 3D scanning. Any slop was just added on top of that.
I don't think this image was created by someone asking an LLM a bunch of variations of "create an image of the gang as beer handles". I think it started with traditional 3D scanning techniques and may or may not have had additional AI-assisted manipulation on top of that.

10 is better than 8...
But it used to be like 13-15 a season.
It's just weird so many big shows drastically cut episode counts and are just keeping them low.
It's a 22 minute show after ads, there really should be a minimum amount of runtime per season for records like this. 8-10 episodes a season is barely enough for hour long prestige shows that don't have ads.
It feels like they don't want to do it and are just doing bare minimum for a check. Everyone would be better off if they had just taken a real break for a couple years and came back when they had enough material for real seasons again.

I watched from season 1 til the season with the ass pounder 3000. the show is still funny, but boring to watch

I don't find it boring. I find it one of the rare shows that steadily keep a constant level. The other one being Bob's Burgers.

King of the Hill too

Mantis Toboggan and Ongo Gablogian are never boring.

The only episodes I can think of that I found boring, were the gang gets whacked.
SatyrSack@quokk.au · 7 pts · 19d
"Waiting for Big Mo" is easily the most boring. That, or "The Gang Does a Clip Show", for obvious reasons.
EDIT: I just can't get over someone thinking "Whacked" was boring. Just off the top of my head, that involved:

A ceertain somethin' which may or may not have fallen off a certain truck, huh? And the certain somebody that we know thinks they saw that certain someone pick it up and take it back to that certain bar which may or may not be the place that we happen to be or not be talkin' to a couple of certain somebodies right this very second. Capisce?

Fellas, we're about six beers deep, here.
