Self-consciously bad acting, like watching a table read, like they're completely apathetic to bringing their characters to life or playing a scene with any believability, which makes the vaguely comedic banter unengaging. Characters that are supposed to be ordinary gen-y joes but whose dialogue expresses no personality, existing either for exposition or to say something obnoxious but devoid of context intended to pass for a gag. It's a lot like Stella in those regards.
The show's most definitive feature is it's endearingly low production values and anything-goes writing, but it makes little use of the potential in this style, generally basing content around tv news topics and plot points that have more relevence to filmmaking conventions than everyday life. The sheer unrelatability of most scenarios and character choices makes any Seinfeld comparison unfounded, and next to South Park any claim of envelope pushing is laughable. The end product is basically what you'd expect if you got any bunch of "alternative" minded comedians together and gave them one day per episode to make a season. With the proviso that none of the comedians have much natural charisma.

This has to be the greatest TV show ever made! That is, if you like crude humor and don't mind jokes on just about any subject. Its a show about 6 people running a philly bar. These first two seasons talk about Hitler, pickin up women at abortion rallys, exploiting religion, faking cancer, how old people are gross, opening a minor bar and going the kids prom, opening a gay bar for money, community service, political BS, etc. Like i say no topic is taboo, and its all funny as hell. Danny DeVito started in the second season and really added to show. I've watched every episode like 5 times, it NEVER gets old!!!!!! BUY THIS DVD SET!

What can I add to the praise that's already been heaped here? Did you ever think someone would produce a comedy with plotlines centering on the main characters getting hooked on crack just to get public on assistance? Join the pro-life movement-solely to hit on a hot chick? Make an Islamic terrorist tape to threaten off a potential muslim neighbor whose taking over their bar? Use a friend's cancer as an excuse to get a date with a girl? You'll laugh yourself silly...even the promos for Season 3 are profane take-offs on the P.C./Mac commericals. Politically incorrect in every way possible, the closest thing to National Lampoon's no-sacred-cow humor in it's glory days.

and one of, if not the only, shows that I look forward to seeing back this fall. I remember cathing this show when it used to come on right behind another (now cancelled) show that FX was hyping called "Starved". I also remember they were really hyping Starved, a dramedy about people with eating disorders (with a premise like that, how could they fail?) waaaaay more than IASIP. WELL WHO'S LAUGHIN' NOW!?
Sunny is one of those shows that, well, the characters are SO comfortably dysfunctional that you almost forget it's a show and can only watch in stunned amusement at some of the stuff Mac, Dee, Charlie, and Dennis get into. The Bar setting helps in that it's almost like you are a customer sitting at the bar eavesdropping on these lovable sociopaths as they indulge themselves often at the expense of those around them.
The show is a comedic home run from the first episode of the first season "The Gang gets Racist", to the last episode of the second "Dennis and Dee get a new Dad" and you can tell the actors are having just as great a time as we are watching.
I downloaded all the episodes and never get tired of watching. So far they have maintained a steady stream of unpredictable comedic quality that I hope they carry over to the third season.
