An ‘It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia’/‘Fallout’ crossover musical is too good of an idea

The Wasteland changes you — possibly from Dayman to Nightman, depending on how the “blanket” scene turns out.

Right now, the post-apocalyptic, retro-futuristic its delightfully dark humor, which caught the attention of an expert on the genre who also has plenty of experience going for gasps.

Central to the story of Fallout is a post-apocalypse settlement in the former Los Angeles area called “Filly,” which the official Fallout Twitter found to be a fitting setting for a fanfic crossover with Rob McElhenney one-upped the idea by pitching a Fallout/Always Sunny musical, which makes us wonder who he’d be doing the musical against, be it the Brotherhood of Steel, the NCR or the Vault Dwellers — after all, no one just writes a musical for no reason.

Lynda Carter, who played Wonder Woman in the 1970s TV series about the superhero, ed in on the fun, suggesting the crossover could be titled, “The Gang Explores The Wasteland,” while the official Xbox Twitter proposed, “The Gang Gets Irradiated.” But, ultimately, McElhenney made one point clear about a possible “Dayman”-style, Fallout-themed It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia musical special — if its not written by and starring Charlie Kelly, it might as well be a suit of power armor without its fusion core.

In the event of a nuclear apocalypse, its almost undeniable that the Paddys Pub gang would somehow survive the ordeal, perhaps by elbowing their way into the nearest vault and turning the entire experiment tits-up almost immediately. Even if Mac, Dennis, Charlie, Dee and Frank were trapped above ground during the blast, much like the radroaches, a nuclear event would probably just make them all stronger.

Though Charlie Day didnt comment on the possible musical crossover, its safe to assume that hes already on board — we know hes always liked ghouls.
