The people in Always Sunny are awful people to be around: comically stupid, ignorant, selfish, sociopathic, repressed, narcissistic, scheming and oblivious. That is the joke. Take a group of morons with the above qualities, and worse, who own a bar in Philly. Hilarity ensues with how awful they are. Like a train wreck. That's the premise. And a further meta joke is on anyone who would "identify" with them.
