The 'Mac and Charlie Crying' meme features characters Mac and Charlie from the long-running sitcom It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia in a state of intense, hysterical sobbing. This specific template usually captures the duo's unique brand of codependent drama and over-the-top emotional instability, often taken from the episode 'The Gang Gets New Wheels.' It has become a staple for internet users to express 'fake' sympathy, exaggerated grief over minor inconveniences, or the feeling of being completely overwhelmed by relatable life events. Whether it's the ending of a favorite show or a minor social awkwardness, this template perfectly encapsulates the humor found in shared, dramatic misery.
