“Abbott Elementary” followers, you’ve by no means seen candy and harmless college trainer Janine Teagues like this. However on Wednesday’s Season 17 premiere of “It’s All the time Sunny in Philadelphia,” Janine — and far of the remainder of the present’s solid, whose language is generally restricted by ABC requirements and practices — will get uncooked.

The “Sunny” episode — “The Gang F***s Up Abbott Elementary” — repped the second half of the comedy change program that began earlier this season when that present’s characters (a.ok.a. “The Gang”) confirmed up on an episode of “Abbott Elementary” below the guise of court-mandated neighborhood service. Now, within the turnabout “Sunny” episode, we acquired to see what the Gang truly was as much as — and listen to the true emotions of the “Abbott” school.

This “Sunny” episode was structured very like an “Abbott” episode, utlizing that present’s mockumentary format.

Janine, who had initially bonded with Candy Dee (Kailtin Olson) over their shared expertise as Penn alums, quickly grew suspicious when Dee was clearly making strikes on Gregory.

“I imply, I favored Dee at first, however then issues acquired awkward when she tried to steal you,” Janine says to Gregory and the digicam. “Protected to say I favored her much less after that. Nevertheless it wasn’t till I noticed the additional footage that I used to be capable of understand simply how a lot of a … sh… I have to say a foul phrase. How a lot of a complete fucking cunt she was.”

Increase. Responds a shocked Gregory: “I-I believed you was gonna name her a bitch.”

It’s All the time Sunny in Philadelphia!

“I bear in mind writing that joke and being like, ‘I don’t know if she’s going to go for this,’” “Sunny” exec producer and star Charlie Day informed Selection. “After we despatched it over, truthfully, it was kind of the right check as as to whether or not it was going to work. I believe to ensure that the crossover to actually work, we would have liked them to play in the identical sandbox that we play in and keen and so recreation to do it. And don’t overlook, Quinta had a protracted profession in comedy nicely earlier than. It was nice!”

Fellow exec producer and star Glenn Howerton mentioned he might inform the “Abbott” stars had a blast with “getting an opportunity to interrupt freed from the confines of a community present. No matter how good and humorous that present is, that they’re restricted from what they’re capable of get away with. Simply as we had been excited to enter into their world and see how these characters would match, I believe they had been simply as excited to leap into our world.”

Day famous that it additionally gave an additional realism to how the “Abbott” solid would probably converse to one another if the present wasn’t on broadcast. “I believe 99.9% of grownup human beings most likely cuss or swear infrequently,” he mentioned. “The truth that their solid can’t do it, as a result of restrictions of ABC, it’s good to see them behave in a means that you simply’re positive that they do, however , by the foundations of tv that they can not.”

The “Abbott” and “Sunny” episodes had been shot back-to-back on the “Abbott” set (together with a coda over at Paddy’s Bar on the “Sunny” stage). The choice to maintain the identical “Abbott” mockumentary construction on the “Sunny” episode got here out of that — but additionally the concept it will be enjoyable to present a TV-MA model of the TV-PG antics that viewers had seen on “Abbott.”

“We thought, nicely, we hate to simply kind of settle for this as the truth of what occurs,” Day mentioned. “So we had been ready to make use of our episode as as an alternate, as wanting by means of their episode by means of an alternate lens of claiming sure, all these belongings you noticed occur, however right here’s what the Gang was actually as much as when you had been watching these issues.

“It was attention-grabbing writing of their fashion due to the speaking to digicam and the speaking head construction,” Day added. “In some methods, it was faster for us to put in writing as a result of these speaking heads gobble up a lot web page rely. There’s been a lot tv accomplished in that means, and we noticed the actual advantages. It’s a pleasure to put in writing that kind of fashion.”

Within the “Sunny” episode, Dee, Rob (Rob Mac), Dennis (Glenn Howerton), Charlie (Day) and Frank (Danny DeVito) spend a lot of their time at Abbott in search of their subsequent hustle — and that often consists of inappropriate schemes involving the college’s college students. Amongst their concepts: Stealing a number of the taller children to play basketball for St. Joe’s; indoctrinating them with the “fact” about 9/11; and recruiting a number of the college students to type a boy band. Then there was the concept to re-create “We Didn’t Begin the Hearth” with trendy lyrics — solely to find that Fall Out Boy had already accomplished it.

“We kind of struggled for some time by way of truly determining what the Gang was as much as and the way it will matter their episode, so that you’d at the very least purchase that these items had been occurring on the similar time,” Day mentioned. “Finally, I believe we landed our favorites of all of the issues that we had been attempting to develop, after which squeezed all of them in there. The boy band factor simply felt fairly pure. We thought it was actually humorous that these individuals had been kind of ping ponging from one thought to the following.”

Added Howerton: “One of many issues I like a lot concerning the present is that this everlasting optimism. I suppose you might describe them as cynical characters, however lthey’re continually crammed with these great concepts. Recruiting these children and turning them right into a boy band. Recruiting a child to play for a St Joe’s prep basketball recreation. They;re very motivated characters. They’re simply placing their power within the unsuitable locations.”

And don’t fear, Charlie might have discovered to learn in the course of the “Abbott Elementary” episode, nevertheless it received’t be for lengthy. “We’re probably not taken with any precise development on our present,” Day mentioned. “So I believe it’s enjoyable and cute that he discovered to learn within the ‘Abbott’ episode, and it’s becoming within the ‘Sunny’ world that he rapidly forgets.”
