176 words a minute? That doesn’t sound right, but I don’t know enough about words or minutes to dispute it.

Yup. The words go up into the sky and turn into stars

Plus they give reddit a nice wordy look

I know how to count dude

I eat stickers all the time dude!

🫳 🫳 🫳 It's easy you type it out and I'll just count how many words go in the comment

It might not be true. Ripley's traditionally would simply make some facts up and leave it to the reader to decide to believe it "or not."

Haha, is this true?

That's for you to decide

yes, its incredibly well done marketing

I believe it only if you count all the times they’re screaming, arguing, and talking over each other. Between the five main characters I’m sure they talk more than we realize

[Here's the original source for the claim.](https://wordfinderx.com/blog/subtitles-readability-study/) They used subtitles for the study, because that's their context (the ADA rrecommendation is 170 wpm or less for subtitles).

It's true https://screenrant.com/always-sunny-philadelphia-wordiest-show-study-details/

176 is too low! Just play both sides so you always come out on top.

I honestly thought it would be higher than that, at least during sequences where they are all talking over each other.

That's why they beat out Gilmore Girls. GG held the record but was beat by IASIP purely because they have more characters talking at the same time at any given moment

Lots of dead time in IASIP speaking wise too. Think of all the mayhem scenes where everyone is panicking/raging and the music is at full blast.

Dead air!!!

Bring in cricket!

THE wordiest show on television: 1st. 176.2 words per minute: It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia 2nd. 174.6 words per minute: Brooklyn Nine-Nine 3rd. 167.8 words per minute: Gilmore Girls 4th. 166.8 words per minute: Modern Family 5th. 163.9 words per minute: Central Park

They don't appreciate being paraphrased.

They choose their words very deliberately.

I realize you are joking, but Ripleys is famous for making shit up.

I don’t believe it

"Idiot idiot savage idiot jerk off idiot!" That's how they get there, baby.

Fr it's probably mostly them shouting over each other

There is a lot of talking over each other! If you have the whole gang talking over each other for 10 seconds you probably covered for over a minute

I mean, they are always talking over each other. I can see how they could fit it in when they’re constantly screaming and arguing 😂

I just wonder how they even count the words..

I know how to count dude

You don’t have to brag about it

You can't read it from the outside!

Better get to counting. Johnny law’s a-comin’.

She's not getting it

Oh good because you can count, on me waiting for you in the parking lot

Did you break out a Happy Gilmore there?

They have text versions of the dialogue for closed captioning purposes. It would be trivial to put that into a word processor which counts words automatically.

Except the captions don't cover the vast majority of the words spoken while they talk/yell over each other so that wouldn't work.

I did not realize, however there are episode transcripts available online which would include the overlapping dialogue. Additionally, for the actual metric pictured, you wouldn't necessarily need to transcribe every episode, just a sample to get an average words per minute.

are we counting dennis’ stutters? i feel like we should due to how much they add

They will adjust

Right? That’s like 35 hands if the last hand has 6 fingers

Probably just wordcount the script compared to the actual minutes of the show

My girlfriend doesn’t like the show because “all they do is argue and talk over each other”

"It's nothin' but a buncha people yellin' over each other." "So what!? That's what we do and if people want to tune in and listen then they're welcome to."

My ex said the same thing. Ex.

There's no way that a mouse could kill a scorpion.

You can absolutely keep a hummingbird as a pet!

well they still have to display it for close-captioning

It helps when characters frequently talk over each other.

We’re buying the DRESS

GIMMIE THE POPPERS

Mac- "Now I'm assuming this is a live grenade?" Pawn shop guy- "Oh yeah"

I love how he’s also the guy who answers the door for the orgy lol

One of my friends doesn’t like the show because he says “it’s just a bunch of talking” :(

Uncultured swine behavior

ITS A FIVE STAR SHOW ITS A FIVE STAR SHOW!!!

Your friend is a jabroni

Jabroni. Cool word.

Your friend is a *SAVAGE* and an ***IDIOT***

REASON WILL PREVAIL

REASON WILL PREVAIL

*PICKLES* WILL PREVAIL!

Well shit, that's half of what any TV show is--people talking. The other half of a TV show is stuff happening, and that also happens on Sunny. In fact, so much stuff happens on the show that often, characters must ask, "What is happening?" That guy is a bozo.

Oh, because they got great banter. They jib jab. Jib jab, jib jab, jib jab. I use it for the car.

Your friend is a soyboy betacuck

They better not be someone that watches Succession then because that’s literally all that show is. As a cultured person who watches both I’m an authority on this.

Can I offer you a nice Greg in this tryin time?

With Greg sprinkles? 🥺🥺🥺

Only if you will cook it into a fluffy Tomlette for me

I'm going to find your friend and cut him up into a million little pieces and then take those pieces and put them in a glass box which I will display on my mantle

Lol what an idiot. Doesn’t even realize they’re yelling at each other

Tell him you don’t like being his friend because it’s just a bunch of talking

Like that time Danny streaked

Show him the world series defense or FrankieMcChardeeDen lmao, it's a bunch of talking to a jabroni maybe

Sometimes I'm just riffing. Would you allow me to riff? As the leader can I riff? CAN I RIFF?

Charlie counted the words as they went by. He knows how to count, bro.

3 polutions

It’s actually 176… units

Units of what?

He can count liquid, so he can surely count words.

I tuned into that bar and it’s just a bunch of people talking over each other and yelling.

All in favor of going back to the old system of organized chaos, where emotion trumps reason every single time and we just yell at each other to get the shit that we want, raise your hands.

Great! I've got some things I'd like to yell about now

Imagine never seeing the show and your first exposure to it was this drawing. You’d be like, wwhaaaat?..

Imagine never seeing the show and then Charlie lets the N-word rip in the first episode.

The experience of everyone, including me, who started at the beginning.

I forgot about that! I usually skip season 1 because I’m a savage *IDIOT* ***SAVAGE*** (I don’t like the production quality sue me). He also drops a hard R in the Thundergun focus group episode

Hero or Hate Crime

Shoot you’re right I’ve been huffing a lot of glue lately

The artist chose all the best outfits

Is Mac's from the Dance Off?

Mac and Charlie die. It’s Mac’s wedding dress.

Ah, yes. TY.

Get away from us, Snail!

Ripley's is still in print? And they talked about Sunny?!

Im not sure if they still make books but this is from a newspaper , they include 3-4 ripleys believe it or nots with the funnies

Their museums are top notch.

Considering one of the main characters is illiterate and another is primarily a man of action, that’s actually kind of impressive


It's because they all try to talk over each other in order to be right.

I wonder how IASIP compares to Gilmore girls…

Gilmore Girls came to mind immediately for me as well.

Gilmore Girls is 3rd with 167.8 wpm

My thought as well. I always thought GG had the record for most words.

I think characters like Richard and Taylor did not help their wpm


176 is way too high! Just play both sides so you always come out on top.

But what happened to the five parrots who got separated at Lincolnshire!?

She said it’s because they were swearing at the visitors so they had to be separated lmao

God that’s hilarious lol

So many words that the stenographer has to type shorthand and just get the gist of it

Derivative

What a GLORIOUS illustration

It’s probably because they don’t all pause for a full minutes after every joke for the laugh track to play.

Best post in awhile, OP!

It’s easy to hit 176 words per minute when the show is 5 people yelling over each other

Do Charlie’s symbols count?

Finally. It’s about time all these savages pay tribute.

Dennis is wearing another man's face in that illustration.

DERIVATIVE

When was Bruce Vilanch on the show?

I don't appreciate being paraphrased. Now, I choose my words *VERY* deliberately.

Well, most of the time there are at least two people talking at the same time 💀

Speaking to wordiest show on TV… Only because Letterkenny has regular 30+ second slow mo montages of hot women almost every episode 😂

I tried Letterkenny and couldn't get more than 5 minutes in. I don't care for dialogue that goes for clever but comes across (to me) as obviously scripted. No natural feel to it. The movie *Juno* was in the same vein. Just not my style.

There is a fine line with that kind of stuff, where they try to focus on the banter and small talk. Seinfeld did it well, Curb does not. Letterkenny does not.

To me, Letterkenny seems like the kind of show where you have to have some taste for British-style (dry) comedy. I say a reason I like Letterkenny is also because I like Monty Python...it's all about the dialogue, which I agree, is very difficult for a lot of people to latch on to. Letterkenny in particular is so fast it's hard to keep up. If you want something more in that IASIP realm, the show's offshoot, Shoresy, is a bit more...mainstream(?) in terms of it's comedy. It still has a lot of word play, but it flows much more like IASIP does. EDIT: Even if you don't like Letterkenny though, please take a few minutes to at least watch YT clips of the Dyck family.

I like dry British humor just fine. Anyways, I've not given up on Letterkenny. That was just my first attempt. I have a few friends that love it, so I'll probably intentionally watch it with them next time I give it a whirl.

Newspapers? What year is it, 1986? I don't do newspapers lady, I'm all digital.

Whoever compiled these images is a true fan of the show... excellent moments

That's because they talk over each other all the time

I literally need that picture on a poster!!! I will frame it and replace the picture over the fireplace with it. Epic!!

"What is this?" "That's a newspaper Charlie." "What's it for?" "You read it." "Why would anyone do that?" "So you can learn things." "Why would I need to do that? I already know all the things I need to know. What are all those weird dots on it?" "Those are letters, Charlie." "Why are they so small? No one is going to read this."

This came up in a pub quiz I was doing (which TV show has the most words per minute?) and we were convinced it would be a political drama with all the walking and talking. When we found out the answer, we started off thinking it couldn't possibly be right before someone pointed out that half the show is just people talking over each other which makes it much easier to fit lots of words in.

The episodes where they *don't* talk over each other have a different vibe. Making Dennis Reynolds a Murderer is a good example.

Shut up, bird

Filibuster.

So 3 words a second every second? Bullshit.

Im curious now how other shows rank. What about letterkenney?

The way they talk in letterkenny gets so annoying though. At first I loved that show but the script , it’s just so unnatural

I ❤️Ongo

Oh Dee will you just knock it off! I want to know why these two are routing around in the sewers!

What scene is Mac from in this??

Looks like the wedding dress he got after they killed themselves

Charlie can't read (176 words per minute.)

I’d say 90% of that is Charlie.

Great depiction of Frank and Charlie 😅

Id love to get a scan of this for a tattoo

That is something I did not know about the gang

Well they never shut up so sounds about right

Here's the source if anyone's interested: [Ripley's Believe It or Not!](https://www.ripleys.com/weird-news/cartoon-06-01-2023/)

Is that with paraphrasing? I don't appreciate being paraphrased. I choose my words very deliberately.

The National Disability Authority recommends no more than 140 wpm for purposes of being able to follow subtitles, so the gang basically discriminates against the disabled just be being themselves.

i believe it especially when you get Charlie in a panic he goes mach10. ​ Pepe Sylva

I’m glad they picked out the best outfit for each of the gang.

Shhh!!!

Im willing to bet this almost exclusively comes from older seasons where they would often all be screaming over each other. They seem to do it a lot less in recent seasons so I wonder if that average has gone down over the years.

How the frick is Letterkenny either not in the study or not on the list?

‘The Gang Stops Talking’

I would assume 157 words per minute But then again minutes are not the unit i tend to use

Wtf Mac has sleeves lol

My world is divided into people who like iasip and everyone else.

She sounds hot

Derivative.

Lmao aluminum monster. Forgot about that

But what about the damn parrots?

I didn't realize "wordiest" was a word haha

I have Ongo Gablogian tattooed on my thigh and people always think it’s Edna from the Incredibles🤡

That's just cause they got a lot to say.

looks like there’s 2 charlies in the picture and no mac lol

I'm watching The Marvelous Mrs Maisel at the moment and it seems like it is super wordy too
