The President of the United States is considered to be the most powerful man on Earth, and the next guy to take the oath of office will have a real opportunity to transform the world, hopefully benefiting all of Humanity. That’s not the case in our latest installment of TV’s greatest campaigns. In it we look at a man who runs for office hoping to change the world - for himself.

#2. It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia: The Gang Runs for Office

When out of control liquor taxes eat away at Paddy’s profits, Mac gets the idea of taking over the Comptroller’s office by winning the upcoming election. But things get very complicated when Charlie reveals a secret disability he’s been hiding all his life.

Our Vote For Best Campaign Quote: Dennis (Glenn Howerton) for the first time reads a script which Charlie (Charlie Day) has voluntarily written for the campaign, despite suffering from a childhood learning disorder:

“Hello, fellow American. This you should vote me. I leave power. Good. Thank you. Thank you. If you vote me, I am hot. What? Taxes. They’ll be lower, son. The democratic vote for me is the right thing to do, Philadelphia. So do.”
