History Characters / ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphiaTheGangsFamilies

* GutturalGrowler: By "The Gang Goes Bowling", decades of heavy drinking and weed usage and a total lack of self-care have given her a horribly deep and abrasive rasp that makes her immaturity and childish personality repulsively apparent.

* {{Gonk}}: She's as unpleasant on the outside as she is on the inside.

* ParentalFavoritism: Towards Dennis.

* BrutalHonesty: She's outright admitted that she doesn't like her son to his face, said that she hated Luther while he was sitting right next to her, and told Dennis that she thinks he's ugly (and agreed with him when he said the same about her).

* GutturalGrowler: She's got a voice like industrial-grade abrasives from her decades of constant smoking.

** She was this to Dennis as well. All the unearned praise she lavished him with is pretty clearly the reason for his intense narcissism, not to mention the whole "Golden God"-thing. "Frank vs Russia" expands on it, with an IncestSubtext-laden projection from it that all men had a mother who made them feel powerful and inflated their ego, but also got them to feel dependent and powerless, seeking validation from her in sexual partners for the rest of their lives.

** To [[TheUnfavourite Dee]]. In her will she leaves Dee with nothing and explicitly calls her "a disappointment and a mistake" and shows no concern for Dee when she's in a neckbrace. It's made Dee a FemaleMisogynist who will nevertheless be desperate for approval from literally anyone, especially older women who she doesn't even like. The amount of WeightWoe Barbara has inflicted on her has also given her an eating disorder, starving herself for three days to not look puffy on TV.

Dennis and Dee's cousin.

* {{Womanchild}}: She's 33, but looks and acts like an awkward, moody teenager who is desperate to fit in; among other things, she is gratuitously sexual and inappropriate, repeatedly announcing that she is masturbating people in public (and is apparently extremely bad at it, like one would expect a sexually inexperienced teenager to be), obsessively fixates on crushes and does not get hints that they want nothing to do with her, and childishly brags about her substance usage like a kid who just discovered alcohol and weed. She also dresses the part, both with her sleepwear-only wardrobe early on and her inappropriate wardrobe for a funeral later on, and her greasy hair and dull complexion makes it clear that she doesn't bathe very much.

* TheBusCameBack: After one non-speaking appearance in the very first season, the sisters vanished from the show for nearly 18 years before finally appearing again in "[[Recap/ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphiaS16E02FrankShootsEveryEveryMember Frank Shoots Every Member of the Gang"]]. Mac even lampshades this, stating that he forgot Charlie had sisters.

* DueToTheDead: {{Subverted}}. Mac tries to get the Gang to spread his ashes in the countryside. Frank just dumps the ashes down Paddy's toilet.

** She was this to Dennis as well. All the unearned praise she lavished him with is pretty clearly the reason for his intense narcicssism, not to mention the whole "Golden God"-thing. "Frank vs Russia" expands on it, with an IncestSubtext-laden projection from it that all men had a mother who made them feel powerful and inflated their ego, but also got them to feel dependent and powerless, seeking validation from her in sexual partners for the rest of their lives.

Dennis and Dee's cousin.

* AbusiveParents: Openly rude and uncaring towards her son. Mac is so accustomed to her behavior that he has trained himself to interpret her agitated groans to mean whatever words of approval he currently wants to hear. She would also burn him with her cigarettes

* AbusiveParents: Openly rude and uncaring towards her son. Mac is so accustomed to her behavior that he has trained himself to interpret her agitated groans to mean whatever words of approval he currently wants to hear.

* {{Jerkass}}: Has no problem with telling her son that she doesn't like him to his face.

* MustHaveNicotine: She's literally ''never'' seen without a cigarette in her mouth. The one exception was when she was on a plane (she had ''eaten'' all of her nicotine patches) and even then, she still tried to light a cigarette.
* NotSoStoic: Despite her usual demeanor, she will snap out an loud insult or nasty comment given enough irritation. Mac and Bonnie have both been targets.

* UnnamedParent: She's the only relative to appear in the series who's never been given a first name, with most characters referring to her as simply "Mrs. Mac."

* GoodCounterpart: To Jack Kelly. He's not at all creepy (besides perhaps some well-intentioned desperation) and genuinely wants to have a good relationship with his nephew, Mac.

* UselessBystanderParent: It's suggested the Charlie's open disdain for her stems from him resenting her for doing nothing to stop him from getting molested by his uncle Jack as a child. In fact, she seemed to inadvertently ''encourage'' it to happen by regularly inviting Jack over to their house for things like sleepovers under the pretense of them being male bonding activities. Even as an adult, Charlie is still forced to interact with Jack on a semi-regular basis because Bonnie keeps finding ways to bring him back into his life, such as inviting him to an intervention when she thinks Charlie got abused by his gym teacher. It’s heavily implied that the troll in Charlie's musical is her.

* TokenGoodTeammate: Out of all of the parents of The Gang, she's the nicest and most well-meaning, and has shown to genuinely love her son, despite not being the greatest at actual parenting when Charlie was younger (to put in mildly); the only other parent who comes even remotely close (discounting absentee parents Bruce and Shelley) is Frank, and he was very, very psychologically abusive to Dee and Dennis growing up.

* UselessBystanderParent: Did nothing to stop Charlie from getting molested by his uncle, even inviting him to an intervention when she thinks her son got abused by his gym teacher. It’s heavily implied that the troll in his musical is her.
