Spider-Man: Miles Morales’ Fun Always Sunny In Philadelphia Easter Egg

Since its release, fans have been finding all sorts of clever easter eggs in Spider-Man: Miles Morales. One of the more subtle and clever easter eggs references a line from It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, and it’s actually pretty funny for anyone who makes the connection.

Spider-Man: Miles Morales already has a lot of easter eggs for players to find. While many of the nods are references to various Marvel properties, others include an homage to Stan Lee and a tribute to the Black Lives Matter movement. Now that the game has been out for a while, people are discovering more subtle references to other media, including one to It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia is a popular and long-running comedy series, but it’s still odd to find an easter egg in a Spider-Man video game (especially since Spider-Man: Miles Morales takes place in New York City). And, like a lot of the best things in Spider-Man: Miles Morales, this reference involves a cat, although it’s a bit more subtle that getting a Spider-Cat companion. In fact, unless people have watched the show a lot, they might miss the It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia reference in Spider-Man: Miles Morales completely.

How Spider-Man: Miles Morales References It’s Always Sunny

The easter egg for It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia happens during the “Lost Cat” side mission. Miles says, “Lost cat, eh? Okay, okay, now you’re talking my language. I know this game.” This is almost verbatim to what Charlie says in It’s Always Sunny. In episode 9 of the fifth season, “Mac and Dennis Break Up,” Charlie helps Dee get a cat out of her wall. He says, “Cat in the wall, eh? Okay, now you’re talking my language. I know this game.”

The best part isn’t just the dialogue, but that Miles’s voice actor, Nadji Jeter, perfectly captures the same cadence that actor Charlie Day used on the show. It’s something that would only be apparent to fans of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, of which there are apparently many, since multiple people have posted videos of the reference since Spider-Man: Miles Morales’ launch, including this one from RogueReact. Anyone who’s played the game already and may have missed the reference can watch the two clips back-to-back there.

Spider-Man: Miles Morales has already shown that it’s full of clever easter eggs, with everything from popular movies to Marvel properties like X-Men being referenced. While the quote from It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia may be subtle, it’s still pretty great – and fans of the show should love it almost as much as Charlie loves cats.
