So, it looks like a cast member gained 50 pounds for next season.

And it's not even Danny Devito (bada bing!) I've blatantly stolen the following from Vulture:

When It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia returns this September, you can expect the characters to be as venal as they've ever been, though there is one slight change: Rob McElhenney, who plays Mac, has gained 50 pounds between seasons, simply because he thought it would be a hilarious character trait. “We were a little on the fence about it for his own personal health and safety," his co-star Charlie Day told Screen Junkies, “but it has definitely made Mac a lot funnier.” We would have accepted the "I just had a baby" excuse for the extra poundage (since McElhenney and his co-star Kailin Olson are new parents), but that is some De Niro-level commitment.

Can't wait to see the show. 50 lbs is a shitload of weight.

So you can add fat people to list of people they will horribly offend this season.

Sounds awesome to me :D

Well that certainly seems healthy. But hopefully his sacrifice will result in more funny.

Reminds me of when they had Glenn Howerton play the fat sex offender who looks like Dennis in the episode "Dennis Looks Like a Registered Sex Offender"... except Rob McElhenney is putting on actual weight.
