every time I see the original version of this gif, I'm OBSESSED with knowing what the context behind all of this was.

This is from an episode of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia in which they try to appeal to the Philadelphia Historical Society to get their bar registered as a historic landmark. Before the worker comes in to check out their story, the guys just think the portrait of GW is ugly and that he looks like an old woman so they try to get rid of it lol.

lmfaoooo, i love it. even more incentive to actually watch the entirety of the show for once and not just thru memes.

I personally enjoy the absurdity of these asshole characters, but I recognize it's not for everyone.

Start with the second season if you can! The first one is funny but the characters are just super different from how they are the rest of the series (e.g. the main female lead Dee is rational and "the voice of reason", but by the second season onward she's just as bad as the rest of the).

Season one is so good though! Maybe as a standalone.

It's one of those shows that is very easy to jump around the narrative if you wanted to do a "best of" run as I think there are quite a few seasons at this point, and definitely the kind of show you can skip an episode if it's going somewhere you're not vibing with (there's a few I've yet to finish myself for various reasons). It's like Simpsons in that the general cast/plot never actually changes too much and it's more just the situations that week as opposed to a long term plot.

it comes into a good place/tone around season 3 and peaks around 7-8

I'm gonna be honest and say I have no idea, as I don't even watch the show. I just know it from the memes/gifs lmao 😬

They just got tired of always seeing his face ("we have to suffer just because some old dude who looks like Meryl Streep chopped down a cherry tree a million years ago?") and decided to cut him out, lol.

Edit - oops, didn't refresh to see someone already answered your question!
