Can I offer you a nice egg in this trying time?

What it means
Our interpretation.
Frank's idea of comfort is a single egg, offered with the grave courtesy of a funeral director, and the mismatch is the joke: the gang's worst impulses wrapped in formal sympathy. It became a favourite quote precisely because it is so specific and so random. Fans use it as a deadpan line for any bad moment, usually followed by an actual egg.

"Frank's Pretty Woman" opens the seventh season of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia on 15 September 2011. Frank Reynolds walks into Paddy's Pub with a crass prostitute named Roxy and announces that he loves her and means to marry her.

The mood turns grim when Roxy collapses and dies, and the gang moves the body out into the hallway. In the middle of the chaos, Frank offers a consoling egg.
