Not that any of the characters are likable, really, except for Charlie - but Charlie's likability comes from his particular brand of twisted innocence and childishness. They're all sociopaths who do terrible things to other people without a hint of regret and they never suffer any consequences for it. Sounds hilarious doesn't it?
Maybe it's a shock comedy thing, but it's also laughing at how ridiculous they are in reality, compared to how awesome they think they are in their heads. Like when Mac becomes over-weight but rationalizes it in his head as "gaining mass". Or the time Charlie believes he is an amazing lawyer (even though he can't read or write).
Anyway, season 9 starts this September, and they're been promoting it with a strange Swedish art house campaign (see after the cut):
