Well, of course I know him.
He's me.
Charlie's creepy uncle is my favorite recurring side character. My favorite one-off is probably the insane jockey from The Gang Gets Whacked.

Charlie's uncle is the only thing in the entire show that, while still hilarious, actually makes me a tiny bit uncomfortable.

This is my vote for best one off character, but this episode is also an excellent depiction of the Philadelphia/Beemore club scene (trashy suburban bloggers rolling face and forgetting how foolish they acted, thereby necessitating a repeat every night) and I just think Diaper time is supes funny.

Once I put his uncle and nightman together i realized that show really wasn't afraid of doing anything for a laugh, no matter how shallow, broken and quiet that laugh might be.

"That's what indy would do!" and Charlie's diversion are also brilliant moments. Oh and the Arizona leather shop.

It's a brilliant episode, I don't know if it's the best or not, but it's amazing.

I haven't seen that episode in a little while, but I remember being really disappointed with his fake bass playing as well.

I have no idea what he is doing "wrong" about it but it's a really simple doo-doo-do-do-dooo that anyone could do in 5 minutes even if they've never picked up a guitar in their life so I assume it has everything to do with sound recording stuff

Well, hes playing the bassline to the song thats playing in the background. Its not just a random "p diddy shows off" opportunity.

Okay so yeah, sperg time: I rewatched P Diddy's scenes and yeah his fake bass playing is really bad, if I had to make excuses for him I'd point out that when you record scenes with background music it's obviously all synced up in post and there's no music being played in the scenes cause that would render the audio recordings useless. And yet he doesn't even move he's fingers the way anyone who's ever played a fretted instrument would, he's just fluffing them about. So yeah it's bad.

On the other hand, until you peeps pointed it out I've never noticed it and I watch this show like a crack addict so they probably invested the correct amount of effort into the whole thing. All in all it's a great guest star character

The better the setup is for producing arguments, the more I like the episode.

I could just listen to them talk over each other all day. I especially love rewatching it and hearing a line cut through the jumble I'd never heard before.

Every line is funny. Especially the ones you never hear.

It's really good. Especially the bit with Frank in the basement. I feel like Frank has been more unhinged than usual this last season, which is a trend I enjoy. And that's probably why I'd actual pick Frank Retires over Charlie Work for favorite episode.

That episode is really great. Dee eating the cheesesteak like a bird, "ohh Charlie, I wanted to eat that lady so bad!" and of course Charlie's reaction to Frank's revelation..... "RACOON MEAT.......BULLSHIT!"

I think it's the best one because it's almost purely arguing.

Also, whispered arguments are loving hilarious.

I think this is it -- they want to scream at each other so bad, but they can't, and it's like trapped steam.

Also, "hamburger store" always makes me laugh for no clear reason. :allears:
