He is so lovable in his idiocy. God damn I adore Charlie Day. He stole the movie Going the Distance (which was cute I swear!) I plan on seeing Horrible Bosses just for him.

Also, every lyric to Day Man could be added to this list.
"It's just two men sharing the night
It might seem wrong, but it's just right
It's just two men sharing each other
It's just two men like loving brothers
One on top, and one on bottom,
One inside, and one is out!"

“I’m gonna rise up, I’m gonna to kick a little ass, I’m gonna to kick some ass in the U.S.A., gonna climb a mountain, gonna sew a flag, gonna fly on an eagle. I’m gonna kick some butt, I’m gonna drive a big truck, I’m gonna rule this world, I’m gonna kick some ass, I’m gonna rise up, I’m gonna kick a little ass. ROCK, FLAG and EAGLE!!”

I also loved "Going the Distance" and can't wait to see "Horrible Bosses." I've heard Day steals the show in it.

“That’s Tammy, Trey’s ex-girlfriend. This is classic Tammy. Trey broke up with Tammy because Maureen Kinallen said that she saw Tammy flirting with Walt Timby at a party, but she was only doing it to make Trey jealous, because, you know, she thought that Trey secretly liked Erin Hannabry, but he doesn’t like Erin Hannabry; it was all a bunch of bull.”
My favorite Charlie scene doesn't actually have a specific line, it's just when he keeps pulling out his teeth after he and Mac fake their deaths. It might be the scene I laughed at hardest in the series.

Does singing count? "I got the good lord going down on me..."

Pretty much everything he says as Serpico is the best, second maybe only to "Rock flag and eaaagllllllle!"
"Taked baby. Meet at later bar night or day, sometime."
also
"You know there was a time where I would've helped you raise this little dumpster baby brother of mine like a son, but that's gone now 'cause you ruined it! You threw your babies away! And you threw your swords away! You threw your golf clubs and your tasty treats. And you know what? I found them. And I'm gonna raise all of them!"

Charlie's special brand of learning disability always makes for the biggest laughs on the show.
"I work...I'm, like, a janit..., and, um... I'm a... full-on rapist. You know, Africans, dyslexics, children, that sort of thing."
Charlie's date: horrified
Me: laughing to the point of abdominal pain

Mel we are definitely on the same page today. There are few things I love more than randomly yelling "Wild card, bitches!" whenever possible.

Man I can't find it, but during the dance marathon, Charlie is full of sedatives near the end, and he's just babbling and karate chops the air, and I can't get enough of it.
And also everything everyone else has said.

Great list but I agree with the people above: all of the lyrics to Night Man must be on this list. The single greatest song ever written, hands down.
Posted by: TheDarkChrisKnight at July 7, 2011 10:20 PM
Also, who noticed how in one season we figured out Charlie is Frank's son ("You're an abortion survivor"), and the next they got gay married for health care?

Another favorite of mine is Charlie picking up the calculator saying "What...are...you?"

Seen every episode so many times because we watch them in car daily when commuting...but I did miss the one:
“Wang is all over my ass because of rent.”
I remember the episode "Gun Fever" but Wang is all over my ass...aaaah, now I get it! (nice cameo by Lex Luthor too!)
Our favorite episode is probably "Sweet Dees Dating a Retarded Person", as it has that great story (Retarded 4, Normal 0), but also the birth of the Nightman...we always quote:
Charlie: "What is going on up here?"
Dennis : "I never know man".
Finally, and hard to believe though, you left out:
This is one of those shows where I really wanted to watch it, and missed it. Then I forgot about it until the new season is being advertised. I say, "Oh, yeah! I wanted to watch that." Then I forget again...and then it's, what--six years later or some shit?
The only parts I've seen are the Kitten Mittens, hilarious, and when they snort all the cocaine or something and they are trying to cut it with flour. And it's pretty much just flour.
Vietnam vet episode when he gets stuck in the corner and starts mumbling:
"You don't BOX in a vet! Square Commie-ass.."
He does a spot on Ron Kovic in this episode.
Also, the episode with the kids' basketball game - the whole sequence where he's the drunk ref and starts throwing the basketball all over the place.
I laugh my ass off watching that every time!
also in the" Charlie goes America" episode, a small line but I love it because it's an obscure American history ref - he's protesting the bar and waving a flag yelling "Attica! Attica, MAN! Attica, MAN!"
"Oo look at Dennis, with his bed made for kings and his toilet made out of gold!" - "who pooped the bed"
Also in "Who Pooped the bed", examining the poop: "There is TONS of wolfhair in our apartment, dude."
In the episode where they kidnapped Fisher Stevens and had to help him pee in the bathroom, "WHY DID IT MOVE?"
the football tryout episode, his commentary on the McPoyle family coming out of the van, I could watch over and over. "oh, its good to see her again...what is that a jar of, what is that a jar of, dude?...what is that a fife? he brought his little flute!...oh here he comes! you're here, in the world, that's the sun, it's gonna burn your eyes..."
And I've gotta add to the episode where his landlord Wang comes to the apartment, the whole scene where they are arguing over the rent money he doesn't have and he's going "I realize this Wang! I realize this Wang! I placed a couple of bad investments...I placed.. a couple of bad investments"...and then offers him a rice krispie treat, and they start arguing all over again.
The Sinbad episode: "I hope he's wearing something made out of windbreaker."
the mafia episode: "Go on Peter Nincompoop! I miss you! Already!...I love you Peter Nincompoop!"
the North Korea episode, trying to get into the "pirate" door: "just turn me sideways, and use my head like a battered ram."
the preacher episode: "Well I do know a bit about carpentry, and I don't know who my father is. Am I the messiah? I don't know. All I'm saying is, I'm not gonna rule it out."

My favorite Charlie quotes are just those disgruntled grunts he does when the rest of The Gang isn't following him.
I also like "I'll tell her I met a nice guy in the bathroom and I asked him to give me his shirt."
You gotta love some Charlie Day!
