Same here. He was masterful at playing the role. I always thought Billy Bob Thornton would have been great for the role of Frank as well. He basically would have been playing the same kind of character as Willy from Bad Santa.j
Fantastic actor, and one of the most underrated of his generation. He was great in Shameless, Fargo, and PTA’s Magnolia. The man is versatile as hell and very funny.
People don't understand how devastating this streak was. To see he could do it all along, they just weren't reason enough to keep it together. It wasn't sustainable, it was too terrible, so the kids HAD to end it.
Right. I thought he was just too far gone, so far passed “given up” and “rock bottom” that he can’t come back. Learning he actually could and consciously was choosing not too, was one of the things that made me really despise Frank. It’s one thing to be so deep in, a way out is just not even crossing your mind, but it’s another to keep doing it just because you want too. That’s a dick move.
@@virgie4715 bruh his kids literally shoved alcohol down his throat because he was too annoying to them sober🤦♂️ his family were not that great of people either especially Debbie. They could blame their parents all they want but that shit gets you nowhere. In the end though lip, Ian, Carl, and Liam turned out ok
its honestly just crazy to think that the one time frank felt dedicated to being a good dad; was because of a meth psychosis that ian had explained to being just a temporary medical condition that wouldnt last lol. either way william h macy did an amazing job playing a drunk while in recovery from being one. i honestly hope he lives past 100 with a smile on his face!
I was always confused about the fact that if he was trying to stay sober for the money… why would he go to a bar… and then I realized the only place he feels safe and loved… is the bar… they were his only friends.
It was this exact same episode where Frank and Carl were purposely knocking holes in the wall where a season after this, Frank's mom Grandma Gallagher knocked a specific hole in the wall in the bathroom to find a bunch of stashed Drug Money Frank didn't know she was hiding.
Graced with the presence of Frank Fucking Gallagher, that's what!! The nerve of a drunken, dopehead South-side Mick. Almost as bad from an uncle of mine from Southie, but not quite.
The REAL reason Frank was sober, was because he tried to make some easy money with medical trials, the drug they gave him STOPPED him being able to get pissed... Talk about ruining an amazing character.... Frank did the trial for beer money and completely selfish reasons (not knowing what the drugs were for) but the Americans make him look like he CHOSE to lay off the beer, like he was giving something back... what a bunch of shite
gareth14111984 Are you an idiot? It's the exact same storyline in the US version. Or did you believe fucking Frank saying he's doing it for the good of society, lmao.
By this point in time Frank would be mush brain, fuckin' mush brain. Wouldn't be able to form such a string of coherent sentences if his life was one the line (or if he was promised a lifetime of free booze!). I should know, as I've been drinking side by side with dozens of such types over the past 20 years, most of whom are gone, gone, gone, gone! It would also seem to me that such a t.v. series is a tad unrealistic, and often too dramatic. Gotta get me on as one of the writers, would sharpen this bad boy up quite a bit (and cause a lot of controversy in the process!), as I know a thing or two about fall down Irish drunks (I am one!).
@@kyletrosper8953 I prefer the US shameless, but the UK on eight that bad, the camera quality sucked bit it was still quite realistic and I skipped to later seasons and the quality did get better
When I watched Fargo, I couldn't have imagined William H. Macy playing this role. Now, I can't see anyone else playing Frank. Macy's a great actor.
Literally my first thought , when I first watched shameless

@@johnnymac8843 i felt terrible for frank as he lied there on the ground with that vodka still on his face just his look
@@johnnymac8843 I hate how the kids can blame their parents but frank had just as messed up childhood as them

Most popular shameless quote?!
“Fuck Off Frank”
🤷🏽♂️
Either It’s Fuck Off Frank Or Fuck You Frank Lol
If Frank is sober then the Browns are going to the super bowl.
Oh shit
I was always confused about the fact that if he was trying to stay sober for the money… why would he go to a bar… and then I realized the only place he feels safe and loved… is the bar… they were his only friends.
That's why it's so hard for an alcoholic to quit drinking, because their only socializing is going to the bar or other drinking activities
Okay this frank was always better am I right or am I the only one who liked this version ?
Huh
Everyone laughing just got me😂😂😂😂I feel ya guys I feel ya
Frank is so god damn funny
It was this exact same episode where Frank and Carl were purposely knocking holes in the wall where a season after this, Frank's mom Grandma Gallagher knocked a specific hole in the wall in the bathroom to find a bunch of stashed Drug Money Frank didn't know she was hiding.
I love this scene Lmao!!
Is that the bar set from its always sunny
"Da way i c it, ive done a lot for the folks around here over the past couple of years" - What has he really done?
Graced with the presence of Frank Fucking Gallagher, that's what!! The nerve of a drunken, dopehead South-side Mick. Almost as bad from an uncle of mine from Southie, but not quite.
I always say Frank couldn't stay sober if he got paid for it. 😆
Song IS ' what Laura say'
Can't hear Frank without a manchesssstah accccent!
Guys they Had to put the drink in his cause he was practically destroying the house
If they did it where they threww lettuce and tomatoe at hime on the way out it would have been 10X more comical, guaranteed.
Very unrealistic scene. Money or not he would needed treatment for few more days after the intial 2 days he wss at the hospital
Love Frankie 😝😝😝😝😝
What ep is that?
I liked the old bartender
Unrealistic, people spontaneous laugh? No way, a couple cat calls and most stay quiet.
It’s not supposed to be realistic dipshit

It's the same storyline in the US version (which is better anyway) you shithead
Thank you I freaking agree :) I love when Lip poured vodka in his mouth to make him not get the money!
gareth14111984 Are you an idiot? It's the exact same storyline in the US version. Or did you believe fucking Frank saying he's doing it for the good of society, lmao.
He’s fucking lying in this scene my dude. Of course he did it for beer money. It’s the same story.
Wtf are you on about? Thats the joke, frank is a piece of shit and the show made it obvious that he was doing it for the money
By this point in time Frank would be mush brain, fuckin' mush brain. Wouldn't be able to form such a string of coherent sentences if his life was one the line (or if he was promised a lifetime of free booze!).
