Hey Creeps! What’s your favorite Rickety Cricket moment on Always Sunny?
"You gotta keep it sexy, hips and nips otherwise I'm not eating" -coked up cricket
The sucking on lemons bit always cracks me up :)
The parkour stuff in the manhunters and crickets tale episodes. I was a little disappointed that it wasn't brought up at any point.
There's just sooo many.
I’ll answer but it’ll cost you a whole sixer
Now we need to get the McPoyle brothers on here
YES
“They willl calllll theeemmmm”
Margaret too. I'm curious as to how she sounds/looks off set
Need a "Always sunny in Westworld" spin
That would be incredible
The visual was so bizarre. A clean shaven Charlie, Glenn and Rob having buzz cuts. Meanwhile David hasn’t aged in 20 years. Looked like if instead of ruining his life, Cricket converted the gang lol
Charlie had me confused...lol. looked different...couldn't figure out what it was. Thank you for pointing that out.
David looks great. I guess Strawberry Blonds don't crack?
It's jarring because Cricket did age horribly on the show, yet the actor looks like they plucked him out of those original clips.
@@natelevy1040that is jarring because the OP said exactly that.
@@osplizz that is jarring because it's not how it went down at all.
Cricket's arc has been one of the funniest things in television history
can't believe David wanted additional payment beyond just the lemons- the scurvy-prevention is worth its vitamins in gold
He went from a handsome man of God to an actual ghoul... all because he was unfortunate enough to cross paths with The Gang :)
It's less of an arc and more of a constant steep downhill slope
@@kareemyasser3590 Like an inverted arc where you just lose momentum and stop at the bottom like a half pipe or a ditch
Right ✅
I hope David knows how important he was and is to sunny being what it is.
Cut that
Cut that
Cut that
I never want to stop seeing his credit before an episode, the man is fantastic
100% he is so talented
@@kaitlynm9463 does my scar look like a dog vagina?
Hips and nips, otherwise I'm not eatin'
“you look exactly the same. that’s very upsetting to me!”
is such a dennis thing to say omg why do i love this man so much 😭
Using actual clips from the show (and from "Boldly Going Nowhere") is a MASSIVE improvement to the Pod. Great job guys!
Isn’t is crazy that the creators of their own show aren’t weren’t aloud to show clips of their own show on their own, official podcast
@@tlc9316 not crazy at all, contracts have specific wording for a reason.
@@theguythatpissedyouoff3247 shut up guy
@@eb2558 I’m not your guy, pal.
@@YinkThePinkInkDrinker I'm not your pal, buddy
So stoked to have Cricket come on!! As a creep I gotta say the editing, and set look awesome what an evolution from day one! Great job to the team!
Seriously
The editing alone is so much better than any other podcast i watch. You can tell it's done by a professional and not just some comedian's friend!
Meg is the mastermind for that!
The ads look like a table read, with the script in their hands 😁
Being a creep is so much better than being a listener. The visual back and forth that they give off are just so fucking hilarious
a creep?
@@powpow9560 it’s what the gang calls the podcast viewers. Fans that just listen are “listeners” and watchers are “creeps. ” I think Mac or Glenn made it up
@@TheBigbody2007 Ah right okay, thanks for explaining
Yeah they secretly despise podcast fans but they aren’t above cashing out on them.
@@commanderjonson2610 Yeah, not sure what the big joke here is, I don't appreciate being called a creep for watching something they specifically film for us. And the ridiculous ads? Do they really need money so badly?
Charlie Day I think is the only person on planet earth who looks older withOUT a beard
It’s really strange, but you’re right
He needs to grow that fucken beard back.
Lol he doesn’t even look like Charlie😂wtf?!
Kyrie Irving
He kinda looks like Rich Evans without the beard
I always imagined the sound cricket makes from the lemon is based on pain from his open crack sores in his mouth interacting with the acid from the lemon
Dude, they HAVE to give us "Boldly Going Nowhere". Those couple of minutes hooked me in.
Saaaaaaame!!!!!
I swear to God if they don't show it....I'm going to hold my breath until they do
Yeah but you were SMACKIN IT!!!
@@kalibos being all loouud!!
+1
Funny that Chad Coleman ended up in another Star Trek homage now
The whole jean shorts monologue is such underrated genius. The implication of this man having a harrowing jean-shorts history that runs so deep that it comes out in drunk-party talk is just so over the top hilarious. It makes me think of an elderly man on his deathbed desperately trying to convey to his grandson that he doesn't repeat the same mistakes he made...with jean shorts.
I think about that monologue every time I see a pair of jean shorts and I can't stop laughing.
i'm wearing jean shorts rn and was about to take a nap and had a flash memory of "you have to take 'em off"
i like to interpret it like he liked those jeans so much that he wants the guy to take them off so he can snatch them 😭😭
@lukestar2218 I never thought of it like that, and you broke my brain. That's hilarious that way too 🤣
Average male lore
Over an hour-long podcast ep AND we get Cricket himself as a guest? Today is already a great day :)
Hips AND Nips???
Looks like I’m Eatin
Every time glen does an impression it is always shockingly good
Especially of Spielberg
"Remind me who you are again"
The "did you get your shot mr. producer?" bit is one of the funniest things I've heard in a while
Someone finally offered Cricket some lemons to make an appearance! 🍋🍋🍋
TSSSSSSSAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!
Beat me to it 😂
@@wade_bo LMAO that was the best sound any human made in tv history
That's tart
He was promised the chicken tho
He's never going to see this, and it's nothing to do with IASIP... But David encapsulates the role of Executive Producer in Mythic Quest, scarily well. I've worked in games for 20 years and he is literally every producer I've ever worked with, rolled into one. Just amazing. As Cricket, his acting is insane too. But I don't have too much of a frame of reference for Priests that descend into a personal, drug fuelled hell.
I do, and let me tell ya, he’s spot on.
The dog orgies are the most realistic part and he plays it perfectly
mythic.. quest?
Mister Quest you mean
You hiring?
Cricket is one of the funniest guys in the show.. watching the bloopers for the show made me appreciate him so much more
"u might wanna use the red"
Yeah, he's a great improvisor and a good actor. I kinda doubt he'll ever get a performance that overshadows cricket though, it's just such an incredible character.
It always breaks my heart that the best Cricket lines never make it into the show, because the guys all crack up and ruin the takes.
“Well, sometimes you don’t fake it and it just ends… naturally.”
He’s great in Mythic Quest.
Rob's story of David refusing to put his book away was amazing. Love that
David is so underrated as a comedian. He kills it in IASIP and Mythic Quest
It's so sweet that Charlie dressed up for Hornsby, and started taking on the role of host as the episode progressed to bring the conversation back to him. Considering how far they go back, it's no wonder. You can tell there is just so much respect and love between them.
Shut up
It's just a shame the same respect and peerage isn't extended to the female actresses/collaborators they've had on. With both Kaitlin and Mary Elizabeth, it was ALL about the guys shooting the shit and both actresses became visibly and vocally annoyed with being brought on only to be treated like a prop at a sausage fest.
@@starofsyzygy3104 lol what are you on about?
@@starofsyzygy3104 This is remarkably stupid and wrong.
@@starofsyzygy3104 obvious troll is obvious
My favorite Cricket moment is in the delivery room when the heartwarming Kate Bush plays and we pan to Crick lighting an aluminum foil crackpipe.
Fecken hilarious!
This felt like the most organic episode yet. You can truly see the friendship they all have here. It feels like David might be the glue that holds them together.
Really? I feel like Rob and David have some tension..
@@mrs._.potatoes Because Rob thinks he's the glue that holds them together lol
Wow, y'all really are masters of non verbal communication, you should work for the FBI. What a load of nonsense.
I feel like Nifemi is overly hostile to strangers because he secretly thought he's the glue that holds the internet together.
@@nifemi_o Everyone’s joking, way to read the room
David’s little notecard bits of ted talk wisdom kills me everytime i rewatch this episode of the podcast, i would listen to an entire episode of him just reading off more of those
i love how david's character in boldly going nowhere is exactly the same as his character in mythic quest. one of the all time greatest typecast actors

Thanks for all the images and clips from the guys' pre-Sunny shows and Boldly Going Nowhere! It makes the discussions easier to follow!
Hey thanks! 💗
You need to produce my podcast😂🤌🏾💪🏾
This one of the most detailed timestamp comments I've ever seen!
Sandy Duncan does *not* have a glass eye but she did lose vision in her left eye from surgery to remove a benign brain tumor behind her left optic nerve.
So unnecessary just gonna watch the whole thing
we need an episode with Jimmi Simpson and Pondy! he’s the coolest after all. Danny should be later like a final boss with a special hour and half long episode.
Jimmi Simpson is super busy these days, so I could see that being hard to schedule.
Ah Pondy. Magnificent hot mess of a man!
@@scammin4pigham150 ah yes, Elden Ring, famously the only videogame that has a final boss
@@scammin4pigham150 you want to kiss me so bad that it makes you look insane
@@scammin4pigham150 Nah
If I had known Cricket was coming I would’ve brought a full sixer!!! HE HAS HIS DIGNITY!!!
i mean not like we are going to give you all the beer....
@@daytonjason What are we going to do? Give you all the beer in the world!
the best part of this is seeing friends of 25 years still making each other giggle with old and new jokes
It’s so great to see these guys all together - I can see so clearly why they cast David and continued to involve him… what a beautifully cool fella.
He flows with the guys so well.
I could have listened to David reading his notecards and the overly-underwhelming response from the others for another hour. That was hilarious.
a lot like Norm's podcast was with the bad jokes. Brilliant.
That dumb bird and the waitress a couple weeks ago crickety cricket today...I love this podcast so much. I can't wait wait for Danny DeVito to appear
Maybe a ep 50 special. I’m not sure how much they pay for the podcast either lol
Yeah, that's the big one for sure. I'd love to see Danny just off script.
Yeah looking forward to that
Best for last,,,,
Chad’s reading of that line from Boldly Going Nowhere was so funny. “Yeah, but you were smackin it! Bein all loud!!”
PLEASE include more outtakes like the "faking it" riff, where we get to see them develop a joke through improv over repeated takes. That and the bit from last time where Charlie and Glenn redid the board game scene are the best parts of this awesome podcast
I loved the riff at the end. And from this interview with Hornsby I really got the impression that he enables so much on the show. His presence and the way he facilitates the conversations just really brings out the best in everyone. Excellent episode!
We'd love to see Boldly Going Nowhere and other old clips from the original Sunny pilot! And yes _PLEASE_ to an episode with Chad Coleman! Z is such an underrated and underused side character. I know a lot of people want Jimmi Simpson and Nate Mooney on the podcast too (and that would be amazing), but may I suggest Scott Marder and Rob Rosell since their writing seems to have had such an effect on the show?
Love seeing David Hornsby, would love to see Chad Coleman on the show, but who I really want to see on the show is Jimmy Simpson.
Abso-freaking-lutely!!! Have you ever seen the clips of the recurring bit Jimmi did on Letterman where he played an intern for the show? If anyone of you out there has not seen it just search "Lyle the intern Letterman". There's an hour-long compilation of Jimmi & David Letterman just riffing and it is, arguably, the funniest compilation I've ever seen in my life. I'm going to post another comment with a link just in case the post gets taken down.
Jimmi Simpson compilation on Letterman as Lyle the intern.
th-cam.com/video/j-FCEQNn3X4/w-d-xo.html
Jimmi probably wants to forget he was part of the show considering he's doing all serious roles now.
@@notchedbandit that’s a bummer. There are millions of serious actors, but not enough genuinely good comedy actors like him.
@Notched Bandit doesn't mean he forgot his comedy roots
My mother passed away last night, so this is great timing to make me forget the pain I'm in at the moment. Once more, thanks for everything you've given fans over the years, you really help so many people in the most toughest of times.
Im sorry for your loss friend.
i know what you're going through, stay strong friend.
Really sorry for your loss.
❤️
Sorry friend....*offers egg*
Literally my comfort podcast. Every episode I’m like “this is the best episode yet!”
"So were these to create a lull or fill one?" Damn Megan going hard with that one! 😂
savage 🤣
go O's
I 100% thought his voice was a voice he made up for the character, and was not expecting him to sound like that 😂😂
Goddammit SARAH I love it! You BIRD!
Glenn Howerton cracking up in the Lemon bloopers makes me laugh every time!🤣
Only show where the bloopers are just as good as the show!
My favorite episode from this podcast. The chemistry between everyone is phenomenal when David is in the room.
It’s insane how talented Glen is. He can act, do impressions, sing, he’s funny, handsome, charming
He's a golden god
Six star man
david brittlesbee is such a fun, weirdly relatable character. he's the whole reason I fell in love with mythic quest, which btw is what actually made me decide to watch sunny (I had tried before but thought it wasn't for me). now I'm obsessed with both shows and with his sense of humor. can't wait to see what he'll write next
The only podcast I love when they talk over each other 😂 it’s like watching a new unscripted episode of sunny
I am sincerely overjoyed to see Hornsby on this show, can't wait for Danny next!
Meeting all the other cast one by one, i realise why the show is so good, cuz theyre all so funny
"U know how many times i fake it on the streets? Ya gotta fake it. Ones who dont get it the worst." Lolol
Really liked David Hornsby since Joe Schmoe days. Truly an underrated staple of Sunny Lore! He truly elevated the comedy of IASIP. Legend.
David Hornsby is a crucial part of what makes Sunny such a success and I’m so glad we finally get to hear from him on a personal level
It's crazy David barely aged compared to his first appearance on the show back in season 2.
tbf he quickly spends most of his time looking like a disheveled street urchin
His character is like Dorian Gray portrait, it gets all the bad shit
@@vasvas8914 Yeah meanwhile there's a painting of him somewhere which just gets more and more handsome and healthy
Boldly Going Nowhere needs to be a full series/movie!
hell yeah
Megan came in there at the end and gave me the biggest laugh of the episode with her “was this to create a lull or in case of a lull?” 🤣
I've only connected on a show/reality level with 2 series, That 70's Show, and Sunny, I love being able to do that, and it happen so rare, it can't be forced. Feeling something real for all of the talent, and real people, with incredible back stories, and real life paths that brought them all together, it's something very special to me. These shows span over large parts of my life, and I can't thank you all enough.
What a perfect guest! You can tell how much they respect him by how quiet they stay for most of the episode. Very much enjoyed this one!
If watched in reverse, Cricket has the best character arc in the TV history!
That old footage of JImmy and David is so precious! 😀😃
I was watching a Cheers rerun the other day, and Carla did that exact "DONE!" gag that Frank did here LOL
Thank God for each one of these humans for the work and great content they have made. I watch sunny daily and have been for years. Never gets old!
Such a pleasure to hear more from David! I loved Megan's joke about the lull, also.
Always a Sunny week with the podcast on Monday mornings.
This is easily my favorite podcast on TH-cam now. And this particular podcast was great. It didn’t drag and felt like it went by so quickly but it had lots of laughs. And Hornsby didn’t even casually mention that his wife is Emily deschanel
I laugh at every episode, but this one had me crying from laughter. Numerous times. Such a great dynamic that David has with the group.
I love the episode The gang cracks the liberty Bell, Hornsby did an amazing job writing that episode
YES! That's one of my all-time faves, I can't believe he was the only writer! Great job!!
Rob physically putting his arm out when saying “at arms length” is such a Mac thing to do lmao
Cricket: Mr. Reynolds, I would like to ask for your daughter's hand in marriage.
Frank: DONE.
The brilliance of Danny DeVito is amazing. One word and he stole the entire scene!
i like this comment but won’t disturb the 69
this is the kinda shit I say when I'm fucking hammered.
While were begging for other characters to come on, I would LOVE if Lynne Marie Stewart (Charlie's mom) could guest!!
Life is super dark right now. I'm so happy to have this.
I feel that, brother. It's these little things I look forward to
Lol
Charlie loves him so much and it makes me so happy.
So glad they played that bit when he was on stage, that's one of my favorites scenes and I rewind to watch the timing every time! Nice to see Rob laughing as hard as I do!
"And that was the first time I thought to myself... I might die, and no one's going to remember..."
😂🤣
Charlie so happy to roast glen for being late after last week hahaha love this
Made the mistake of watching this during my lunchbreak. Almost choked on food multiple times from hilarious moments out of the blue. What an episode!!
Wanted to actually watch the episode for once before commenting, David was great. I really hope we get him back for the Cricket centric episode, where he makes out with the dog. It's basically an entire episode around him. Love the podcast, and love you guys, as always. Keep making magic, I hope Sunny and the Pod both run forever, until the heat death of the universe. Love ya
you know what episode of the tv show that was? can't for the life of me remember it
@@chill-_-839 'A Cricket's Tale' season 12 episode 9. A little while to wait for the podcast though!
I would love to see Boldly Going Nowhere. And having "Cricket" and "Dee" be married is a great little nod to the Always Sunny dynamic they had as if this were an alternate universe with them. I would watch that show in a heartbeat.
I love Hornsby's voice. Sounds like he really plats it up for Cricket.
I always thought a funny Cricket tattoo would be a “phases of Cricket,” like people get phases of the moon.
Excellent!
You could craft it like a sundial, with the faces of cricket slowly changing as the day progresses
Lol I love that 💖
Best ideaa !
I want to see so much more with David. He seems to be an incredibly important part of Sunny and Mr Quest but I don't know if we know much about his role over the years.
I don’t know if it was on purpose but I love that Glenn didn’t do the McDonalds ad🤣
ha-ha almost every genuine friendship I have had has started this way.
My favorite Cricket scene is in the family feud episode where he gives the inspirational video message & there’s a gasp of horror across the crowd
Oh, man! I'm pumped for this one, haha. Cricket is a legend.
I could barely recognize Cricket in real life with all his teeth and most of his dignity intact
Love Cricket for this episode, and definitely need Danny for the Poop the Bed episode!!
Or Artemis!
@@MisterRawgers YEAH! Those are characters from the show ! ! ! Yeah ! Whooo !
That'd be one of the worst possible episodes to have Danny on. 🤦♂️
Sincerely hope that doesn't happen and they save him for one that's actually good.
I love how David’s presence here has everyone in the room riffing a bunch. I feel like it gives a tiny glimpse into how the show gets written.
Jimi Simpson should be your next guest!
Love the show guys. Can't wait for season 16!
With how depraved Danny is in the show, an episode where he spends the day with Cricket doing homeless crackhead activities would be a great setting.
I think the snail is to depraved even for me
I love cracktivities
I think that's already the implication since very often Frank is the one who seemingly always stumbles upon Cricket when they need an extra for a scheme.
@@llJiggyFlyll interesting. Would make sense if cricket is under the bridge Frank frequents.
@@RemyMac would've been a better twist to have frank be his father instead of what we got in the cricket episode lol
Ok Meg, we need an episode of the cast w/ the other shows and pilots they’ve done pre-Sunny where the guys can talk about their experiences and favorites that lead up to Sunny!!! Maybe even how it helped them become the gang. When you showed the pilot it made me and I’m sure others go, dang they all worked on something together before?? What else have they done together etc. Think it’s be insane content. Thanks jj
The Strangers is one of my favorite horror movies. I know Glenn’s performance was short lived but it was awesome.
I clapped with them at the end 😂 I love the gang (and cricket lots too)!
Every episode Cricket is in is hands down one of my favorites! Loved that he came on! Glad he got lemons they’re good for scurvy 🍋
the gang squshes their beef "let's get weird" is my favorite line.
The episode we’ve all been waiting for with David on as a guest!!
Hilarious! Smiling throughout the entire podcast. Easily one of the best podcasts out right now.
Boldly Going Nowhere pilot was so good! Would LOVE to see more of it!!
I think this episode has the most positive and fizzling energy of all. David Hornsby is bringing some good stuff out of ye folks
Always sunny cast in a sci-fi comedy?! How have I not seen this 😭 we need more!
This was a solid episode throughout, you guys are getting so good at this, editing felt like a really nice step up as well.
I look forward to these so much every Monday, I hope you guys never stop.
If only every episode could be over an hour AND have a guest. Thank you Megan, you're the 🐐
The Jean shorts Is actually my fav scene in my very favorite episode of the entire show. So great.
