How Charlie Manipulated The Waitress in It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia

So by this logic, we're getting a "how Mac manipulates everyone" video very soon. He's very good at playing both sides after all.

i can’t wait for “how Mac manipulates himself”

His manipulation is so good, they're married with kids in real life.

It's a testament to their performances that you fully buy into The Waitress' hatred of Charlie and Charlie's manipulation of her, despite the fact that in reality they're married to each other.

If the shows tone was different, the arc of Charlie finally banging the waitress but then getting bored of her would be especially devastating and heartbreaking

Charlie is like a teenage boy who doesn’t realise how desperate he comes across

Charlie finally realizing that the Waitress is in fact the worst after a decade+ of stalking her is such a vibe lmao

People forget that he’s actually a bad dude

Comparing Charlie's actions to Jim's is a *_massive_* false equivalency. Jim made one real move when Pam was still engaged with the ultimatum and when she definitively said no, he respected that and moved on until he came back to Scranton and she started to show interest after leaving Roy. Charlie obsessively stalked and harassed the waitress; he knew her entire schedule and routine, had a way into her apartment, could sabotage her at any time with this access, and wouldn't leave her alone until she finally slept with him and he totally lost interest. Jim never did anything even close to that. Those two situations are night and day, you gave Charlie way too much grace here lol. Blatant obsessive stalking for 20 years is nowhere near the same as shooting your shot a few more times after being rejected.
