Remember in my name is Earl when Earl was making it up to the old trailer park manager who he made think she could hear god by tuning into her hearing aid and she became super mean again after he told her and she went after Darnell and Mr. Turtle by telling Darnell he couldn't have any reptiles in the park unless you're making soup and he immediately got up and with a face of pure devastation he cried out for Joy? Because I still think about how sweet it was
I love My Name is Earl so fucking much and here are my thoughts upon my millionth rewatch.
Earl, Crab Man, Catalina, and Billie are all bisexual.
Randy is asexual but still experiences romantic attraction.
Joy is the only straight one. Kenny is the only gay one.
Earl and Crab Man has one of the best "bromances." (Next to Scrubs JD and Turk) They have such a healthy respect for each other despite having been with Joy at separate and overlapping times. Most shows would make them hate each other. But Darnell is always a positive character. He's so genuine and compassionate. Such a breath of fresh air for TV. It's nice to see a man so in touch with his feelings and LOVING his wife. Joys a bitch (affectionate) and I love that. She gets to be the mean one. She gets to be angry, and he gets to be nice. They both love that setup. And I love that for them.
Billie is the antithesis of Earl. I know that's obvious, but it's still very interesting. They both grew up in perfectly fine households and willingly chose to do wrong. Once they both got hit by Karma, they each dealt with it in different ways. Earl showed genuine remorse. He tried to do more than say 'sorry' and move on. Billie took the easy way out. She did the surface level work. Karma brought them together as a warning to Earl, I think. This is what you were, who you almost became again. This is how people perceived you. She had a chance to do better and actively chose to ignore it. She made the people around her miserable. Earl, on the other hand, went out of his way to build trust with those around him. (I have more to say on this, but I'll make another post)
Kenny and Earl could and would work. I think Earl has a LOT of unpacked homophobia. And, Kenny is one of the people Earl went out of his way to mend his relationship with. Most of the others were a one - or two episode thing and done. But Kenny constantly popped up. I know I'm probably being crazy with this one, but I think Earl liked Kenny. I think part of why he bullied him was that unpacked homophobia. And Kenny, that sweet forgiving fucker, is actually good for him.
Your Icon Lives in Your Comfort TV Show. What Now?
Oh, Lawdy Lawdy...
Well, that would be My Name is Earl. So now they live in a run-down 70's trailer. Matt spends his days playing video games and smoking. Mello is trying to get a book published...and is on Earl's list. (Number 386: Ruined Mihael Keehl's Book Signing). They're like a gay expy of Joy and Darnell.
Does Mr. Turner like rubbing his “son’s” successful career in Dinkleberg’s face??
He does! He brags about Timmy's success to every person within the neighborhood's vicinity. Mr. Turner loves how successful his son is! It really secures his reputation at the neighborhood HOA meetings they host at their house.
Timmy's worked very hard to gain more successes than failures. The more successful he is, the greater his family's social standing!! And the less he gets to overhear his dad ranting to the neighborhood about his failures.
Zane says ‘cinematic’ and Alex can barely contain himself. He gets all stimmy with his hand and stutters over his words and then has to look away immediately. It’s so rare to see him this enthusiastic, it’s nice.
