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.
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?
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
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 ✅
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.
@@Drunkenmallsanta I'm not your pal, buddy
“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 😭
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?
Someone finally offered Cricket some lemons to make an appearance! 🍋🍋🍋
TSSSSSSSAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!
Beat me to it 😂
@@wadeb5042 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?
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"
Every time glen does an impression it is always shockingly good
Especially of Spielberg
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
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. kzhead.info/sun/nZF_c6mJhaBpi2w/bejne.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
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
The "did you get your shot mr. producer?" bit is one of the funniest things I've heard in a while
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
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!
David is so underrated as a comedian. He kills it in IASIP and Mythic Quest
the best part of this is seeing friends of 25 years still making each other giggle with old and new jokes
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!
I was thinking that too!! I love the set
Meg is the mastermind for that! The ads look like a table read, with the script in their hands 😁
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!
Rob's story of David refusing to put his book away was amazing. Love that
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
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.
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!
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
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.
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
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,,,,
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
"So were these to create a lull or fill one?" Damn Megan going hard with that one! 😂
savage 🤣
go O's
the best bloopers are with cricket - my favourite one is "well sometimes you don't fake it"
You're going to need the red crayon!
And it just ends... naturally.
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.
I Know David thinks Cricket is an unrealistic character now but there are at least 10 crackheads where I live in east London U.K. that are exactly like Cricket 😂
London, Upper Kansas?
That’s unfortunate
@@rakino4418 no, East London, England lol
"U know how many times i fake it on the streets? Ya gotta fake it. Ones who dont get it the worst." Lolol
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
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
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
Really liked David Hornsby since Joe Schmoe days. Truly an underrated staple of Sunny Lore! He truly elevated the comedy of IASIP. Legend.

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
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
Literally my comfort podcast. Every episode I’m like “this is the best episode yet!”
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.
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?
If watched in reverse, Cricket has the best character arc in the TV history!
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?” 🤣
"Time is relative, call-time is doubly so." -Glenn Howerton
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..
@@louisemcmullan7457 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
Chad’s reading of that line from Boldly Going Nowhere was so funny. “Yeah, but you were smackin it! Bein all loud!!”
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
I was watching a Cheers rerun the other day, and Carla did that exact "DONE!" gag that Frank did here LOL
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
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.
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!
They got Cricket for an hour? That must have cost them a whole six pack, or maybe a bag of lemons
Well, they tricked him by offering chicken, but then he had to settle for lemons
To be fair- the lemons help him fight the scurvy
Did ye get ye shot?
"What is scaling?" Back into character for a sec.
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!!
The only podcast I love when they talk over each other 😂 it’s like watching a new unscripted episode of sunny
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*
Was Donovan McNabb not available to read that McDonald's ad?
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!
Boldly Going Nowhere needs to be a full series/movie!
hell yeah
I am sincerely overjoyed to see Hornsby on this show, can't wait for Danny next!
Bringing a book for whenever there's downtime: mood kindred.
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!
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 !
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
ha-ha almost every genuine friendship I have had has started this way.
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.
Meeting all the other cast one by one, i realise why the show is so good, cuz theyre all so funny
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!
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 🍋
You know, upon a rewatch, I noticed Glenn was genuinely annoyed coming in. Rob, as he is want to do, continued to prod. Charlie picked up on it and immediately defused the situation. Then all 3 found their "center" (as much as anyone of us can be truly centered) and continued on as if nothing happened because that's what people who have been friends for decades do. It's beautiful. I love you guys.
That's a great analysis. I could tell there was a bad vibe but couldn't put my finger on it
That old footage of JImmy and David is so precious! 😀😃
While were begging for other characters to come on, I would LOVE if Lynne Marie Stewart (Charlie's mom) could guest!!
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..." 😂🤣
These guys showing the bloopers and laughing is a dream come true.
I can't die happy unless I watch at least one episode of "Boldly Going Nowhere" please consider making this an internet series or something. Looks awesome.
I don’t know if it was on purpose but I love that Glenn didn’t do the McDonalds ad🤣
The way Glenn says Crickeeet just gets me every time 😂😂😂😂
Jimi Simpson should be your next guest! Love the show guys. Can't wait for season 16!
Charlie so happy to roast glen for being late after last week hahaha love this
My favorite episode from this podcast. The chemistry between everyone is phenomenal when David is in the room.
cricket has the funniest charact evolution together with Dennis
“Hi, I’m Rob…” “I got enough going on!” Underrated joke. That’s hilarious. 🤣 Such a mood.
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 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.
Rickety Cricket eating Lemons is the best thing to happen to TV since ever.
This was one of the funniest episodes, so good to hear Hornsby's insights. Very glad you all met!
This is easily my favorite podcast on KZhead 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
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!
Boldly Going Nowhere pilot was so good! Would LOVE to see more of it!!
Rob physically putting his arm out when saying “at arms length” is such a Mac thing to do lmao
"Remember, guys. Real champs eat at McDonald's.....I'm lovin' it. Can I get the check?" - Donovan McNabb
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.
The Jean shorts Is actually my fav scene in my very favorite episode of the entire show. So great.
My new favorite day of the week is Monday. You guys just make it so much better! My favorite Cricket moment is when Charlie and Dee are rubbing ''coke'' on Crickets gums after he sold all of it and they want him to go back out and do it again. Plus he thinks he is going to stay in Dees apartment which makes it extra funny! Love this show and the podcasts!
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!!
