Hi Teddy hi thank u for doing a favor for this sick old man ahdjfkgl
So I feel like I’ve never talked about this but Charlie’s job is technically that he’s a janitor! I mean. Well. Yeah ahdjffl Mac and Dennis bought Pa.ddy’s Pub with him and then he traded most of his shares for, among other things, half of a sandwich. So I mean he’s a co-owner but not in any way where they respect his input on stuff.
He’s the guy who keeps the bar running in tip-top shape (or…. Functional anyway ahdjfl). He cleans it and handles pests and does any maintenance work, and really anything else the gang doesn’t wanna do. They call all of this “Charlie Work” and they can basically label anything as “Charlie Work” to put it off on him.
A big part of his job is dealing with the rat problem that Paddy’s has?? Like the reason he’s referred to as the rat king is because he physically handles them. Like, not only does he lay down traps but it’s also up to him to kill them himself… And there’s an episode where he kinda realizes how messed up it is. He has this terrible existential crisis where he realizes that they’re living things, and he doesn’t want to hurt them anymore. He kind of realizes how terrible it would be to be treated that way.
I mean, after that it’s not really discussed what he does with the rats anymore as far as I remember? The gang did make him a new rat stick (you know. A weapon for the rats) at the end of the episode and he seemed pretty stoked. But, although the rat thing is something they talk about a lot in earlier seasons, it’s less focused on later so maybe he did grow from that episode? Idk ahdjfl
I was gonna go on a rant about the episode about Charlie Work too but I figured that could be a post all on its own ahdjfl anyway my point here is that Charlie does, like, all of the dirty work at the bar and he never asks for recognition and I just think that he should be appreciated more. Ok end of rant ahdjffl
