Charlie the Unicorn is Paul Matthews coded: An overly long analysis

So, I've rewatched the entire series of Charlie the Unicorn multiple times, and with it has come a whole lotta brainrot. Not only is it just a great series in general and I love the absurdism of it all, but there's also something else I love about that I just... could not put my finger on. Well, that's until I listened to the song "Everyone is Smiling", and the reprise Charlie later sings. Charlie the Unicorn (both the series and the character) is incredibly Paul Matthews coded and I feel things about it.

(the rest is under the cut because I kinda made this waaayyyyy too long than I meant to)

First, let's talk about Charlie the Unicorn. Charlie, as a character, has no control over his life. He has to follow along with whatever his tormentors, two other unicorns by the name of Pink and Blue, decide would be fun, and it seems like he exists only to follow along with what they want. If they want to steal his kidneys or drag him to the moon, there is nothing he can do about it.

Well, nothing except complain.

See, there is one thing he CAN control, and that is his emotions, and how he feels about all the fucked up shit he has to deal with. The antagonists of the show constantly are shown to be annoyed by Charlie's negative outlook, and they make desperate attempts to strip him of the tiny shred of autonomy he has. The most obvious of these attempts, of course, being the somg song "Everyone is Smiling", where a dolphin wonders how Charlie could still frown and be so depressed when everyone around him is having a fantastic time, and tries to get him to join in and ignore the horrible shit that's going around him. The final lyric of the song before the dolphin leaves is literally "Just stop feeling dread, so there can be good times ahead." Then, there's the reveal that both Pink and Blue, the people that have been torturing our protagonist since the series began, are just corpses puppeted around by literal demons, where you can really start to see the similarities.

Then, there's other half of this comparison, that being Paul Matthews himself. In TGWDLM, there are many signs pointing to the fact that Paul's fate was sealed the moment the show began.

For example, there's the opening of the show, which has the entire cast of actors all onstage already singing and dancing, including Emma who only gets infected by the very end, or the entire existence of the finale and how it's literally just Paul singing about he was doomed from the start and the fact that the song is LITERALLY TITLED INEVITABLE, or the little detail you see even before you watch the show: the title of the musical. What is it called again? Oh, right, The Guy Who DIDN'T Like Musicals, "didn't" being in past tense. He has no control over what will happen to him, his fate is set from the moment the show began.

However, there is one thing he does have control over, that being how he feels and reacts to the apocalypse, his strong dislike of musicals, and his strong lack of a "want". The infected zombies see all of this for what it is; the one thing standing between them and complete control and power over him. Paul's lack of strong desires especially means that they don't have something obvious to exploit, and they can't trick him into accepting apotheosis by making him sing an I Want song.

That leads us to "Let It Out", where the infected zombies all wonder how Paul could possibly not accept apotheosis yet, how he can still refuse to listen to call of the singular voice when he'd finally feel happy (wouldn't that be nice?) and get what he wanted. In this moment, he is surrounded by corpses of his friends puppeted around by an eldritch god, trying to strip him of the small shred of autonomy he has.

This is where their stories start to kind of diverge.

See, Charlie succeeds in defeating his tormentors, shaking off their control over him and his world for good. He does this by singing a reprise "Everyone is Smiling", a direct response to the passive aggressive tune claiming that it's his fault for being miserable, that everything would be easier if he decided to smile instead. In this reprise, he asks why he has to smile, even as the world ends and it withers and dies. He accepts a world that is dead and through his negativity he manages to banish the demons that have been ruining his world. Paul, meanwhile, succumbs to the Apotheosis with a smile. His tormentors succeeds in stripping him of his autonomy, in removing his dislike of musicals and forcing him to accept apotheosis and the withered and dead world that comes with it. This is made increasingly easier by the fact that Paul has a want now, he wants to make a world where he and Emma can be happy together. Where Paul fails to save his world, Charlie succeeds.

In a way, the stories of Charlie the Unicorn and TGWDLM are kind of different versions of the same core premise. One where the protagonist manages to not only cling to their teensy shred of autonomy but also use it to defeat the demons that have been sucking the life out of their world, and one where their small amount of control is not just ripped away, but they're convinced to throw it away themselves.

izzy is like if charlie the unicorn was unsympathetic and the blue and pink unicorns took his leg instead of his kidneys and horn and also deserved to be tormented by actual demons. gonna try putting a banana in his ear now and see if that helps.

Rebecca "Becca" Leona Hyde, Jackie and Hyde's daughter, if she time-traveled back into the 70s...

*Is willing to sell one of her kidneys to see Led Zeppelin in concert, "like Charlie the unicorn."

Leah: Didn't they take his freaking kidney?

Becca: Yeah, Form...Leah, but I'm willing to sell it.

*Has to bite her tongue when she tries to call Kate or Leah "Forman."

*She likes Blondie, Fleetwood Mac, and occasionally Heart, like Jackie. But everything else she listens to is right up Hyde's alley.

*She happily jumps right into the punk scene.

*She finds the coolest clothes everywhere, especially in thrift shops, and tries to pack them in the time machine.

*She knows all the upcoming fashion trends ahead of time, and participates in the ones she likes months before they become big, and calls herself a trendsetter.

*States that Farrah Fawcett's hair is the precursor to the "worst hair you'll ever see."

*She purposely tells the gang that someday, the drinking age throughout the country is going to be 21, and it's going to suck.

James (with an uneasy smirk): It's only gonna happen because the government is gonna threaten to pull highway funding.

Becca: Then, you're gonna be able to vote and serve your country, but you can't have a fucking drink.

Sometimes the humor in a thing is just 404 error not found for me for no reason i can understand, i think. Like charlie the unicorn. I watched the video so many times in first grade and i never got the joke. If there even was a joke, im not sure if there was. Was the kidney thing the joke? Why did they take the kidney or why was that funny. I've even rewatched it as an adult and i still dont "get it"

[theforestsauvage]

Trump voice: Pooooor Charlie, you remember Charlie? CHARLIE, the unicorn… poor Charlie. They tooK his kidneys! They said ‘Come to candy mountain!’ candy mountain… what a lie, a Big lie. But that’s ok folks, that’s ok.

[littleblondesoprano]

I had a thought about a mobster talking to a new guy like: “eyy, ya name’s Charlie? Like that unicorn? Ah shit he was a funny guy, puttin a banana in his ear. Wait, you never heard’a Charlie? Mm. Take ‘em to Candy Mountain, boys.”

And then they steal his kidney.

#littleblondesoprano #god I feel old now #Charlie the unicorn and llamas with hats were my middle school years #just a weird low BG thought

[lucy-the-demon]

I just had the funniest idea.

Imagine jas and Vincent are playing with unicorns and they asked Shane to play with him so he brings out Charlie and they're recreating charlie the unicorn

Jas: were going to candy mountain Charlie!

Shane: voicing Charlie with his monotone masculine voice* there's no candy mountain guys..

Vincent: let's gooo! Candy Mountain Charlie!! Candy mountain!

Jas and Vincent: leave with the unicorn toys*

Shane: * drunk as fuck* aww they took my frickin kidney!

That sounds so fucking funny to me. I gotta draw that hopefully nobody steals my idea!

#stardew valley memes #sdv shane #sdv jas #shane stardew valley #idk its funny to me #candy mountain Charlie! #remember that shit? #am i old or does anybody remember Charlie the unicorn #im literally 18 how would i be old? #charlie the chicken #chicken man #stardew valley chicken man #shane would probably do it for jas #in that exact voice too #thats a throwback frfr #sdv vincent #depression recovery chicken #i need to draw that honestly

*chanting* friend fiction! friend fiction! friend fiction! number 6, illusion

6-Illusion

I'm assuming ur the friend in this fiction

"It's like. Water."

Allison blinked.

"Water?"

Charlie nodded.

"On the hot street. In the. The hot street, and you see puddles that aren't there."

Allison nodded.

"No I understand. But are you trying to say that this thing," she gestured at the unicorn, "Is a mirage?"

Charlie stared at it. It stared back.

"I am," he announced grandly, "Drunk right now."

"Ok," Allison said, "Well I'm not. And it's real."

The thing nickered softly and started nosing at Alli's hand. She cautiously rubbed it's nose. Charlie glared.

"If that thing says a single syllable about candy mountain-"

She whacked him in the stomach.

"My friggin' kidney," he grunted.

She whacked him again. The unicorn laughed.

i remember when i watched charlie the unicorn for the first time and we got to the part where he gets his kidney stolen i got like really horny but i didn't know what that word really meant and i just felt sort of ashamed and tried to keep quiet but that experience has stuck with me Forever

charlie the unicorn pre video 4 feel like the long suffering older brother unwillingly dragged along with the shit his little siblings pull kidney stealing and all ie video 3 "charlie watch out for the blehblehbleh!! grab on to our tongues!!"

#when i was younger i straight up thought he was the pink and blue unicorn's older brother because why else would he be hanging out with them #of course reality turned out to be infinitely more sadder for him #obligatory sorry to my real life older sister for putting up with me 🫶 #also sorry if i dont make much sense rn currently my mind is a foggy abyss #low pitched finite woofing
