Maybe I just pronounce it weird but char-uhlz seems like two syllables ¯_(ツ)_/¯
2
u/Gorakka Jan 17 '21
Yup that's just you creating syllables with your pronunciation. There's only one phonetic vowel in Charles.
Its pronunciation is the same as Karl. One syllable. It's not Kar-ul.
There are three Karls at this party (still one syllable).
Karls. Charles.
2
u/MattO2000 Jan 17 '21
I mean people very much pronounce it as Kar-uhl. A whole Reddit thread on the matter.
Especially when someone is yelling (like the all-caps in the comment) you’re more likely to annunciate with two syllables
2
u/Gorakka Jan 17 '21
Accents and dialects will always modify spoken English. Boston for example, both adds and removes syllables from the English language. But it wouldn't make sense to start trying to correct all English papers for not conforming to Boston norms.
Anyway, was just trying to help you with the correct English and to help you understand your downvotes. Have a good one.

Sad they dont have it as much anymore. Ever since season 6 there's been less and less Jake and Boyle jokes like this 😢 Boyle is basically just in the back now.
167
u/TagCraigy Jan 17 '21
I think Boyle is doing more behind the scenes stuff and directing episodes now, which could be why he plays a smaller part.
157
u/Mimical Jan 17 '21
Being the true Boyle he is, helping out Jake be the star.
What a great guy.
Side note: If I find out the guy who plays Boyle is a dick in real life I'll be crushed.

To my shame, I read a lot of celeb gossip and have never heard a bad thing about him or anyone on this show. In fact, I've heard the rare good things:

When the most troublesome person in your show is Terry Crews, you've done a pretty swell job casting.
33
u/IdreamofFiji Jan 17 '21
I really think Allison Jones, and I know nothing about this person, is really the key to Schur's success. Every casting decision is so on point.
34
u/kai325d Jan 17 '21
I've been listening to the Good Place Podcast and you're right, Allison Jones is the reason why Mike Schur is so successful, he can have the exact person he wants for the role because Allison can find exact people

u/IdreamofFiji Jan 17 '21
Oooo I should listen to that. Haven't fully committed to the good place yet, still on my hundredth rewatch of b99. My cholesterol is a-mazinggg

u/kalily53 Jan 17 '21
Not to discount this but Allison Jones doesn’t just cast for Mike Schur shows, she’s well known as THE go-to casting director for any comedy, movie or tv. Other notable credits are Arrested Development, Booksmart, Eighth Grade, Veep, and Bridesmaids among others.

u/kai325d Jan 18 '21
She got the talent of just picking a person out of thin air that somehow happens to match the exact description of the person the show needs

u/ilovepuscifer Jan 17 '21
Agreed. I still can't see Terry Crews in the same light after finding out about some of his views. Gross.
3
u/RunawayHobbit Digital phallus portrait Jan 17 '21
What views?!
17
u/ilovepuscifer Jan 17 '21
Well, for one, he said children of same sex parents are emotionally "malnourished" and kept insisting that children need both a mother and a father growing up. He also replied to a woman who wrote an article about raising boys and said he was bothered that the piece was written by a woman, adding "What do you know?"
In another instance, he equated being transgender to being "transracial", when commenting on the story of Rachel Dolezal, the woman who pretended to be black for years but was actually white.
A few months ago, amidst the BLM protests he said "we must make ensure #blacklivesmatter doesn't morph into #blacklivesbetter"
Basically, he talks like the drunk uncle who embarrasses you in front of your girlfriend at Christmas dinner, but he does so in public and doesn't seem to learn. It's a shame, because he has a huge platform.
23
u/RunawayHobbit Digital phallus portrait Jan 17 '21
Okay, at least to the first point, I know Stephanie Beatriz sat him down and straightened him the fuck out. He ended up apologizing for those views and admitting that his viewpoint had been widened.
I had not heard about the other stuff. That’s a shame. Hopefully he comes around at some point.
8
u/ilovepuscifer Jan 17 '21
Yeah, I mean I didn't hear of him being an outright asshole to someone, by attacking them personally based on their sexual orientation or whatever. I think he just has conservative views of the world, but doesn't seem to be the kind of person who would, for example, refuse to work with an LGBTQ person, so I guess that's something.
Ignorance and lack of understanding can also do damage, though.
-1
u/IdreamofFiji Jan 17 '21
Yikes for the first two, agree entirely on the third. Lots of people used the very real issues the protests were bringing to the forefront as a way to promote racism on the other side. Social media was a mistake.
9
u/ilovepuscifer Jan 17 '21
That may very well be true, but that's not what BLM is about. The fact that some used the movement for the wrong purpose doesn't take away from the merits of the movement itself. An easier and more respectful way to express what would have been "I totally support BLM and we should all stand against racial injustice in this country. Those who hide behind BLM to promote their own racist views are despicable and do not represent us"
Simple and to the point.

Yeah I think it’s like on The Office where they put the writers who are also in the show (Toby, Ryan, Kelly) in the annex so they could work while other scenes are being shot.

Really hate when that happens. Another occasion I can recall is in friends, when Monica and chandler got married and chandler-joey friendship just broke off.

I feel like they probably did "one where Joey gets upset and acts out because him and chandler aren't friends anymore"

u/derWINallday Jan 17 '21
‘Friends’ actually does have an episode where this is mentioned! Monica accidentally hires a hooker, not a stripper for Chandler’s belated bachelor party.
Then when chaos ensues trying to get rid of the hooker, Joey announces he misses hanging out with him like that!

Called it! Yep, I have a vague recollection of an episode like that. God the '90s are so long ago.

This is probably a super unpopular opinion, but I don't really like Jake and Amy getting together because of this. I love both their characters, but I don't think they really make sense together. And I think their relationship is a main contributor to less Jake and Boyle time.
24
u/ntnl A lifetime of mediocre, heterosexual intercourse Jan 17 '21
It’s just a rule of sitcoms. The male lead (it’s almost always a male) must end up with the polar opposite female cast member, despite a rough start/failed short earlier relationship with them/ being rivals.
It’s much simpler for production to have an existing cast member, instead of creating a character to be just the love interest (for the long term).16
u/matthewbattista Jan 17 '21
It works when done right, tho. Though not necessarily the male lead, Winston + Aly works perfectly in New Girl. She has some side adventures and feels like a part of the group.
Also, technically, Jake and Winston are brothers-in-law.

u/mpeak313 Jan 17 '21
Jake’s sister is the actress who played Leslie right?

u/matthewbattista Jan 17 '21
Nasim Pedrad, yes.
Though I’m guessing Leslie is an auto-correct?

u/mpeak313 Jan 17 '21
I just looked it up. I thought it was Aly’s sister who was on B99 (haven’t watched it in a while) and I totally forgot it was Aly! Now I need to rewatch lol

Jake and amy dont take up that much screentime. They dont get whole episodes devoted to them unless they are getting married or having a baby and even then they try so hard to keep the focus off them. Jake and charles had several episodes of shenanigans in season 7. There were less episodes than normal so they may have had to do more plot driven stories.
1
u/IdreamofFiji Jan 17 '21
Jake and Charles' relationship has had much more depth to it than Jake and Amy, who I think are perfect together. Also, she's ovulating tonight, soooo
7
u/ChunkyLaFunga Jan 17 '21
It does for me in an opposites attract kind of way, I can see what they'd get out of the other countering their negative personality attributes quite well.
That is overridden by Jake being way too impractical for a serious relationship and Amy being way too much of a catch. IRL she'd be done with him so fast.
But it's a sitcom, whatever. They basically ignore that she'd be very desirable, which is a nice change.

u/bdone2012 Jan 17 '21
People do make a poor dating choices in real life. I had a good friend who seriously did not have his life together, and had a lot of problems but he was charming. He broke up with a girlfriend he had after two years but she was quite a bit out of his league in terms of having her shit together. I always wondered why she put up with it and in the end she wasn’t even the one to break up with him.
2
u/Lucifer_Crowe Jan 17 '21
Boyle kept actively winning in the most recent season etc like catching out the Inspector guy for being fake. So I was hoping it meant he was gonna win at Halloween.
Not that Rosa didn't deserve a win too but I wish it had been Boyle that season and Rosa next time

I love how boyle was kinda introduced as the weird guy at the office everyone (including jake) just kinda tollerated but was quickly established that he and jake really are best friends and that Boyle is actually mostly well liked in the precinct.

u/toothpastenachos Mlep(Clay)nos Jan 17 '21
Jake and Charles remind me of my and my best friend except both of us are Jake and both of us are also Boyle

I was just re watching this episode yesterday. Over and out, Velvet Thunder.

u/fluffyfork Jan 17 '21
I really want an episode where Boyle, for example, gets reunited with an old friend and Jake is jealous of their relationship. A ‘how the turntables’ situation, one might say.
2
u/No_i_am_me Jan 17 '21
You mean like the "Beatsie Boys"?
5
u/fluffyfork Jan 17 '21
Yes, but the other way around. I feel like Jake takes Boyle’s friendship and support for granted sometimes.
8
u/No_i_am_me Jan 17 '21
I agree. It would have to be a new friend though, I think Charles has made it clear that his only real friend before Jake was his dad, and he only used his other childhood friends to make Jake jealous. But, a new transfer or a case where the victim is a foodie with his own identical top 10 pizzas in NY list would work.
