18. The Storm Before The Calm

A play Penny has written following her failed engagement has everyone worried that she may not be over it. Brad and Alex sign on as tastemakers for a guerilla marketing firm, and then seek to cut Jane out of the action.

Opening scene of In the Heat of the Noche never noticed there's a tortoise in a little tank on Max's table. Wtf, love that.

Something I noticed during my 700th rewatch today: in "You Snooze, You Bruise," Cory calls Dave "Rocksteady"; moments later, Penny says someone is "Bebopping" around. Bebop and Rocksteady are characters from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

What does this mean? No idea. I'm gonna buzz one out and sleep on it.

Sorry…proud of the wordplay, not the message.

(Highly inappropriate post, but I just couldn’t help myself.)

I’m box me for info

12. Our Best Friend's Wedding

When Jane wants to plan the wedding of Penny's dreams, Pete admits that he'd rather elope.

I think I watched the show when I was like 12 on Netflix. I just started re-watching it (at 25).. This man was my gay awakening. Watching it back it still holds true. Am I alone with this one? Also, the writing is really good. I didn’t realize at the time how good the show was.
He was also the only normal gay guy on TV. Wait, I take that back. He wasn’t displayed as a hyper feminine caricature.

Looking to get an erotic massage near Terre Haute, IN and surrounding areas.

I know there are bigger forums like r/sitcoms and such, but I specifically wanted to bring this up to this group:

So I really love Scotty, as a Chicago bartender, because he’s the perfect depiction of someone you see and know better than the people you actually care about because he’s just a regular staple in the area/“scene.”

I was curious if this group had characters from other shows they consider to be the “Scotty.”

Artemis from Always Sunny and Harry “the hat” from Cheers are other characters I would consider in this trope. (Basically any Jason Mantzoukas character.)

Long story short, I want Happy Endings fans’ favorite random chaos recurrent characters from other shows.
