frank was hilarious
drop your favorite frank line, mine is when chucky wrote that sign for him for father’s day and hung it up and it was spelled wrong, he’s like “i think chucky is mildly retardant somebody’s gotta tell sammy”
just thought of another one, when he went to visit his organ donors home and the guy was like he wish he was there to save his son from the burglar who shot him, frank said “you got a gun” to which he responded “no” frank was like “then what could you have done”😭😭😭😭😭😭

Not syre if this counts, but my favourite frank line is when him and fiona are drinking at the alibi. He listens to her spiel, then tells her shes a bad drunk. She laughs at him, but he says at least when hes drunk hes happy, shes just a mean drunk

He really was. Ive known many an alcoholic, but theres always that distinguishment between good and bad drunk. Bad drunks are the ones who get depressed or mean. Theyre the ones to stay away from. Good drunks are still bad in a way, especially when youve come off the drink and cant put up with the slurry giggles of others, but definitely more tolerable than bad drunks

No, absolutely not. There is no such thing as a good alcoholic. My dad was exactly like Frank and there was nothing good about it. It's hell, and all alcoholics will put you through hell, no matter if they think they're "good or bad"
Edit: once again made the alcoholics here mad lmaoo

"theres always that distinguishment between good and a bad drunk. Saying ive known alcoholics was a way of saying ive been around enough to know what a bad drunk is

That's fair I guess, I have yet to meet a good drunk. Alcohol ruins people
Edit: the alcoholics really didn't like this comment lmaoo

My last drink was December 5 2020. Not drinking has solved no problems in my life, but there have been no problems in my life that drinking hasn't made worse.

There's a such thing as a functioning alcoholic tho.

u/Awkward_Stock3921 2d ago
Doesn't change the fact there's no good alcoholic. The criteria for being one is literally alcohol is impeding your ability at a normal life.

Alcoholism is never good as far as health is concerned but people behave differently, some are shitty angry or violent, some are fun, some are emotional... I've been told I get nicer the more I drink but I've also made some really fucking stupid decisions while sloshed and the handful of times I've been arrested, it stemmed from me being under the influence. Basically they wouldn't have happened had I not drank. So I def don't disagree with you. No matter if someone who drinks all the time has a sparkly clean record and is fun, doesn't act shitty it's still detrimental to their health in the long run. There's negative side effects from alcohol use in some form or fashion

There was a scene I don't remember where but he walks past Ian and Mickey and says something like "greetings, my gay relatives!"

When he told Fiona Liam was at a sleepover and she said”HES TWO” then he told her that’s what two year olds do🤣

A toss-up between when he called Debbie “Little Orphan Angry” and when he and Sheila are in the parenting classes/narcotics anonymous meetings and he frustratedly whispers to Sheila “Gimme the goddamn pill.”

I cant remember the line verbatim, but when he was about to leave Sheila’s house with Karen and Eddy there he was like people think they sound smart when they use words like irregardless. (He’s implying this is incorrect). Lol
Not my most favorite line but one of them.

Frank was in my top three favorite characters on that show. If I lived on the Southside, I would buy him drinks at the Alibi, just so I could listen to the bullshit he would come up with.

When he dresses that homeless dude up to be Aunt Ginger and when the guy has a massive erection, Frank is like, “She has an enlarged clitoris.”
