Ok, so Charlie and his wife starred in some dudes satirical music video where they pretend to murder him, etc hence the fake blood. Anyway, the PR? team at the shoot interviewed them behind the scenes and theres a lot of debate in the comments over just wtf is going on in it. Is Charlie legit pissed and kinda playing it off as a joke? Body language is kinda telling me and others that hes hiding annoyance behind the joke, but knowing him… hes so goofy and always doing wacky antics anyway that its hard to tell.  
The interview company that broadcasted it claims he wasnt really annoyed and was joking and “provided by Charlie” (the heck does that mean?) so no idea. And what the hell is the camera guy saying in each part???  
So… is he annoyed about being filmed during a private moment? Being a dick? Or just playing around? Hes mostly known to be a very sweet, humble, kind, yet very funny guy, as anyone familiar with his show that hes got a wild humor, too.

Whats your takes, guys?

Also, has anyone here ever met or worked with him before or met the Sunny cast?

Anyway, heres the clip in question:

It seems like nothing more than a semi-planned goofy moment to me.

I’m more surprised to find out that he is really married to The Waitress.

I don’t see anything worth discussing in a half minute clip of Charlie Day in the middle of shooting a scene. The video appears to be a promo for a website associated with the YouTube channel.

I take it that he and his wife thought they were off-camera and were talking, so when the guy came up and started filming him with his phone he was slightly annoyed, and turned it into some schtick. He’s smart enough to know that if acted really annoyed “Hey, asshole, could you please tell us before you start recording us?” it would have blown up into something much bigger.

That is clearly a joke to me. He’s not acting any different than he might on the Always Sunny podcast, for instance.

Probably. The interview website owner said on youtube something to another user like “it was provided by Charlie. He wasnt annoyed.” So, who knows. 🤣

In that context, his comments about the money part…what he mean by that? Like sarcastic or like a sarcastic oh he should be getting paid for all these privacy interruption filmings? Or talking about the music video itself?

Its hard to tell as its almost impossible to hear what the camera guy is saying apart from a few words. Can you make any of it out?

Yeah, he’s married to the Waitress, Mac is married to Sweet Dee, and Dennis is married to Kaylee the pharmacist, who was featured in the episode _The D.E.N.N.I.S. System_.

And to be completist - Charlie and the Waitress were already married when the show started, Mac and Sweet Dee married around Season 4, and Dennis and Kaylee married right around the time they were filming _The D.E.N.N.I.S. System_

He’s joking about how he considers himself a big shot movie star who doesn’t do anything for free (whereas he’s actually pretty humble in real life).

This episode was a classic. Deranged and glorious. Dennis is a fun sociopath. 🤣

Charlie and The Waitress actually appeared in an episode of _Reno 911!_ where they played an incestuous couple. They’d been dating about 3 years at that point. According to his wiki, they’ve been together since 2001.

Yeah, it’s definitely top 25, probably top 10. The M.A.C. system, Dr. Mantis Tobaggan and his magnum dong, Dee’s soldier boyfriend and his face painting at the carnival, Charlie breaking the waitress’s garbage disposal, etc.

Though I don’t know about “fun”. The implication speech (another top 10 episode!) was pretty terrifying.

But whats this in context to the camera guy? Like just talking about being in the music video altogether? or doing the behind the scenes? he looked kind of bugged by the guy getting up in he and his wifes face kinda. id be.
