- The story of Rickety Cricket's fall from grace, seasons 2-10.
This is a fan made compilation. I do not claim any rights to the material. This video falls under Fair Use copyright law.
If you watch it backwards it's the most amazing story of overcoming adversity that you've ever seen
And plastic surgery
By doing less and less drugs lol
this video is completely out of sequence, it doesn't matter which way you watch it.. at the beginning he has severe fire burns, in the middle he looks fine but he has ring worms, and the end he has fire burns ... nice editing.
It's an intro dude, formatted like the show. Everything after the intro is sequential.
It was just a funny intro before going into sequential order.
I love that when he “cleans up” he sounds normal until he is found out and all of the sudden he is back to sounding like a gremlin
It's like a light switched on. Or off, depending on how you look at it.
I love how they're gradually ruining his life but they don't even hate him - it just happens by association 😂
I wouldnt even say they like him, they just like to USE him
Ever notice how they all ruin the lives of everyone around them?
He reminds me of Kenny from south park, always getting hurt
@Nikki Jordan been there. Not physically
@High Definition I guess it's like his life is in ruins and at that point he has to rely on small things just to get by. A little money here and there, a bathroom, ect. They ruined his life so bad that he now has to rely on them for some things
Cricket really is the Dorian Gray Painting of the Gang. He's a reflection of how horrible they become as a group of people.
Sort of. The group's pretty much been this horrible since the beginning though. They've not changed at all, we just slowly uncover more things that let's us get a clearer idea of how fucking awful they are.
Flithy Nobeard More like the longer they are together as adults the more their horribleness gestated
Woahhh thats deep
It’s shown that Dennis is the problem he is the thing that makes the gang as bad as they are, without him Paddies became popular, Charlie began getting over The Waitress and the gang helped Philadelphia win the super bowl
400th like.
Probably the best secondary character in comedy history. Love how he calls he gang his friends by the end of it.
Cricket takes a VERY close 2nd place in my book. Rafi from The League takes 1st place.
GATTACA!!!!
F Con and Rafi is Everything!
They let him smoke PCP in the bathroom sounds like good friends to me
By A Cricket’s Tale he’s fully accepted who he is
DOOM
You do you, Cricket!
It's mad when you think that he's actually had the most character development out of everyone in the show
You're forgetting how Mac developed into a fat guy and then into a buff guy. Now THAT was character development.
@@HOTD108_ Yeah, but Mac's personality never changed, except when he came out as gay. He's always been a dick. But Cricket's appearance and personality have both changed dramatically over the series
No no, he wasn’t fat, he was cultivating mass, any jabroni could’ve seen that
@@ParallelParadigms That's what I tell my crush every time she tells me to hit the gym
@@HOTD108_ they ruined the show when mac became a total queer
By season 15 Cricket is just going to be a torso.
At this point he needs to be a cyborg.
He'll be Rum Ham >.>
He's gonna be that thing in the wheelchair from spongebob when they sell chocolate house to house
Bonifacio Salinas CHOCOLATE! I remember when they invented the stuff. Lol
He'll be just a head on a skateboard
2:45 is low key the most insane part of this whole video. They literally mouth feed him drugs against his wishes to kick off his addiction. That’s the real birth of cricket and so messed up
“i’m so tired.” made me put my head in my hands
Then they all start laughing and doing it in front of him. Quite fucked up
Charlie using Dee’s finger to administer the drugs somehow made it twice as funny.
Yeah it’s also a fictional comedy tv show. Who gives a fuck how “messed up” it is lol
@@sealife12 It's messed up. That's why it's funny. It can be both, and sometimes comedies can be messed up, don't act like neither of these are true
Holy fuck i forgot how Cricket used to look like
ScrubTheNub, I searched for this video just to remember what Cricket looked like.
ScrubTheNub what *... Or don't use the like
did charlie write this
@@jamesmayle4712 Said brilliantly my man. Jesus is Lord. Divine revelation as you put it is truly the most amazing thing one can experience. Turns out its all true
@@jamesmayle4712 nah
I actually died when he said " I ain't goin to no hospital! They euthanize the homeless, they're goddamn deathcanps!"
Than that means a gh-gh-gh-GHOST! typed this message
What's the name of that episode?
@Ben Erickson okay i was asking because I saw clips of the episode before
@@iamjuniorbarnes2609 storm of the century
@@taliag09 thanks
"So you're living on the streets now cricket, that's great! That's great."
Charlie is the best
Nathan Lucci best part is Charlie taking Crickets change saying “well I gotta take a cut.”
charlie's jealous
It’s actually the opposite of great.. it’s one of the darkest times of my life
Charlie probably thinks it really is great to live in the street lol
hips and nips
I’d like to think Cricket is a Physical representation of how the gang has descended into madness
He's more a representation of how the gang are horrible people who ruins the life of everyone around them
I like that idea. They are dying on the inside while he is dying slowly physically. They get shit on emotionally on a regular basis but deservedly. Cricket had a moral compass and lost it to the streets. There seems to be something to that. Perhaps they are saying in life you have to be ruthless and unwavering. I hope they give us a good ending after all these years. Or maybe they'll do it til they're old. Regardless, best comedy series out there for a while in my book.
Not sure which series arc is more hilarious: the gradual devolution of Cricket, or Dennis subtly being revealed as a sociopath. Both great. Such a brilliant show!
Mark Pliska only a sociopath would say Dennis' character is a "slow reveal."
@Stephen Murphy
... because of the implications
The show is pretty heavy-handed about Dennis’s sociopathy
Easy, Frank's hair.
What about Mac ending up being gay too! This show is the best show ever!
"It is one of the darkest times of my life..."
"Is it? Is it?"
Charlie knew. Charlie knew what was coming...
He went from a naive, innocent young man, into a drug addicted Charlie Manson zombie lookalike.
oink oink
He looks like Steve Buscemis homeless character in Big Daddy
so thats what happened to luke before episode 7
Juan Aceves He does! 😂
You gotta fake it. The guys that don't fake it get it the worst.
Charlie forcing coke on cricket with Dee's finger is hilariously dark lol they really fucked this man's life up lol
With that evil laugh of Charlie's no less
“They broke my legs but they can’t break my spirit, I don’t feel no pain bcuz I’m on COCAINE! 🎵 😙 “
It's so sad that the gang single handedly turned a good man into a monster.
This Is My Smart Sword its just a show so it's not sad its hilarious!
This Is My Smart Sword it would be sad if it was real but since it's a show "HA HA HA CLASSIC. COMEDY." -Bo Burnham lol

@@JP-kr8kq pondy
That's the gang in a nutshell
"it's time to unburden yourself my son"
"is that a gloryhole"
"Yes, but it'll cost you an additional sixer if you want to "unburden yourself" in that way... that said, I am... _open_ to it."
😳
I love how his voice degrades over time.
The neck wound he got from Frank's trash can got infected.
superghost6 “Ahh shit did I get ya Cricket? There must’ve been an edge on this thing.”
Honestly I don't really notice it except the podcast
@@superghost6 and sucking lemons doesnt help lol
Only his voice?
I remember when the 1st ep with Cricket was released, I thought “damn they’re even gonna bone a priest, these guys have no limits”. Little did I know, they would bone and bone and bone and continue boning
😫😫😫💦
Actually ripping on Catholics is low on the list of what you can’t make fun of any other religion is having no limits likeSouth Park, that’s why there episode are banned.
@@chrisdalessio3725 true and even south park could only rip on Judaism via cartman who's supposed to be the most ignorant, crass, hateful bigot so it's totally acceptable
Someone in fb compared the degradation of Cricket to The Picture of Dorian Gray. The gang is alive and well, while Cricket is gradually degrading.
hahaha, that's perfect
...so what will happen when Cricket inevitably dies?
that dog will finally bang his neckwound lol
id say its more a opposite. the gang never takes real punishment for their ideas. cricket does. id liken the gang to dorian gray. id liken cricket to his painting. after all he the one that suffers their folly not them.
Caleb lol that is exactly what the guy said what are you talking about. You repeated his exact point in different words.
Cricket is the best side character in a show I've ever seen I love that Rob,Charlie,and Glen have kept him around and even gave him his own episode giving him more depth
He was a producer
he has his dignity guys, unless u have a sixer
Or crack
Elmago Silva is a sixer beer?
C.K. Nelson
Sure... Beer... 🍺
Or lemons
What is a sixer?
I love how they always spotlight the wounds he received from his last encounter with the gang. The burnt face from the fire was hilarious and they don't even realize that they have anything to do with his situation so he wasn't even invited to the settling beefs dinner.
Frank after splitting crickets neck with the garbage can... "Awe shit, did I get you cricket?" Hahahahahahhahha
Whitney Ford Frank the trash man clips old cricket with the edge of the tetanus filled trash can... I'm fuckin' dying here 😂
I AAAM THE TRAAAAYSH MAAAN.
musta had an edge...
Whitney Ford I'm the garbage man, and the I start eatin garbage
@@BudleyBailey 010
They always trick him by telling him they’ll pay him money but just end up giving him a bag of lemons.😂😂😂😂😂 this show is brilliant.
"This is actually one of the darkest times of my life" very few times this is really funny lol
TheYoungMuTe ...is it?... Is it? Well you must know a lot of drug dealers!
The funny part is i saw episodes of the show with cricket as he was before i saw the show from the beginning, so when i saw this i laughed cause i knew...those times were going to get much much darker.
The best is when you discover he has written 28 episodes of the show
This is gold. The scene where he's lighting the makeshift tin foil pipe got me.
Mr.Jack Daniels Like he's playing one of them tin flutes the Irish play
De N
"If got crack, let's boogie"
Hey, if you haven't hit a foil pipe at an inappropriate time, you haven't lived life to the fullest-
With the angelic vocals. Absolute classic
@@jamesmayle4712
SATAN.
COME TO US.
WE ARE READY.
Cricket sums up the spirit of the show well for me. Funny, tragic, and painful to watch all at the same time.
they broke my legs, but they didn't break my spirit! but I don't feel no pain cause I'm high on cocaine! cocaine!
My favorite episode.
rise up! gonna get higher and higher
When you think about what it must take to be in such stark contrast from the clean cut young priest at the beginning of the series to the disgusting cretinous gollum he progressively transitions into in subsequent seasons, it's really excellent comic acting. There should be an award for this character alone.
Would you say it is a "Dee" evolution of Cricket?
badllama123 you stupid bitch
Rock bottom lol
Kachow!
Randomguy2324 get lost bozo!
Don’t get it..
The actor who plays him is a really talented guy. He not only acts but he's also a writer and director of the show (and other things too)..
they turn rickety cricket into a homeless drug addicted lunatic lol
Brian Keith Jones they turned maureen ponderosa into a cat lol
A dead cat
Brian Keith Jones That's not entirely true, he did get a job cleaning up dog shit.
yep, that's the joke.
all preachers should be turned into drug crazed homeless lunatics
To think, Rickety Cricket's free fall into homelessness and drug addiction was all triggered by being friend zoned by Dee.
That's what the blue pill does to you
"....actually it's the opposite of great, Charlie........its one of the darkest times of my life"
is it?
Is it really?
Little did he know...
Liam McPoyle's look of pure glee at 6:19 after he hits Cricket with the axe gets me every time.
Yess & I remember I laughed so loud when I first saw that eye painted on to his eye patch 😂
"just keeps popping up"
Starlyn Morel that's possibly my most favorite moment of the entire run of the show.
yeah, it's definitely up there. in terms of delivery, and how well the line is written, it's hard to beat. .
fuckin prairie chains
“NO ONE is going into your asshole.”
“I wouldn’t let them without the crack.”
The entire point of life:
Jesus did not come to be served, but to serve. Mathew 20: 28. We are no different. This entire life is a representation of the spiritual warfare going on. Good vs evil. God isn't a flying man in the sky, but the actual representation of Love, Hope, Joy, Peace, Light, etc. Not metaphor, but literally, like an extra demintional wavelength of thought, emotions, and intent. The devil is the opposite wavelength, pain, fear, hate, anger, darkness, etc. Human life is serving one of these two. Not a man in the sky, actual sentient collective universal Love. However, humans are primatives, we make mistakes. It's in our nature, since the fall, to go down the wrong path. This means at some time each one of us has served darkness to some degree. God understands our limited understanding of our own actions, so he gave us forgiveness, though sacrificing himself in human form as Jesus Christ. It is our duty to accept that sacrifice, get the forgiveness, and be better, helping others be better, and spreading this wavelength of Love, Hope, Joy, Peace, Light, etc, thoughout the universe. But God had to make a way for us to get to this place spiritually, this is why evidence is not allowed. Evidence will make you believe, using the fear of absolute punishment to change your behavior, but that won't make you better, just scared. Faith makes you better. It is what redeemes us, not our works. Faith is the hope that things get better, that justice always prevails, that we're at least loved by our creator. But it has to be Faith in Jesus, because of his sacrifice. And there can't be evidence to point us to him, because Love had to be fair. If there were a code in our DNA, what about everyone born before genetic sequencing? If there were a book with the solar system thosands of years ago, what would stop an evil person from hiding/destroying it? If it were something you had to go to, what about the geographically isolated, imprisoned, or enslaved. If it were a train of logic, what about the uneducated, or mentally slow? Not to mention all the people born before schools. Love cannot give to one without giving to the other. So the key to salvation had to be something everyone has access to. The only thing is Faith. This is why God puts it upon your heart to learn about these things, even if it's only to criticize, or hate. God is everywhere, because Love is everywhere, and so is the devil, because hate is everywhere. They're in your head all the time, regardless of weather or not you accept that. They whisper inside your heart, giving you ideas. But more than that, they're inside everyone's heart. This is how they get things done. They corrordanate us like pieces on a chess board. The only difference is, we get to chose who's side we're playing for. At the end of our life, we go to that team's home base, Heaven, or Hell. A place where all that exists is those wavelengths. Hate, pain, anger, fear, darkness; or Love, Hope, Joy, Peace, Pleasure, Light. The choice is yours to make. But you cannot go to Heaven with hate in your heart. You must forgive, repent, and spread joy for those around you. These are sentient eternal controlling forces in our universe. Heaven and Hell are very real places, I've seen them. Those steps prime your soul for a meeting with God. Very literally. Once you've done all four, in that order, you get divine revelation, with all the evidence you'll ever need. They are, forgive your parents, brake down before Jesus, ask for forgiveness, and read the Bible. Step four takes three books to get the revelation. I recommend Genesis, Mathew, and then either Luke, Psalms, or proverbs. The order of the steps is important, step 1 has to come before step 3. I can state that for an absolute certainty that these steps always work. Please, take your salvation seriously. See for yourself. Do those steps. Jesus Christ is Lord. It's all True
I've watched this video at least 20 times and I'll keep watching it everytime RUclips recommends it to me
i just want cricket to be happy tbh
theCuttlekid
Hes totally fine with himself at this point, and was obviously not really happy as a priest.
same dude
give him some crack and DON'T take him from behind, he'll be happy
he is
If that girl wasn’t actually a golden retriever, he would’ve been 🤣
This has to be the tightest-written and best-acted comedy show ever made.
"So you're living on the streets? that's great" "actually it's one of the darkest times in my life" ohhh cricket if only you knew
As a young man with a theology degree...this better not be a glimpse into the future
mean life is what you make of it?
Just don’t fall in love with Dee.
Selbst schuld LOL
Just learn to fake it, those who don’t fake it on the streets get it the worst.
@@shmabadu ...unless of course you don't fake it, and it just ends...naturally...
Rickety Cricket's Series of Unfortunate Events
To this day, this is still one of the best chronicles ever made.
One of the greatest character arcs in film history.
This is a film?
Damn, Fanboy went through some hard times as an adult.
That's because Chum Chum moved out.
you guys do know cricket (david Hornsby) is a producer on the show and directs some of the episodes.
Relentless Ohio Holy shit! I never knew that!
I think he was originally gonna play Mac too
Relentless Ohio
No, Mac is played by Rob McElhenney, who is also the writer and co-creator of the show.lol But Charlie is married to The Waitress in real life. So are Mac and Dee.
And he's married to Emily Deschanel....lucky bastard....
Mac, Dee and Charlie are married to The Waitress? Weird
Cricket has shown the most physical devolution while Dennis has shown the most mental devolution
"Woa guys, no one's taking me from behind....unless you have crack, if you have crack let's boogie " best part
“I’m not gonna sit here and try to get in the mind of a dog; that’s God’s work.”
"Well, not that I believe in God, I don't. Not since that chinaman stole my kidney."
HAHA!! 'bout time somebody made this!
My feelings exactly
Had been planning to do it for so long, you beet me to it ha. Nice Job!
Arguably the most hilarious character arc ever created. The depths that cricket fell to are hard to put into words haha.
The vast majority of people don't even know what good acting is. Great show, Cricket!
Cricket: "This is one of the darkest times in my life"
Homer Simpson: "Your darkest time SO FAR!"
This is surprisingly sad for a comedic show.
This is either sarcasm or you don't really know this show.
A bit of both.
Don't feel too bad for the character of Cricket. The guy that plays him is a producer and writer on the show lol
lol i was kinda feeling the same thing but i haven't watched Always Sunny in about a year and a half so I'm still getting used to the dark humor again lol
And realistic. It's a wise cautionary tale, really.
I love how he gradually gets closer to the open slit in the stall and tries to make eye contact while announcing he's open to the glory hole idea
All his injuries happen on his left side.
Huh.
I guess he's all right now.
Goddammit David. *tips cap*
David Lynch sounds like an arrested development gag :D
+Black Wolf......holy shit.
Black Wolf wtf
Every character on this show is so perfectly crafted.
The blooper reel with the conversation at the end of this clip with Charlie and Mac shows just how good of an actor and comedian he is. They couldn't keep a straight face through his ad-libbing. Would love to see more of this actor. Wonder where he is now?
"YOU OWE ME AN EYE FRANK!!!"
*throws axe*
Cricket - aaaaahhh!!! D:
McPoyle - XD
I used to feel sorry for Cricket until i found out he was a show producer and married to the girl from Bones.
AkShUaLLy- Cricket is married to Dr. Bones, who is a woman, not just "that girl from bones" 🤨 lol

The first time I saw Cricket was from a VERY recent episode, so when I watched the show for the first time I was absolutely shocked to see original Cricket
Such a hilarious character.
I wonder if he wrote his own lines because he's asctually a writer on the show.
I love that Cricket eventually takes the lemons to fight against Scurvy.
*slurp* Aaaauuuuuegghhhh...
Cricket was cute before he got all cracked out.
he was craaazy ugly
@@wilmer89 nah, he was a fairly good looking dude.
I thought he was cuter after the crack
@@TheHawkman2132 The beard definitely helped.
@@dannyclub09 did you not understand he was quoting Dee from the liberty bell episode? “Eww you’re crazzzzy ugly” when cricket tries to kiss her 🤣😭
I love how cricket knows that Dee has done so many things to confess about over the past 10 years yet all she chooses to confess is her "love" for cricket
Cricket looks like Dwight from the Walking Dead now hahahahaha
Mantis Tobagin MD Dwight from the office
Haha D’s life just keeps getting worse on that show like cricket
“I will stalk the streets and live in the shadows of the night until the streets of Philadelphia run red with their blood.” My favorite cricket line
this is so awesome!!
he's not devolving... He's EVOLVING into the ultimate life form
At first I thought that's not how it started. Brilliant edit!
“They broke my legs, but they didn’t break my spirit, I feel no pain because I found more cocaine COCAINE” -Cricket
Final episode should be cricket killing all of them lol
He’s my favorite side character from any show. When he was all clean and religious, I didn’t care about him. Didn’t even think much of him. He was just there. Now by the end of the show I LOVE cricks. Even though he turned into a complete monster man, there’s something wholesome about his character.
At least in a way cricket can say he's the unofficial sixth member of the gang which is something he's got going for him in a sick twisted way
Sad isn’t it? In a funny way.
Smoking pcp in the hospital wondering if he’s gonna be a father is one of my favorite cricket moments
I loved how they forgot he was in the apartment when they burned it. The lack of shits given over this guy...
The best kind of comedy, both horrifyingly depressing and sad yet undeniably hilarious!
Can't wait for this season, this show has always been a fav.
"Well you gotta fake it. The ones who don't fake it are the ones who get it the worst.."
-Rickety Cricket, ex-man of the cloth lol
I felt like the last few years were rough for me. Then I watched this.
I can hardly breath watching these always sunny compilations😂😂😂😂😂it's so good😂😂😂😂😂
This show really tested this guys acting over the years and I love it
Jesus I forgot how normal and clean he once looked lol
I like how his life gets measurably worse every time he’s in contact with the gang
“If you have crack let’s boogie”. David Hornsby is a comedic genius with his portrayal of Cricket. Best secondary character of any sitcom in any time period. Hilarious
Amazing. Also, shout on on the continuity of his deteriorating priest jacket.
thank you for making this video, i was thinking about this concept yesterday and i needed to see it actualized
holy crap. Seeing him gradually degrade over time is one thing, but to see that it is clearly the gang's fault and how they single-handedly upended his life is another.
the character development in this show is amazing
Frank, cricket, bill ponderosa, so many more
love them sm
"Gotta make it sexy... Hips and Nips other wise I'm not eatin" LOL the best
I love how mcpoyle loves it when he hits cricket with the hatchet
Dennis is trying so hard not to laugh at 4:34
He cracked so many times in the bloopers of that scene
I watched the blooper reels for the show and this scene cracked him and dee up multiple times
I didn't read the previous year old comment until after I wrote mine. Oops

thanks for this! I was watching Season 3 on Hulu when Rickey is homeless but still has it together. Then the gang comes around again...
Cricket is going to lock them in the bar and burn it on the last episode calling it now
When he eventually tells his father "They're my friends!" it kinda broke my heart tbh
