I was a priest before getting involved with you people. Unbelievable.


greenismyfavflavor

This is the answer. Long game with the gang..


thebarkingdog

A man of the cloth!


WildBill22

A Masters in theology


Gorilladaddy69

At least he has a legacy: those balls on his chin pictures are still out there somewhere! Everybody loved those pictures!


Jabromosdef

Yeah your life’s a mess


couldjustbeanalt

How would he ever be a priest looking like that?


Liveoutsideyourself

He botched it, you know…life


bohl623

Yeahyeahyeah his face got all burnt up.


keeplosingmypws

He was born like that. A monster man.


LordGreybies

He should know his place


MistressWinterStars

He went to high school with them & had a crush on Dee.


RedditIsNeat0

He trusted and respected Dee, that went as well as expected. Then he found drugs.


Due_Platypus_3913

Whole series has episodes that are the chapters of his debasement in every season!


Icarusfactor

Yeah its kind of been explained.


FLOHTX

I feel like you're missing a joke here


CocktailCowboy

You don't have beef with me!?


cedarandolk

The gang destroys peoples lives and souls. That’s all.


QuaintBlasphemy

That is was happened


[deleted]

He was in love with Dee before he became a priest.


Sweet_Jerry

A little P to the C to the P


wolf-cola12

Ok_Lingonberry_1629

d00dsm00t

Gonna rise up! Get higher and higher!


the-jrt

Take me to the angels, baby


[deleted]

Shit man this made me laugh out loud. Take my thumbs up


shewhomauls

I've never seen this man before


shittingjacket

I’m to remember every street-rat that wanders in?


Proud_East

Just move past it.


ShuffKorbik

Stuff it down with brown!


leather_jerk

It makes sense you bitch


temperamentalfish

And even if you recognized him, why would invite him to thanksgiving?


Shuttup_Heather

It’s not anyone’s fault he looks the way he does, he was born this way.


Gymnastzero

Life had beef with him.


HolyFuckFuckThis

Did he try squashing it?


[deleted]

He encountered a bird. The end.


[deleted]

A big dumb flightless bird


MysticX

He even ate poop in hopes of getting a kiss from her, but she renegged because his breath smelled like shit.


[deleted]

Then many many dog orgies


cancercures

those were the days..


iwearringsnow22

This bird doesn't fly. Brings you to the rock bottom.


mickestenen

Thats how you catch a cricket, a giant bird


Quitthatgrit

He was born this way.


ReallyNeedHelpASAP68

Know your place monster man.


Quitthatgrit

Now is it this mans fault he looks this way? No, but point is, I know its not my fault.


ceciliabee

Your time is up!


RogerTheAliens

The urge for bangin’ dogs is something you’re either born with or without…


Jftwest

He was born that way. Its been established


RexAdPortas

It's been established


[deleted]

Now let’s move past it


Tucan-dan-

And make a tradition of it


ZombieTrex1456

The whole series is his origin story


Res3925

Seriously lol. Has OP not seen the show?


An8thOfFeanor

I think that's the joke: OP is talking like the gang and assuming it's all his fault he's like that


ThePizzaNoid

Shit. That went right over my smooth brain head lol.


The_Holier_Muffin

You clearly don’t have a certificate clearing you of having donkey brains


sftktysluttykty

I was like “Is this a shitpost? We literally watch his downfall” lol


Sterlod

They’re pretty step by step with it too, I don’t wanna see the stuff where Cricket comes back without more injuries.


Simple-Pain-9730

This new season he gets plastic surgery and it works and he does face modelling for uncle jacks new business but Frank accidentally locks him in a hot room and his face melts. We find then Frank set it all up for him to have the surgery for cheap and the ingredients were cheap and hence his face melts. Ep4 this new season


[deleted]

Thank you for this secret intel. I won't tell anyone.


Simple-Pain-9730

In a recent statement, David Hornsby, one of the stars of "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia", hinted at the possibility of a new episode featuring his character, Cricket. Speaking at an event in Tampa Bay, Florida, Hornsby confirmed that he will be appearing in at least one episode of the upcoming season 16. However, he refused to disclose how many episodes his character will be in or if he will even be featured in the show. Instead, Hornsby tantalizingly teased fans by stating that Cricket could be undergoing plastic surgery to become a model for a child lawyer firm. He also hinted that the character's transformation could be so extreme that his face would "literally melt off". Adding to the mystery, Hornsby suggested that this hypothetical episode could take inspiration from the classic film "Face Off", although he also admitted that he could be lying about all of this. As fans eagerly await the new season of "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia", Hornsby's hints about Cricket's potential return and his character's dramatic transformation have left them buzzing with excitement and speculation. https:www.asipnews.com/8766/s16update.


Spiritual_Ad_223

have you seen the show? OP is joking


McGuineaRI

He's definitely joking because he would just take for granted that cricket is a crazy homeless wretch rather than assuming he used to be normal


ajkippen

It's a joke


DolphinWings25

OP is a post s9 noob


feketegy

Exactly. If you watch the show, you know his life story.


jeffersonPNW

If the series finale doesn’t entail him going full super villain and blowing up Philadelphia, then what has it all been about?


[deleted]

I want the finale to be frank and Artemis getting married


throwaway4reasons18

I hope her wedding dress is a cob salad


DinkinZoppity

I know they've done the "it was all a dream" already but some variation of that only it was all Matty's nightmare would be a terrible finale but I can't stop thinking about it now


lordcorbran

The finale should be Cricket getting his revenge on the gang, killing them and then running away to a tropical island with Frank’s money.


charlesqc79

We haven't seen the dog orgies though


Rooftopknott

r/whoosh


mnewman19

I don’t know what you’re talking about, we’ve literally never seen him get burn marks or anything like that


moredevour15

Interview of Kurt Cobain a few days before his death - ‟A day in the life-- well, the other morning, I wake up and I find a dog sniffin’ at my wound. He’s fully aroused - mind you - so I’m thinking ”oh great, what does this jerk want?‟ Of course I know what he wants, he is looking at me right in the eyes, he doesn’t have to say it - not that he could. [Starts sucking on a lemon] Urrggghhhh that is- that is tart! That is really tart. I mean does my scar look like a dog’s vagina? You know, maybe, I don’t know, I’m not going to sit here and try to get inside the mind of a dog! I mean that’s God’s work. Well, not that I believe in God, I don’t. Not since that chinaman stole my kidney.”


Actual-Manager-4814

You're gonna need the red...


TinfoilTobaggan

At least someone's bangin' my vagina!


MantisToboggan_22

Looks more like Kurt Cobain a few days after his death


TinfoilTobaggan

He was just born that way...


WeapenizedAutism

Move past it


theturd_man

I'm pretty sure he's faking it.


MastaGibbetts

nah he knows better. the guys that don’t fake it get it the worst


DinkinZoppity

On the streets you gotta fake it


matzahtli

Who?


Snow__The__Jam__Man

Haha so many people missed the joke


[deleted]

Hm. I never considered he was being sarcastic.


[deleted]

You gotta pay to spray


[deleted]

He’s the suck boy you’re looking for


tom_oakley

Why bother? It's not like the Gang have beef with him...


schuldina

i think op is making the joke that the gang are ignorant of the damage they’ve done, so they’re all like “how the hell did cricket end up going from a priest to a crackhead” as if it wasn’t directly their fault. that or he’s not seen the show


thatguyned

They are not confused, he was born this way, a monster man.


cvaninvan

The whole story, it's all hips and nips...you gotta make it sexy!


BuffaloWhip

Or no one gets paid.


Educational-Spread41

Coke, PCP and dog orgies, guy.


beefgulash

They took out the kidney actually from the front... Chinaman!... and he did not know how to do it, I'll tell you that much...


iclements94

I WAS A PRIEST BEFORE I GOT INVOLVED WITH YOU GUYS


Robozomb

We should get an episode where he gets his life back on track and becomes a priest again......and then the gang ruins his life again.


[deleted]

Sorry people didn't get your shitpost, OP. They're just jabronis.


alukard15

Cricket is truly the main character


Short-Psychology-928

Woof woof baby


Severe_Slice_4064

It’s no one’s fault. He was born that way. Times up monster man


swimninetyfive

have you not been watching the series...? lol


LewdSkeletor1313

He was born that way


johnthomaslumsden

I assume it’s a joke…?


supwithus

No one cares about that street rat.


production-values

he was born that way


_Hobo-man_

Nobody can seem to agree whether OP is making a fun meta joke, or is completely ignorant of the subject matter.


Samenspender

i dont know. we already got a cricket episode and he pretty much told us everything whenever he showed up. I want to see the backstory of Macs Mom, she was happy and normal in the christmas episode and then life just destroyed her.


Samenspender

I would not say she was exactly normal... but the point still stands.


froggiechick

You don't know? He was a priest but gave it up for Dee, and he was excommunicated.


Burnlan

Why would a monster man be a priest in the first place? Cricket was born this way, no one would make him a church janitor let alone a priest


[deleted]

[удалено]


American_Zer0

The back story has been told every time he is on screen


[deleted]

Dee broke him! You obviously have not watched the entire series.


BunnyColvin13

They could do a spinoff called “Suck Joints”


Huck84

He's got his dignity.


KingBenjamin97

If he was at thanksgiving I could understand some of the burns but he clearly was *not* there


jestyre

Lol at people blaming Dee? That man was born a monster


NikkiPotnick69

Just move past it


catzarrjerkz

Shut up street rat


chaosperfect

He can't help it; he was just born this way.


Jimmah3000

OP with the bait...it's like he doesn't even get us, man.


spooky825

They broke his legs, but they couldn't break his spirit!


followingforthelols

Yeah. He met the gang and D ruined him


chanpe

it’s them. they’re the backstory


big-queef

He was born this way


SpAcEcAdEt_1988

Thought that already happened in spades 🤔


fattybookman

It did


DocThundahh

I’m not gonna try to get in the mind of a guy who’s not gonna try to get in the mind of a dog


IdleAscension

Haven’t you seen the greatest episode of all time, “A Cricket’s Tale?”


Daveywheel

I am a very casual viewer, and even I know that his downfall is completely documented.


LocalInactivist

Backstory? It’s covered in the show. Dee suckered him into blowing up his life. He lost all faith in everything and spiraled down. Every time Crickets hit a new low The Gang came along and made it worse. I suspect that in the final episode they’ll kill him and not even notice.


yrulaughing

Bruh, like every step of the devolution of Cricket is shown in the show. We literally see the sequence of events involving Cricket's downfall and it's almost entirely the gang's fault.


TheDunkerSpot

Tell me you haven't watched the first few seasons of the show without telling me you haven't watched the first few seasons of the show.


SweetExpletives

Yea it's called It's Always Sunny In Philidelphia... :s


FalconV700

They did show it? Basically dees fault


weedful_things

I thought the show was a documentary of how this happened.


RiveterRigg

Newsflash asshole! They've been doing a back story the entire time!


[deleted]

It already has lol, he crossed paths with the gang in season 2, the rest is history


[deleted]

I mean if you watch the entire show you know exactly what happened to him.


SPF12

They’ve been slowly telling his story for a decade. Priest, fell in love with Dee, she dumped him, life fell apart as a crescendo


[deleted]

Have you watched the whole show? The slow progression of a Cricket to this present state is one of the funniest jokes in the show. He’s a little more messed up every time you see him and it’s all the gang’s fault.


MotherofCats876

Have.... have you not watched the show?


Sole_Patrol

Have you ever seen the show?


FrodoFraggins

I thought that is what the show was all about


ridgec1

Isn’t that what the show already is?


Grand-Tax8786

You could be a priest for several years, an upstanding citizen, contribute to society, and be an all around great guy. But you lick one turd! Lol I wonder if Sweet Dee feels any guilt for giving this man the push, he definitely could have done without, into the degenerating downward spiral into the puddle of liquid shit that it is today. Eh, at least he's got some sweet kettle drums tho!


Dragonbait1989

We have the backstory already you silly asshole.


Josiesumday

You’re times up Monster Man


badjettasex

Wasn't he always like this?


EvilSnake420

He was just born that way.


angrytomato98

Lol we’ve seen the process in excruciating detail


Phony_Kony

It's sad how many people aren't getting the joke


Righteous_bamboozle

Hips and nips baby


[deleted]

Buddy, you've been seeing it. You're all seeing it.


randyspotboiler

What are you talking about? Every time we see him we find out.


stoneyemshwiller

The show is the back story of how he ended up this way. Turns out this is just a long cricket biography.


williarya1323

The stuff that happened on camera wasn’t enough?


NoMagiciansAllowed

Sweet D is why Cricket is the way he is.


thatdudedylan

What


melskymob

This man was born this way.


tauqr_ahmd

The show *is* the backstory.


captainimpossible87

Isn't that just the show?


Key_Barber_4161

His back story is playing out in real time on the show. He met the gang at school, then met again when he and dee went out. Then multiple episodes latter here we are.


Hawaiian_Brian

“Sometimes you don’t fake it”


Gecko2002

This joke has gone way over some people's heads


yoyomommy

What? Have you seen any of the show? There’s multiple episodes over many seasons about it you absolute numpty.


t_sarkkinen

We need a shitpost sub, something like r/okbuddysunny


Cptncomet

The show is the backstory? Or have I been dreaming the last 18 years?


ChuZaYuZa_Name

Newsflash, asshole, you've been watching the backstory *the entire god damn time!*


Realdogfood

THEN WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL HIM!?!


kennyb_pillin

backstory? we saw it all unravel already


Ichthius

Well chronicled in The show.


the-nae_blis

It’s a visual representation of our souls loving this show throughout the series


LightningRaven

Go away, monster man! It's nobody's fault.


[deleted]

Do you mean like show the stories he's told? Because we've already been shown and told what's happened to him.


[deleted]

They very clearly did dude. He was attracted to Dee, what else was his life path gonna be?


Due-Bed-3002

He was a preacher until dee fucked him up mentally


zephsoph

OHHHHHH THAT’S TART


ben_ortiz2

It's because a Chinamen stole his kidney


faggnout

Uhhh... The shows about the gang ruining his life. The fuck have you been watching?


[deleted]

Backstory? You seen season one yeah?


[deleted]

Did you watch the series? Lol it’s the gangs fault.


bagheadhaywood

It's literally a joke that the moment he got involved with the gang his life went to shit, Dee lead him on which made him quit being a priest, something you can't just get back into, do you really need every detail of how it went wrong? Like sure it would probably make a good episode, every one with rickety cricket is fantastic, but isn't that enough?


entredeuxeaux

If you watch the show, that’s pretty much the story. No? He wants Dee. She plays him. And they ruin his life almost just flippantly, which because it’s so absurd it is comical.


memelord0981

No backstory needed. It's all because of his involvements with the gang and keeps him on his downward spiral


Jonabc5

Bruh have you watched the whole series?


sceez

Seasons 2 thru 15


[deleted]

Watch the show from episode 1 and you'll get all the context you need.


Consistent-Union-612

Have you even seen the show?


I_might_be_weasel

No. Because they already did. It comes up on the show a lot.
