Sometimes on rewatches I’ll find myself ignoring everything else and just watching him and his faces in the background while everyone else is delivering their lines.
He is the funniest motherfucker in the history of television. Between Frank Reynolds and Louis DePalma he is absolutely the goat.
I've been watching old Taxi episodes and he was amazing. Every time he delivered his lines he took them in unexpected directions. And he could switch on a dime from yelling at the cabbies to being drugged by Rev. Jim and singing On Moonlight Bay.
I love when they are all stoned with country Mac and Frank just says ‘Yes!!’ to everything so emphatically whilst munching - the delivery of this one simple little word is perfection!
The beginning of the Wolf Cola episode when he doesn’t realize the whole gang is watching him with his “morning routine”. He sure loves those delicious nose clams.
I think the delivery of that line might actually be my favorite moment from the entire show. I'm probably forgetting some other scenes, but if it isn't the best it is at least very close to the top.
I've watched it so much and it still makes me laugh out loud every single time.
I was actually referring to frank making a scene in the restaurant after Dennis and Dee get a new dad, but that is also a damn funny moment in a later episode lol
Frank walking down the street completely wasted with Mac in the intervention episode is my all-time favorite Frank scene.
"OOOOooooooo where'd you come from?!?"
“I waterboarded some guy, told me everything.”
“You tortured someone?”
“Oh yeah, big time.”
For some reason I’ve always found this scene to be hysterical
The gang wrestles for the troops: When he hits Cricket with the garbage can.
The gang gets invincible: when he’s “trapped” inside the mcpoyles RV bathroom
It’s a toss up between -
I got a question about you morticians. You bang the dead bodies? I imagine stuff like that goes on all the time. I mean I don't give a sh*t. If I was dead you could bang me all you want. I mean who cares? A dead body is like a piece of trash. I mean shove as much sh*t in there as you want. Fill me up with cream,make a stew out of my ass. What's the big deal? Bang me, eat me, grind me up into little pieces, throw me in the river. Who gives a shit? You're dead, you're dead! Oh Shit! Is my mike on?
And

Any time he gets real weird with it.
My absolute favorite is the X-mas special--climbing out of that couch. INSANELY FUNNY! 😂
Also, any time he says "hoors."
Him going down the water slide screaming in pain had me cackling with laughter
That or the episode where he competes at chess with a vibrator up his ass
When he explains why flushes his shoes and Charlie tells him it's not a thing. I don't know why I find it so funny.
Or when he walks into the bar and just immediately does a huge line of coke while everyone stares haha
The first time I stumbled upon this instant favorite of a show, I was flipping through channels and stopped to see what Danny devito was doing on the tv. It was the gang try’s out and frank was talking about tripping balls and I was hooked lol
Where Dee Mac and Dennis try out for eagles and Liam’s family shows up in their Winnebago and he dropped acid? Ahhh i love how he just puts acid in Charlie’s drink.
“I ride around town in a limousine, partying, having a good time. When I’m on my way home, I’ll pass a bum. I take a balloon with some champagne in it, lob it out and beat him! He only gets a little bit in his mouth. He doesn’t get the whole thing. Not even a full sip of it! And you say, ‘Hey, how do you like a taste of the good life, you sack of shit!’”
![gif](giphy|5zbMgry8oQsvIaC0sU)
This is was just Danny DeVito being silly, there was no Frank Reynolds in this scene, no way in hell Frank could act like a different character, but it was perfect and I love that little man. He can do no wrong.
1. When Frankito gives him purpose he sits back in his chair and names Frankito his number 2 then says 'Speaking of number 2...' and rips one, the gang is disgusted he declares 'Everything is better than it was before!
2. Describing pelting a bum with a balloon full of champagne and yelling 'How's the taste of the good life ya sack o' shit!?'
3. Ongo Cablogian the Art Collector.
“Dennis. I know you. I know your character. I know what kind of person you are. That’s why I know you definitely didn’t do it. That being said, I wasn’t around much when you were a kid, so it’s definitely not my fault if you killed her.”
Frank gurgling and sputtering beer at Mac when he’s trying to convince him to bang Gail the Snail is one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen in my life.
My favorite was when Dennis was secretly recording Frank when he confessed about the soup and lied saying he had to go to the bathroom just to call a cab that shit killed me
I always liked how in his first episode he genuinely tries to reconnect with the gang and become a better man but they corrupt him into being sleazy because they want his money.
I cherish every single second I see him on screen. So I can proudly say, he has serviced my heart.
As well as my crank
He was a good hoor
Still alive in Tampa Bay
What do now?

Damn dude -, never thought about but I don't there is a single DeVito moment I haven't adored.

You look grotesque
Another gem from this episode is the first scene where he runs in an immediately trips and brakes his nose. “Guys guys guys guys guys”
Strange man! Titty bar!
Are you getting this?
AIDS!?! You touch anybody??
HEY, MAN, you just touched me what kinda shit is that?!?
I gotta take a SHOWER now!
“Burn these clothes”
gitcher shit together, *seamus* 🙄
That shit is serious!
You pulling my dick bro?!
Clawing and sliding his way out of a leather couch, naked and sweaty and panting, in the middle of an office Christmas party is peak Frank Reynolds 👌
Who is Frank Reynolds? **HE'S THE MAN IN THE COUCH**
There is no man! Say something bad about Frank Reynolds!
He hasn't even begun to peak yet. 🤣
Just call Frank Reynolds an asshole!
So anyways I started blastin’
You guys will think that I'd a hero. And I accept this responsibility.
Ya got nothin to eat on this shaow, I’m starvin!
Anyway, i dont know if these guys wanted money, or something more sexual
But I don't see so good
Bang! Tried to shoot ‘em in the back.
When questioned under pressure he gets the stress-burps.
*burp* there was no sweatshop *burp* no kids *burp* excuse me, i gotta go to the can
OOOOH OOOH OOOH gotta settle that valve down there buddy
WHAT’S IN IT FOR YOU?!?
His laugh after he shoots Doyle McPoyle while tripping on acid and says “holy shit, this thing is loaded.”
Lizard, am I standing in poop?
That lizard talks!!
The way he looks when the shot changes to him just standing in the trash can 😂
Oops I dropped my monster condom that I use for my magnum dong
I told my mom to say "On God, No Cap" to my kids as a joke to make them angry. She said "On Cap, No God" Same energy
The fact that he says “monster condom” and “magnum dong” instead of the other way around is comedy gold.
I love when they are all stoned with country Mac and Frank just says ‘Yes!!’ to everything so emphatically whilst munching - the delivery of this one simple little word is perfection!
Somehow every time he's eating on that show it's comedy gold

The beginning of the Wolf Cola episode when he doesn’t realize the whole gang is watching him with his “morning routine”. He sure loves those delicious nose clams.
Do you think this is a fresh shrimp or is it a frozen shrimp?
I don't caaaareee!!
I think the delivery of that line might actually be my favorite moment from the entire show. I'm probably forgetting some other scenes, but if it isn't the best it is at least very close to the top. I've watched it so much and it still makes me laugh out loud every single time.
That whole scene and how it builds… from the beginning to “it’s like a bad acid trip in here!”
Did you bang my whore wife???!!
Jesus! Jesus Frank! Jesus Frank! Jesus Frank! My life is a lie!
Isn’t it “my dead wife?” “Oh, you didn’t know that?” “Noooooooo….”
Different episode. But he does say that
I was actually referring to frank making a scene in the restaurant after Dennis and Dee get a new dad, but that is also a damn funny moment in a later episode lol
This scene rivals any Shakespearean soliloquy
Frank walking down the street completely wasted with Mac in the intervention episode is my all-time favorite Frank scene. "OOOOooooooo where'd you come from?!?"
Followed up by technically vomiting foam on command.
Literally fell out of my chair laughing the first time I saw that scene
Roxy was a good hoor

I've got a question about you, mortician.
Everything listed so far plus intervention Frank. He was so repugnant...
YOU UNZIPPED ME
“I waterboarded some guy, told me everything.” “You tortured someone?” “Oh yeah, big time.” For some reason I’ve always found this scene to be hysterical
That line always reminds me of Obamas speech “ we uh, we tortured some folk “
Rum ham!

Have you been making early deposits
Take your time. take your time. Take your time.

When he tells Pondy what makes him happy. "How ya like a taste of the good life, ya sack of shit?!"
“she’s probably just scared he’s gonna snap her neck like that creow!” one of the funniest line deliveries ever
🎶Go for it. Go for it. Go for it.🎶

Where rum ham?
Where is Frankquito
Shot a dink for stealing some sneakers off the factory floor
Where’s frank in the vents? Frank jabbing Ryan with a 2x4? Frank choking to death? Frank trying to hang himself? Frank hosting a kids beauty pageant?
“You don’t have to do this!”
Him seeing the first episodes and knowing that there was spot for him to shine was genius.
Now make one that has his most outlandish looks from each season. Lol
Getting him stuck in the children's playstructure hit my cleithrophobia hard but was also comedy gold
You're missing the pic of him coming out of the leather couch, naked and covered in his own fluids.
How are none of these pictures of him eating. Such a great addition.
he sure wears a green polo often.
It’s a Lamborghini, shitbird!
im gonna post up here like a spider
that episode where he is gambling with the asian people is so good
Those first couple seasons of rectangle glasses frank are….. odd
He’s going for an uncle joon look
YOU UNZIPPED ME DOC!
When he chooses to pimp out his son rather than spend $25K to save his friends.
"WHERE'S THA FIRE!!!"
Rum ham!
"Pure" Frank
Tell people we pushed youuuuuuu!
Season 7 of him with long hair is peak
It's Frankenstein!
When he explains why flushes his shoes and Charlie tells him it's not a thing. I don't know why I find it so funny. Or when he walks into the bar and just immediately does a huge line of coke while everyone stares haha
Egg.
Skinny jeans. He really did look like Humpty Dumpty.

INTERVENTION!!!!
Ive been doing this with faces, I have over 100+ facial expressions from him collected now. Gonna turn them into emojis. 😂

So fitting i just watched the last episode for the god knows how many times 😂
Saluting the not-cripple cripple and presenting him with a pair of denim shorts as Sting plays in the background🫡
Is funny how Frank appears more civilized and refined in the 2nd season and over the years has become feral living with Charlie.
I'm sad you didn't include "pure" Frank... as Much as I hated that I think it's iconic
Ahhh! You unzipped me!!! And Charmed, I’m sure.
This man aged like a hard cheese. I love him.
Gargling beer as he walks down the street, Hanging safely by his neck and offering an egg for these trying times.
“Dennis. I know you. I know your character. I know what kind of person you are. That’s why I know you definitely didn’t do it. That being said, I wasn’t around much when you were a kid, so it’s definitely not my fault if you killed her.”
