Charlie Work is the janitorial work that needs to be done at Paddy's Pub that the gang refuses to do. It is typically done by Charlie Kelly.

Examples of Charlie Work include:

• Cleaning toilets (Paddy's Pub: The Worst Bar in Philadelphia, Bums: Making a Mess All Over the City)
• Changing out kegs (Charlie Has Cancer)
• Working in a mail room with Mac (Sweet Dee Has a Heart Attack)
• Killing rats (Charlie Goes America All Over Everybody's Ass, The Great Recession)
• Hose down seats where people died (The Gang Finds A Dead Guy)
• Burning trash (The Great Recession)
• Filling in dick holes (Mac and Charlie Die (Part 2))

The rest of the Gang usually refuses to do Charlie Work, unless forced to do so. In one episode, Frank Reynolds fired Dennis as manager of the bar, and put Dee and Dennis in charge of Charlie Work. (Mac Bangs Dennis' Mom)

QuotesEdit

Charlie: Okay, I just killed three very large rats that were stuck in glue traps.

Dennis: Good work.

Charlie: No. No, no, that's not good work. I am done with rat detail. That's by far the worst job in the bar.

Dennis: That's why we call it Charlie Work.

:Dennis: (to Charlie) Okay, listen. Here's the deal. Uh, I'm gonna bang her tonight, probably around 10:30 or so. Now, I really don't wanna do that. So all you have to do to stop me is call my cell phone, by 10:30, and say "Dennis, you don't have to do Charlie Work anymore".

:Frank: There are gonna be some changes made. All right, first of all, you two, from now on, are gonna do all of Charlie's work. (Dennis and Dee protest) Stop! Charlie, you got a lot of balls stealing my money. This shows leadership. I am promoting you to management.

Charlie: That's why I did it.

Mac: That's—that's fantastic! That's why I did it, too, Frank! I stole lots of your money. What do I get?

Frank: You get dick because you are a follower and a thief.

Dee: But ... how come Charlie—no fair. How come Charlie—

Dennis: No, why would you do this to us, Dad?
