Charlie and Dennis

Charlie and Dennis are best friends and both members of the Gang that runs and operates Paddy's Pub.

Early History[]

Charlie, Mac, Dee and Dennis went to the same high school. (Charlie Wants An Abortion, The High School Reunion). Mac and Charlie have known each other longer as they went to St. Vincent's Elementary School (Charlie Got Molested) while Dennis (and possibly Dee) went to Waldron Elementary School (Sweet Dee's Dating a Retarded Person).

The Waitress problem[]

Dennis slept with the Waitress after telling her that Charlie had cancer. Charlie had told Dennis he had cancer to get Dennis to convince the Waitress to go out with him out of pity. (Charlie Has Cancer). Dennis would later enrage Charlie when he asked the Waitress out to force Charlie (now manager of the bar) to let Dennis out of "Charlie Work". Charlie and Dee manipulated the Waitress into thinking Dennis was sleeping with Mac's mom and Charlie's mom to convince her to sleep with Charlie to get back at Dennis. Instead she sleeps with Dennis father Frank whose toupee falls off during sex. The Waitress later promises to have sex with Mac to manipulate him into helping her destroy the sex tapes Frank and Dennis each made of their sleeping with the waitress. Mac agrees because he wants to get revenge on Charlie for destroying his Project Badass tape. In reality Charlie had destroyed Frank's sextape of him and the Waitress. Charlie enlists Mac's help in finding out who the Waitress is seeing. Dennis is hurt when Charlie calls Mac his best friend and cannot understand why. Charlie points out that Dennis sleeping with the Waitress rubbed him the wrong way. Eventually Charlie, Mac and Dennis decide that the three of them together are best friends instead of just any of the two of them. (Mac's Banging the Waitress)

Notes[]

A notable pattern throughout the series is that Dennis tends to treat Charlie the best out of anyone from the gang, they're witnessed as having a brotherly bond.

Dennis has also physically injured Charlie multiple times, more than the rest of then have. This aligns with Dennis feeling like he can easily control and manipulate Charlie due to his lack of intelligence.

Both men have experienced CSA (Childhood Sexual Abuse) from an adult figure and have bonded over it before.
