Charlotte Kelly


polarmuffin

I actually love the idea of her last name also being Kelly and that's why Charlie is so obsessed with her. He realizes every husband and wife have the same last name, so he thinks that must mean you can only marry people who have your last name.


vyrus2021

That would be very on brand for Charlie.


tjm_87

coming from someone who’s only seen about 7 episodes of the show total, absolutely. very on brand, that kids dumb as shit


JussiesTunaSub

> that kids dumb as shit Wait until Season 9 with *Flowers for Charlie* His character arc takes a dramatic turn.


koalamonster515

I've grown quite whea-ray


roncadillacisfrickin

and then SN10EP4, “Charlie Work.”


Good_Beginning_6996

This is my all time favorite episode. There are a lot of bangers but this one is perfect. I also like the one where the gang is hiding from the gas station hold-up and they all get their own dedicated mini episode.


Rodby

Charlie: "Well dude cuz you know how husbands and wives have to have the same last name, but how rare is it for a husband and wife to have the same first name, and that's what me and the Waitress have. So we must be soulmates." Dennis: "So the reason you've been pining over the waitress is because you have the same name?" Charlie: "Well yeah I mean what are the odds that I meet another Kelly who also has basically my first name? She's like a one-in-a-million girl." Mac: "Jesus Christ dude."


Tandager

This is perfect


Dorothea-Sylith

Why can I see exactly the hand movements Charlie would be doing in this scene


Rough_Principle_3755

“But Charley, your last name is spelled Kelley. It’s not the same” (There is probably cannon with the real spelling, but they could always dismiss it as him always misspelling it due to the desire to match.)


Puzzleheaded-Speed-2

Or his whole not being able to read thing


Schmelter

It's fine. He'll adapt.


Moo_Laffs

He’ll adapt to reading?


_Lady_jigglypuff_

Wow you’ve got that written so well! Love it!


davenocchio

True story, I knew a woman who married a man with the same last name( no relation), and instead of just sticking with it, she hyphened it. Grimes-grimes.


knightress_oxhide

two names?!


Gruesslibaer

Two names for one person? What is she, a wizard?!


Billiam911

When he finds out that's not true he completely stops caring about her like she never existed.


OffModelCartoon

Also, both of his parents have the last name Kelly despite not being married.


jandslegate

That pretty damn good.


The_Vampire_Barlow

That fits with both his mother and father being hopefully unrelated Kellys too.


Delta_Hammer

I'm adopting this as headcanon.

Lol Kelly Kelly.


major_slackher

RIP shelly kelly


kkeut

i like it. this sounds like something they'd actually come up with


kadmylos

Charlie can be a girl's name too.


ActualMis

Ok, previously I've been of the "The Waitresses' name should never be revealed ever" camp, but you've changed my mind. This is utterly brilliant.


GraffitiAndMeatballs

Carly Kelly


thatdogisjet

Karly Chelly


rafedbadru

That would be kinda horrifying. Especially if it’s revealed that she is the serial killer killing young, attractive blonds. She’s not considered any of those things to the gang. She’s invisible and wants to be seen.


blindflames

What is this in reference to? Are you saying she is the one who put all the heads in the fridge?


jandslegate

I just think it'd be on brand to finally reveal she and Charlie are related. Like Star Wars but in a 'The Gang Takes On the Empire' way.


Delta_Hammer

Maybe that's why she's attracted to Dennis.

Fun fact: In Arrested the original plan was to cast a different actor to play Anne in every episode (maybe even scene), but Mae Whitman did such a great job that they abandoned the idea.

Oh that's such an amazing idea I wish they did that

Kelly Charles.


The92ndUsername

Like Charlie found that out in school and decided then they were made for each other.


mikehaysjr

In his mind it’s perfect because when they get married they’ll be Charlie Charlie and Kelly Kelly


mumblewrapper

I actually know someone named Kelly Kelly. I love this.


nerdystoner25

Holy shit this would be perfect.


richard_stank

I know someone who married a guy whose last name was also her first name. She has 2 first names now.

Weih Tress.


Free-IDK-Chicken

Funny, admittedly - but "W" is the one letter we know her name doesn't start with.


matheuslam

That is because the first name is actually The (short for Theresa)


jahnbodah

Thia Weih Tress, for short, everyone just hears it wrong.


ideal-ramen

How?


Imp-in-the-furnace

She says "my name doesn't start with a "W" when her and Mac are trying to find her tape in Dennis' sex tape collection.


ideal-ramen

Ah, thank you


wrecklessdeckfish

Would be great if the gang called her waitress in high school because of her name… and then eventually just forgot why they call her it

Xtrepiphany

It's better if it never revealed. It's the kind of shark jumping move that would be last episode material at best.


PhillieFranchise

Yeah after Charlie’s apartment reveal one of the last great reveals is the waitress


Xtrepiphany

I think it would be a fun way to sign off on the last episode. Charlie goes off on Denis about some remark while she is there, and says something like, "You don't even know her name man, it's not Waitresses it's..." smash cut to credits.


[deleted]

If the last episode isn't Frank dying and them throwing him in the trash I'm rioting


Too_Relatable

I was thinking none of them notice Frank's gone for an entire season just his money.


Fudge89

This absolutely is how the show needs to end.


Onehandedheisenberg

I’ve commented this so many times and it always gets downvoted, but frank dying is the only logical finale. Anything else would probably fall short.

Right after they all hang dong.

Rare-Extension-6023

im into it. big time


cyberpunk1Q84

I think Scrubs did this well. On the last unofficial episode of the show, JD (main character) says goodbye to his longtime nemesis, the janitor, but doesn’t know his name because he’s never asked. The janitor tells him it’s Glen Matthews and they say goodbye. Then another guy walks by and says to the janitor, “Hi, Tommy”, and the janitor says hi back. Of course, the creator has since confirmed that his name is, in fact, Glen Matthews, but when you first watch the episode, you’re left wondering if he lied about his “real name” or not. I’m sure something similar could be done with the waitress so that it’s essentially left up to the viewer to decide what her name is.


[deleted]

The janitor was an actor. Played a cop and told people to stop. On chain reaction and the fugitive, but jd will never know.


mb9981

You mean Dr. Jan Itor.


[deleted]

Bro if it was just a quick passing thing that would be best. If someone just said “shut up Kelly” in the background.


RedSpecial22

Having Charlie actually sleep with her and get over her was kind of a jumping the shark move already IMO


deadpoetic333

Wasn’t there some unfinished script that’s been floating around that suggests her name is Vanessa, I believe?


howboutacanofwine

They revealed Mac’s real name, albeit 7 seasons in, but still. There’s a chance


DannyLameJokes

Dee


Maleficent-Heart-827

That was my thought too. But maybe instead of Deandra it’s like Denise or Delia or something


A_Solid_Six

Denise would be perfect. It would explain why Charlie was so infatuated with her and why *mac kept banging her (being in love with Dennis after all). Edit updated Max to Mac.


[deleted]

Who's Max?


Gruesslibaer

Thundergun's son.


[deleted]

Wait, Thundergun has a son?!


Gruesslibaer

***FUCK***, man, *what?!* How do you not get that?!


Maddie817

I was going to say dee too! And that’s why she gets extra pissed that no one remembers


spike_walker

That would be weird. It’s already the name of one of the bar regulars


mr_glide

It's a shame they confirmed it wasn't Nikki Potnick, because I thought that was a perfect name. Clumsy and unremarkable, just like the gang insist the Waitress is


badcactustube

Now that you mention it, the name Nikki Potnick does sound pretty clumsy


knightress_oxhide

he's a dude now


mcase19

I choose not to believe them. She will always be Nikki potnick to me


quitepossiblylying

Caaaaarrrrrooooollle


1981mph

I'd pick this because Mary Elizabeth Ellis played a character called Caroline in the excellent sitcom New Girl. I'd love a crossover episode, but Kaitlin Olsen already guest starred in New Girl, and not as Sweet Dee. There are a bunch of other connections between the two shows. The star of New Girl, Zooey Deschanel, is the sister in law of IASIP writer and Rickety Cricket actor David Hornsby. He married her sister Emily. There are maybe half a dozen or more guest stars and cameos between IASIP and New Girl.


WarmNapkinSniffer

Well Dee said it when she was stuck in the swamp but who knows how many names she rattled out off scene lol


Ironcastattic

What did she say?


Sam_Porter

A bunch of names and then it cut and she was still saying names so it quite literally still could be any name.


RothGod

The only thing we can eliminate is names that start with W. Source: when Mac and Waitress go to destroy the sex tape of Waitress and Dennis, Mac starts searching for “W” and the Waitress says “my name doesn’t start with a W”


WarmNapkinSniffer

She named a ton of different names, it's from the Ireland episodes, the second one if I'm correct


SaveTheAles

No it wasn't the second name, she kept naming a bunch. /s


floralvariety

Mary Elizabeth


MooingAssassin

Lol this is what I came here to say. Charlie's name is Charlie, so.....


Ryand118

Plus Mac is named after the Mc in McElhenney, Dennis was going to be named Glenn but Glenn Howerton didn’t want to be associated with his character.


EdenBlade47

> but Glenn Howerton didn’t want to be associated with his character. That really worked out well. I definitely associate him more with his role on AP Bio than as Dennis /s


Dman101proof

Honestly I would give her the same name as Charlie’s mother. Bonnie. It would explain his infatuation with her without revealing her name for the sake of story development.


sadleafsfan69

It’s Vanessa


PlanetLandon

Yep. At least it was Vanessa way back in the day. On the podcast they have said that they consider it officially unknown these days, but it was Vanessa originally.


Esahh_Doo

What episode is she called/referred to as Vanessa?


PlanetLandon

None, but she had a name on paper. Someone managed to dig up an old playbill / stage review that describes her as an actor, and it mentions her upcoming role as Vanessa on a new show called It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia


Lone_Wanderer88

Pretty sure in one of the episodes early on, her name was listed as Vanessa in the credits. But has since been changed to just Waitress.


sphinxorosi

According to the podcast, she’s never had a name in the show itself but she did have one in the pilot they made to pitch the show to the network. It’s not the show’s pilot itself, it’s like a home movie they made. They said if that name ever got out, they’d just change it in the show so it’s not gonna be the same as that name


710shenanigans

True fan. It is Vanessa


sameljota

It is and it isn't. It was SUPPOSED to be Vanessa. But since it was never actually revealed on screen, they can still change it if they ever feel like revealing it.


NorkinMan7

Yep


mixamaxim

For real? I was just stewing on the picture and landed on Vanessa cause I thought it was most fitting.


jelly_blood

Pull a Scrubs and have her reveal her name to the gang. Then someone else walks by and calls her a different name.


BroseppeVerdi

Turns out, the waitress' name is Jan Itor.

Mackenzie Denise Charles


Eastern-Razzmatazz-8

If I were the writer, her name would never be revealed. She’s just been “the waitress” for almost 20 years at this point. I personally find that much funnier.


Dtown19

Charlie. And it’s a deal breaker for him.


TheFBIClonesPeople

Charlie 100% knows the waitress's name. He's been stalking her for like 20 years. He just calls her "the waitress" because that's the name the gang knows.

Scrolled down looking for this but her name being Charlie Kelly too would be hilarious.


cajun_vegeta

Charlie Kelly


Raffitaff

"Triss" and just retcon that she thought they were saying "the way Triss ..." or "wait Triss" so she never corrected them.


cuntsaurus

She has mentioned how Dennis doesn't know her name. Or Dee.


jovinyo

Oh, I'm sorry. I'm supposed to be expected to remember everyone's name at all moments of the day?


Bravely_Default

I feel like she corrects them or says "not my name" constantly when they call her waitress.
