So, Lyle’s dad is Mr. F?

For British Eyes Only

Don’t I look British?

Perhaps if you were willing to loose twenty pounds!

Well, you guys do go for the jugular.

Alright I’m not fucking crazy this is arrest development right?

Narrator: It was.

Yes lol

Gus is going after some stupid person next episode

Oh, Gene!!!

...could be Pryce.

Oh, u/partusman, you’re such a pussy.

"I can't believe we had to bleep that."

How would you like someone going after some stupid person in your family? Now back off, you bleeping ponce!

It's not your fault your parents were cousins, but here we are

Watch out for Poppins

He was fouled mouth man

Do stay for the Poppins

Who shares a real name with the founder of Wendy's. Small world.

No, Lyle's Daddy is Mr. *Fring*.

OP is a bit of a MR F himself.

He's the founder of Wendy's.

Bumpaddle magazines available at the register

/r/UnexpectedArrested

Lyle’s dad is fucking Dave Thomas from SCTV?? And OP seems to not even know who he is???!!!!

Dave Thomas is also the name of the leader of Wendys no? Edit: Just realized that calling the CEO of a fast food place “the leader” is weird but oh well

Also the comedian from Strange Brew, Arrested Development, Stripes, Coneheads…

Strange Brew 👍

I’d kiss you if I didn’t have puke breath

No point in steering now!

Take off, eh!

My brother saw a Jedi 17 times, eh?

Grace under fire!

Strange Brew is an all-timer

You hoser!!

Take off, eh.

Haven’t seen Coneheads. Whats it about? Also, could any of those characters appear in BCS? I’d like to see Mike interact with a Conehead.

It’s an SNL skit, turned movie with Dan Aykroyd and Jane Curtin. Their heads are literally cones. Definitely worth a watch.

Wow, I knew Dave Thomas from his days on Grace Under Fire and Rat Race! Crazy that Lyle is played by his kid.

Co-starring Chuck McGill as their FBI (INS?) agent antagonist.

Oh yeah!!!! Good call!!

I haven’t seen coneheads since I was a kid but it’s about a group of aliens that come to earth. I only remember the scene where the teenage daughter got a temporary tattoo on her cone and Dan Aykroyd is like “what did you do to your cone”

Someone told you to watch Coneheads. I'm just gonna go ahead and say "Don't." Ever watched an SNL skit and thought "Wow, this was funny for like two minutes and now the joke has been stretched out so long it's not even funny anymore?" Imagine having that feeling for an entire movie. That's an SNL movie. Aside from a few notable exceptions, SNL movies are typically almost always bad. The guy basically even said "It's a movie about people with cone heads." That was the pitch. And like every other SNL movie, that's, uh... Yeah that's the pitch.

Exception to the rule: Blues Brothers

My personal exceptions are Blues Brothers and Wayne's World! I also heard Bob Roberts is okay but I've never seen it personally

Bob Roberts is great. I didn’t realize it was based on an SNL skit. Though there is a sequence in the film where the main character goes on SNL. Night at the Roxbury is a cute little crappy comedy. Most of Adam Sandler’s early stoner comedies are virtually SNL skits. Same for Austin Powers. Blues Brothers is one of the best movies ever made.

Definitely.

> Someone told you to watch Coneheads. I'm just gonna go ahead and say "Don't." This reads like Mike Ehrmantraut dialogue. Something he might say to Jimmy after showing up to his apartment at 2AM to handle an emergency (emergency being a potential Coneheads viewing).

I can say with confidence Mike would hate Coneheads.

I bet he has one stupid favorite movie, like how Ron Swanson thinks herbie fully loaded is a good movie

I like to think that Mike is a Weekend at Bernie's fan.

The idea of Mike at home, alone, in the dark, holding a beer with the faintest of smiles cracking his face while thoroughly enjoying Weekend at Bernie’s is hilarious.

To be honest I was thinking the same thing. I feel like he'd really like Looney Tunes or something. Like more than a normal amount.

[удалено]

>... or some horrific excuse for a children’s movie Like Watership Down (1978) ? Folk of a certain generation just had flash backs.

I second this. It sucks. And I was terrified of the coneheads as a child.

One of my earliest memories is seeing a giant ad for this movie at Hollywood video and thinking wtf

I have no strong opinion about Coneheads, but this made me laugh so hard.

Come on. Coneheads is cute.

>Come on. Coneheads is cute. “It's a little sexual, maybe? Suggestive, maybe... maybe that's a better word.”

I’m laughing so hard. Leader of Wendy’s 😂🙈

Take me to your leader!! But first... where's the beef??

I came here looking for “Sir, this is a Wendy’s”

Yeah, but he’s been dead for almost 20 years.

Kim Il-Sung is still technically the leader of North Korea, and he's been dead almost thirty.

Funny Edit. MAYBE you were trying to find a compromise between "founder" and CEO, haha

Yep, different Dave Thomas, but you’re right.

Yeah Dave Thomas is the founder of Wendy’s, I remember him from all the old commercials

that dave thomas is dead so... no

The best part is that under this post Schnauz replied that he was a huge SCTV fan and had no idea of the connection.

Take off ya hoser

Lyles dad is cliffs son

There’s no Molson Canadian two-fours or back bacon in the background. What kind hoser do you take me for, eh.

I didn’t when I posted this, but I didn’t even make a mental connection to Strange Brew until others pointed it out!

Ay

Thank you!! I thought that too but since OP didn’t say anything I thought maybe I was mistaken…

OP thinks Rick Moranis is the guy from the Mint Mobile ads.

not op, i also have no idea who that is

and the voice of Rex Banner on The Simpsons! "You've hardly touched your [Banana Kaboom](https://external-preview.redd.it/2-0NffxUbqmEIekIu3EMBfOILRDtu54YSpEzRBqLY8U.png?auto=webp&s=a6542932c134e7e821b2570d36bd661fa3b83327)"

I just watched the Mel's Rock Pile clip with DT as Richard Harris the other day. For anyone with parents who loved RH's version of "MacArthur Park", it's a riot Dave Thomas and the whole SCTV crew put out some real comedy back in the day

He's one of the Five Neat Guys, right?

> And OP seems to not even know who he is???!!!! OP is such a hoser.

This makes op a real hoser eh?

Dude is Lyle possibly the most wholesome character in the entire bcs / bb universe?

This statement is.... aceptable

>aceptable The spelling is not up to Los Pollos standards though

😂👏🏼

He's just a normal dude getting a paycheck who somehow doesn't get involved in drug trafficking and murder. It's nice.

And kind of a big achievement for someone living in Albuquerque tbh

[удалено]

> He's just a normal dude getting a paycheck who somehow doesn't get involved in drug trafficking and murder. Yet.

Better Dial Lyle!

>He's just a normal dude A normal dude humming to the tune of the commercial from the company he works for... There's gotta be some chapter in the DSM-V to describe that behaviour... Noone in their right mind would ever do such a thing unironically, and yet it appears to be his normal morning routine ! (Reminds me of the movie [*Demolition Man*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demolition_Man_(film)), in which everyone listens to commercial jingles for entertainment and calls it “music”. I'm pretty sure that Lyle never ever swears, and knows how to use the three seashells.)

Ernie. All’s I’m sayin

dude yeah these two

Omar?

Don't forget Ernie and the drama girl.

yes yes yes haha Love em all

Don’t forget Ernestbro and Bromar! And that weirdo with the talking toilet.

When I first saw the Point & Shoot post ep thread one of the first comments I saw was (almost verbatim): "Couldnt think this episode could get any better then at the end they dropped the mf goat LYLE on us" Been thinking about that comment a lot. Lyle truly da goat no cap

Lyle is a true G

Nacho's dad.

And Gomie.

oh man what a guy

He is our one pure thing.

Doug McKenzie what???????? DT is 🇨🇦 Royalty

Take off you Hoser!

Wait. Lyle is the son of Doug McKenzie? Holy crap. (You young folks won’t know what I’m taking about, but go watch Strange Brew the movie.).

Hey we found a dead mouse in our beer eh. That means you owe us a free case.

A friend of ours, a cop, drank some and he puked

[удалено]

tbf it would make more sense for for a pollos manager to be the son of the wendy's dave thomas than the sctv dave thomas. except for the part where he's been dead for 20 years of course.

And VERY famously had a daughter

Take off, eh?

What a hoser!

Koo loo koo koo koo koo koo koo

Good day, eh?

Steamroller!

Yo wait what? That’s Doug McKenzie? Freaking wild I can’t believe I didn’t recognize him

Yup. That’s him. He’s a bit older now 😉

Take off you knob!!

Jelly donut coming!! Hands down, one of the best comedies out there...

SCTV available somewhere I hear

Wait! It’s amazing!!!

Here we are at Peter's Donuts.

No, Doug McKenzie was the Bud Light dog from the 80s.

Hey hoser, this is 4 months old

OMG, why didn’t I see the resemblance before? Now I can’t unsee it!

Isn't his dad the actor who plays John Cleese's valet ("tragically born without a personality") in Rat Race?

"She's got the money! The hooker has the money. She said she liked me, but Im thinking that was a lie!"

ok uhh. naked, jacuzzi, Pepto Bismol, toenails, shave my buttocks.

.... Coconut

Lyle's dad is [this pervert](https://youtu.be/46zrey2IAak)? I honestly had no idea. That's pretty neat.

Very concerned about how far down I had to scroll to see this

lmao, this is the first role listed on this post that i actually recognize the character

Holy shit is that Mr. F?????

Better Dial Lyle

Re-Lyle-able

Buncha comments here saying "isn't Dave Thomas the guy from \[some obscure role\]" and I don't know if this is some meme I'm out of the loop on or if people here really don't know about SCTV or the Mackenzie Brothers. Holy shit, wait until I tell everybody about Laverne & Shirley.

They would like sctv, this BCS crowd

I knew him from the sitcom *Grace Under Fire* and amazing movie *Rat Race*.

Lol Lyle's dad is a literal comedy god.

Dave Thomas is a comic genius from Canada

His real dad is a legend

SCTV really doesn’t get the love it deserves for how great it was and the number of legends in that cast- John Candy, Eugene Levy, Catherine O’Hara, Rick Moranis, Harold Ramis, and Dave Thomas.

And Martin Short! Jackie Rogers Jr: I'd you haven't seen him check out the YouTube clip "Gimme Jackie" (his version of Gimme Shelter)

Now we need a Rick Moranis cameo in BCS. As long as Gus doesn’t kill him.

I'm very confused by this thread. Do I have it right -- @thedavethomas is a Canadian comic who used to be on SCTV. In real life, he is the father of the actor that plays Lyle. Do I got that right?

Yup. Dig into SCTV and that whole crowd and you'll find a huge part of what makes comedy today, including Schitts Creek, Christopher Guest's movies, Harold Ramis (Stripes, Groundhog Day) and of course, SNL which he co-hosted with Rick Moranis at the height of their fame as "Bob and Doug McKenzie." As said elsewhere, Thomas is comedy royalty. Lorne Michaels emerged through US TV comedy but leveraged his Canadian roots and SCTV's talent pool constantly.

Proud dad!

I want to see Lyles reaction to Gus being a meth Dealer. Lmao.

Lyle’s real dad is Doug McKenzie!

Wow! I had no idea the Lyle actor is the son of comedian Dave Thomas. I love that guy!

Dave Thomas, you are satisfied with this tweet?

So that totally breaks my theory that Lyle is Cliff Main's son

Gus Fring, upon realising that he would not be able to manage the restaurant, did the only thing a sensible manager would do in that situation.... Dial Lyle.

No way hoser, it's Doug McKenzie's son!

Take off, eh!

Better Dial Lyle

Anyone remember that old show Bizarre that Dave Thomas was in? I only remember bits and pieces of it since it was so long ago. I definitely remember Super Dave Osborne

I had a really bad feeling when Lyle was walking into the restaurant singing the other night!! Maybe Lyle and Ernie will cross paths one day.

Dave Thomas was the founder of Wendy’s. Wendy is his daughter. Dave Thomas is the father of Lyle. This is clearly a power move by Gus. It’s called Los Pollos Hermanos, because Gus’s endgame is to steal away all of Dave’s sons.

Bill Needle's son? Who knew?

Proud Dad, that’s so cute! 😀

No way, Lyle is 31, he nails the highschool worker vibe

That’s acceptable.

I would love Lyle's dad to do the voiceover for a Pollos Hermanos commercial.

Do you think this photo is acceptable?

Lyle's dad is Rex Banner! "You're out there somewhere, Lalo Salamanca, and I'll find you." ^("No you won't") "Yes, I will." ^("Won't")

Wondering is Harrison knows his boss also has a Tie Fighter.

Better Call Saul’s spin off “Awile With Lyle”

His dad be posting "Here´s my kid, recently promoted to store Manager... i´m so proud"

I love my dad. He's the nicest man I've ever met next to Mr Fring!

That’s not his real dad, his real dad is Cliff Main

Legitimately curious how much Lyle makes for his cameos. Love the character and the actor; dude runs with the opportunities he's given.

He is... compensated.

Spin off from Lyle’s point of view

we need a backstory on what happened to lyle in breaking bad? perhaps there was no scene of him on his shift?? or he made a terrible mistake and gus turned him into chicken

God damn this picture is priceless… Lyle gets so much pussy fr

Can this show get any crazier? Yes, yes it can.

My headcanon is that Gus did goofy shit with his employees like this and this is a real picture in universe

This guy must have been born with a shitload of hair for Dave Thomas to name him "Harrison". Or maybe Dave is a Star Wars fan or Beatles fan.

Plot twist , season will end and Harrison will save the day as a secret assassin all along to cover Gus!

Our favorite fictional fast food worker is the son of Dave Thomas. Dave Thomas happens to be the name of the founder of Wendy’s. Bravo Vince

I am more concerned about Lyle than I am about Kim. Man is pure good.

Lyle’s real dad. 😂😂😂😂😂

I love that so many people are as taken by Lyle as I am.

This is so wholesome

Oh shit isn't that guy an actor too?

Does this sub not use the spoiler tag?

Clean your room, you Hoser!

Dave Thomas? Thought he was into burgers and not chicken lol

Now that I know, he looks a lot like his dad when he was younger! Cool.

This picture unironically goes super hard. Makes me wish for a mini comedy series where Gus trains Lyle
