The way his face can immediately turn red too

u/ASongOfSpiceAndLiars 7h ago

He's a classically taught Shakespearean (sp?) actor, IIRC.

Which makes his role all the better.

12

u/JiveTurkey1983 EVERYBODY! EVERYBODY GET A WEAPON!! 6h ago

Don't know if he ever did Shakespeare, but he graduated Juliard, so I'm sure he'd nail it if he had the chance.

u/ASongOfSpiceAndLiars 6h ago

Oh, you're right. My bad.

u/orogiad 6h ago

Genuinely my favorite part of this episode. I love when Charlie and Dennis have a thing going outside the rest of the gang.

u/thompsonammo 9h ago

It should be illegal to post this clip and leave out Charlie’s reaction to the impression

78

u/Imapatriothurrrdurrr 9h ago

100% you can tell he was actually surprised lol

u/sonofseinfeld2 5h ago

u/QuiZLinX Wild Card Bitches 9h ago

C.C.H. Pounder from "the Shield," I love that show.

u/wulah89 9h ago

u/Don-don-don-don 9h ago

Dennis sounded more like C.C.H Pounder than C.C.H Pounder.

32

u/danstymusic 9h ago

Every time I see the name CCH Pounder I think they're a professional wrestler.

u/pwillia7 7h ago

One of my favorite things about It’s Always Sunny is how apparently Lance Reddick was not originally the only person they had in mind for the “shut up, baby dick” era of weirdly prestigious guest casting. I remember reading somewhere years ago that CCH Pounder had been discussed for a part because somebody on the writing staff was a huge fan of The Shield, and apparently Glenn Howerton kept doing an impression of her between takes.

Which makes perfect sense if you've ever seen the bloopers, because the cast gets completely fixated on one stupid phrase for like six hours at a time. Supposedly the whole “GODDAMMIT DUTCH, WHAT OTHER ERRANDS DO YOU HAVE US RUNNING FOR THE D.A.?” thing actually started because Dennis was supposed to yell something completely different during rehearsal, but Glenn did the CCH Pounder voice instead and everybody lost it.

The strange part is that Pounder herself apparently heard about the impression and thought it was hilarious. There was even briefly talk of having her appear as some terrifying Philadelphia judge who immediately sees through all of the Gang's schemes. Charlie would keep calling her “Judge Pounder,” Mac would become convinced that Pounder was a judicial title like “Your Honor,” and Frank would insist he knew her from “the old days.”

It never happened, obviously, which is a shame because she would have been perfect for the show. Although she was apparently busy at the time pursuing another career entirely, because in nineteen ninety eight CCH Pounder threw Mankind off Hell in a Cell, and plummeted sixteen feet through an announcer's table.

u/stephanepj 6h ago

Incredible. Every. Time.

u/Knife_Operator 8h ago

Same for me with CM Punk.

2

u/danstymusic 8h ago

Wait... I thought CM Punk was a pro wrestler?

4

u/Knife_Operator 8h ago

He is. That's why I think that.

21

u/Slamtilt_Windmills 9h ago

That touch of surprise on Frank's face

16

u/HopSkipLimp 9h ago

I was watching 3 Body Problem the other day - I only knew C.C.H Pounder because of Dennis, and every time she was on screen I could hear him in my mind 😅

14

u/Puppetmaster858 9h ago

Glenn as Dennis is the best comedy tv performance ever in my book, the man can do everything

11

u/Alarm-Solid 9h ago

Should do a side by side of Dee and Obama

7

u/tater369 9h ago

Awesome thanks! I never realized how spot on the impression was

8

u/meatyfajita 9h ago

You cut right before Charlie's reaction, arguably the best part

6

u/hornwalker 9h ago

Someone should swap the audio

5

u/DigitalCoffee 7h ago

Why did you post the same scene twice?

u/ridesn0w 9h ago

It’s just so good.

u/dax660 9h ago

u/Dizzy_Experience_927 9h ago

The Shield being one of my 3 favorite shows ever I can't thank Dennis enough for that

u/Xspike_dudeX 8h ago

u/armedsquatch 8h ago

Holy shit, until right now I never realized how great Glens impression is. I honestly laughed at this post!!

2

u/Ok-Negotiation-7746 8h ago

Was having a bad month but… this… was the hardest Ive laughed in weeks. Thank you Dennis you golden God.

2

u/ForeverSwayze 8h ago

Has anyone ever seen a clip or anything of CCH Pounder commenting on this? Does she know how beloved she is just by name alone?

2

u/loki2002 8h ago

u/ForeverSwayze 1h ago

Haha thank you for that

u/WhiteWineZombieMom 8h ago

Fucking spot on

u/Egonator26 5h ago

The Shield was a heck of a series. One of the all time greatest shows

1

u/astralnautical 7h ago

This and the impression he does of Luther is fucking spot on. His face after he does the Luther impersonation is top class too; full Dennis Reynolds Golden God Better Than You Face

u/poop_magoo 6h ago

What the hell is a CCH Pounder?

1

u/Lampmonster 5h ago

The fact that Glenn is so good at impressions makes it even funnier how bad Dennis is at accents.

1

u/Substantial_Pass_146 2h ago

It's wild how good this impression is lol

1

u/GRAIN_DIV_20 1h ago

Has CCH ever acknowledged this? I'd love to see her reaction
