An NBC sitcom created by Greg Garcia and starring Jason Lee as Earl Hickey, a petty criminal, drunken vandal and all-around piece of obnoxious white trash.The show's story begins after Earl has a revelation one fateful day. He wins $100,000 from a Scratch 'n' Win lottery ticket only to get hit by a car during his celebration dance, losing the ticket to the wind and putting him in traction. While he's high on painkillers, his promiscuous wife Joy hands over divorce papers so she can run off with Earl Jr.'s real daddy, Darnell. While watching TV, he sees Carson Daly explain the concept of karma.It occurs to Earl that the reason his life sucks is because he's done nothing but bad things to a lot of people, and that maybe he would have better luck if he made up for them. To that end, he prepares a list of all of the bad things he can remember doing, and starts finding a way to make up for them, one by one. Starting on his first item of picking up litter (because he used to litter a lot), he walks to the trash and comes across his missing lotto ticket. This is evidence to him that karma really does work, and he sets out to scratch every item off the list. The Lotto money allows him to focus all his attention on his list.Most episodes show how Earl deals with one entry on his list, helped (and sometimes hindered) by his friends, most often his simple brother Randy, hotel cleaning lady Catalina, Joy and Darnell. Any given item on his list is likely to be more complicated than a simple "stole 10 dollars" where it causes additional problems for the person involved and Earl goes to extremes to repair the damage he caused. He initially starts out of karmic fear, but he finds that dedicating himself to the list and doing good things changes him. It causes a similar ripple effect through Camden.The show falls well down the ideal side of the Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism; the concepts of karma and inherent goodness are integral to the premise, and indeed, to most of the episode plots. Despite this, it does not shy away from many ideas and topics that other shows on that end do. It also adheres more strictly to the concept of karma than straight idealism, meaning it's a little more realistic and/or cynical than the usual idealistic fare. Many bad things happen to the characters, but they almost always provide character development, and serve an ultimately good purpose.The show ran from 2005 to 2009 before it was cancelled after four seasons. Several rival networks expressed interest in picking up the show after its cancellation, though this would have resulted in near-universal pay cuts, and so the show ended with no real resolution and several unresolved plot devices.

Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: While much of the time they are at each others throats Earl and Joy have admitted that despite their drunk Vegas wedding neither of them really regretted their time together. When those moments occur it is sentimental.

Arc Symbol
 My Name Is Earl / int_11e0d645
comment
Arc Symbol / Call-Back: Of a sort. In "The Magic Hour," Earl first comes across a toy xylophone when a little boy is playing with it. He mentions that he used to want to play xylophone, and he regrets giving it up. Later on, an annoyed Joy grabs the xylophone away from the child and hurls it up onto a roof. The episode ends with Earl sitting on the roof, playing that same xylophone while internally monologuing about not giving up on dreams (like his dream of getting good at the xylophone). In Season 4, one of the items on Earl's list is to get Joy a hottub, because he accidentally cost her a hottub she would have gotten as a reward for tradeshow modeling. Back in season 1, Joy requested that Earl buy her a hottub, but he refused because it would be too expensive.

Instantly Proven Wrong: On one episode we find out that Earl and Joy once sold an Alleged Car to a man. Earl tries to right this wrong only to find out that the experience left the man bitter and pessimistic about society and seemingly plans to kill everyone. Earl tries to change his mind by showing him that people can be nice. Unfortunately, he tries to track down the car and finds that everyone who's owned it did the same thing as Earl and Joy. He later gets Darnell to pretend he was the last owner who sold the car for scrap used to build a playground. In the narration, Earl says that he thought karma would forgive this falsehood. But then the car that was supposedly scrapped drives by.

Bilingual Backfire: When Joy asks Catalina how to say something in "Mexican", Catalina obliges by giving her a very wrong translation that would only get Joy into troublenote "Estoy aqui para ser tu perra"/"I'm here to be your bitch". Joy immediately knows Catalina is trying to pull a fast one, because the Spanish word for "bitch" was used, and Joy has been called a bitch in every language on Earth.

comment
Artistic License – Biology: Darnell accidentally gets stuck with a needle full of Pitocin (oxytocin) after Liberty suplexed the doctor that was going to give it to Joy. This causes Darnell to go into "labor." In actuality, while it does induce labor in pregnant women, in men it just increases feelings of relaxation and to some extent attachment...and also sleepiness. (This is why men tend to conk out after sex.)

In Season 1, Earl rides a bus and talks to a little girl who shares her treat with him. In Season 2, he does the same thing. Except that time, the little South-American girl was only showing him the churro because she only gets one a year, and was telling him she wanted him to move because he'd probably get targeted by gang members and she didn't want to get involved.

Only Sane Man: Earl, well, eventually anyway. At first he is just another Camden idiot, but by about halfway through the run he has become the only person with a working brain in Camden. It even becomes a plot point in the Prison-Arc where the Warden needs Earl simply because of this. Darnell also fits the role at times, but his shades of Conspiracy Theorist prevent him from fully qualifying.

Save Our Students: Conversed. When Earl goes Back to School (back to high school) to learn at least something and feel like a grown-up, his teachers are disillusioned about teacing and let him deal with the students to get them inspired because they know it's futile. Randy points out that it happens in every school movie ever. He's observant enough to warn Earl to be careful about developing breast cancer.

Heel–Faith Turn
 My Name Is Earl / int_266a9dd6
comment
Heel–Faith Turn/Faith–Heel Turn: A Scary Black Man gangster who went by "Hash Brown" and eventually became a minister ends up being on Earl's list at least three times, with each new list item revealed making him angrier and angrier until he snaps and decides to return to his gangster life. Then Earl recognizes his car and reveals that he broke the taillight on it (another list item). The broken taillight caused Hash Brown to get pulled over and be late for a deal which ended up turning into a brutal shootout, meaning that Earl had indirectly saved his life. Since this event was what had caused him to take up religion in the first place (he originally attributed it to divine intervention), he thanks Earl and goes back to being a minister. Another person on Earl's list was Donny, a former violent criminal lunatic who found religion while serving two years in prison for a crime Earl committed. Donny forgave Earl almost immediately, reasoning that if he hadn't gone to jail he wouldn't have cleaned up his act (and figuring that he'd have likely gone to jail anyway at the rate he was going). Similar to the first example, an early episode had Earl deal with an angry, religious old woman who became a nun after Earl's walkie-talkie hit the same frequency as her hearing aid and Earl pretended to be God, ordering her to do things for him and the others. When Earl revealed the truth, she left the nunnery, gave up on God, and returned to the trailer park, angrier than before. Earl's speech about her (and everybody around her) being happier when she was a nun made her realize he was right.

Ernie, the Crab Shack's original owner, vanished under unknown circumstances several years ago. Geraldo Rivera is able to piece together that he vanished during a blackout caused by someone hoisting the Central flag on the roof of the Shack (the small nation Camden tried to form during the Civil War when it refused to take sides), while he was trying to switch out tapes for the hidden camera in the ladies bathroom he used to generate exploitable content for his porn site business. The flagpole caught a power line when Darnell tried to remove it and caused a blackout. Eddie tripped, and fell down in the darkness. knocking him out cold at the worst possible time- right as he landed in a pool of fresh cement laid down to coat the bathroom floor, which he sank into, and it entombed him when it hardened. Since nobody ever figured out what happened to him all that time, he was in there so long it's almost assured he died- except his nose managed to stay above the surface, perhaps allowing him to breathe and stay alive until he finally kicked the bucket- unless his lungs had filled with cement. Everyone thought his nose was just an odd doorstop until then. And then Randy opts to instill us viewers with horror when everyone leaves the bathroom- he gives Ernie a Mercy Kill by clamping his nostrils shut while smiling and shushing him. If Ernie was still alive somehow, Randy's done something unspeakable.

Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow
 My Name Is Earl / int_2791ae1e
comment
Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow: The whole series is very flashback centered. Typically, all the actors playing themselves in the present and 20 years ago just get a (rather bad) black wig as a sign they are younger. Jason Lee had a giggle fit in the DVD Commentary over this trend. For the main actors, there are often some mild changes done, like Randy having a rat tail or Joy with her hair down instead of in bands.

Limited Wardrobe
 My Name Is Earl / int_2a7e7af1
comment
Limited Wardrobe: Darnell has literally three sets of clothes: a white tank top, a white ribbed long-sleeved t-shirt and a purple tuxedo (not counting his Crab Shack apron). Earl often wears an unbuttoned flannel shirt with a solid color t-shirt underneath and jeans. Randy wears something similar but is usually a blue-on-blue motif. Joy usually wears bright pink and if Catalina isn't wearing one of her stripper outfits or maid uniform she is often seen with brown slacks and a blue top. Generally the only time the characters' clothing varies is when they don disguises for various wacky hijinks. Darnell and Joy stealing the priest's and nun's clothes comes to mind. Then there's Darnell's spy costume, too.

Analogy Backfire: Earl wanted his post-marriage relationship with Joy to be more civil, "like Bruce and Demi," so he decided to give Joy the best marriage to Darnell she could ask for. With all that good energy floating between them again they slept together in a moment of weakness. Joy accused Earl of "seducing her" but he explained the Bruce and Demi analogy. Joy replied with "Please, don't you think Bruce and Demi have a quickie once in a while..."

Unrequited Love Switcheroo: Randy and Catalina. He was in love with her for most of the series, but she always turned him down. When she needed a Citizenship Marriage, he eagerly volunteered. She felt obligated to have sex with him as thanks, but deliberately tried to gross him out during the act so that he wouldn't want to do it again. It worked, but to her surprise, he turned out to be really good in bed, and now she wants him.

Ascended Meme: Taken to ultra-meta levels. Creator Greg Garcia started up an account on Television Without Pity under the name of whojackie, and began writing all these little bits and pieces on the My Name Is Earl forum that eventually coalesced into an actual episode of the series where whojackie is revealed to be a (very) minor character on the show. When TWoP users saw the episode they looked up Jackey's post history and saw that many of the things he posted on there foreshadowed the events of that episode, including being worried about his Murphy's (wall) Bed. After the episode aired they even had "Joy" post on the site under Jackey's name mirroring the events of the episode. All of the details are discussed in the DVD Commentary of that episode.

Boring, but Practical: Part of the Good Feels Good element is all the mundane ways it is rewarding to be a good person.

Darnell was a trained by and worked for his father as a secret agent. The reason he is in Camden is that he is in Witness Protection. And there is all that worry over his love of cheese... The bullet hole in the motel and the bloodstained sheets. Most notably, the night Joy's half sister paid her prom date to stab her and left her with a scar she apparently hand-stitched back together. We don't know what motivated it, nor have we actually seen the scar. Earl mentions a couple during his lecture in "The Professor." These include the reason the Air Force didn't shoot him, the amusement park, and what he was doing with the Ginsu knives. At the Halloween party where he unknowingly met Joy and conceived Dodge

Amicably Divorced: After a rocky first half of the first season, Earl and Joy eventually became rather good friends, and in the fourth season Earl (after two brief marriages in between) fondly admitted that she was his favorite wife. They ended up starting a tradition of still celebrating their anniversary (at the least with Joy giving Earl a corn dog).

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome
 My Name Is Earl / int_3ed23024
comment
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Despite the premise of the show being Earl making up for the bad he has done in his life, things aren't always that cut and dry. For instance, some of the people he wronged are not so quick to forgive him (it takes a few episodes for Earl's father to forgive him and a whopping three seasons for Didi to forgive him). Also, there are some list items he simply cannot make up for and cross off. Earl decides to check up on a brain-damaged man every day because his inability to make new memories means Earl cannot make it up to him. It is also revealed that Earl would have run into a list item he couldn't cross off in the Grand Finale. Earl's list supposedly contains every bad deed he's ever done. Except it doesn't. Naturally, a lifelong bully and criminal isn't going to remember every single bad thing he did and his actions will have affected people in ways he never knew. Thus, there are things that Earl has to add things to the list that he's either forgotten about or didn't know about. Additionally, Earl may be a good person now, but he still occasionally does something bad that he has to add to the list.

Tranquil Fury: Joy normally would go full on Unstoppable Rage if anyone crossed her, but when she was trying out some "happy pills" to help with her legal troubles nothing could faze her... until their neighbors accidentally hit Earl Jr. with a beer can. In her approach to them she remained perky and sweet but she basically said "I look sweet right now but I am going to stop taking those pills and we'll see what happens in a few days..."

"Could Have Avoided This!" Plot
 My Name Is Earl / int_44989f6f
comment
"Could Have Avoided This!" Plot: "Broke Joy's Fancy Figurine" has Joy, no longer caring about the figuring, repeatedly tell Earl to buy her a hot tub in order to cross her off the List. An example in and of itself, but then Season 4's "Joy in a Bubble" reveals that a different List item was for Earl costing Joy a hot tub several years ago. Arguably, the show as a whole would have been prevented had Earl not ran into the road after winning his scratch off. Though if he didn't, he likely never would have changed for the better.

Metaphorgotten: Inverted by Randy who, after he allowed two convicts to walk into an ice cream shop unsupervised, was offered the 'bull in a "Chinese" shop' analogy by Frank: And the real kicker here? Frank wakes up from a nap in the prisoner van when Randy tells him they've stopped for ice cream and warns him it's a hell of a mistake. When Randy runs off to keep his prisoners from trying to make a run for it he discovers they really only got ice cream, didn't try to ditch him, and chastise him for not trusting them, but then come to realize it was a wasted opportunity and never crossed their minds. Unfortunately, Randy repeated his mistake by leaving Frank unsupervised with the van unlocked- and he jumped on the chance to escape.

Fake Faith Healer: The show featured a rather young one after Earl fell into a coma. It turns out that when Earl was bad, he and Joy had gone to him for an injured leg and a facial blemish. After the kid cures those, Earl and Joy pull off a robbery that would have been impossible if they hadn't been cured, leading the boy to quit faith healing. Randy convinces him to come out of retirement to cure Earl's coma. It's then revealed that the boy doesn't actually have any healing powers and Earl and Joy were hired by his father to pose as clients.

Characterization Marches On
 My Name Is Earl / int_479f9ad0
comment
Characterization Marches On: Revisiting the first season it is interesting to see what was different in the beginning. Not quite to the degree Flanderization, but Earl was the only one to escape this trope as he had a sharp degree of character development. Randy was simple-minded but not all that stupid, Joy looked more like a streetwalker than a trailer park mom (her signature hair bands aren't in the early episodes), there is no hint of Darnell being a super-intelligent ex-spy and Catalina was a bit less feisty. With Darnell, it makes sense. He is in the Witness Protection Program, so he wouldn't want to hint at it. He even admits at one point that his behavior up to that point had been a ruse.

comment
The Atoner: Earl Hickey becomes one in the pilot after one Yank the Dog's Chain too many. Little Chubby turns out to be one. After Earl kicked him in the nuts, the pain made him take a walk to take his mind off of it. Since LC was an Idle Rich, that "walk" was implied to go around the world. His walk made him realize Good Feels Good, and came back to take over the family business with this philosophy. Then when he and Earl went to the doctors, it turned out the Heel–Face Turn was because Earl's kick caused his body to stop producing testosterone. When this was fixed, Little Chubby instantly went back to being a Jerkass. Before Little Chubby could get revenge for the Groin Attack, Earl reminded him that he didn't want to die being hated, so he gave himself a Groin Attack so he could go back to being nice. But in Little Chubby's next appearance, an elderly stripper he hired breaking her back made him realize he couldn't run the business being a pushover, so he had a transplant to receive new male parts so he could go back to being a jerk (the donor being a bull).

Early-Installment Weirdness: Joy's Subaru Brat lacked its American flag paint job in the pilot. Darnell's family being present at his wedding to Joy, which happened before Darnell's witness protection storyline was conceived. It's possible that Darnell somehow snuck his family to Camden (something Greg Garcia has suggested), or they're not his real family, which is hinted at in "Darnell Outted Part One" when he says his "grandmaz" isn't his real grandmother.

Easy Amnesia
 My Name Is Earl / int_55b1f9a1
comment
Easy Amnesia: Played with in the case of Sweet Johnny, in the episode of the same name. His amnesia was the end result of Earl tricking him into a series of increasingly dangerous stunts so that he could keep fooling around with his girlfriend behind his back. As a result, when he wound up slipping in the bathroom and hitting his head the day before his next stunt, that caused him to mentally be stuck living the same day for the past few yearsnote with is a loose interpretation of how anterograde amnesia works; in reality, victims of it lose their memory the moment they lose focus. Part of the issue Earl has with trying to cross him off is that his memory resets whenever he falls asleep, not helped by the fact that being made aware of not remembering several years of his life causes him to try and kill himself with his stunt. By the end of the episode, [[spoiler:not only does Sweet Johnny's memory not get fixed, but Earl resigns himself to the fact he can't cross him off.

His father Carl, also looking to keep him from moving back in, coerces him to stay with her because when kids are in the picture, a reluctant but decent father is better than no father, and his anger with her shouldn't be taken out on them. Looking back, Earl considered it the one good thing he did before he found karma.

Bottle Episode: The crew admitted that the COPS and Inside Probe episodes were to trim the budget for the normally expensive episodes. Because they were aiming for a documentary-look, filming consisted mostly of the cast just reading through their lines for an entire scene and then moving on to the next scene.

Earl's list supposedly contains every bad deed he's ever done. Except it doesn't. Naturally, a lifelong bully and criminal isn't going to remember every single bad thing he did and his actions will have affected people in ways he never knew. Thus, there are things that Earl has to add things to the list that he's either forgotten about or didn't know about. Additionally, Earl may be a good person now, but he still occasionally does something bad that he has to add to the list.

Putting the Band Back Together
 My Name Is Earl / int_65d658f
comment
At first, it seems like “Van Hickeyâ€�’s gonna be a simple Putting the Band Back Together plot where Earl has to make amends with Tom Sparks, the elderly lead singer of the band he once formed with Randy and Ralph, called “Phish Tahkoâ€�. You see, right before their first (and onlynote the others got drunk afterwards, and sold their instruments to get more beer) live performance at the Crab Shack, Ralph held a vote to kick him out for being too old, as the band was mainly formed to score chicks. And then when Ralph wants to immediately kick him out again, Tom points out he’s on the List... right above “Slept with Ralph’s Momâ€�note The guys scored some chicks, and spent the night at Ralph’s house. Earl’s intended girl blacked out, and the only other person awake was... well, guess.

The Unfair Sex
 My Name Is Earl / int_6ae4dedd
comment
The Unfair Sex: Zig-zagged in "Look Who's Coming Out of Joy," a Whole Episode Flashback filling in the details surrounding Joy cheating on Earl with Darnell. Previous episodes skimmed it over and even Played for Laughs but here her actions weren't condoned, although it did soften her a little with regards to the circumstances. The episode shows that Earl did take the news hard after it sunk in and technically left her for an afternoon before his dad convinced him to stick with a cheating wife and two kids that weren't his. But the interesting thing is his dad didn't really like Joy and only did it so that Earl knew what it meant to take care of someone (and keep Earl from moving back in with him). In hindsight Earl considers it the only decent thing he did before he found karma, and while he and Joy never really loved each other for the time they were together they needed each other.

Self-Punishment Over Failure: The episode "Sweet Johnny" revolved around Earl trying to make amends with an amatuer daredevil named Sweet Johnny. Because Sweet Johnny suffered a series of head injuries achieved so Earl could have sex with his girlfriend, he had developed a Groundhog Day-type mental condition. When Earl realized that, by being aware of this condition, Sweet Johnny would rather kill himself, Earl decided to not complete this item and instead circled it as a permanent reminder for what he did to Sweet Johnny.

Once More, with Clarity
 My Name Is Earl / int_7374ab13
comment
Once More, with Clarity: A common trope on this show is the fact that with certain list items, Earl never really had the full story: In "Barn Burner", Earl decides to help build a burn to replace the one he accidentally burned down as a kid when he and Randy attended a ranch for troubled youth, as one of the couselors found a cigarette Earl had smoked nearby. While work on the barn was wrapping up, Earl came to realize that by getting them kicked out of the ranch denied them the chance to turn their lives around, and so he decides to put Randy on the list for that reason. Randy doesn't want that, and in the struggle to try and stop Earl, he accidentally causes Earl to shoot himself in the hand with a nailgun. When Earl tries to argue that karma was trying to tell them this needed to happen, Randy admits that he caused the barn to burn down, having knocked over a lantern due to getting frightened by a large bird. "The Bounty Hunter" saw Earl trying to make things right with Jesse, the girl he was dating when he got drunk and married Joy; not helping matters was the fact that Jesse became a bounty hunter in order to get back at Joy after learning she had a warrent out for unpaid parking tickets. Towards the end of the episode, Joy comes clean and admits Earl didn't marry her by choice; she intentionally got him drunk so her child could have a father. "Number One" sees Earl learn that in stealing $10 from a guy, Paul, at a convenience store shortly before buying the lottery ticket, he actually wound up screwing the guy out of that same ticket, forcing him to decide to pay him back the full $100,000 (meaning he and Randy needed to earn back the money they already spent from it). Towards the end of the episode, the bus the two were one accidentally hits Paul, sending him to the hospital. It's there where Paul reveals to Earl what really happened that day: Paul was the one to run across Earl shortly after he got hit by "Old Lady Karma", and found the ticket. Instead of helping Earl, he ran away... and then got himself run over once the lady was convinced to go back. What's more, it turns out that same lady was on the bus. All of this goes to prove to Paul that Earl really deserved the ticket, and so gives him back the money. "The Magic Hour" sees Earl wanting to make things right with the parents of a Make-a-Wish child, Buddy, for having unknowingly taken away his wish of riding a horse in the 1998 New Years Day parade (by drunkenly stealing the horse the night before)... only to learn the doctor's misdiagnosed him, and he's still alive, as the doctors misdiagnosed him. Earl instead pivots, and helps Buddy put together his dream movie, a process that is hampered in part due to Buddy being a prima donna director, and storming off set repeatedly. By the time the movie is finished, and it's set to premiere, Buddy doesn't show up. Rather, his mom does. You see, Buddy repeatedly storming off wasn't because he was being a prima donna. He needed to get his medicine...

Chroma Key: Darnell uses this to insert Joy into various heroic situations to convince a young faith healer that she is a good person. The situations become increasingly outrageous, including Joy congratulating George Bush and US soldiers in Afghanistan and praying with the Pope. Earl and Randy visit a TV station to make amends with a news reporter who they previously embarrassed while on the air. Randy wanders over to the blue screen where the weather forecaster stands and unzips his jacket, revealing a blue shirt underneath. He freaks out when he sees himself on the monitor, thinking his body's disappeared.

"Anger Is Healthy" Aesop
 My Name Is Earl / int_74463f7f
comment
"Anger Is Healthy" Aesop: One season involved Joy going to trial because she stole a semi-truck. At one point, she's put on medication for her anger issues. Unfortunately, this happens when she and Darnell's neighbors move their trailer next to theirs. Because Joy has mellowed out and Darnell hates confrontation, neither of them complains. This changes when one of the neighbors hurts one of Joy's sons. She proceeds to inform them that she will stop taking her medication and will return after it wears off if they don't move their trailer. In "O Karma, Where Art Thou?", Earl decides to help Jeff Muskin have some time off work to go on his honeymoon because Earl stole his wallet and inadvertently stopped them from going on that honeymoon in the first place. Earl does this by filling in for Jeff at work while Jeff is away and he quickly learns that Jeff's boss, Mr. Patrick, is a horrible man who doesn't deserve any of the good things in his life and decides to restrain his anger out of fear of costing Jeff his job. After being humiliated too many times, Earl hospitalized Mr. Patrick by punching him out of anger, which resulted in his affair being exposed, his now ex-wife, Charmaine, finding the money Mr. Patrick stole from the business, and Mr. Patrick going to prison. Immediately feeling guilty for indirectly ruining his life, Earl nearly puts him on the list but Randy (in his own poor phrasing) assures Earl that he has nothing to apologize for because karma may have just used Earl as an agent to punish Mr. Patrick and balance everyone's karma. Mr. Patrick was finally punished for all his wrongdoings, Charmaine took ownership of the restaurant, and Jeff was promoted to a manager position which allowed him to give everyone a raise and provide health insurance to the other employees.

Superstition Episode: In an episode Randy makes Earl stay where he is because a black cat crosses his path; then just as the 5 hours (or however long it's supposed to take for the bad luck to dissipate) is up, it crosses his path again. Earl takes this as a sign from Karma to do a list item where he stole a woman's cat.

comment
Failure Gambit: In an early episode, Earl's El Camino is impounded with the bulk of his lottery winnings in the glove compartment. To get it back, he tries to help Randy get back into high school football and then bet on the game. Randy plays, but his team unfortunately loses. Earl then wonders what he's going to do, until Randy drives up in the El Camino. It turns out that he had made a bet as well... against his own team.

Reckless Gun Usage: Chubby had a squirt gun full of vodka he used to top off patrons' drinks at his strip club, and an identical-looking real gun. He didn't learn from his mistake when he shot a drink with the wrong gun on-screen. You can all guess how he died off-screen.

Out-of-Context Eavesdropping: Happens during Earl's coma fantasy. Earl is the star of a 1950's style Dom Com in his head, and he is married to a friend's ex-girlfriend that Earl was attracted to. She is pregnant, and conversing with Joy (their next-door neighbor) about a really awesome guy. Earl thinks she's talking about a gigolo...it turns out she's referring to a doctor.

Artistic License – Law
 My Name Is Earl / int_8391b1c7
comment
Artistic License – Law: When Earl falsely confesses to Joy's crime. First of all, the fact that Joy's prints are mentioned as being also on the truck would mean she at the very least would be an accessory to the crime, the fact that she jumped bail and escaped to Mexico is also a major felony and her star witness deciding to suddenly confess at the very least would require a retrial to rule out Earl making a false confession. All-in-all, Joy still would have done some jail-time for her either being part of the crime or the felonies she committed while attempting to resist arrest. Ruby would have been pretty much required to not do anything about her crush on Earl, because he's the ex-husband of her client, creating a conflict of interests. Earl and Joy's marriage could have easily been annulled, because Earl was extremely drunk when it happened, too drunk to give proper consent to marriage (or anything else). For that matter, the officiant could (and in real life probably would) have used those grounds to refuse to perform the marriage in the first place.

"The Bounty Hunter" saw Earl trying to make things right with Jesse, the girl he was dating when he got drunk and married Joy; not helping matters was the fact that Jesse became a bounty hunter in order to get back at Joy after learning she had a warrent out for unpaid parking tickets. Towards the end of the episode, Joy comes clean and admits Earl didn't marry her by choice; she intentionally got him drunk so her child could have a father.

Where the Hell Is Springfield?
 My Name Is Earl / int_8504b817
comment
Where the Hell Is Springfield?: All we know about Camden is it's somewhere in the Deep South and is apparently in the Central Time Zone. One episode reveals the town formed its own faction in the Civil War to avoid taking either side (and was taken over almost immediately). Catalina's home country of "Guadelatucky" seems to have shades of Mexico (two episodes even lampshade it right in the title), but then Catalina herself says it's not Mexico, and Patty the Daytime Hooker puts it in Bolivia. (Unless she's talking about a different La Paz...)

Broken Pedestal: Earl's hero was astronaut Chaz Dalton who ran a space camp Earl went to as a kid. Years later, he found out the man who ran the camp wasn't really Chaz Dalton. Things get even Worse when he finds out that the real Chaz is a Jaded Washout and a Fake Ultimate Hero who only got to be an astronaut because his dad was funding NASA. He never even went into space. Rebuilt Pedestal: Eventually he realizes that the fake Chaz (Wayne) really does want to teach kids and his fake legacy inspires the real Chaz, they start running the camp together with Wayne as the public face and Chaz providing the equipment.

He tracks the guy (Christian Slater) down, and finds that he's living in a hippie commune outside of Camden, and thus doesn't want his air-conditioner or other items back. He teaches Earl about climate change...but also that it's going to be small changes that help prevent an Apocalypse How.

Posthumous Character
 My Name Is Earl / int_8b568cb7
comment
Posthumous Character: Josh, the guy Joy locked in the truck in the beginning of season 2, died from an unrelated accident. Since then, an episode revolved around Earl giving him a decent funeral, and he made a few more appearances, the latest one being in the penultimate episode. Ernie, the Crab Shack's original owner, vanished under unknown circumstances several years ago. Geraldo Rivera is able to piece together that he vanished during a blackout caused by someone hoisting the Central flag on the roof of the Shack (the small nation Camden tried to form during the Civil War when it refused to take sides), while he was trying to switch out tapes for the hidden camera in the ladies bathroom he used to generate exploitable content for his porn site business. The flagpole caught a power line when Darnell tried to remove it and caused a blackout. Eddie tripped, and fell down in the darkness. knocking him out cold at the worst possible time- right as he landed in a pool of fresh cement laid down to coat the bathroom floor, which he sank into, and it entombed him when it hardened. Since nobody ever figured out what happened to him all that time, he was in there so long it's almost assured he died- except his nose managed to stay above the surface, perhaps allowing him to breathe and stay alive until he finally kicked the bucket- unless his lungs had filled with cement. Everyone thought his nose was just an odd doorstop until then. And then Randy opts to instill us viewers with horror when everyone leaves the bathroom- he gives Ernie a Mercy Kill by clamping his nostrils shut while smiling and shushing him. If Ernie was still alive somehow, Randy's done something unspeakable.

Revisiting the Roots: Season Four comes across this way after a more wildly experimental Season Three that featured multiple plotlines that took Earl away from working on his list. While it is Denser and Wackier than the first two seasons (one episode dealing with multiple tornados passing through Camden), it becomes more episodic again as it focuses on the list and Earls clients.

In an act of Art Imitates Art, or something like it, the knife-throwing daughter is played by Chloe Grace Moretz, who went on to play Hit Girl in Kick-Ass.

This line was censored in the C4 airing, making it even more funny reading it here. The sequence in question came right after a bit when the guys question why Inside Spot needed a "To Be Continued", and Darnell explained that they didn't have enough episodes for a full season, and just split one episode into two (ironically, this was said in an episode from the longest season of the show).

Lousy Lovers Are Losers: Season 2 has a plot where Catalina gets into a Citizenship Marriage with Randy, and when he gives her a public Love Confession and says he wants to make their marriage real, she doesn't have the heart to humiliate him by rejecting him in public, even though she doesn't like him romantically. Joy convinces Catalina that the best way to "let him down gently" is to sleep with him, but give him sex so terrible that he'll never want her again. So Catalina makes herself as unattractive as possible by adding hair to her lips and armpits and rubbing fish, cheese, and onions over her arms and legs. It works and she manages to "wipe out two years of love with two hours of torture", but what she didn't expect is that he gave her the best sex of her life, leading to a Unrequited Love Switcheroo.

Broke Episode: "Number One" sees Earl being forced to give over his entire lottery winnings to Paul, the guy he stole $10 from the day he discovered karma, as he had itended to buy that same ticket with the money Earl had taken. This winds up causing Earl and Randy to get kicked out of the motel as a result, and it only causes the pair further strife as Earl finds he also needs to pay back the money they had already spent from those winnings. Paul winds up giving the money back after getting hit by a bus, and revealing to Earl that he already had his own run in with karma that same day.

Evil Counterpart: The Mexican versions of Earl and Randy in "South of the Border Part Uno". Mexican Earl even has his own list, except it has bad things he wants to do instead of make up for. The ones we see directly mirror items on Earl's list, like stealing a donkey from a one-legged woman (Earl stole a one-legged woman's car) and killing an old woman by forcing her to smoke (Earl saved an old woman by forcing her to quit smoking).

Foreshadowing: In "Stole Beer From a Golfer", Randy makes an offhand remark about a item on the list that pertains to a deaf personnote "Not the deaf woman, that'll take forever.". Joy's lawyer for Season 2's Story Arc happened to be deaf, who Earl doesn't meet until the end of the season. And, as fate would have it, Earl gets the hots for the woman and the two seem to get along like the perfect couple. Then Earl realizes the deaf lawyer is the same deaf person on his list, from whom he stole because she wouldn't hear him or Randy looting her place. When she discovers the truth, it's curtains for their relationship and she develops a grudge toward him.

Lost Love Montage: Randy has a character tic of playing Cyndi Lauper's "Time After Time" on a boombox after a woman rejects him or breaks up with him. This is depicted in an hilarious montage where he sings the song in a monotone voice. Also, when Earl and Randy are in Mexico, Randy hires a Mariachi band to play the song after he is rejected once again.

Overly Long Gag: During "Inside Spot" Part one, we see, through a slideshow, that Earl has never appeared in a picture with his eyes open, starting back to when he was a baby. Pointed out repeatedly in the DVD Commentary that making something longer than it really should be is part of the joke, like Joy playing Red Rover with senior citizens and spending 30 seconds on a lady trying to cross the gap with a walker.

Overly Long Hug: In one episode, Earl is trying to hide Joy (his ex-wife) from an ex girlfriend from even further back. Trying to hide Joy in an old camper trailer, they have to make a deal with a homeless guy for a pair of shoes and a hug "from the cute one." He ends up taking Joy's stilettos and Earl has to give him an uncomfortably long hug. After some time talking to each other, Earl and Joy manage to patch up their rocky post-marriage life and they hug each other. Joy starts to pull away, but Earl isn't quite finished yet, due to the last hug he had to give.

Megaphone Gag: When Earl steals a police car to go joyriding with Joy, they drive around heckling the residents of Canmore before pulling over Earl's ex-girlfriend. After she is stopped, Joy calls her a "slut" over the PA system and orders her to get out of the car and spread her legs. Defied in an episode where a police officer attempts to negotiate with a kidnapper who is holding a young boy hostage in a motel room using a megaphone. The boy's father shows up and grabs the megaphone, but he never gets a chance to speak with it as the negotiator immediately grabs it back and admonishes him. In another episode, Earl's ex-wife mounts a megaphone to the roof of her car and drives around undoing the positive accomplishments he has achieved thus far in the series. At one point, she abuses a troupe of circus freaks that Earl had previously helped overcome their insecurities.

Earl really did not like him as a person but stuck around to keep him alive. By the end of the episode Philo had gotten past his Death Seeker phase because he thought Earl and Randy were his friends. Neither Earl nor Randy liked him, but were touched that someone found their friendship to be something worth living for.

Halfway Plot Switch: At first, it seems like “Van Hickeyâ€�’s gonna be a simple Putting the Band Back Together plot where Earl has to make amends with Tom Sparks, the elderly lead singer of the band he once formed with Randy and Ralph, called “Phish Tahkoâ€�. You see, right before their first (and onlynote the others got drunk afterwards, and sold their instruments to get more beer) live performance at the Crab Shack, Ralph held a vote to kick him out for being too old, as the band was mainly formed to score chicks. And then when Ralph wants to immediately kick him out again, Tom points out he’s on the List... right above “Slept with Ralph’s Momâ€�note The guys scored some chicks, and spent the night at Ralph’s house. Earl’s intended girl blacked out, and the only other person awake was... well, guess.

"Number One" sees Earl learn that in stealing $10 from a guy, Paul, at a convenience store shortly before buying the lottery ticket, he actually wound up screwing the guy out of that same ticket, forcing him to decide to pay him back the full $100,000 (meaning he and Randy needed to earn back the money they already spent from it). Towards the end of the episode, the bus the two were one accidentally hits Paul, sending him to the hospital. It's there where Paul reveals to Earl what really happened that day: Paul was the one to run across Earl shortly after he got hit by "Old Lady Karma", and found the ticket. Instead of helping Earl, he ran away... and then got himself run over once the lady was convinced to go back. What's more, it turns out that same lady was on the bus. All of this goes to prove to Paul that Earl really deserved the ticket, and so gives him back the money.

Catchphrase: Earl and Darnell's "Hey Earl - Hey Crabman" routine and Joy's "Oh snap!" In the Christmas episode "Don't you judge me" is said so many times by Joy's mother Connie that it becomes her catchphrase. Joy's "Great googly moogly," as well, and her frequent use of the word "dummy" when addressing anyone. Both Earl and Randy vary the morning greeting "Wakey wakey hands off snakey" throughout the series.

Loophole Abuse: At one point, Joy enters a Mother/Daughter Beauty Contest. Apparently, it never states in the rules that both contestants have to be alive, so Joy pretends to enter with her mother's cremated remains(actually cigarette ashes).

Retcon: Darnell's Witness Protection backstory wasn't worked out until late in the first season, when they already had several visits from his extended family. Admitting the goof-up, Greg Garcia Hand Waved it by saying Darnell found some way to sneak his family into town. The fourth season Darnell also handwaves the extended family bit, saying his Grandma wasn't really his grandma.

Pink Is Erotic: Club Chubby is a strip club in Camden County that has Catalina under their employ as one of their best and most famous stripper. It's common to see pink lights (from neon signs, lampshades, and spotlights) during these scenes, even when Randy used the stripper pole (not dancing he was just feeling how hot it was and people treated him like a performing stripper).

Only a Lighter: Richard Chubby, the owner of Club Chubby, used to carry an automatic and an identical looking squirt gun filled with vodka that he used to use to freshen up patrons drink. There was more than one instance when he got the guns mixed up and shot a patron's glass. Chubby died some time later after doing vodka shots from the squirt gun, but accidentally using the real gun instead of the one with vodka in it.

"Groundhog Day" Loop
 My Name Is Earl / int_b5ac90ac
comment
"Groundhog Day" Loop: "Sweet Johnny". The title stuntman suffered so many head injuries "his brain can't make new memories", meaning he's been living the same day over and over since "Livin' A Vida Loca" was popular. The only thing that could convince him this was true was how big his old girlfriend's ass had gotten in ten years. Johnny even compares his situation to the Trope Namer at one point. The episode ends with Johnny Driven to Suicide rather than living this way, only for Earl to stop himnote or, rather, Joy, because of her gun. Earl realizes it would be better for Johnny if he didn't cross him off his list.

Hard Truth Aesop
 My Name Is Earl / int_bbc77bb5
comment
Hard Truth Aesop: In "Very Bad Things", Earl decides to atone by taking Joy's side in everything. Which leads to him; helping Joy get away with grand theft auto, kidnapping and assault. In the end; he decides to stop taking Joy's side and decides it would just be easier to just let the victim go than to keep chasing him, However, the man did remember Joy's identity and she ended up in jail. There are now 2 lessons in this: Atoning for something you did wrong won't always be worth it because your victim will just use your guilt as leverage for their own crimes. If you are committing a crime, never settle for maybe and follow it through to the end by tying up any loose ends. In "Sweet Johnny", Earl directs his attention to a stuntman called Sweet Johnny because he endangered Johnny's life so he can have an affair with Johnny's then-girlfriend, Sheila. Earl finds out Johnny has anterograde amnesia and has been reliving the same day over and over again after receiving brain damage. After stopping Johnny from committing suicide, Earl decides to leave Johnny on the list as a permanent reminder of how bad he can be. There are 2 lessons to this: There are some things you just can't atone for and you will have to make peace with your own guilt. You can make things worse by trying to fix it, just use your mistakes constructively and remember what you did wrong so you don't repeat it. In "Look Who's Coming Out Of Joy," Earl learns that he is not the father of Earl Jr and is ready to abandon Joy because he didn't want to take care of two kids that weren't his and a cheating wife. His father Carl, also looking to keep him from moving back in, coerces him to stay with her because when kids are in the picture, a reluctant but decent father is better than no father, and his anger with her shouldn't be taken out on them. Looking back, Earl considered it the one good thing he did before he found karma. A number of episodes show that while karma can be laser guided, it is not an absolute and there will be times he or someone else will do bad things and be seemingly rewarded for it. His life has suffered from strict adherence to karma and doing the right thing, and is sometimes rewarded while doing something bad. The third season explores it the most as Earl goes to prison and manipulates the system to get out, which motivates him to reject karma and return to his old ways. Eventually Randy, who was always more of a tagalong to the list, points out they were infinitely happier doing good things because it's the right thing and not because of fearing retribution.

The Last Dance

"The Magic Hour" sees Earl wanting to make things right with the parents of a Make-a-Wish child, Buddy, for having unknowingly taken away his wish of riding a horse in the 1998 New Years Day parade (by drunkenly stealing the horse the night before)... only to learn the doctor's misdiagnosed him, and he's still alive, as the doctors misdiagnosed him. Earl instead pivots, and helps Buddy put together his dream movie, a process that is hampered in part due to Buddy being a prima donna director, and storming off set repeatedly. By the time the movie is finished, and it's set to premiere, Buddy doesn't show up. Rather, his mom does. You see, Buddy repeatedly storming off wasn't because he was being a prima donna. He needed to get his medicine...

Incest Subtext
 My Name Is Earl / int_bdc453a0
comment
Incest Subtext: Surprisingly a lot, as for the youth show, where there is not even a obscene speech and nudity. Running Gag in one of the episodes is completely built on parodying this, when the characters discuss how embarrassing they are from the words "I love you" from their siblings. Catalina even mentions that one of her brothers took such words from her as a proposal of sex... Earl and Randy are good brothers and the motel room is small, but it's still weird that Randy pedicures Earl and knows what his nipples taste like. It is not surprising that other characters perceive this incorrectly more than 2-3 times. Earl and Randy sleep in the same bed. Their usual wake up routine includes Earl announcing to Randy some variation of "Wakey wakey, hands off snakey." In one episode Earl announces "Rise and shine... hands off mine!". And this is not to mention that in one episode of the second season, Earl mentions that "Randy went home alone, because I accidentally kissed him." One disturbing episode in the fourth season, when Joy begins to be jealous of her eldest little son, which frankly frightens Darnell and turns into frank attempts to become "desired for her own son." Fortunately, it was just an obsession because of the fear of losing him.

Ugly Guy, Hot Wife
 My Name Is Earl / int_bf74d357

Ugly Guy, Hot Wife: Played with in multiple instances. There was Randy and Catalina, whose marriage was purely for the green card. Randy did love her, but she considered them Just Friends until an Unrequited Love Switcheroo. Then there was the sadistic fast food manager, who managed to have a hot wife and a hot mistress on the side, which caused Earl some doubts about how karma works. Jason Lee sure isn't unattractive, but Earl is portrayed as a slob, wearing the same clothes for weeks on end, his hair always a mess and that enormous mustache. Still, he's picked up several very attractive women, including marrying Joy and Billie. Inverted with Frank and Billie's cousin, and Earl's Fourth-Date Marriage to Ralph's mother, especially when she leaves him for the elderly lead singer of Phish Tahko.

Retro Universe: Camden is stuck in the 80's with a dash of early 90's. Modern technology is shown as being a very foreign object to most people. Earl bumped a computer mouse while it was on a fish tank screensaver and he was visibly confused over what happened. In general, tape recorders are on large spools, TVs are never flat-screen or hi-def, very few people have cell phones (cordless phones have metal extendable antennas) and there is a lot of flannel.

Win Your Freedom: A item of the third season: the more deeds Earl did for the warden, the more time he got knocked off his sentence. It even applies to "Early Release", despite the warden shredding Earl's certificates and refusing to let him leave early. All it took was Darnell crashing into the warden's office, and unintentionally giving Earl some blackmail material.

Good Behavior Points: In the prison arc that comprises the first 12 episodes of Season 3, Earl (who took the blame for a crime his ex-wife Joy committed) acts like a model prisoner and does many things to turn the prison into less of a hellhole. For each act, the incompetent warden gifts Earl a certificate that takes some time off from his two-year sentence. The arc climaxes when the warden, out of fear of losing the benefits he reaped from taking credit for Earl's actions, shreds all of the certificates, forcing Earl to seek a different way to clear his name.

And the real kicker here? Frank wakes up from a nap in the prisoner van when Randy tells him they've stopped for ice cream and warns him it's a hell of a mistake. When Randy runs off to keep his prisoners from trying to make a run for it he discovers they really only got ice cream, didn't try to ditch him, and chastise him for not trusting them, but then come to realize it was a wasted opportunity and never crossed their minds. Unfortunately, Randy repeated his mistake by leaving Frank unsupervised with the van unlocked- and he jumped on the chance to escape.

Shout-Out: CSI: Miami, in the form of the Memetic Mutation joke regarding Horatio Caine's "witty comment, sunglasses, YEAHHHHHH". 24 was parodied in "My Name Is Alias". The local convenience store is the Quick Stop. Also something of an Actor Allusion, given that both Lee and Suplee have appeared in View Askew films. During the Season 2 episode "The Trial," Dodge and Earl Jr. are running around popping firecrackers with "Sister Christian" playing in the background.

Opening Shout-Out: In "Buried Treasure" Randy, Joy, and Darnell narrate to the audience their versions of what happened to the stolen silverware. These are started with a parody of the opening credits ending with the logo My Name is Randy/My Name is Joy/My Name is Crabman. The Stinger features a librarian getting in on the joke:

Girls with Moustaches: In junior high, Earl made fun of a girl with a mustache, so now she's on his list. He tracks her down and discovers she's got a full beard and is in a carnival freakshow as "The Bearded Woman". He convinces her (and the other freaks) to quit the freak tour and follow their dreams - in her case, being a realtor.

Idle Rich
 My Name Is Earl / int_deea2fb5
comment
Little Chubby turns out to be one. After Earl kicked him in the nuts, the pain made him take a walk to take his mind off of it. Since LC was an Idle Rich, that "walk" was implied to go around the world. His walk made him realize Good Feels Good, and came back to take over the family business with this philosophy. Then when he and Earl went to the doctors, it turned out the Heel–Face Turn was because Earl's kick caused his body to stop producing testosterone. When this was fixed, Little Chubby instantly went back to being a Jerkass. Before Little Chubby could get revenge for the Groin Attack, Earl reminded him that he didn't want to die being hated, so he gave himself a Groin Attack so he could go back to being nice. But in Little Chubby's next appearance, an elderly stripper he hired breaking her back made him realize he couldn't run the business being a pushover, so he had a transplant to receive new male parts so he could go back to being a jerk (the donor being a bull).

Animal Motifs: Wally Panzer is associated with butterflies. Wally was one of Earl's many victims in his youth due to his love of butterflies, Wally was emasculated and bullied until Earl was expelled. Wally's sensitive side began to erode when he accidentally crushed a butterfly when Earl pushed him. As an adult Wally is obsessed with manliness and refuses to compete in Mr Camden because it required him to shave off his body hair, oil his body, tan and wear small underwear which he deemed as unmanly. When Wally finally makes his peace with Earl after Earl is trapped in a net. He competes in the contest and releases a Kaleidoscope of butterflies into the audience. Signifying the return of his sensitive side, something that Earl comments on in his final monologue.

Poverty Porn
 My Name Is Earl / int_e3544fdf
comment
Poverty Porn: Earl recalls that back when he and Joy were still married (before he began working on The List), they watched a commercial like this for some organization helping children in Africa, which inspired them to start a Fake Charity. Earl gave up on it after a while, but Joy kept it up, even long after she divorced Earl and married Darnell. She sent a picture to her primary "donor" of a boy named "Mbungo," which was really just a picture of Earl Jr. and a fly. She also got some of the other trailer park women in on her scam, with each of them invoking this trope in their own ways for their fake charity scams. After a series of disasters ensues, these women are left in dire straits for real, in ways very similar to what they had faked photos of and lied about. The old man that they were scamming wrote them checks anyway, saying how it felt good to give, and to forgive.

Flanderization
 My Name Is Earl / int_e5e6640b
comment
Flanderization: Camden County started as a small southern town with a few cartoonish quirks and gradually got more absurd. They had their own faction in the civil war (the Central) which lasted about half an hour and the Camdenites split off from the Amish because the latter were too accepting of new technology like the wheel and pitchforks. One episode addresses how this trope can come into play in reality. After his mistreatment of a "witch lady" (played by Betty White) because of her appearance, she became a vindictive witch. Earl realized that it was just too easy for people to accept how others view them and start playing up to the role. By the episodes end, Joy resolved to be nicer and less of a bitch, Randy got a Word-A-Day calendar and Earl decided to not be so obsessed with his list, being known as the "karma freak." Also, while Randy was always a bit slow, by season 3, he's got full-blown mental retardation. (By season 4, however, he's back to his usual self: still slow, but not mentally-handicapped.)

Spotting the Thread: Ususally, when Earl gives his exposition about why a person wound up on his list, the flashback ends at the incident in question. But in "Van Hickey", where we learn Earl had kicked out Tom, a member of the band he started with Randy and Ralph, for being too old, the flashback continues past that and goes into the night of their only performance, where they wound up spending the night with some chicks at Ralph's mom's house. That's because two list items occured that day: Tom getting kicked out, and Earl sleeping with Ralph's mom.

List of Transgressions: The main drive of the show, Earl starts writing in the first episode a laundry list of every bad thing he's ever done, knowing he will somehow have to make it right. The list has well over 200 items and will frequently find more of them added as fixing one bad thing leads to discovering a consequence he hadn't been aware up to this point but is nonetheless directly responsible. The easy to fix items are usually the ones that reveal a much more complex consequence that require an entire episode to make right.

It's A Small Net After All
 My Name Is Earl / int_f09d379
comment
It's A Small Net After All: In the second season the witness in Joy's case is killed in a bizarre accident. They hold a funeral for him and are saddened when nobody shows up, not even his neighbor. They later do some investigating and discover he had a strong presence on the internet. One of the people he knew online was a fellow player in an online game... the aforementioned neighbor.

The Alleged Car
 My Name Is Earl / int_f237981e
comment
The Alleged Car: Earl's "perfectly good 1973 El Camino with a 1977 door and a 1987 Camaro transmission." It won't go over 40 miles per hour ever since Randy put gum in the gas tank. Also, the driver has to keep one foot over a hole in the floor in order to prevent the car from filling with exhaust. This turns out to be a particularly useful anti-theft device on at least one occasion.

And then Randy opts to instill us viewers with horror when everyone leaves the bathroom- he gives Ernie a Mercy Kill by clamping his nostrils shut while smiling and shushing him. If Ernie was still alive somehow, Randy's done something unspeakable.

Earn Your Happy Ending: Earl's belief in this is what motivates him throughout the show. It works for the most part, but there are more than a few bumps in the road.

Murder Is the Best Solution
 My Name Is Earl / int_f6b30338
comment
Murder Is the Best Solution: The Crazy Witch Lady thinks killing people is the best way to deal with all the idiots in Camden that tormented her over the years. Also Darnell agrees that killing Catalina is the best way to hide that Joy tried to drunkenly run her over with a mower in an effort to prevent Joy getting her third strike offense.

Dude, Where's My Respect?
 My Name Is Earl / int_f818b637
comment
Dude, Where's My Respect?: At his birthday party a year into his quest to do good things, people still only talk about the stuff Earl still needs to make up for instead of giving him the pat on his back he hoped for. Turns out the party was just a prank and there is a real one waiting for him at home, where everyone gives him genuine praise and each person crosses off a list item related to themselves as a present.

Birthday Episode
 My Name Is Earl / int_f8e52439
comment
Birthday Episode: During the Birthday Episode, Earl had a birthday party and all anyone can talk about is how much bad stuff he used to do, rather than all the good stuff he's doing now. It turns out it's all a big Practical Joke, and as birthday presents everyone crosses something off of Earl's list that he had done to them, so he doesn't have to make it up to them.

Laser Sight: On a sniper rifle. A boy who Earl crosses off his list shows up at the motel asking to live with Earl since Earl was nice to him and his parents aren't. When Earl tells him he can't, the boy pretends to have been kidnapped and a SWAT team arrives at the motel. During the standoff, Randy notices a red dot on Earl's back, prompting him to drop to cover.

Running Gag
 My Name Is Earl / int_f9f2c33
comment
Running Gag: Earl is always in mid-blink when getting his picture taken. It was averted when Earl and Randy went to retrieve Catalina from South America and Earl had a portrait painted of him with a local couple; apparently the art department was going to have Earl with his eyes closed but Greg Garcia said it wouldn't make any sense. The old lady hitting a character with a car (or a bus) as a turning point where they stop being a Jerkass and start to be better people. Number 86: Stole a car from a one-legged girl. Earl tries to reconcile with Didi multiple times, only for her to go bonkers and try to hurt/kill him on sight before he could explain his actions (her triple amputee boyfriend even helping a time or two). However...

Meta Casting

Meta Casting: Most of the more unusual recurring actors on the show are actually very much like their characters. Didi, the one legged girl hopping around, is played by an actress who only has one leg. Ruby Whitlow, Joy's deaf attorney, is played by well-known deaf actress Marlee Matlin. Norm MacDonald gets one as Little Chubby: Chubby was played by Burt Reynolds, whom MacDonald played on Saturday Night Live

Comically Missing the Point: In the Christmas Episode, Earl remembers how he never bought any good Christmas gifts for his ex-wife. He flashes back to the Christmases they had when they were married, and one in particular involved Convenience Store Gift Shopping. He had bought her some condoms, to which she angrily responded, "How are these for me?! " His response?

Beware the Nice Ones: Randy. They've shown on various occasions that he is unconventionally strong and in the fourth season (hyped up on Shark Adrenaline) he goes toe to toe and actually takes down the freakishly big guy who spent all his time working out and refusing to be a "pansy" (he was a list item for Earl).

Crisis of Faith
 My Name Is Earl / int_fd86da63
comment
Crisis of Faith: Sister Millie has one of these when she finds out it wasn't God's voice she was hearing, but Earl's. Earl also temporarily loses his faith in Karma after he gets out of prison (ironically for doing something bad), life on the outside is pretty rough since no one wants to hire an ex-con, and it's been years since he started the list but he hasn't had any real reward for doing good things like he wanted. (Meanwhile, his old friend Ralph has been posing as a little old lady's deceased husband and living it up.)

Depending on the Writer
 My Name Is Earl / int_fdc4fab4
comment
Depending on the Writer: How civil Joy and Earl are to each other tends to vary, mostly in later seasons (The first season was mostly violent). Later seasons it tended to be justified because of them being Vitriolic Best Buds, but one example in the fourth season was the most blatant. Randy and Joy actually discovered they had a childhood summer romance (they never knew each others real name at the time). In a nostalgic mood they decided to share a kiss they never actually got that summer. The next episode had Randy being bullied by a mean-spirited Joy.

Pointed out repeatedly in the DVD Commentary that making something longer than it really should be is part of the joke, like Joy playing Red Rover with senior citizens and spending 30 seconds on a lady trying to cross the gap with a walker.
