One of my fav Psych (2006) gags is when Henry will just be vibin, living his best life, and then BOOM there is Shawn Being Shawn.
Enjoying the morning news? Surprise! Yes thatโs your idiot son now running for mayor. Are you just trying to enjoy your favourite Spanish drama? BOOM how about Shawn dressed as FedEx driver enters on stage left.
Psych โ 7.03: Lassie Jerky
ok one of psychs funniest meta gags is how a popular media property will exist & be referenced regularly in universe but when the actors from that property show up as guest stars in the show theres NO acknowledgement of it. shawn knows every brat pack movie half by heart but when he meets ally sheedy the fake serial killer he never once comments on how similar she looks to ally sheedy the actress. there are like 20 karate kid AND my cousin vinny references including a literal picture of ralph macchio in that one scene but no one notices that officer conforth Is Literally The Same Guy. shawn and gus are lowkey genuine star trek nerds and spend a whole episode gaslighting Real Life George Takei but when william shatner shows up in the flesh hes just juliets loser dad. not even a passing "hey, you look familiar" joke. its SO funny.
I don't think people appreciate how ridiculously attractive Shawn Spencer can be even though it was so CLEARLY established from the first few episodes, him matching all the previous bullet holes during target practice? The insanely quick math in the kidnapping episode where he calculated how much money the bag held? Y'all should've known from the pilot that he's irresistible. If I were the waitress hooking up with him when he just casually solved a robbery because he accidentally turned on the TV? I'd never let that man out of my sights.
