shawn spencer is genuinely so insanely smart that he could be an evil millionaire. he could win any poker game he joins. he could infiltrate (and destroy) world governments. he could be successful at almost any job he put 1% effort into. he could be in/famous and destructive. instead he runs around santa barbara california pretending to be psychic with his life partner gus solving crimes and creating minor chaos and I love that for him
Psych (2006) really is just "Hi, we're detectives with the police department, and here's this weird guy who follows us around. No we can't stop him. We like him. Also here's his best friend. We can't stop him either. We tried."
psych is such a good take on a modern detective bc most detectives r like grrrr 😡 I’m an uptight grumpy goose who the world has worn down 😡 I’ve seen more terrible things than u can even imagine 😡 don’t insult my intelligence with your blathering. and shawn spencer, a bisexual adhd whirlwind w daddy issues, is like ‘ew a dead body. gross! let me put on a silly disguise and flirt with the suspects. maybe do a dance. by the way it was the nanny I knew that like ten hours ago but needed to dramatize the moment for the bit’

“i can see why you come out here to eat. it’s beautiful. the sound of the seagulls. the smell of the ocean. the salt air.”
“hm. i never noticed.”
Shawn and Gus happy dances
Say what you will about Shawn and Gus but I can’t imagine another duo that matched each others freak like they did.
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 that’s 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.
