We all know and love the hit Disney Channel Original Series "Good Luck Charlie" where we see a family and their baby grow before our very eyes through the video diaries of the older sister and main character Teddy. I happened to stumble upon a one hour video of every single video diary throughout the tv show and noticed that a majority of the advice is either useless or just plain dumb. So here you go, a list of not so great advice that was given to Charlie.
"Oh, and I want to recommend that you make the tree house no boys allowed especially if that boy weighs as much as daddy because if you do let him up there well...good luck Charlie."
This advice is not only a sexist comment on Teddy's behalf, but she is also roasting her father by making fun of his weight. This little tidbit of info really has no use either except to create a good punchline.
“That’s our mom. From cool to embarrassing just like that. Good luck Charlie”
I personally thought that these video diaries were supposed to be a way to sign off the day on a positive note and explain the moral of the story or the lesson of the day. Instead, we are left with a generally known fact that moms are embarrassing at one point in our lives.
“What a day. You almost got us arrested, we had an awesome time at spencer’s party, and we totally trashed a store, but amazingly mom and dad never found out so I think we got away with it.” *mother comes in and confronts her about problem “If I go down, I am taking you with me. Good luck Charlie”
Wow. The ideas of the destruction of property, getting arrested, and taking a 9-month old baby to a High School party are being laughed at by the audience in the background. We also see in this diary that she is teaching Charlie to keep secrets from their parents. A fantastic lesson Teddy. Finally, she threatens her sister that if she gets in trouble then Charlie should also get in trouble?? Charlie is a baby and had no idea what was going on.
“If your brother Gabe goes to give you a hug well...good luck Charlie. “
Now she is encouraging her sister to not show love and affection to her siblings.
Real mature Teddy.
“If you walk home from the park dressed like a giant chicken you will be chased by a dog...good luck Charlie.”
I just did the math and there is a 1 out of 0 chance that Charlie will ever be dressed as a giant chicken. This useless information is honestly a waste of brain cells and SD card space on her camera.
Before I quote this last one I actually want to explain that I thought this one sounded promising by the way it started, but then quickly led to a disaster.
“Well Charlie, big life lesson today. See when someone says they have a house on the lake they might mean that they have a house on the lake. Good luck Charlie.”
Teddy is simply emphasizing the point that a lake house is really a lake house, but she really throws Charlie and the audience for a loop with her preface. Learn to give some real lessons Teddy.
I believe the best way to wrap this article up is for me to give some advice to Charlie myself.
Hi, Charlie, it’s Hunter here, I just have a little advice to give you. If you ever take any of these lessons seriously that your sister has taught you well...good luck Charlie.
