Someone who is most likely exhausted. Exhausted from all the different pop culture references they have to keep
track of with their name. Most Charlies are 100 years old, but for the few who still are sentient enough to use the
internet, they have been through a lot in the last 10 years.
Every Charlie under 20 has at some point had their
boss say “Charles in charge!” Or “Sorry Charlie!”, only to follow it up with “you’
re probably too young to get the reference!” But all Charlies do. Because every employer/authority figure in their entire
life has gone through the same pattern, recognizing quotes from old commercials, and then recognizing how old they are.
All Charlies remember the
period from 2007-2009 when people would continuously tell them that “we’re on a bridge” or “it’s a leoplurodon”, only for that to be replaced with the 2009-2011 fad of asking to bite their
finger in the worst Tiny
Tim impression possible. Every
time Charlie’s name is mentioned, both of these videos are patronizingly introduced to Charlie as if Charlie has never seen or heard of it.
These events have made all Charlies have a strong bond due to their universal experience, and it is very common for Charlies to have the exact same stories about how people interact with their name. As bearers of the original
meme-name, this makes Charlies more empathetic towards other people who have had their name borrowed, such as Daniel, and to a lesser extend people actually named
Karen.
