Poor Gus
In real life Gus would be kind of a tragic character if you think about it. He can bring things to cases but often gets the short end of the stick in life, even though he's somewhat successful.
After watching psych for the 5th time, I finally realized.. they make Gus such a creepy loser lol. I mean I kind of always knew but it's a bit sad. He's hilarious in his antics and the absurd faces he makes, and of course has the super sniffer and safe cracking knowledge, but ultimately if you take away his random trivia knowledge, IRL he is a guy who was super smart (and def a bit autismo) but ended up just like the guy who was murdered. He always gets caught up in whatever Shawn is doing. We do see some of his nerd hobbies but without Shawn he would be pretty lost in his dead end job. Just interesting to think what these characters would be IRL.
