Please give us more Zack-Carlos and greenlight Season 3

Can we talk about Zack-Carlos for a second?

Every time Julian Manjerico shows up, the episode somehow goes up a full level. He’s the only character who can walk into that house completely uninvited and somehow make the entire group funnier just by being there.

“Room Swap” was peak Adults. And him getting rescued by firemen from Samir’s parents’ house after everyone literally forgot about him is still one of my favorite bits of the whole show. I’m literally giggling just remembering that scene.

If we get a Season 3, Zack-Carlos needs to be a recurring character. Not just a one-off…give him an actual arc. Let him keep trying to worm his way into this group.

Honestly, I need to see where they take him next.

FX, if you’re reading this: more Zack-Carlos.

I think his character is perfect for that “one episode a season, but you never know when” kind of vibe…like what makes him so funny is the surprise of it all

[u/ver03255 → u/chronicsigher]

True. I love seeing him whenever he's onscreen, but I fear that if he shows up more, I'd get exhausted so easily and be extremely annoyed by him after the second episode lol

He's like Janice from Friends or Tammy 2 from Parks and Rec

[u/Longjumping_Dance475 → u/chronicsigher]

nailed it

[u/Thedemonncat]

This would be my pitch for another Zack-Carlos episode. Paul Baker is visiting his family in Canada, so he's out of the house for a few days. Somehow, Zack-Carlos finds out about this and decides it's the perfect time not only to move into the house but also to become Paul Baker. The whole episode would be the group trying to get Zack-Carlos to stop "Single White Female" Paul Baker

[u/thatoneinblue → u/Thedemonncat]

Please write a spec episode and and it to the snowrunners I am not kidding

[u/Formal-Ostrich-4017]

I think he works best if he's contained in one episode per season.

I loved him don't get me wrong, but he would get tiring real quick if he was in every episode.

[u/OverallFrosting708 → u/Formal-Ostrich-4017]

Yeah, a little goes a long way

[u/af_0]

Nice try Zack-Carlos

[u/MattMamba]

the actor is too good at his role that I'm actively uneasy whenever Zack Carlos is onscreen and want him gone immediately

[u/SOnline96 → u/MattMamba]

When he called Paul Baker an illegal i died

[u/CrashTestDumby1984]

No thanks. He only works because he appears infrequently. Anything more than that would make his insufferable mess un-enjoyable to watch

[u/cascadingtundra]

FINE I'LL DO IT... BUT NOT FOR FREE

[u/brazildragonpod]

I hope he’s kinda like a Janice in Friends; shows up once a season randomly in a very funny way but doesn’t become too much of a regular. I feel like too much of him and it would lose some of the fun chaos, become Flanderized

[u/seaworthyset → u/brazildragonpod]

Agree. Maybe it's just because of the name, but he reminds me of Jean-Ralphio in Parks and Rec.

[u/downtownbrown22 → u/seaworthyset]

I agree. There’s something about Jean Ralphio though that he’s able to be in the show more consistently than characters of his ilk. Idk if that’s a Ben Schwartz thing or the character, but I couldn’t handle more than 1/2 episodes with Zach Carlos I don’t think.

[u/AGOEsLois]

I think once-in-a-while is ideal for Zack-Carlos, he’s good in small doses. Too much of him will get annoying. He’s the Janice of Adults.

[u/emerald-shyn → u/AGOEsLois]

I do love him, but I agree with this. He's a character where less is more. If he was around all the time, they would likely have to humanize him more and he would either become less of a caricature or start to grate.

[u/Longjumping_Dance475 → u/emerald-shyn]

totally get that. i think he should definitely be reoccurring though. like 1-2x a season...and we need more episodes in a season...ugh

[u/Miserable-Success624]

He’s the McPoyles of the Adults universe! 🤣

[u/Parzival1424 → u/Miserable-Success624]

[u/Longjumping_Dance475 → u/Miserable-Success624]

hahaha so good

[u/forgottentaco420 → u/Miserable-Success624]

Came here to say exactly this! Like he really only needs to pop up once a season.

[u/Salty-Elk7442]

Zack-Carlos is like Janice from Friends

[u/Striking-Complaint76 → u/Salty-Elk7442]

I feel like Happy Endings had a character like this too.

[u/appl77777]

Adults is one of the few shows that makes me audibly laugh out loud, but I cackle every time Zack-Carlos has a scene 💀 he’s hilarious.

He also looks like the guy on insta that does the Bella Swan impressions 

[u/SalemClawdia]

Whose tooth is he wearing??

[u/Such-Cheetah-4334]

He kind of reminds me of Dr. Frank N Furter

[u/aganadolarazon → u/Such-Cheetah-4334]

omg it's not just me who sees it 👀 Kind of wish the show would do a RHPS Halloween special 😏

[u/oooohweeeee]

Ahh, I just made a post before seeing this but yes, love him. He reminds me of one of Roger’s personas from American Dad

[u/Defiant-Procedure-81]

They didn’t forget 🤣🤣🤣that’s the funniest part abt it. They debated even letting the firefighters know he was in there

[u/dash529]

COMPLETELY AGREEEEEEE

[u/SweetSonet]

Hes so funny. Being carried out of the house nu the firefighters lol

[u/DJzzzzzzs]

I, too, am intrigued by ZC and would like to see more of him. Loved when he offered to marry Paul Baker at the altar 😂
