Which character would most likely to be a serial killer - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Not actor, but character.

I have been watching Mindhunter and just naturally thought of those on LITB.

Gilbert . The polite " very normal " ordinary one nobody would suspect !

Eddie could be one. He really snuggles up to people when he wants something from an individual. I think he might be a psychopath at times.

Beaver in the last two seasons. He keeps making the same mistakes over and over. But I think he has an incredible mean streak that could be considered antisocial. As others have pointed out, they really should have toned down his anti-girls attitude during his 7th and 8th grade years. Calling nearly every girl creepy is not normal, but maybe he was infatuated with some of his classmates. I need to pay better attention while watching.

Oh gosh Eddie, no doubt about that!!!! He was a psycopath from day 1!!!

Tankeryanker · 02-24-2023, 03:14 PM

I just finished season 1.
Mothers had a lot to do with their boys becoming serial killers.

I am going to have to give June the fish eye for a while. She did force the boys to do things they did not want to do. She told Ward where to get off more than once, undermining his authority.

Another vote for Gilbert. He's a sociopath at 10-12 and I could see him morphing into a full blown psychopath in adulthood.

Whoever it is it'd be funny June seeing it first sitting on the couch alone reading the evening paper. "Ward!... Ward!... Ward!" (each louder).

Eddie "is your old man upset squirt?"

Mrs Mondello "Oh my!... And your father is in Cincinnati!"

Mrs Landers "Class ...what have we learned from this?"

Whitey "Do a better job at hiding the bodies."

Gilbert is a junior version of Eddie--Eddie lite. I could see it with both of them.

Torgo · 03-01-2023, 12:21 PM

Whitey. Just look at him when he smiles.

I could picture him talking Beaver into climbing in the soup bowl knowing full well it was full of acid.

Got to say some of the CUNNING Girls over the years have had me wondering !

Box Office Attraction - no doubt !

MISST3 · 03-08-2023, 11:23 AM

Hands Down , it was Mr. Mundello. He was living a another life in Cincinnati!

ThisLittlePiggy · 03-08-2023, 05:20 PM

My first instinct is to say Gilbert. The guy is creepy. Whitey as well. But maybe Lumpy because he got sick and tired of his Daddy calling him Clarence and he snapped.

Gilbert Bates and Ted Bundy: Separated at birth?

Beaver - the way he said "girls" was creepy. I don't know if Wally would have covered for him. Doubt it.
