Ok, if you are following a little this site, you´ll already know Psych is by far one of our favourite shows on TV right now; and we are giving it quite some coverage.
Well, now it´s time to do a list of the nicknames and aliases that Gus and Shawn have on the episodes of the show.
As you fans all know, Shawn usually introduces Burton “Gus” Guster by a different name each time, and sometimes he even changes his own name to an alias or nickname.
And for all of those who asked… I did the complete List of Gus Don´t Be Quotes and the Complete List of I´ve Heard it Both Ways!
Recently we had the chance to participate in an interview with Psych Stars Dule Hill and James Roday, and they talked about Aliases and Nicknames:
Dule Hill: For myself it’s always been the one I think from Season 1, which may have been the first or second episode, where he called me Gus “Silly-Pants” Jackson. You know, I – because when he first threw that out it kind of caught me off guard first of all because I believe that was one that was just off the top of his head. And it cracked me up. I just thought it was a hilarious thing. And, you know, we’re big fans of Stoney Jackson over here Stoney and the Silly-Pants, you know.
James Roday: …kicked it all off. So I think it’s always going to be special for us since everything sort of sprang from that.
They definitely come in the script now but any time we can top what’s there, we don’t hesitate. Everyone’s in on the fun now.

What did you think of this list of Shawn and Gus´alias and nicknames on Psych? Which ine is your favourite?
Remember to follow me on Twitter for more Scoop on Psych.
PS: There´s also when in Meat is Murder but Murder is also murder episode, Shawn tells Gus he can sign as: Don Cheadle, D´brickashaw Fillington or Delroy Lindo. Not sure if it counts as nickname, but it´s listed here too just in case.
PS2: In S02E11 – There´s Something about Mira, Shawn says: “Just call me the Suck Stopper” – he pauses and adds –
“Scratch that, don’t… don’t ever call me that.”
PS3: You can also see the complete List of Pop References in Psych season one quotes.
PS4: I also completed the list of pop references in Psych season two quotes.
PS5: I also completed the list of pop references in Psych season three quotes.
Agreed… that´s exactly why I did it, and also, so I can comeback to this post whenever I need to remember one.
You left out Santonio Holmes for Gus.
It was just besides John Jacob Jingley-Schmidt.
They are so many it´s easy to get lost…
And I´ll try and update it each time… I can give you a Twin Peaks Episode Spoiler Alias: Lodge Blackman

Love the list! Does anyone have, or are you in the process of compiling a list of, “Gus don’t be a….”‘s? Like one of my faves, “Gus, don’t be exactly one 1/2 of an 11lb black forest ham” that would be awesome!
Great idea! I could start doing it.
Also all the things Shawn heard both ways
Thanks for posting these, I’d been looking for a compilation for a long time. Part of the fun of each Psych episode is waiting to see what Gus “names” Shawn will use.

You should make a list of “Gus, don’t be a…” That would be funny. My favorite is “Gus don’t be a rabid porcupine”
Shawn was Lenny for a while in 65 million years
I think you left out Jazz-Hands for Gus

You forgot MC Clap Yo Handz .
For Gus.
Rasmi, its up there.
They are so much that it´s easy to get lost.
I’m sure the spellings are approximate, but I’m guessing the spelling of “Ghee Buttersnaps” should actually be “Guy Buttersnaps”, ghee being the French pronounciation of that name. There might be other spellings you want to reconsider as well, along this same line.

Actually. Lenny is the first I have listed for shawn
Season 2 episode 16 Shawn calls Lassiter “Carly Town” right before his reveal at the end.
“MC ClapYoHandz” is the best one! In the episode when Shawn intoduced Gus as such, Gus started clapping a rhythm. Hilarious!
