Psych is a great fun show, and more so the chemistry and relationship between Shawn and Gus. And all those little fights they have, when Shawn says “Gus Don´t Be” and adds a crazy phrase most of the time. Well, I decided to watch all the episodes again (It´s not that hard of a job I might add), and find every time Shawn says “Gus Don´t Be”, there are even times when other characters say “don´t be”s.This list of Gus Don´t Be comes to join all of those pieces about Psych I´ve done like the complete list of Shawn, Gus, Lassiter, Jules, Henry, Chief Vick, Woody and McNab aliases and nicknames and other stuff like the pop references from Psych. (Update) I also completed the full list of “I´ve heard it both ways” .
Without further ado, the complete list of “Gus Don´t Be”s.

Hi, I advise you next time to download all subtitles of the show (for example from addic7ed.com) and do all full text search in the subtitle-files. That will save you much time because you don’t have to look the whole episodes again to find the quotes
You missed S01E14- Poker? I Barely Know Her Shawn: Gus don’t be a gooey chocolate chip cookie
For S04E07 High Top Fade Out, you have “Don’t be the American adaptation of the American Gus” where it should be “the American adaptation of the British Gus”. Also, Ryn is correct: you missed the “gooey chocolate-chip cookie” one.
Oh sorry, didn’t see you’d added it in. Never mind about the “gooey chocolate-chip cookie” one.
So it was good except for all the random quotes that weren’t “Gus don’t be a…”
My personal favorite Gus, Don’t Be A is missing from this list. I believe it’s Season 4 – “In Plain Fright”: Gus, don’t be the only black lead on a major network.
