The title of the show comes from Robert’s frustrations at how much Ray gets away with.

“Everybody loves Raymond,” he sighs.

Instead, he’s the butt of jokes, a guy made fun of for his quirks.

It’s no wonder why he’s so weird and filled with self-doubt.

No one born into that family could come out of the experience unscathed.

It’s not just his upbringing in adysfunctional familythat gave him the short end of the stick.

Robert never gives up.

you’re free to see a great dad in the making.

It’s incredibly harsh, but it makes us love Robert more.

Everybody Loves Raymond

Romano starred as the titular character in the comedy series for almost a decade.

He adores Amy, treating her like a queen and not a burden.

Whenever he messes up with her, it’s because he doesn’t think he’s good enough.

He’d actually be pretty unlikable if he was this bummer of a good guy who never messed up.

He couldn’t be selfless, even on Christmas.

While it’s an ugly look, we still understand it.

Timmy then reminds Marie about how she once accidentally left Robert behind on a family vacation.

Marie gets angry, telling Timmy that they’re a good family.

“As long as everybody’s eatin', everybody’s happy,” Timmy says.

“Just ask your husband, burp and slurp.”

Timmy then hits on Debra, before getting to the root of the problem.

No one cares."

The live studio audience stops laughing for a moment to give Robert an “aww.

“Robert is standing up for himselffor once.

It’s the perfect example of why he’s the best character.

It’s why everybody loves Robert.
