Release the Drone!

70% of the budget went to 3d mapping every single restraunt

This became a running joke with my friends and I. Every time we would see each other we would say "Charles Stiles mystery diners". This went on for probably 2 months. I went to work one day after the 2 months and I was meeting the new CFO of the company I work at and I accidentally introduced myself "Charles Stiles mystery diners". This was the most horrific moment I've had in my professional career. Ralph, I blame this on you.

My favourite episode of ‘Mystery Diners’ is the one where an employee is taking live lobsters from the lobster tank and freeing them in the ocean. The climax is Charles and some people chasing this man holding a live lobster across a beach. Truly the pinnacle of modern television.

I pass by Cheesies every day on my way to work and I always feel like I’m passing a sacred location

"Hey Charles, how are you?" "Charles Stiles, Mystery Diners" It's like an Oblivion conversation

I'm Doug Dimmadome, owner of the Dimmsdale Dimmadome, and closeted homosexual.

2 cameras in the main hall 4 cameras in the kitchens 32 cameras in the womens bathroom 3 cameras in the parking lot

"Sarah why are you crying" *pans to girl who is clearly not crying*

Ever seen the episode where a militant vegan employee steals the live lobsters, and after he's caught and fired, they show the police running after him when he attempts to free the lobsters back in the ocean? Boy, that sure was... it sure was.

*TWENTY THREE CAMERAS HAVE BEEN SET UP IN THE GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICH*

The rewatchability here is unparalleled

They say Jesus died for all your sins, but he would never die for someone who cheats on the Cheesy’s Challenge.

*At Charles birth Mom: welcome to the world baby Charles Charles: CHARLES STILES, MYSTERY DINNERS

"I'm Ralphthemoviemaker, world renowned film critic and closeted homosexual" "Destiny, if you're watching this, hit me up" WHICH IS IT RALPH??

In an alternate reality, Destiny hits Ralph up, laughs at his jokes, and they end up getting married. Ralph and Charles are now family and a Mystery Diners reboot is launched with Ralph directing the show.

Ralph's Bad Reality Show arc truly was the peak of his craft

do you think if they cloned Charles Stiles and introduced Charles Stiles to Charles Stiles that they would get stuck in an infinite loop of saying "Charles Stiles, Mystery Diners"?

What if You wanted to go to heaven But god said You cheated on the Cheesy’s Grilled Cheese Challenge

9 circles of hell 1. Limbo 2. Lust 3. Gluttony 4. Greed 5. Wrath 6. Heresy 7. Violence 8. Fraud 9. Cheating on the Cheesy’s challenge

I live in Austin and the bar with the poetry night was closed within a year of Charles Stiles visiting

I swear all US reality shows are all edited by the same dude

99 cameras have been set up in the ladies restroom

"I just cant believe hes gone" "Well, I just know Charles will honor their life with the eulogy." "Hi, Charles, Mystery Diners. This funeral is pretty sad, and not in a good way, so I put TWO cameras in the coffin, FOUR cameras in the bathro-"

I’ve watched this video like fucking 27 times starting in 8th grade. I’m taking EMT classes now. This video has unparalleled rewatchability. Watching this video after 5 shots of tequila was a magical experience. Thank you, Ralph.

"I am inevitable" "And I... am... Charles Stiles, Mystery Diners"

But why is it called mystery diners? There is no mystery. A better name would be insignificant theft diners.

every year i come back to this video its truly timeless

Ralph has this look of genuine perpetual angryness in his face and i like that

"Hey I've been stealing my boss' recipes for our Iraqi food cart. Where should we set it up?" "Literally less than 30 feet from the restaurant." *N O T F A K E*

"I've received multiple complaints that someone hasn't been flushing the toilets in the restrooms" "Charles Stiles, Mystery Diners" "20 cameras have been placed in the restrooms"

This is the best video Ralph has made. I come back to this multiple times a year. Cheers.

This is one of my favorite videos ever, for so many reasons. The first of which being that I have now vowed I will never visit a restaurant unless it has two cameras set up in the bar, one camera set up in the dining room, three cameras set up in the kitchen, one camera...

You own an Iraqi restaurant in Oregon. Some employees want to make a food cart for the business but you decline. Suddenly an Iraqi food cart opens up down the street and you start losing food 🤔🤔🤔🤔

100 cameras have been set up in Charles Stiles moustache to carry out the sting

By far the most rewatchable episode on the internet.

23:43 Often overlooked in this incredible video is how fucking disgusting the Torpasta dish looks

"Starla Childs, Distillery Miners" 2023 edit: Changed it from "Starles Chiles"

that drag episode has the same story as the little panda fighter

I keep coming back to this video. Cannot believe its 7 years old.

Whenever I’m having a bad day, traveling somewhere, or just am bored, I watch this. I’ve been watching it since it was released. I was in high school and now I’m graduating college soon. This video has been with me through it all

Cheating on the cheesy’s challenge is the only unforgivable sin.

I'm scared, there's an Iraqi food cart outside my house

I lose it every time when Ralph screams “an Iraqi food cart?!” 😂

I can't believe it's been 4 years...

I watch this every month

Hi my name is Mystery Diners, and Im with a company called Charles Styles

I love that this video has outlived the show itself. I enjoy sharing this with friends who have never viewed it.

I only now just realized that the "mystery diners" are referring to the people Charles sends in to eat at these restaurants and not the restaurants themselves

Do you think Charles Stiles' daughter refuses to go on dates with people because she knows her dad has every restaurant in town with cameras and microphones?

I don't even think there are Iraqi food carts in Iraq.

13:53 This scene popped up in my mind while I was at my miserable job last night - I had to choke back my own laugh so hard. How is this still so hilarious after 5 years!?

I think about Ralph in a fake mustache, yelling about 9 winners in the cheesiest challenge at least once a month and every time I laugh.

Charles Diners, Mystery Stiles.

"I didn't tell you to setup five cameras in the ladies restroom" "You didn't have to"

third time watching this in three days, there just isnt content like this anywhere else anymore 😭

Truly a KZfaq classic, there's a reason I keep coming back to this video

i swear i end up rewatching this vid every 6 months or so when i can’t find any good new content

Kid puts soda in water cup. Charles Stiles, Mystery Diners

Still the best Ralphthemoviemaker Film/Review to date. Return to form Mr. Sepe!

I basically watched every single episode of this show growing up and charles stiles is my sleep paralysis demon

If I made Mystery Diners, I would turn it into a full parody of Mystery stories. Like, give the people really insane, over the top motives. "Why'd you steal my food and sell it in a food stand across the street?" "BECAUSE YOU KILLED MY FATHER, YOU SON OF A BITCH!"

The man who called Charles Stiles a D-list Sherlock Holmes owns my heart and soul

This video is Ralph's magnum opus.

“Say my name.” “…Charles Stiles Mystery Diners..” *”You’re goddamn right.”*

I remember Mystery Diners almost did an episode at this coffee place by where I live, it’s called “Ron’s Coffee”. They cancelled it because the owner got arrested for child pornography :/

Mystery diners has eleven seasons. Firefly barely has one.

I know it’s an awful show but Mystery Diners will always be special to me, countless iconic episodes I still watch to this day

It's fucked up that this was 7 years ago. My old ass remembers when this was a new video

"Put a tracking device in the wheel well of that truck." Okay I'm not a lawyer but I'm like 85% sure that's illegal

69 cameras have been set up inside destinys bedroom

It's amazing how searching for "some shush concerns" actually brings up this video.

I wish Ralph did more stuff like this.

This doesn't feel like a real show This feels like a South Park parody of a real show

I watch this video at least once a month.

I come back to this all the time, still one of my favorite videos, it makes me laugh so much because I relate to it. My parents watched this show all the time when I was a kid

Here for my annual rewatch

I cheated on the cheesies challenge

I've got 99 problems and an Iraqi food cart ain't one.

I love the genuine distress and anger you feel about this show.

"Charles Stiles, Mystery Diners" "Bob Vance, Vance Refrigeration"

“Hey, Charles.” “Charles Stiles, Mystery Diners.” “I know who you are, Charlie, we’ve been best friends for years.” “I’m from a little company called Mystery Diners, ever heard of it?” “You were the best man at my wedding.” “DANGIT!” “Why do you do this to me, Charlie? You need serious help.”

The moment when they shut down a car with a computor always gets me.

I've watched this three times now, and it gets better each time.

Fans: this show isn't fak- Charles Stiles, Mystery Diners: Danny, upload the restraunt's data to the Mystery Diners computer, then disable the restraunt's security with an EMP-equipped military drone with machine guns

So I was on vacation with my family, and one night we decided to see what was on TV. I checked the Food Network and Mystery Diners was on, so naturally I went "Hey, you gotta see this, it's the dumbest thing ever." BUT I UNDERESTIMATED THE SHOW'S DUMBNESS. The episode premise was that some workers were taking customers to the attic of a restaurant and making it seem like it was haunted with ghosts or whatever. Standard Mystery Diners stuff, right? WRONG. COMPLETELY WRONG. They brought in some lady who claimed to be a psychic medium or whatever and she went "there's the spirits of two girls who were murdered here and they don't like the workers bringing people into the attic." So the subplot of the episode became laying the spirits of the two girls to rest or whatever, and Charles Stiles was just like "Yep, that's what we gotta do, nothing weird about that, I'm Charles Stiles, Mystery Diners." So it's just assumed that ghosts are real and the attic is actually haunted, but the workers are still doing whatever up there and they get fired. BUT IT GETS BETTER. At the end there's an epilogue where you expect the narrator to go "Bill Blankins has been doing great ever since Charles Stiles set up fifty cameras in his restaurant," but instead he goes "unfortunately, the ghosts kept doing stuff and it drove customers away, causing Bill to have to relocate." My family was shocked that this was on the Food Network. I was too. EDIT: The episode is S5E10, "Paranormal Activities." As far as I can tell it was the only episode to feature a paranormal element. Release the drone.

I love coming back to these. Old Ralph is best

*T H E S E G U Y S A R E S T E A L I N G M Y M E A T*

Honestly, the one episode that really upset me was the episode where the guy was about to fire his mother for donating 200 burgers to a homeless shelter once a month, and She paid for them out of her own checks. Made me hate the show that much more.

The way Charles Stiles keeps talking nonsense is literally the same feeling of when I try to fill my end of term paper with nonsense

This is still one of the best videos ever made. Mystery Diners will always infamously live in my heart thanks to Ralph.

The fact they added in post an alarm when the drone crashes is absolutely hillarious.

*at funeral* random person: "What is your relation to this man?" Charles Stiles from Mystery Diners: "Charles Stiles, Mystery Diners"

bruh no way this vid was 7 years ago its a classic

"Grab a magnetic tracking device and put it in the wheel well of that van" Low key one of the funniest quotes to ever come out of this show.

I just found you on IHE's Fred video, now I'm binge watching all of your videos

I like how Ralph smirks a little after saying “and closet homosexual.”

I live in England and had no idea this show existed until this video, which uploaded five years ago, and yet for some reason I keep coming back to it for entertainment.

I watched about 2 1/2 episodes. And I almost created a KZfaq channel just to tear this show apart. Thank you, Ralph for doing it so I didn’t have to. And most likely better than I ever could’ve.

“I am inevitable.” “I’m Charles Styles Mystery Diners.”
