Uncle Rico


Every time I watch the movie 'Napoleon Dynamite' and Uncle Rico is introduced, I can't help but feel a sense of deja vu. Like his character is based on someone I know. Maybe I've partied with him before.. He's the uncle that comes 2 hours late to a your nieces 5th birthday party, and without saying a word to anyone opens the refrigerator, pulls out a can of Budweiser, and proceeds to chug it until empty and says "I'm fucked up bro... Sophia come give your Uncle Rico a hug!!!!!"

Uncle Rico is the guy who keeps asking you if you want to see the new upholstery he put in his van, even though you're pretty sure he's asked you this at least 3 times before. His van is conveniently located half way down the street near an empty lot.

Uncle Rico is the guy where a typical conversation with him goes as follows..
"Who's that sweet piece of meat over there..."
 "Uncle Rico she's 13."
"Well I'll be....."
