Seconding Jessica Walter *"I mean, it's one banana, Michael. What could it cost? 10 dollars?"*

masimone Apr 14, 2026 +23
Michael: It is going to up in Tahoe a couple more days. Maybe you could take a date Lucille: How am I supposed to find someone willing to go into that musty old claptrap? Michael: [Michael stares at her awkwardly] The cabin... yes! That would be difficult, too.

"*Here's $20. Go see a Star War*"

JustPiera Apr 15, 2026 +1
I'm guilty of quoting this line to my Star Wars obsessed friends lol

"I don't care for Gob"

Thirding Jessica Walter, but from *Archer* (basically identical to Lucille Bluth): *"If I did want a grandchild, I'd just scrape all your previous mishaps into a big pile and knit a onesie for it"*
11
JustPiera Apr 15, 2026 +3
yea, another Archer fan. I teared up a bit when her character died on the show

I forgot about that line! I'm going to have to put that in my quote rotation :D

With this economy we aren’t far from that line being a statement of truth 🤣

damn I forgot that quote too. I really need to do a rewatch of Arrested Development

insertbrackets Apr 15, 2026 +2
Another favorite which I quote often is: “I don’t understand the question and I won’t respond to it.” Best accompanied by a slightly downcast but withering gaze.

JustPiera Apr 15, 2026 +1
there's a gif of that quote that I use often lol

Even the non “foot in the mouth” stuff is great - his hair transplant rejecting him, Mrs. Featherbottom, Dr. Funke’s Old-Fashioned, Good Time, Family Band Solution…

Oh for sure. Just the physical humour he puts into it is crazy. Just his movements are hilarious

The entire cast of What We Do In The Shadows brought their A game for the entire run of the show, but the Jackie Daytona and "drug blood" episodes stand out as unmatched comedic performances.

That wasn't a performance, that was just regular human bartender Jackie Daytona

*shows up covered in blood* “Oh this? No. This isn’t what it looks like. I was at a costume party earlier tonight and the host’s dog attacked me so I had to stab it.”

jonesbones99 Apr 14, 2026 +15
Sometimes I think about this joke and how it suggests that 1) he goes to a costume party dressed as a doctor because he’s a “doctor”, 2) he chose not to change his clothes after leaving the party, and 3) he didn’t wash at all even though he’s now coming out of the room where Jack was recovering from his heart attack.

Now, Jenna, medically speaking, for your height, your weight puts you in what we call the disgusting range. Fortunately, there are solutions. For example, crystal meth has been shown to be very effective. How important is tooth retention to you?

Lucille Ball on I Love Lucy. The Vitameatvegemin and Bill Holden episodes will never not make me cry with laughter.
29
cheeses_greist Apr 14, 2026 +5
Yes! How many times have I watched these episodes and I still laugh like a hyena. So many episodes start with “Lucy wants to get into show business” and each one is so funny. My favorite is the one where Lucy gets dressed in a full showgirl costume but the headdress is too heavy for her. Chaos ensues.
5
Iron_Chic Apr 14, 2026 +3
Lucy and Ethel trying to wrap the chocolates is my favorite!
3
Dancingedleslie Apr 14, 2026 +3
Yea I’m a millennial so these were even before my time but it’s still some of the funniest stuff I’ve ever seen. I remember being show the Vitameatvegemin episode in middle school for…reasons? She was brilliant. The whole cast was really.

The festivus episode where Frank's describing viciously beating another father who was trying to buy the same toy for Christmas never fails to crack me up. His delivery was perfect.

Bob_the_brewer Apr 14, 2026 +5
Have you seen him as the bad guy in RoboCop? That was a shock lol
5
ReluctantlyHuman Apr 14, 2026 +2
I’ve seen RoboCop but I was a wee lad. Arguably too young to be watching RoboCop in fact. I think he was sort of the antagonist in Good Poet’s Society too with another character from House as his son.

IndieCurtis Apr 14, 2026 +2
He plays a coke addict in Patriot, it’s fantastic

Mysterious_Field1517 Apr 15, 2026 +3
I've just watched an episode where he delivers a monologue where not a single word makes sense and it was a glorious performance. So far loving the show. https://youtu.be/G7Do2tlYLhs?is=iMd7_XJK28NolD15

Jessica Walter is such a good pick, the way she delivers even the smallest lines as Lucille never gets old. For me, it’s probably Steve Carell in The Office. I’ve seen those episodes way too many times, but some of Michael Scott’s lines still catch me off guard somehow.
