Damn! Damn! Damn!

Here is the original scene. Enjoy!

What was she making? A cake? Or potato salad?

She was mad that Maude didn't attend the funeral.

I would to think the same thing about John Amos.

R4 here. Meant to say "I used to"

What a dingy kitchen. You'd think a former maid would have a cleaner kitchen.

R6 it was a high rise in the Chicago projects!

So? Lysol is cheap. So are sponges. Make the annoying kid clean that dump up.

And a new coat of paint wouldn't hurt either.

Paint, Penny, paint!

R9 what about Booger?

Flo was swearing because Willona swiped all the deviled eggs.

Just look at those gross kitchen cabinets.

Were they worried they'd get evicted if they cleaned the place up?

All I can say is I'm glad none of you lived in the projects

The Bunkers had a dingy place too, and they weren't living in Cabrini Green. What was their excuse? What did Edith do all day?

Some of you have never been inside a home where people below the poverty line live. Lucky you. They are old, crumbling buildings that have been left to rot and decades' worth of grime is baked in. Scrubbing the cabinets won't do any good, I assure you.

Mopping the floors, the walls, and the ceilings would have been of benefit.

They were picking bits of glass out of the waxy yellow build-up for years.

Florida was a pseudo-housewife/housekeeper. She really sat on her ass and watched TV while everyone was out.

“[R6] it was a high rise in the Chicago projects!“

It damn sure was not a deluxe apartment in the sky—which I wrote and sang about.

John Amos talks about working with Jimmie Walker.

Louise and George should have loaned out Florence to Florida and James. Florence was a great housekeeper.

Jimmie Walker seems like an asshole.

Jimmy Walker is ugly like Esther Rolle! Bernadette Stanis was attractive. She (Thelma) must have been adopted.

She should have yelled “Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!”

"Scheiße! Scheiße! Scheiße!"

How come she never won any Emmys?

Guys it was the 70s. Dingy chic was in!

R29 good point.

Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!

Jam! Jam! Jam!

This is a priceless and hilarious sketch! 😆

That sketch at R33 isn't even that much of an exaggeration of the show. The actress playing Thelma really captured her delivery.

It sucks

Yam! Yam! Yam!

Tell J.J. to clean that kitchen, or you'll stuff his ass full of "Dynomite!"
