"I don't understand the question and I won't respond to it." I use that line a lot in real life and I fucking love it every time.

[@PlayaP69]

The second version of that line is even more HIGHlarious: When she's talking about Lucille Two "stealing" her son's and Lucille says, "Well, jokes on her. She doesn't know how little I care for GOB." I peed myself laughing the first I watched it 🤣.

[@aidanrogers4438]

Those first three seasons are among the finest tv comedies ever written. Every time you rewatch them you pick up on subtle jokes you missed the previous time.

[@franzoloranzo7302]

Like the fact that Rita is called Rita because she‘s RETArded

I think I'm too late, but i just watched the German dub of this show, and in it, the scene is not censored. He is just saying some mean stuff without cursing. It really is much funnier with the censor.

[@caydenc3697]

Matthias Wunderl oh very interesting!

[@kaanfidentuncle]

Oh, no no! I thought the bleeping, with the occasional word uncensored, and their expressions are what made it hilarious!

[@dhan07404]

When the feds see George Michael and get scared is just so stupid but always makes me laugh

[@phuckp.cummings5148]

What's even funnier is that one of the feds had a "clear shot"

[@Cheerruycooke2692]

just realized that throughout the whole show, the only instance in which Tobias has been reasonable was when Carl Weathers was scamming him

[@arthurpietrogarcia1057]

Well There a point in Season 3 where he says to GOB that he have Rita roofies and he says It in a serious tone.
