Janine Plays Barb and Melissa Perfectly - Abbott Elementary

[@glogler]

I’m so glad the writers gave Janine a realistic apartment for a public school teacher. Not having us believe she could afford a 2 bedroom loft downtown

[@creategenius719]

They even made it a basement apartment in a sketchy neighborhood. The writers understood the assignment.

[@buffbuffy99]

@@creategenius719exactly this! Like it’s a sizable but she likely got it way cheaper due to the neighborhood and it being basement level. Highly relatable. lol

[@JessicaTorres-ts7gg]

The writer is Janine (in that case, Quinta Brunson). Her mother was a teacher in Phili.

[@lordeowstheking]

" having us believe , lol, how old are you? These are fictional characters , no matter what type of place she stays in.. so goofy

[@buffbuffy99]

@@lordeowsthekingthey are based on actual people and actual lives. Hence the relatability for many of us. Go figure out why you needed to flex your superiority complex on a KZbin clip of a lighthearted ABC sitcom. Go to therapy and sit down.

[@lorenbaker479]

Barb and Melissa were both acting like mothers.

[@okenwa1983]

Do you think that was the point? 🤔🤔🤔

[@scorpionic-night]

​@@okenwa1983YES BECAUSE JANINES MOM SUCKS

[@nirvanaheights]

They are Mothers 💅

[@rosegoldbanks4842]

Well when her mother was introduced on the show Barbara took on the role because Janine’s mother is trifling 😂

[@ApolosXV]

I love confident Janine, because it's still a bit childish and cute haha, "Luck, I don't know her" needs to be a life motto from now on, hahah Quinta's acting, muah! chef kiss

[@brahh8639]

She planned this party so perfectly, lol only thing she didnt plan for was spontanety

[@brahh8639]

Although she shoulda had Turek DJ the party, how do you have a party scene without him in it?

[@rosegoldbanks4842]

@@brahh8639Because his trifling tail wouldn’t want to leave 😂

[@soph509]

the fact that quinta submitted this scene for her emmy nomination makes it even better 😭

[@niknap451]

I was cracking up when Janine imitated Barb and Melissa 🤣🤣🤣

[@mariaskabardonis8353]

Didn’t know Janine was such a mastermind I am impressed

[@Highvibethings]

Her C-Walk is soooo smooth! lol 1:12

[@aninduvialwithagoodheart]

Janine was on that reverse psychology mentality which worked in her favor,love how she's coming into her own on her terms and her imitation of Mrs Howard and Melissa were spot on

[@sillygoose5310]

Janine’s evil laugh is so funny 😂

[@zanite8650]

Quinta's physical acting is *fantastic*

[@ak-xp4hp]

This sequence is or should be Emmy winning

[@thaconqueror777]

1:27 ICONIC 😩😂 This part has me in a CHOKEHOLD. 😩

[@FF4Ever15]

That's her Emmy moment

[@TheeKittyPie]

“This kitchen is a MESS-UHUH!”

[@TheMotherofTacos]

LITERALLY SO ICONIC 😭😭😭

[@gawgeous_gemini616]

I love Janine's character growth! I was so proud of her this episode lmao

[@brahh8639]

Same!! I think her and Gregory are the characters that have evolved the most. When he first got there as a substitute teacher, he couldn't go a scene without uttering the word principal, and now he Went an entire season without it, not to mention how closed off to Jacob he was

[@Gumbier_Than]

I saw the end of this episode. I am very happy and no longer feel jerked around. 🤩

[@AnkhGirl]

Yaay!!! 🎉🎉🎉 Can't wait!!

[@scorpionic-night]

didnt watch it yet but imma guess its because janine and gregory plan a date or smthn

[@brightshining]

@@scorpionic-night op, not just that :p

[@ALu-nq8rf]

Maybe in the morning 😂​@@scorpionic-night

[@dwaynejpeterkin]

​@@scorpionic-nightyour in for a surprise 😉

[@Largo3point0]

This was an Emmy-worthy segment. (And Brunson already has one!)

[@Largo3point0]

“…quite the work in progress!” 🤣🤣I’ll be using that from now on when I want to shade with subtlety.

[@lovelee1772]

Melissa and Barbara are so like my aunts when they come to visit😂😂😂. Tidying up and fussing 😂😂smh.

[@Joe_Parmesan]

"This kitchen is a mess-ugh!"

[@monicaromero9750]

Best episode EVER! Had to watch the end twice. 😁

[@devoneciaswartz2026]

I SCREAMED FOR THE END!! We've been waiting for it for so loooong!! 😆😆

[@meoshebeckworth9251]

I had to scream into my pillow to avoid waking my neighbors, that what I get for waiting to 11 pm to watch it, lol 😂😂😂

[@MistressOP]

Janine realizing her superpower. and not doing evil with it.

[@dahmanique]

This show is so good and so brilliant. It's been a long time since I've been invested in a show like this. I'm a parent to kids in public school so it's very relatable!

[@OneofthemillionARMY]

She really maximized the space for this party. That was very impressive lol

[@Grace-ju1gp]

0:46 laughed so hard watching this part the first time

[@FabulousKilljoy917]

Might just go down as one of the most iconic scenes in TV history

[@TonyDphaxKing]

This is why Temple's quest to find the "Diamonds" in its own backyard is so important. The media can't get enough of this story. 🎉🎉😮

[@truelove2283]

This was a really great episode!!! From beginning to end 😂

[@lynnify6]

You GOOOOOO Janine 😂😂😂😂 Your confidence is through the roof...and I love it❤

[@ak-xp4hp]

"This kitchen is a mess.......UGH UH"

[@IWishICouldThinkOfAGoodHandle]

Congratulations to Quinta for playing Janine imitating Barbara and Melissa so well it must be so hard to play one character imitating another character or in this case 2 other characters

[@ginacleveland7995]

It's about time! Now check Ava!!✌️

[@ljayzee66]

Right! I am waiting for her to READ her.

[@auntiem71]

The Barb impression Omg!

[@PrideRock92]

Janine doing a Barb impression never disappoints. I sing “you’re so lovelyyyyy” to my dog daily.

[@lamontjones2007]

This is one of my most favorite sitcoms of all time!! This show is hilarious, heartfelt, and genuine.

[@rumbidzainewengo9974]

She’s so cute. Adorbs

[@traceeford2914]

I wish I had those planning skills. Janina is what Princess Poppy would be like if she were born and raised in Philly...by Taraji.😂

[@beingtoreyjohnson8874]

Lol watch this last night I’m sure I woke up my neighbors with my laugh lol

[@sharondalton7632]

Currently my favorite show on tv.

[@gabelogan5877]

Janine is so diabolical in this clip.

[@StreetFighterFan777]

Quinta Brunson is a treasure and I will hear no word to the contrary.

[@enoughstuff333]

I loved this scene! I watched it multiple times!!!!!

[@TheHummingBirdJaiye]

My absolute favorite episode. I love how she mimics Barbara like a Disney Queen😂

[@samosullivan1744]

Quinta deserves another Emmy for that miming ALONE!

[@Celanoj]

This SENT my partner and I. Janine imitating them was perfection.

[@brightshining]

She played them -- like Frans Brüggen plays the flute...

[@wikanhastuningdyahbudihart8474]
