The boat scene has to be one of the most hysterical and iconic tv scenes of all time. Btw, I saw an interview with Jennifer Coolidge that said she was extremely sea-sick during this scene and was literally vomiting in between takes. The fact that this woman was able to deliver this incredible performance basically while she was throwing up just shows how amazing of an actor she is.

[@floraposteschild4184]

If anything, the vomitrousness added to the performance.

She was... a NYMPHOMANIACCC! Seriously lost my shit at that part.

'even if she had no... maternal instincts.... or skills'. GIVE HER THE EMMY! That primal scream though. Incredible. Also, I really really related to her entire core of the onion speech.

Jennifer Coolidge's voice has some sadness to it even when she's happy. Ever since I was a child and saw her in legally blonde i have had a special place in my heart for her. The first scene not only had me crying but sobbing. She's a powerful actress and isn't as respected as she should be. I love you Jennifer, you're so loved and valued!

[@StarCatAxel]

The build up to the core of the onion had me tearing up and then it got hysterical. Feel like it’s such a spot on depiction of how ungodly cringe we can be when we’re honest and vulnerable about our toxic upbringing to someone who wants to be romantically involved. It’s not like tv and we don’t have it all rehearsed. Sometimes we do come off as an unhinged f***ing mess, and it really hits different when you’re self aware.
