The Best Of Florence | The Jeffersons

[@hfxmusicman]

Making Marla Gibbs a regular was the smartest thing this show ever did. Then after she left for her own show and they brought her back when that show failed......was the second smartest decision they made.

[@Kaboomboo]

More like second and third. That show was terrible! lol

[@jaylene.turner6524]

Marla Gibbs is one of the greatest actresses of all time! Thank the Lord she’s still with us. Let’s give her more flowers while she is still here.

[@goldeneve]

Yup

[@romamartina5201]

Yes so true

[@jamesorsby7553]

She finally got her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Thankfully... she lived long enough to see it.

[@JessicaLynnGimeno]

Amen! Living legend.

[@debsreno911]

I love Marla Gibbs! ❤️ 😍

[@blakearrington7040]

She said “this woman is a saint. Look who she married!”😂😂😂

[@Multifacted_Brotha]

Happy 93rd birthday to the legend Marla Gibbs!!!

[@mmurph617]

Florence can teach a master class on the Art of the Clapback.

[@nurhayat81]

Yes😂😂😂

[@lennypearl]

“Not drunk, just nosy!” and “Sit down! And don’t call my man a chump. Now look here chump!” 😂 Who doesn’t love Florence?

[@gamblester]

Cause she's funny like Willona of good times and Geoffrey the butler of fresh prince with all of them wisecracks and pick up lines lol lmao

[@befdoglover1]

​@@gamblesterWillona was also the one who sung this theme song. R.I.P., Ja'Net DeBois

[@ShawnBrantley]

Funny like Nlies from The Nanny

[@kendallrivers1119]

She and Benson are the funniest domestic workers in tv history!

[@chriswillett6753]

🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

[@solidsnakeisme]

"How come we overcame and nobody told me?" Haha, that's one of the funniest things I've ever heard. Marla Gibbs, as Florence, is one of the best characters in television history.

[@bettycogswell9851]

Amen to that. She was made for that part..

[@Shanniholworthy]

It was not in the script “She made that up”. And this got her the role because this was just an audition. Someone else was going to play Florence.

[@jayiam9481]

Just saw Lester & Mary dancing! I bet they never knew they would be stars together in another sitcom!! Haha! Awesome!

[@nowyukno7981]

I said Lester

[@josephclegg3562]

Florence has a twin sister named Mary Jenkins who lives in Washington DC.😆😆

[@loveyu2778]

They should of used a bit of the clip in a flashback scene..for 227

[@chrigael5911]

​@@josephclegg3562lol

[@nutritionistliz6057]

Like Dorothy & Stan who were together in an episode of Maude!

[@aliconteh7497]

Whoever wrote the “You Should’ve Dropped the ‘Jack’” line, Kudos for them. That was perfect comedic timing for Florence. Much love to Ms. Marla Gibbs. We love you all Ms. Sanford & Mr. Hemsley. RIP to them both.

[@kathyduby8150]

IKR. That line made me fall off the chair plus ROFL

[@gsnman]

"Why certainly, Mrs. Van Morris. Florence, you are speaking to a jackass! ROFLMAO"

[@robertgunter6540]

I believe that line was ad-libbed

[@befdoglover1]

George: Florence, your cooking taste like dog food! Florence: That's because I'm cooking for a Chihuahua!

[@maikeliRAIWALUI]

8:55 marla gibbs and hal williams would later become mary and Lester jenkins on 227

[@marvinl.midkiff4660]

Marla Gibbs was so funny in this show and she's a great actress.

[@mmurph617]

Buzz: "The engagement is off!" Florence: HOT DAMN!!!

[@Orcl1100]

And she didn’t mean “darn” either!

[@israeliqueen153]

Florence and the Doberman as hilarious. "don't be no fool."

[@shaunramsubhag1196]

😂florence made this show what it is. Love her to bits!❤❤❤❤❤

[@magnaballgin6865]

Florence and George were two of THE funniest TV sitcom characters of all-time!! Those two were absolutely perfect together LOL!!

[@kendallrivers1119]

I'd call it a toss up between them and Fred Sanford and Aunt Esther. All four are legendary characters! 🙌

[@jamesorsby7553]

Florence had Rodge and Dee's father rolling.

[@deewoo2776]

Hmm Hmm Hmm Hmm Hmm 😂

[@kendallrivers1119]

Florence is legendary! I would've loved to see her and Benson Dubois together in a scene 😂

[@samuelgriffin4167]

Florence has sass to make the show iconic

[@sherri2441]

This was one of my all-time favorite shows

[@shannonmartin107]

George: "Why don't you clean someplace else??!!" Florence: "I already cleaned the someplaces else!!!!"

[@hazemcdanill]

Florence: you should've dropped the jack 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@Mouse01011]

“How come we overcame, and nobody told me!” 😆

[@Dadeadbishes555]

Lmfaooooooo 😂😂😂

[@SusanFey]

What's that suppose to mean??

[@Mouse01011]

@@SusanFey Ummmm, Martin Luther King: “We shall overcome”? Florence was saying this because this was back in the mid 70s (about a decade after the civil rights movement of the 60s) and she was wondering why if these black folks have apartments in this expensive building (they “overcame” in other words), how come I can’t? : )

[@Otto8845]

I really like Florence. She was funny, sassy & beautiful.

[@daveolep7657]

This bring back memories growing up .

[@KwameAboagye-fh7gl]

I loved it when Florence destroyed that fool Buzz. Also, when Florence, protected George when he was ripped off by Owens.

[@samuelgriffin4167]

Florence Johnston looking like a beauty queen in Season 11 Some Enchanted Evening

[@user-ed7fr4wy4y]

I think she’s my favorite character, which is Florence

[@jammck1399]

Wow When Lester meets Mary in order to become two of TV sitcoms parents for 227 (1985-1990) on NBC.

[@SamuelGriffin-u8d]

Marla Gibbs as Florence has plenty of sass to make the show perfect

[@75SpeedRacer]

I can watch The Jeffersons over n over 😂

[@elizabethmarinas2475]

This is my favorite show of all time especially with Florence in it especially when she and George go at each other and trade insults

The roasting is epic 😊

Marla Gibbs is hilarious as Florence. She's the reason I loved this show.

[@nancygodsey8312]

Me too! She gave the show some spicy pepper in just the right way. She delivered her lines to perfection.

FLorence is my favourite.

[@creyes814]

Marla Gibbs was the show. I looked forward to her punch lines! LOL. She's so funny.

[@magnaballgin6865]

She was George's perfect foil LOL!

[@puffeiffer]

4:17 “Well, them vans you bought couldn’t swim!” LMFAO! I know they had top-notch writers on this show. But there’s something about Gibbs’ delivery that was like the Stradivarius to Mozart’s concerto.

[@dabadguygeezie]

8:20 Mary & Lester Jenkins before "227"

[@byfaithwalking1529]

7:55 Florence gave us a preview of Mary & Lester❤

[@chicagorainbow8935]

I didn't know that Hal Williams was in a episode of The Jeffersons!!So that's how Lester and Mary Met!!!!

[@Dakid015]

Marla Gibbs as Florence was quite the savage 😂.

[@aqueenceereid4249]

I loved Florence. My three favorite episodes was the one with Billy Dee Dee Williams, the one when he bought the muddy vans and when Florence was kidnapped and they thoughtl she was mrs. Jefferson😂😂😂

Mrs. Van-Morris in the orange dress @ the end of this clip, was Marla Gibbs’ real life sister the late Susie Garrett.

[@fidelnenas8390]

No Mrs Van Morris was played by Dorothy Butts. Susie Garrett played the role of Amanda in two episodes on the Jeffersons and the role of Mrs Johnson on Punky Brewster.

[@jamesorsby7553]

That's not her in that episode, but she did guest star in a episode or two of The Jeffersons.

[@user-mj8nf2vp7q]

Actress Dorothy Butts was Isabel Sanford's cousin. 👍🏾💯😊

[@sophiavukasevic8583]

This show brings back many memories of my childhood and my parents. My parents were hooked on this show every week and all the reruns in between. We had a lot of laughs, those were the good old days l miss them every day

lmao once weezy went off on mrs van Morris, george knewe it was over. lmao.

[@tavaresdeleon415]

Her dress for Hawaii was stunning! Everyone was makin' fun of her just cuz she's ahead of her time in vacation style. That outfit is perfect, compared to the dress suit and heavy coat George and Louise were wearing.

[@samuelgriffin4167]

Let's not forget Louise and Mother Jefferson

[@samuelgriffin4167]

One episode was Mr. Hendricks had that weird laugh

[@NewlifeNewbeginnings2]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@southamcaballero]

The episode where George asks Florence to insult her on purpose might be number one or at least in the top 2 of Florence episodes.

[@nutritionistliz6057]

I think Hal Williams was on another episode too. Anyone else know?
