I love how they were all so savage on this show. Dorothy was savage in a calculated way. Blanche was savage on impulse. Rose was accidentally and unknowingly savage. And Sophia just had no filter at all.

I've seen the clip for this but it cut off the "decaf" part. With it, the scene's not as funny: w/o it it makes it looks like "slut" and "moron" was the nicer thing Dorothy could have said if she had continued before her coffee. ...just my thought, carry on

must be born this way. or have great writers and comic timing!

[@ptitgavroche]

The glacial stare. The built up tension from those 1sec-too-long-pauses. The deadpan delivery of those deliciously witty come backs that could cut glass. Dorothy Zbornak was one of a kind.

[@bradwoodburn]

Why don't I wear a sign that says "Too ugly to live" Lmfao! Anyone can relate when you ask anyone a simple question on how you look, and all you get is the negative remarks.

[@ash34005]

The way Dorothy gives her look and burns them with her savagery is unmatched. Blanche just laughs and keeps going about her business 😂 Dorothy, queen of savage

[@samalvey8168]

"They were probably looking for drugs." "We have Maalox and estrogen. How many junkies have gas and hot flashes?" The only thing funnier than Dorothy's cutting remarks are her absolute deadpan stares. Bea Arthur doesn't even need to say anything to get laughs.

[@apokryltaros]

Her stares were as fabulous as Jack Benny's

[@RedEyed2012]

She and Monty Python's John Cleese were the best. No wonder she starred in one of the remakes of Fawlty Towers.

...totally agree! To me it's the funniest couple of minutes in the entire 7 years of the show...lol

[@101_Juice]

I’m a 32 year black male American 🇺🇸. Born in 1991. Me and my brothers (who were ball players and hip hop) urban kids loved this show! It would come on late on Nick @Night. We would watch everything else and stay up for that. My parents would be like they like that too?! 🎉😂 🤍

My favorite zinger from Dorothy is when Blanche walks in upset and say's "I've never been so embarrassed in my life." Then Dorothy responded with, "What about that time you lost the keys to your handcuffs and you had to go with that guy on his mail route." 🤣😂 That one does it every time for me..

Blanche: [unamused, steals pork chop] Dorothy, you're out of the club. Meeting is adjourned. Thank you, ladies. See you next week. [other members depart] Well, I hope you're not too upset over this, Dorothy. Dorothy: I've just been thrown out of an unauthorized Elvis fan club. I'll try to pick up the pieces and go on with my life. I mean, there must be a support group for people like me. Rose: We're sorry, Dorothy, but the bylaws clearly state that any derogatory remarks about the King are grounds for immediate expulsion. Blanche: Maybe you ought to join an organization that is a little less fanatical in its devotion, honey. Dorothy: Oh, like what, Blanche, the PLO?
