Back about fifty years ago Mad Magazine did “Stupid answers to Stupid questions” Since my teenage years I’ve incorporated it in my responses to stupid people. It seems to have the same influence on the shows writers.
Bea Arthurs sarcasm was always my favorite part of the golden girls. After she left and the show was retooled as the golden palace, it only lasted one season, underscoring her importance.
“Dorothy, didn’t Aunt Teressa have a heart attack?” “Aunt Teressa didn’t have a heart.” “What about Uncle Nunzio?” “Uncle Nunzio died to get away from Aunt Teressa.”
@@annmc8392 Same here - the difference as I've got older, is that instead of censoring all the sarcastic comments that just pop into my brain, I let them out to fly wild and free!😆
One of them would set up the joke, there would be a pause, the camera would zoom on Bea, she would hold for just a second and would already have the audience laughing....just anticipating the brilliance with which she would deliver her response. For me, she was by far the anchor of the show.
I LOVE how Dorothy always takes a beat and stares at Rose NOT for time to think of a quip, but to give Rose a moment to think about what she said which of course she never does and that enrages Dorothy.
I’ve seen every episode probably 100 times now and everytime I absolutely laugh so hard 😂 Dorothy’s sarcasm, Sophia’s inappropriate comments, Rose’s silliness and Blanche’s sass and insatiable sex life. Forever is a GOLDEN show ❤️
Oh, she could! She had the most hilarious facial expressions! I love the one she made when Blanche was talking about her brother-in-law Jamie secretly lusting after her and baying at the moon. She went semi-cross eyed at that and I screamed laughing!
I saw her one-woman show in London in 2003. Throughout the show she would stare into the audience as the laughs came. It felt like she was staring at me!
Sophia: This question is for Dorothy; what kind of pain and embarrassment has this lifestyle caused your mother? Dorothy: I don't know. I'll ask her tomorrow when I visit her at...THE HOME. Sophia: No more questions.
Rose: Well, my granddaughter's never been to Florida before, so I'm going to take her to see Sea World, and Gator World, and Reptile World, and Parrot Village- Dorothy: What? The parrots don't get a world? This is outrageous!
This show trail blazed comedy, wit, grace, sarcasm, brains, and beauty for years to come. The writers truly pushed the actors out of their comfort zone and became the greatest comedy show of the 80's, early 90's.
Same. You should see me at lunch when I rib a guy who I sit next too. He said all dems were idiots and im a dem so i said "I thought you were Republican"
I don't know any celebrity that can do or close on what Bea do. The facial expression, delivery, and presence. She's the only person can make me laugh out loud just sitting or a stare. 🤣🤣🤣
You left out the best sarcastic moment of the series IMO. And one of Dorothy's best lines. The plumber carries a toilet into the front room and goes back out to his truck. Rose walks in from the kitchen and asks " was that the plumber? ". Dorothy's looks at the toilet, then back at Rose and says " No. It was a little girl from down the street selling Girl Scout toilets. ". Priceless!!
I love The Golden Girls!! Definitely one of the best hilarious shows of all time. I'm just like Dorothy when it comes to my peebrain cousins when they ask me dumb questions. Like one time I was out on the porch smoking a cigarette and one of my cousins came outside and said "hey are you smoking?" I sarcastically said "No I'm signing up for space camp." Even though he could clearly see I was just outside smoking a cigarette. True story.
My niece did the same thing! She comes up to me at my job tells the customer I’m checking out “forgive me I just wanna give my uncle a hug!” Then after she hugs me she looks me dead in the face and goes, “working?? 🙂” I said “no, Cassandra, I’m developing pictures for the Magellan space probe........” then she looks around all confused and I snap “YES, U TWIT!” Lmao 😂
Dorothy: Morning Rose, is your ceiling leaking too? Rose: No, Dorothy. I have a cow in my room and it's time to milk her. ...Boy when I don't get any sleep, I can be as bitchy as you.
She definitely got it from Sophia! Sophia could be straight savage with her commentary, but I loved it the most when Rose got some zingers in (like the time she called Blanche a 'hypersexual bitch' LOL).
Rose: Dorothy you owe me an apology your ad is right here Dorothy: Rose this is the personals column Rose: so what? Dorothy: so what? You put an ad in the personals column that said I would do anything for eight dollars Blanche: there's a bus full of Greek sailors and they wanted to know how many drachmas are in eight dollars
Every time Dorothy started a sentence with “No Rose” you knew she was going to roast her.
It's way too hilarious
Exactly, the best!
I was thinking the same thing 😂
Back about fifty years ago Mad Magazine did “Stupid answers to Stupid questions” Since my teenage years I’ve incorporated it in my responses to stupid people. It seems to have the same influence on the shows writers.
🤣🤣🤣
“Can I ask a dumb question?”
“Better than anyone I know.”
I’ve used that one a number of times 😂
Blanche: I don't know what to do with my old matress.
Dorothy: Put it in the Smithsonian, Blanche.
"so how far do you want to go Blanche, I meam do you still want to be able to vote?" lmao
😂😂😂💀
Mean*
I died 😂😂😂😂

Her sarcasm was genius
Bea Arthur was the queen of dead pan humor .She could get laughs doing the evening news
Indeed, she was brilliant, her candor, delivery and timing are unmatched. Her burns were hands down the most savage of the show.
I think she wanted to keep the "Maude" character that she was most known for and I am glad she did.
Just her facial expressions alone, had me in stitches 😂
Imagine her next to Norm Mcdonald reading the headline news on SNL. 🤣
💯
"Looks like somebody poured about 90 minutes of extra sand into the glass." 😄
That was a good one. Lol
That one got me too! Lol
This was my favorite!
Lmao 🤣 😂😅!!!
One of the best comedies to ever come out of the USA.
strafrag1 world
agreed
Do not forget Lucille Ball...
This is SOOOO TRUE!!!!!! THE BEST SITCOM EVER EVER SEEN IN THE USA!!!!👍👍👍👍👍🍾🥂
The best is the classic comedies
She invented sarcasm.
New Mann her sarcasm was epic af and ahead of its time
You maybe correct lol
Bea Arthurs sarcasm was always my favorite part of the golden girls. After she left and the show was retooled as the golden palace, it only lasted one season, underscoring her importance.
New Mann she was the absolute Queen 👑
New Mann Basically perfected it!
The "What kept you..." response seriously cracked me up. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
😆 😆 😆 😆 😆
Yeah, that was hilarious! 😂😂😂😂
I hollered!
And his reaction he was like, “Hmpf!” Lmao 😂
Gold!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
"Any idiot could have done it"
"I know honey, but you were the only one going downtown"
LMFAO!!!
😄
She was great!
🤣
"Why would she need a kidney?"
"To feed the CAT, Rose!"
That's still my favorite.
Lol
😄😄😄
I think of this line so often, especially as I feed *my* cat
Best line ever!!
“Dorothy, didn’t Aunt Teressa have a heart attack?” “Aunt Teressa didn’t have a heart.” “What about Uncle Nunzio?” “Uncle Nunzio died to get away from Aunt Teressa.”
damn 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lol. "It's too tight, it's too short and it shows too much cleavage for a woman your age..."
"Yes, it's you!"
astrangeone she looked great!
When your best friend asks you about their outfit and they ask you to be honest
@@artemislunanettybecker8641 Lol! I had a friend pull that one on me! Sue me, I like low cut shirts and blouses.
@@geenal360 I agree. She really rocked that outfit!
@@astrangeone I ain't never gonna "dress my age", I'm gonna dress the way I feel like! 🙌
How Dorothy keep a straight face at 4:12 when Blanche said "what wet's yr appetite"? I almost died!! 😂😂
I would’ve lost it 🤣
well i think her long pause was her thinking sad thoughts so she wouldn't laugh
Haha. I'm sure they had to do it a few times. I doubt they both got through it without laughing at least a couple times.
Classic!!!!
@Gold Rose I love watching the bloopers. :D
I swear I'm more like Dorothy the older I get lol love her! 😂😂
lecrucifix why you being like that
Me too!
I think I have always been like this, it just got worse over the years. My Mother used to say be careful you don't cut yourself with that tongue.
@@annmc8392 Same here - the difference as I've got older, is that instead of censoring all the sarcastic comments that just pop into my brain, I let them out to fly wild and free!😆
Everyone needs to have a Dorothy in their life. 🙌🏽
I AM the Dorothy in my life....
@@hankaustin7091 Exactly. Everyone needs to be Dorothy! 🤣🤣😅
I was going to say or you yourself are Dorothy!
I am dot
“And what’s for dessert Blanche, penicillin??” 😂 💀
Krombopulos Pichael her straight face during that but was hysterical
I never understood the penicillin jokes, they made them often but I never got the punchline 😂😂😂
Blanch slept around a lot. She is insinuating that she could have contracted an STD.
One of them would set up the joke, there would be a pause, the camera would zoom on Bea, she would hold for just a second and would already have the audience laughing....just anticipating the brilliance with which she would deliver her response. For me, she was by far the anchor of the show.
Betty said they were 4 points on a compass which I think is pretty apt as well.
like at 3:49
All the characters were excellent and important, but yes, Bea was the star/anchor of the show.
"Now you can call him garbage."
That always makes me laugh no matter how many times I see it!!!
The "penicillin for dessert" line always gets me.
I LOVE how Dorothy always takes a beat and stares at Rose NOT for time to think of a quip, but to give Rose a moment to think about what she said which of course she never does and that enrages Dorothy.
I’ve seen every episode probably 100 times now and everytime I absolutely laugh so hard 😂 Dorothy’s sarcasm, Sophia’s inappropriate comments, Rose’s silliness and Blanche’s sass and insatiable sex life.
Forever is a GOLDEN show ❤️
The way she said "what kept you?" To the sweaty guy was gold
hahahaha i got to that part right when i read your comment lmao
The absolute queen of sarcasm!
From Maude to Golden Girls... she rocks!!!
This remark was directed at Dorothy at the train station. Remember this one? "Some big pots belong on the back burner."
It was said Bea Arthur could get an audience to laugh with just an eyebrow. It was not hyperbole.
Oh, she could! She had the most hilarious facial expressions! I love the one she made when Blanche was talking about her brother-in-law Jamie secretly lusting after her and baying at the moon. She went semi-cross eyed at that and I screamed laughing!
I saw her one-woman show in London in 2003. Throughout the show she would stare into the audience as the laughs came. It felt like she was staring at me!
On Broadway in Mame she held the audience laughing for 15 seconds glaring at Angela Lansbury. It’s a record
@@Fatima502 that theatrical device is called an "aside"
It was revolutionary in the 1700s, thereby joining actors to audience
Huge advance in theatre
@@DarlingNikki2 what episode was that? i need a memory refresher
Love the hourglass comment... OMG.
The one I liked the most was "Shady Pines, ma" cracked me up every time.
still love this show till this day and its so sad that 3 of the 4 of them are gone.. Rose is the only one still alive
@@kathycollins4350 .....and Betty White is the oldest of the four!
Another good Shady Pines crack... "I heard they sold it to some Germans".
Sophia: This question is for Dorothy; what kind of pain and embarrassment has this lifestyle caused your mother?
Dorothy: I don't know. I'll ask her tomorrow when I visit her at...THE HOME.
Sophia: No more questions.
"One word out of you and I cut off your supply of Metamucil."
They were great together. There’s no sarcasm without the set up from Blanche, Rose and Sophia.
Her accent is so clear, and her enunciation so precise.
"The mechanical claw grabbed the ring!"
(After Dorothy hugs his brother )
Stanley:- what about me Babe
Dorothy:- Go HUG a LANDMINE
Dorothy: You are not getting in this bed, Stan.
Stan: Where am I supposed to sleep?
Dorothy: On the floor like a dog.
Everyone played their characters perfectly!
One of the best sitcoms ever!
"now you can call it garbage"
I'm dead☠️
Dorothy was so funny with her sarcasm especially toward Rose.😆
3:09 “ You’ve been practicing for this part for a lifetime. Haven’t you? “. LMFAO
Rose: Well, my granddaughter's never been to Florida before, so I'm going to take her to see Sea World, and Gator World, and Reptile World, and Parrot Village-
Dorothy: What? The parrots don't get a world? This is outrageous!
Damm, shes sarcastic and so mean, I LOVE it!
She isn't mean, she's just "strong" lol. It's so badass!
Bea was great at her sarcastic remarks ! It was her trade mark !
I always channel my inner sarcastic Dorothy when dealing with idiots
This show trail blazed comedy, wit, grace, sarcasm, brains, and beauty for years to come. The writers truly pushed the actors out of their comfort zone and became the greatest comedy show of the 80's, early 90's.
Yo Dorothy was straight up savage her come backs just kept on coming We would totally be best friends no lie
A child between dorothy and niles would destroy the world with all that sarcasm.
Now I wish I could have seen that happen.
Sophia: "It's too short, too tight, and shows too much cleavage for a woman your age."
Dorothy: "Yes Blanche, it's you."
😂😂😂 I love it.
I am the Dorothy of my friendship group lol
Same. You should see me at lunch when I rib a guy who I sit next too. He said all dems were idiots and im a dem so i said "I thought you were Republican"
Alex Najera Oh so witty.
lecrucifix Very true. People who think they are more clever than they are.
Same
Shanai Eliza Jane Collins you look like it!
She's the epitome of East Coast sarcasm culture.
Bea Arthur is my role model for deadpan humor and abrasive sarcasm.
Bea really was a masterclass of comedic timing
Dorothy is the best! Lmao
Amen!!
This is curing my depression.😂😂😂❤
I don't know any celebrity that can do or close on what Bea do. The facial expression, delivery, and presence. She's the only person can make me laugh out loud just sitting or a stare. 🤣🤣🤣
Stan: sometimes the best thing you can do is lie still and motionless
Dorothy: that didn't sound right on our honeymoon and it doesn't sound right now
The Dorothy double take complete with a stare down😂😂😂
One of the greatest sitcoms of all time, after decades, it still holds up
i love how rose is so innocent she forgets for a second that blanche is the only one out of all of them that still gets it on
Oh they all get it on! Even Sophia
The hourglass and balloon comments was the best
And the one about Rose being Gary Hart's campaign manager.
I have the see every episode and this will never get old no many how many years passes I love the golden girls
“Her mother was a slut too”. I’m dead. One of my faves. Hopefully it will be on Part 2. Please?🙏
"The Liberace marquee at Caesars Palace." always gets me
You left out the best sarcastic moment of the series IMO. And one of Dorothy's best lines. The plumber carries a toilet into the front room and goes back out to his truck. Rose walks in from the kitchen and asks " was that the plumber? ".
Dorothy's looks at the toilet, then back at Rose and says " No. It was a little girl from down the street selling Girl Scout toilets. ".

I always thought a woman could be all these characters...a little bit of Dorothy, Sophia, Blanche and Rose.😁
A Gay Man too...
Like Me
@@cjturner370 Coco?
@@cjturner370 We are known for our sassiness tbf. Fellow Gay Man here.
She has to be a G.O A.T.if she left two popular sitcoms and the shows couldn't continue without her!

Dave Hallsen that’s one of my favorite lines ever. And the look Dorothy shot Rose when she said that 😂
Love all four of these ladies. I have the complete series and I watch it all the time. Golden Girls is better than what’s on television now.
I like her "my feet have wings, barfbag"
Love the Blanche/Dorothy roleplay at 3:56 😂
We need a part 2 of this, she had so many good quips.
KattriellaDoesStuff sadly they died already!only one left is Rose
@@wengstercalva4421 yep
I loved how they styled her...those outfits are everything
"I haven't lost my hourglass figure!"
"It looks like someone poured about 90 minutes of extra sand in it"
Blanche: This may be strictly off the records, but Dirk's nearly 5 years younger than me.
Dorothy: In what, Blanche. Dog Years!
"Who Blache, Masters & Johnson." That's the funniest of them all to me. LOL!
She's the real mother of Chandler Bing!
More like grandmother.
Oh man that would make a great duo.
Who Blanche? Master and Johnson? Dorothy's sarcasm in its purest form.
I am from South Africa and l grew up watching these ladies and l swear l see how l developed my sense of humor! 🤣❤️
“Masters & Johnson” LMAO!!! That was a good one!
That was one of those shows that was so good it will stay in reruns FOREVER!!!
one of the finest characters in tv history
the golden girls are so amazing
Dorothy's deadpan stare could cause soft tissue damage inside a 5' radius if you weren't careful. She was queen of the roast. 👑
Dorothy is my spirit animal! 🦄
Dorothy is literally my hero. I wanna be a boss like her when I grow up ❤
Golden Girls influenced my sort of humour so much :-)
Mine too
What’s for dessert Blench? Penicillin!! I love those girls ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Poor Rose everytime her face reacts when there's a burn. 😂
Remember the smart crack made to Dorothy at the train station? "Some big pots belong on the back burner." Love that one!
"masters and johnson" 🤣
Uh-oh . . . I’ve turned into Dorothy. And I am SO HAPPY!

Sophia roasted the hardest.
Dorothy's gotta have it some where.
Dorothy will always be my fav!!!!!
"She's Gary Hart's campaign manager. It doesn't pay much, but you don't have to get out of bed to do it." LMAO
That's truly one that's lost on anyone older than GenX, and even some of us late 70s babies. 🤣
I am not american but I investigated. Savage burn, solar flare level.
Rose: "I call him Scotty"
Balloon pops
Dorothy: "Now you can call him garbage"

Is Dorothy Chandler's Grandmother ?
Based on the voice alone, must be his paternal grandmother.
Wonderful connection!!! I think the answer is yes 😩😂😂😂🤦🏾♀️
Srsly i was thinking the same thing 😂😂
So then who would Chandler's Mother be? Hahaha I know we met her in the show but who would she be if she was a sarcastic as Dorothy and Chandler?
No but she could be his aunt, remember Dorothy's brother Phil was a cross dresser 😂
At times Dorothy was ruthless 😄
She definitely got it from Sophia! Sophia could be straight savage with her commentary, but I loved it the most when Rose got some zingers in (like the time she called Blanche a 'hypersexual bitch' LOL).
3:49 it would have been funnier if she said nothing and just went back out lol!
Rose: Dorothy you owe me an apology your ad is right here
Dorothy: Rose this is the personals column
Rose: so what?
Dorothy: so what? You put an ad in the personals column that said I would do anything for eight dollars
