A tribute to Gloria Akalitus from the Showtime Original Series "Nurse Jackie" (L. Brixius, E. Dunsky, L. Wallem. Perf. A.D. Smith. Lionsgate Television, 2009). I do not own any content.
That whole elevator scene had me laughing till tears were rolling down my cheeks. From the taking herself, to her sitting on the floor SO frustrated and the scrunched up squirrel lips....priceless! Love her character and Zoe. A gem.
+Madlifey Ok! Yes I just finished seasons 1&2 and now in the middle of 3 . My god this show is hilarious I wish though Netflix would put on the sproanos so I can see Edie do some more awesome shit she does here.
Ann Defratie oh Wow!! I noticed Netflix put Nurse Jackie on a few days ago and I've been watching it everyday. I won't spoil it for you, but its amazing how things has taken so many turns. I love when she finds God smoking.
LOVE IT! "I like to hide my humanity, Dr. Ohara." "That is some real Hansel and Gretel shit right there." "Also she is not judgemental. That's something I'm working on." "T.I.T. Teach instead of talk... That's not gonna work."
She is just like my step father was! Growing up with someone like this is a nightmare!! This actress is very good at what she does. Thanks for sharing!
I have the DVD series love this show and the fact sometimes I just want to see a clip I worked in nursing you would not believe how many of these things are trueI am retired now love all of this series Thanks
She the character you dont relate with or like untill you grow up and have to do adult things on a daily basis then you completely and totally understand her❤ and grow to love her ❤
there should be a new sequel but this time its Jackie's youngest Daughter being a new hotshot newbie nurse going back to her mothers nursing world while her big sister iinherited jackies same addiction problem and this time Zoe is the new Supervisor and Akalitus is the new chief nurse and these women are interconnected once again in Hospital.
Between the character, excellently portrayed by this actress, and discovering Merritt Weaver is in this show (in a comedic role vs her expertly portrayed dramatic roles in Godless and Unbelievable) is a treat. I’ve got to watch it. Can’t believe I haven’t yet.
she is f!@!@#$%! awesome!!!! wonderful character! that taser scene though...i lost my shit!!! i was laughing so much... watching NJ for a 3rd time....this video was fantastic,thank you!!!
She was the reason why I watched Nurse Jackie... I like Edie Falco but I couldn't stand her character. But Gloria... she was the brightest star of the show
Ak reminds me of Charge Nurse Ramona, Ryan's Hope, July 7, 1975 "In fact, you don't even enter a patient's room without..." Bucky - ..."Checking his chart." I think the NJackie team may have watched RH Being a nurse is not easy...
I had a boss like Akalitus she was great she got cancer and I made her a quilt she would not be fooled into drinking the dope but the rest I would hope she would do .
6:09 elevator induced people deprived narcissistic psychosis talking to herself LMAOOOOO I got akalitus the shaking her appearance 0:19 lmaooooooooooo DEAD
"Handcuffs?! You're 43! He's 43!!" Lmao 😂
Tyler Hartman you’re a security guard, go secure something
GO SECURE SOMETHING!,😂😂
Brilliant😂
My favorite is when she's stuck in the elevator and makes up an award speech HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA talking to no one
Applause applause applause 👏🏼
That whole elevator scene had me laughing till tears were rolling down my cheeks. From the taking herself, to her sitting on the floor SO frustrated and the scrunched up squirrel lips....priceless! Love her character and Zoe. A gem.
You just fall in love with her 😂
Same here ✊🏾😊👏🏿❤️
"It sounds like a disease.... you know..... I've got Akalitus!" lmao! 🤣
I miss this show.
Definitely underrated 😅
She’s one of the BEST characters!
I like when she said listen sister you married god, I married this job 😂
She, Zoe and Thor 😍
"You're healthcare professionals, stop smoking!
-
'Keep movin' Gloria.'
hahaha
Anna Deveare Smith is such a genius. I love her and I love this character! :) Thanks for brightening my day!
You're welc.
She used to go to Beaver College back in the day.
one of my favorite akalitus quotes: "two wrongs don't make a-" "wanna bet"
Omar the Terror. They may have killed you off but you live on...
Didn't like her much the first season, but absolutely loved her every season afterward.
"Michael! Handcuffs...you're 43. He's 43." 🤣🤣🤣
"Your baby is dead." 😂
Ok hes not dead
My favorite:
Coop: "You know, there are lots of people that would hug me."
Akalitus: "Then find them and hug them."
I laughed so hard when she tasered herself, I shed a tear. 😂😂😂
One of my favorite scenes! lol
Akalitus, O Hara, and Jackie are the best characters. " Hello let me out" was one of the funny lines ever so far.
+Ann Defratie is that from the episode of her being trapped in the elevator?
+Madlifey Ok! Yes I just finished seasons 1&2 and now in the middle of 3 . My god this show is hilarious I wish though Netflix would put on the sproanos so I can see Edie do some more awesome shit she does here.
Ann Defratie oh Wow!! I noticed Netflix put Nurse Jackie on a few days ago and I've been watching it everyday. I won't spoil it for you, but its amazing how things has taken so many turns. I love when she finds God smoking.
I just binge watch the whole thing. I will wait awhile but slowly watch it again later.
REALLY MS. BARKOW?? REEEAAALLYY??? REEEEALlllyyyy???
Can't begin to tell you how many times I rewound that scene and laughed til I was crying.
They couldn’t have chosen a better person for this role🥰 She’s so under awarded and recognized
You got to check out her Wiki she's got a hundred doctorates.
“Gotta go figure out where these other FUCKERS are” 😂😂
LOVE IT!
"I like to hide my humanity, Dr. Ohara."
"That is some real Hansel and Gretel shit right there."
"Also she is not judgemental. That's something I'm working on."
"T.I.T. Teach instead of talk... That's not gonna work."
If I had Akalitis as my nurse manager, I would've still been a critical care tech!
i wish i had a boss like this.
WHY
@@whateverdv Gloria looked out for her people. She was in charge but she had a heard
You really don't.
I did and you really don’t.
I've probably accounted for 1,000 of these views.
SOMEONE... IS SMOKING
AnUnhingedMind Oh Jesus Christ! It’s God!!!! 💀😭😭
OMG I love this!
Her, O'Hara and Jackie are iconic!
She is one of my favorite TV characters ever and she is my fictional mentor lol
She is just like my step father was! Growing up with someone like this is a nightmare!! This actress is very good at what she does. Thanks for sharing!
her and zoey are hands down my favorite characters from this show
Keegan Gidley I know! I really like Thor too.
Best part of the whole show. She should've had a spin off if anyone ever deserved it!
1:56 HELLO?! Lol I'm dying 😂😂

Hospitals are crazy
Smith is the star, even more than Edie and Merrit

I much preferred Gloria in later seasons helping people get around the system as opposed to the oppressive administrator in season 1
That video made me smile on a baddddddddddddd day.
One of the best characters on the show. Love when she tasers herself
Teach instead of talk, T I T

Hahaha, this is great.
The Taze scene is hilarious
That face she makes when she's mad lol..
This is great. Would love to have an edited version to use as part of a nurse manager presentation.

Ak reminds me of Charge Nurse Ramona, Ryan's Hope, July 7, 1975
"In fact, you don't even enter a patient's room without..."
Bucky - ..."Checking his chart."
I think the NJackie team may have watched RH
Being a nurse is not easy...
Lol. God I love the cast so
Much.
I had a boss like Akalitus she was great she got cancer and I made her a quilt she would not be fooled into drinking the dope but the rest I would hope she would do .
Akalitus is like Abby Lee Miller but in nurse jackie 😂😂😂 but she is a ICONIC QUEEN 😂😂💖💖💖💖💖
“Jackie, get over here.” 😆
3:55 - nice little 5-note thingy that reminds me of a bit on Genesis' "Lamb" album
Come in.....COME IN!!!!
Just cant stop laughing😂😂😂😂
Oh shit.. Having flashbacks. Had a boss just like that.
1:55 is my favorite. That face though XD
There's a little more at 7:12 lol
I wish I I could give unlimited thumbs up. She did that several times in the elevator breakdown scenes. I'm dying hitting rewind, rewind, rewind. OMG.
Anytime, lemon-lime!
Me too!
LOL Akalitus is just like my mother.
4:25 - reference to Carmela talking to comatose Tony in The Sopranos, perhaps?
Big attitude coming from someone wearing panda earrings!
6:09 elevator induced people deprived narcissistic psychosis talking to herself LMAOOOOO I got akalitus the shaking her appearance 0:19 lmaooooooooooo DEAD
Loitering is losing, yes!
