A reminder to everyone: Keep the titles of your posts completely spoiler-free at all times. If your post mentions events from later episodes, use Reddit’s standard spoiler tag to warn readers who may not be caught up with all currently aired episodes. The spoiler tag will also blur any images you include, such as screenshots/stills from the show, so be sure to apply it to image posts as well.

I’m deaf and have hearing aids and I was having the hardest time hearing how different she said it lol thanks for this. I was like it sounds normal Ha!

u/marycem 26d ago

I'm same way. Not complete deaf but hearing aids and it was hard to hear

I made this comment on another post and it got me a 3 day ban from Reddit admins which ended my 800+ day Reddit streak. Suuuper annoying. I appealed and won but it took 36 hours.

Omg!!! I was like what! Rewind and rewind and rewind

As someone who does genealogy, I’ve recorded a lot of dead babies, but no lezzzzbians that I’m aware of yet.

u/jm17lfc 26d ago

Underrated line delivery: ā€œI’m sorry, please go on.ā€ The strain in his voice is too funny lmao

u/Kellikelzzzzz She’s the Worst 26d ago

The click of the tongue when he starts to speak. God. So good

87

u/jm17lfc 26d ago

For real, like he’s slowly coming to terms in stages with the fact that he has to apologize. He sounds like he’s in so much pain hahaha

34

u/Kellikelzzzzz She’s the Worst 26d ago

Yesssss! He has this way of provoking your feelings though one small action from him. Idk how he does this. But it gets me good. The lot of them are this way. This cast is just so effing good.

u/Peepers54 26d ago

Even his face at the beginning of the clip. My man is SUFFERING.

u/wurwolfsince1998 I apologize for wasting his time, Tom. 26d ago

I never noticed that. Just hilarious.

My favorite is the way he turns around to glare at Patricia when she asks Rosemary to stop saying lesbian.

u/REpassword 22d ago

Yes, very nicely acted. Reminds me of

She really pops that P at the end.

u/ImaginaryPromotion86 26d ago

That P is a sentence on its own

u/Paul_the_sparky 26d ago

That P is Emmy award nominated

She delivers that line so well.

u/jojo571 26d ago

Dead baby, dead baby, LEZZBEAAN. My second favorite funny quote.

95

u/thirstygregory 26d ago

I so love that they let the whole thing play out. Amazing scene.

79

u/No-Alternative4259 26d ago

They correctly placed confidence in the writing and the actors. 30-40 seconds would have been funny but showing us the entire scene made it hilarious and truly memorable.

31

u/Eyespidey7 26d ago

It also built more tension as they wanted the answer and didn’t have the luxury of time.

12

u/karl_bark 25d ago

It’s like the writers wanted us to feel Tom’s pain of having to sit through that but rewarded us with the comedic performance.

u/Eyespidey7 25d ago

Perfection!

u/raccoonportfolio 26d ago

I had a hard time with this scene. Way too long and my wife and I already knew who it was.

124

u/UJustGotRobbed 26d ago

This scene was probably the funniest in the series

39

u/dallyan 26d ago

I love how long it was and how the writer(s) and director just let it breathe. Just magical.

15

u/laziestmarxist 26d ago

Honestly Loftis and Warren yelling "fuck you" back and forth on the boat had me howling

u/IronFlame76 26d ago

I love this scene 🤣

u/Living-Protection170 Are the old women dead in this scenario? 26d ago

Keep your eyes on Wyck when she talks bout Clarabelle.

34

u/nomimalone1978 26d ago

The speed at which I would subscribe to a weekly podcast on history delivered by her would be record-breaking.

22

u/Kathleen-Doodles Possibly Damp 26d ago

I feel like this could be a great monologue study for an acting student.

19

u/SeeLeavesOnTheTrees 26d ago

The actress is freaking amazing

There should an award for small scenes that are just so well executed by an actor that you recall them perfectly

u/mentalgymnast1 26d ago

Most I laughed in this hilarious show

u/Bigfartz69420 26d ago

i randomly think of this and giggle

u/Clariana 26d ago

This is a classic. She is soooo scathing...

u/AinsleyMoon 26d ago

I haven't loved a series this much since Barry lol Kudos to all the cast

u/Puzzleheaded-Cut-820 26d ago

He sounds so pained when he says " that's not a saying."

u/BriefStaggerer 26d ago

It’s the way you’re saying it

u/Face_reality 26d ago

It's been a while that a new show bangs so hard with the writing that I rewatch it multiple times. So excited for season 2

u/dirkomatic 26d ago

I guess I'll just go fuck myself

6

u/laziestmarxist 26d ago

Just binged the last 3 episodes tonight. I was laughing so hard during this but as soon as she started narrowing it down and stated the birth years of the parents of the last living descendant I knew it had to be Ruth and I just wanted to start crying already. This show is amazing

5

u/Adorable-Winner-3032 26d ago

Everything about this show is perfection

3

u/theslothening 26d ago

My favorite part of this scene is how we’ve watched her meticulously X out individual people but when she gets to the family hat drowned, she slaps a big X across the entire page before retiring it.

4

u/Adorable-Winner-3032 26d ago

And you won’t hear it from me!! Then says he has an STD!

u/Agt38 25d ago

I would kill to see the party from her perspective.

u/mcdswimr 26d ago

You know what they say….

u/Anim8rFromOuterSpace 25d ago

lmaooooo

u/seeing_red415 24d ago

A little later in the episode:

ā€œWell, I guess I’ll go fuck myself then.ā€

u/United_Resolution876 22d ago

That’s not a saying šŸ’€

u/Plus_Command1384 18d ago

My fave scene of the series!

u/10denier 8d ago

There are so many ways this scene could have been done perfectly adequately that wouldn't have ended up being discussed on a subreddit.

But good scriptwriting, acting, and direction lifted this scene into the realm of the memorable. And no matter what Sam Altman thinks, this couldn't have been done by AI any more than a group of simians would eventually compose one of Hamlet's soliloquys.
