Golden Girls jokes that didn’t land

Reddit had a thread on this and I was surprised that people came up with so many. Like when Dorothy responded to Rose saying that she was going to replace her co-worker’s dog: “Rose, you don’t even like bringing me my slippers.” It fell flat with the studio audience.

“Little balls of sunshine” was awful.

Another one was Dorothy saying to Blanche that she was talking about arranged not deranged marriages after Blanche says she had one of those and tells a story. Blanche responds in a way that that’s what she thought Dorothy meant.

The few jokes that come to mind are a little too precious and over-written.

The one that sticks out to me the most is the "gaping maw / gaping ma" joke from "The Monkey Show." It's clever wordplay without being all that funny.

The #34 makeup with Enrique Mas.

R8 one reason it fell flat is because that’s such a Rose Nylund line yet it was given to Dorothy, the smart one.

R4, that whole scene was hilarious. Terrific performance by Rue.

R4 Agreed. Atrocious writing and acting.

R4, you’re insane. That scene is a TRIUMPH for Rue!
