I'll miss her comedic genius, she was given the lines but she delivered them with all of the unique talent of a seasoned actor. May she rest in peace and her talent live on.

[ZeranZeran]

_GOOD for her!_ is one of my favorite jokes ever
the maid praying for Buster

[fuzzylon]

Every nuance of Jessica Walter's acting is perfect, the movement of her eyes, the way she moves her hands, the way she delivers the lines - a masterpiece.

[ryanschuette]

“Well that was a freebie” is my favorite running joke

[sg_dan]

"Well, maybe I'll get a son who WILL FINISH his cottage cheese" 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[mr.xharlie]

"He's going to the army 😭"
"You volunteered him 🤨"
"I knew you were going to throw that in my face 🙄"

Lucille blowing smoke into Buster's mouth is simultaneously disturbing and intriguing.

[jacoballey]

"you gave us cereal in an ash tray"

such a good mother

[myquiescentmind]

"Now, there's someone who could've used a good mother...WHORE!".

Lucille has always been my favorite character.

Michael: "Why didn't you just tell people she was adopted?"
Lucille: "Adopting a child we didn't want just to stick it to a competitor? Oh, that'd make us look great."
Michael: "You're right, Mom, people would have twisted that story to make ya look bad."
Lucille: "I don't see what the big deal is. We loved her just as much as any of you normal kids . . . more than Gob!"

Her performance and the writing are both pieces of art. I love how complex her character is in that although she's a horrible mother, that horribleness is manifested in different dynamics depending on which child she's dealing with. Job: she flats out hates, Buster: she controls, Lindsay: she puts down, and Michael: she emotionally manipulates and guilt-trips.

This show was so well-written and well-cast. Sometimes I just put it on in the background to listen to it while I do housework and occasionally I have to sneak peeks, because the visual gags are so great

[LatinaCreamQueen]

4:01 is such an underrated delivery.
"Oh my god... you still doing breakfast burritos!?" Its like shes actually happy for once.

[knittedrachael]

"it's his glasses... they make him look like a lizard" makes me laugh every single time

[auntiemame]

The breathing of smoke into her son’s mouth - and the number of times they repeated it!!! - comic gold on many levels!!!

[animalx]

The smoking bit is absolutely hilarious for how long it goes on. Completely underrated bit.

[parryyotter]

“You baited the balcony?”
_”Prove it.”_

[sablesenegal]

Jessica Walter was a natural comedic treasure. r .i p. Jessica!

[erikfreitas]

“I happen to be a more caring mother than most.”
“Where’s my bed?!”
“I put it in storage.”
Haha love that part 😁

[isabelracine]

Just noticed Lucille’s children were all born in the reverse order she likes them. It took her four tries to get a Buster, and even then she’s not satisfied.
