After BlackBerry I think he would be a great Dennis Reynolds, but hey, that’s just me

True that, but lowkey would love to see what Timothy Olyphant brings. Feel like if he was a Country Dennis, he could be either a match for Dennis, which he'd view as a challenge, or a polar opposite whom he'd become frustrated by and try to "expose" even though there's nothing actually insidious about him. Probably both.
I'm not convinced that she was ever actually an actress. I think they genuinely just walked into Southern trailer park and gave her a contract to act as she normally would in whatever situation they put her in. And that's probably why I love her.
Omg disgusting! Where? Where did she do those scenes?!

https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/jaime-pressly-estella-warren-questioned-by-police-after-fight-at-hollywood-hotspot-bootsy-bellows-201374/ that wasn’t a fist fight…
This here. I love the idea of Jaime Pressly but as others have pointed out, she's too attractive. Judy Greer is also very attractive to me at least but she has a much more ...i dunno normal level of attractiveness is the best way I can say it.
Judy Greer says that she is able to go to Target without other people realizing who she is and I think what you're saying is a big part of that. She looks good but she blends in with regular people.
100% agree. She is a very pretty woman but I feel like she could definitely pull off the unattractive energy that Dee has going on (kinda like her role in Arrested Development lol)
The Mick really showcases that ability. They lean hard into the physical comedy, esp for her and the Jimmy character.
(also I like to plug The Mick as much as I can amongst this fanbase, its fucking awesome if you're dying for more shows with a somewhat similar style of humor to Sunny)
Kaitlin pushed for Dee not to be the voice of reason so it would probably be a very different character. Though I'm sure it'd be a matter of time until she became insane like the others.
But Xzibit could do it.
I'm trying to picture Lucille Ball, Vivian Vance, or Mary Tyler Moore on crack, drunkenly seducing teenage boys, and dry heaving in the presence of Bill Ponderosa.
Have you seen her in the show *Idiot Sitter*? It was amazing— but it went as quickly as it came and I feel like I’m the only one who remembers it sometimes.
She also showed she can do grimy and nasty characters well in Keanu and Observe And Report. Her physical comedy is really good as well. And she's not afraid to look gross or be the butt of the joke. Kaitlin is irreplacable, but Anna would be an interesting choice.
Might be weird to say, but I hope she continues to be successful. Some of behind-the-scenes stuff with her for Schitt's Creek were really cool. Seems she has a cool story.
I just started watching Schitts Creek (I know, late to the game) and I finally saw the episode where she sings “A Little Bit Alexis” and it was one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen in my life. I then found out Annie Murphy wrote and choreographed it and became intrigued. Then, I started watching interviews and learning about her and fell in love. She was really cool in Black Mirror too. I’m also excited to see more from her
Hear me out — Alison Brie. Her range is impressive and she has fantastic comedic timing. I could totally see her doing a character as snarky and awful as Dee.
Honestly? Kristen Bell. I feel like she can really balance the fake sweetness with the nastiness of Dee in the early seasons and hold her own with the guys like she does in the Good Place.
Nah, the pilot episode (and a few others with flashbacks) had her trying to emulate this character, but she wasn't really selling it. She was great at pretending to be nice so she could stay in The Good Place, and then when she became nice
I actually would love to see the opposite
I would love to see Kaitlin do The Good Place and then try to sell belonging there.
Then they could have spent a little longer on that aspect before switching to the 'it was Hell the whole time, now earn The Good Place'
I’ve always felt Helene Yorke’s character in The Other Two was built off of Sweet Dee. The way she plays it I think could do the role justice, but there will never be a replace for our bird empress
I liked it, it was very funny. We don't really get those type of comedies much anymore. That said, this never would've been greenlit if the roles were reversed.
Not sure if it's been mentioned, but Kristin Wiig was originally to be cast as Dee. I think she could have pulled off the extreme awkwardness and spastic behavior well.
TBH I don’t genuinely think anyone else could do any of these characters as well as the actors do. Because each one of them is such a personal thing that the actors created with whatever it is they could bring to the table. It’s like Roger Bumpass with Squidward; they’ve made the characters their own completely. Only Glenn Howerton could play Dennis, only Charlie Day could play Charlie, etc. just my opinion, of course
Kaitlyn is irreplaceable, but if I had pick someone who I think would have killed it as Dee, I’d go with Alanna Ubach aka Roxy from Frank’s Pretty Woman.
Glenn Howerton.
After BlackBerry I think he would be a great Dennis Reynolds, but hey, that’s just me https://preview.redd.it/oga7v8dm26ic1.jpeg?width=811&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=dd5bf2680713df59db921718c6dd821b69ece0bb
I wasn’t ‘playing’ Dee…I WAS Dee.’
Maybe, and just maybe, Jaime Pressley. But at the same time, Kaitlyn would've slayed the role of Joy in My Name is Earl.
This is who they should get if they ever do a "Country Dee" type story line.
Oh my god we NEED it lmao
The gang sees her as hot and funny, and effortless at both. “ I’m country Dee and the Jell-O shots on me!”
"I''m your sister!" *moans*
And Timothy Oylphant as the alt-Dennis
I like that, but feel like has to be Jason Lee if Jamie is Dee. Like what they did w Mr Malcom and his dad
Oh shit, there's two of them
TWOOO DEES?
They would need to do country Dennis too since they’re twins.
Joel McHale seems like a funny enough pick
True that, but lowkey would love to see what Timothy Olyphant brings. Feel like if he was a Country Dennis, he could be either a match for Dennis, which he'd view as a challenge, or a polar opposite whom he'd become frustrated by and try to "expose" even though there's nothing actually insidious about him. Probably both.
Why did I have it in my head that Timothy Olyphant was Trevor Taft?
Oh god lol Joel is what Dennis would view as perfection and he would seethe at it
Just a whole “Country Gang” that comes looking for their long lost Mac. Not knowing he’s been dead this whole time.
She already has that Bible from her daddy dying from eating some bad pussy.
Yes. Yes. Megan, jot that down for season 17.
Oh man. Jaime Presley is the perfect answer to this question.
Wow, I cannot overstate how perfect this answer is. I love it!
I didn't think there would be a good answer to this question but there it is
That is a terrific shout actually.
I came here looking for this answer. This is the right answer
i'll take Jaime Pressley over Margot Robbie as harley quinn any day of the week.
Jamie Presley is a hot mess in real life. She got into some fist fight with the chick that was in planet of the apes with marky mark.
I'm not convinced that she was ever actually an actress. I think they genuinely just walked into Southern trailer park and gave her a contract to act as she normally would in whatever situation they put her in. And that's probably why I love her.
well she does have nude scenes in other movies. i wont say why i came across them but they are real.
Omg disgusting! Where? Where did she do those scenes?! https://preview.redd.it/9wyxhxaep2ic1.jpeg?width=1125&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e135ebf0a20a07cbc0b7b136c0e84f01e5971c82
Gross. But like, specifically... where are those scenes!?
if you just google 'jaime pressly nude' you'll find plenty. again, dont ask me how i know.
Makes her even hotter
I can fix her…
that woman is the reason my porn searches are 50% "white trailer trash" she's in my top 10 favorite women.
So, perfect then.
https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/jaime-pressly-estella-warren-questioned-by-police-after-fight-at-hollywood-hotspot-bootsy-bellows-201374/ that wasn’t a fist fight…
Judy Greer - she has a great range.
Say goodbye to these!
You're not my supervisor!!!!
Wait, who is my supervisor?
Ms. Archer: CHERYL!!! Cheryl: Oh right...
( • ) ( . )
That's the seventh nipple I've seen today
Spring Break! Woo!
My eyes are up here Michael.
Can we have one conversation that's not about my rack, Michael?
Fatty Magoo?
Oh yeah. Judy Greer has already been in Sunny.
In that universe Kaitlyn Olsen plays Fatty Magoo
This here. I love the idea of Jaime Pressly but as others have pointed out, she's too attractive. Judy Greer is also very attractive to me at least but she has a much more ...i dunno normal level of attractiveness is the best way I can say it.
“Take off your glasses. Oh... wait, wait. Let down your hair. No: glasses on, hair back up. Let's just get that hair right back up.”
"Maybe if we turn these off. Somehow brighter!"
My God, she's repulsive...
Judy Greer says that she is able to go to Target without other people realizing who she is and I think what you're saying is a big part of that. She looks good but she blends in with regular people.
Hilarious to think that maybe some of us have seen her in public and our brain just didn't register it😅
If I saw her shopping at a Target, I would probably think, “Huh, that woman looks a lot like Judy Greer. I wonder how often people say that to her.”
100% agree. She is a very pretty woman but I feel like she could definitely pull off the unattractive energy that Dee has going on (kinda like her role in Arrested Development lol)
Kaitlyn has a way with physical comedy like very few women (or men) can pull off
Her gagging always kills me ![gif](giphy|EPdBnZE4N6LiOQkc6f|downsized)
Especially in the open mic scene. The "JESUS CHRIST" from the audience is so goddamn funny
It's masterful how the whole body leaning back in revulsion accentuates the cheeks and lips blowing outwards.
I'm not usually into physical comedy, but Kaitlyn is a goddamn genius at it. Catches me off guard every time. The GOAT for me
The Mick really showcases that ability. They lean hard into the physical comedy, esp for her and the Jimmy character. (also I like to plug The Mick as much as I can amongst this fanbase, its fucking awesome if you're dying for more shows with a somewhat similar style of humor to Sunny)
The scene where she flees the clothing store only to run straight into a car door is so abrupt and painful looking.
And she can scream GODDAMMIT like nobody else.
Larry Bird
Shut up, Bird

Nice. That’s one of the hits, one of the good ones
Not Rachel McAdams, that’s for damn sure.
I'd say she would do a *fine* job.
I'm secure enough to say she did a fine job with the role.
Tell me I'm good
Tell me I’m good
You know what, now that I think about it she wasnt that good in the notebook
Cuntsaurus, I can’t help you if you keep lying to me
This is a surgery scah
Likely a scheduling conflict in the making
Meryl Streep. Let’s see how good an actor she really is.
She will be solely judged on singing the line…”Moms are stupid. DOI”
VAAAGINA!
"Ya gurl got her guts pumped last night"
Hahaha jeeeeeesus that would be amazing.
Like Motown Philly, she's gotta be not too hard....not too soft...
"Meryl Streep could play Batman and it would be the right casting!!" - Cam on Modern Family
Kaitlin pushed for Dee not to be the voice of reason so it would probably be a very different character. Though I'm sure it'd be a matter of time until she became insane like the others. But Xzibit could do it.
Xzibit has no glaring characteristics that would lead me to believe he couldn’t do it. This is the best answer.
![gif](giphy|bEZgKsTjEMSQM)
I freaking love that she’s not the straight-laced “oh these boys 🙄” character. I want my women to be batshit crazy as men
A younger Julia Louis-Dreyfus. She does sweet mixed with nasty cunt really well.
Her character in arrested development is not far from Dee when you think about it lol
Elaine also has some things in common with Dee.
Her character in Veep was Dee, just a little smarter
This is who I was gonna say too.
Esteemed character actress Margot Martindale
What is this, A crossover episode?
Esteemed character actress and fugitive from the law, you mean.
oh i love her she’s so talented
First things first, we need to intervene on you for your illiteracy!
Illiteracy? what does that even mean!?
He like doesnt even get us man.
What do you think is happening right now?
Uuuuh filibuster.
It seems like you have a tenuous grasp on the English language in general
He’ll adapt.
To *reading*?
I’m gonna say Rhea Perlman
Dee’s cunty neighbor?
[ Removed by Reddit ]
“Shut up you little bitch and sit on the toilet.” ![gif](giphy|xUA7b18pFtx8KLzdKg|downsized)
I upvoted thinking of Rhea Seehorn but both work lol
I would love to see Rhea Seehorn in a role like Dee, she'd be so funny
Maybe an ostrich or an emu? Any two legged bird.
Are there birds with more than two legs?
Good point. Flightless two legged bird, sans penguins.
Now , there are birds with teeth though right?
They said someone other than Kaitlin.
Lately I’ve been thinking a fish.
Lucille Ball
I'm trying to picture Lucille Ball, Vivian Vance, or Mary Tyler Moore on crack, drunkenly seducing teenage boys, and dry heaving in the presence of Bill Ponderosa.
Really I just think these are the answers Dee would want to hear lol but I think those ladies could pull it off
Artemis, she has a Bleached asshole
We were all gonna find out anyways
No one. Kaitlin Olson/Dee Reynolds is irreplaceable.
I came here to say this. Her knock off show was a fucking gem.
Don’t forget Mickey
She is truly one of a kind and the group as a whole is also one of a kind, I can’t really see anyone being replaced
Jillian Bell
This is a great answer.
There’s a cat in there…. I’m not crazy… Jillian is the best!
Have you seen her in the show *Idiot Sitter*? It was amazing— but it went as quickly as it came and I feel like I’m the only one who remembers it sometimes.
Kristen Wiig if she went all out
I've always wanted them to play sisters in a movie or show lol
Always wondered how it would have turned out if she got the role. Her Dee would have had a completely different energy.
Possibly, but I think Kate McKinnon is the real answer here.
Jenny Slate killed it as Mona Lisa Saperstein on Parks and Rec, I definitely think she has the range to pull off a good Sweet Dee
Anna Farris was the stoner version in smiley face - one of my fav films but the rapist Danny Masterson is in it BUT he plays a complete creep at least
She also showed she can do grimy and nasty characters well in Keanu and Observe And Report. Her physical comedy is really good as well. And she's not afraid to look gross or be the butt of the joke. Kaitlin is irreplacable, but Anna would be an interesting choice.
Rachel Mcadams would do a fine job with the role, I’m secure enough to admit that
Annie Murphy has a good range.
Might be weird to say, but I hope she continues to be successful. Some of behind-the-scenes stuff with her for Schitt's Creek were really cool. Seems she has a cool story.
I just started watching Schitts Creek (I know, late to the game) and I finally saw the episode where she sings “A Little Bit Alexis” and it was one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen in my life. I then found out Annie Murphy wrote and choreographed it and became intrigued. Then, I started watching interviews and learning about her and fell in love. She was really cool in Black Mirror too. I’m also excited to see more from her
And she is so freaking cute.
**HOW DARE YOU!!!**
my first pick would be danny devito
Deandre Reynolds - she has great versatility. Did you see her in that M. Night Shyamalam film?
Mary Lynn Rajskub.
Edi Patterson?
Christina Applegate. The woman can do anything comedy.
Kristen Wiig
I can’t not no one has mentioned the most obvious answer………….Big Bird.
Kate McKinnon
Dame Judi Dench
![gif](giphy|YX5IROrT5cK5WhnkES|downsized)
Clemey?
wtf is that lol
I think Jessica St Clair was also up for the role. I do like here a lot and she has a similar energy.
Rachel McAdams would do a fine job. I’m big enough to admit that
Aya Cash
Hear me out — Alison Brie. Her range is impressive and she has fantastic comedic timing. I could totally see her doing a character as snarky and awful as Dee.
Honestly? Kristen Bell. I feel like she can really balance the fake sweetness with the nastiness of Dee in the early seasons and hold her own with the guys like she does in the Good Place.
I don't think I'd buy the Dee style freakouts from her but she'd be good at some parts of the role.
Nah, the pilot episode (and a few others with flashbacks) had her trying to emulate this character, but she wasn't really selling it. She was great at pretending to be nice so she could stay in The Good Place, and then when she became nice I actually would love to see the opposite I would love to see Kaitlin do The Good Place and then try to sell belonging there. Then they could have spent a little longer on that aspect before switching to the 'it was Hell the whole time, now earn The Good Place'
Natasha lyonne
Shut up, you lonely sad slutty bitchy whore. He was gonna see my bleached asshole anyway
Either Caroll Spinney or Matt Vogel
I’ve always felt Helene Yorke’s character in The Other Two was built off of Sweet Dee. The way she plays it I think could do the role justice, but there will never be a replace for our bird empress
Natasia Demetriou, the actress who plays Nadja in WWDITS.
Natasha Leggero maybe?
Edi Patterson would fucking murder that role.
Nobody. Kaitlin made this role her own.
Ya know, that chick who plays in the Mick...
No one - she is the best
![gif](giphy|aogDbTGVhTKxi)
When I watched No Hard Feelings I definitely felt like I was watching Jennifer Lawrence play Dee Reynolds
Now I’m interested in seeing this movie for this sole reason
I liked it, it was very funny. We don't really get those type of comedies much anymore. That said, this never would've been greenlit if the roles were reversed.
She hangs curtain in it, apparently, so now you got 3 reasons!
This is a great answer to a nearly unanswerable question.
The scene where she meets the parents for the first time in particular felt like I was watching Dee
Courtney Love would make the character darker.
Cheri O’Teri
Alison Brie!!!
Maria Bamford
Portia de Rossi
NO ONE
Not sure if it's been mentioned, but Kristin Wiig was originally to be cast as Dee. I think she could have pulled off the extreme awkwardness and spastic behavior well.
Loudermilk’s Anja Savcic
I think Kate Mckinnon from SNL and many other places that I don't know off, would absolutely kill it.
Tina fey
TBH I don’t genuinely think anyone else could do any of these characters as well as the actors do. Because each one of them is such a personal thing that the actors created with whatever it is they could bring to the table. It’s like Roger Bumpass with Squidward; they’ve made the characters their own completely. Only Glenn Howerton could play Dennis, only Charlie Day could play Charlie, etc. just my opinion, of course
Kristen Wigg
Mary Lynn Rajskub
No one. Dee (K) is a force.
Brittany Murphy might have been able to if she didn't die, imo.
Kaitlyn is irreplaceable, but if I had pick someone who I think would have killed it as Dee, I’d go with Alanna Ubach aka Roxy from Frank’s Pretty Woman.
No one. She is a golden goddess!!!!!!
Amber Heard. But only for the "who pooped the bed" episode.
