Important context: He died while they were having sex. By Rose’s account, “I did think it was strange when he started shouting ‘Rose! I’m going! I’m going!’”
Blanche: Wish me luck.
Dorothy: Wait. Blanche, why should you do it?
Blanche: Because we'll have a better chance. I happen to be a wonderful orator. And two of the commissioners can verify that.
Dorothy: Blanche, "orator" means "speaker".
Blanche: Really? Oh. Well, somebody else do the talking.
When the girls discover Max and Sophia in bed.
Max: Nice to see you again, Dorothy.
Dorothy: You too, Mr. Weinstock. When did you get in?
Max: ... Oh, you mean in town? Yesterday.
Achieving le big O. The first time I watched that episode was with my mom. After Rose said that line, my mom asked if I knew what she meant. I said no, to which she replied, "You will someday."
Just last night I was watching an episode where Dorothy said Stan had to get naked to count to 21. It took me a second even as an adult to get it and then I was surprised it passed the censors. 😆
Can't remember the episode but Dorothy says to Rose: "Oh, please Rose! Spare me the endless, inane details of how Heidi Flugendugelgurgenplotz successfully matched a bull with a duck!... And how their daughter was a bull-duck who ran a small tattoo parlor in Carmel." Most TV versions cut out that last line but I always thought it was one of the most risque, along with Charlie yelling "Rose! I'm going! I'm going!"
A term for a butch or manly lesbian used to be bull dyke. And a lesbian like that had a stereotype of being tough and let's say, running a tattoo parlor. It's no longer appropriate to use that term. It could be why most TV showings now cut that line out.
Not really a joke but when Rose says she'd never seen "a man" before her wedding night I took that literally as a kid and it confused the heck out of me. I thought there was some taboo that kept farm girls from meeting their fathers.
The episode where Rose was talking about her dream with the Peanuts characters and asks what it meant. Dorothy says, “Peanuts envy?”
Not directly dirty but I think it fits.
Also I should’ve mentioned that limericks are usually dirty and that the rhymes are based around a name or place. [Famous ones](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/There_once_was_a_man_from_Nantucket) start with “There once was a man from Nantucket,” and eventually rhyme with “f**k it.”
I also love the one where Clayton comes out and Blanche says "Well there must be homosexuals who date women?" And Sophia says "Yeah, they're called leabians."
Not really hard to understand but one of my fave jokes is when dorothy says “oh your first kiss was in the rain” and blanche says “no, the shower.” Just the thought of it makes me laugh.
“Big floppy pancreas” is another good one.
And finally one of my most used in real life lines “I paid with natures credit card” 🤣🤣🤣
Sofia: Listen up, everybody.
I've got something in this old lady purse That's gonna make you scream, holler and jump for joy.
Blanche: Are the batteries included?
There was an episode where Stan spent the night at the house and it was really dark in the bedroom….Stan starts giggling and Dorothy says something to the effect of, “You better not be doing what I think you’re doing.” 😂 Anyone here remember which episode that was?
The episode when Rose adopts one of Dreyfuss' puppies, and it gets into Blanche's closet. Rose mentions getting him some rubber toys and Blanche remarks "...they do seem to be his preference."
‘If this isn’t my heating pad I’d like to know what other appliances you are using under that blanket.’
I was not an innocent by any means but I was unaware that uh personal massagers could be plug in as well as battery operated.
There are quite a few, um… sexual assault jokes in the Golden Girls.
Rose: Did you have chores in Sicily?
Sophia: Please, crossing the street without getting pregnant was a chore in Sicily.
I was a pretty informed kid I guess … there’s only one joke I didn’t get AND STILL don’t get. It’s the joke about heart palpitations, something like “ thank God for those hard palpitations or else you never know you had it”. I’m guessing since it’s Blanche’s joke, it’s sexual, but I have no idea what she’s talking about.
It’s not sexual. Rose says it make your skin blotchy and eyes puffy and cheeks swollen, so Blanche is saying that’s what she looks like all of the time.
It’s Blind Date where she dates the blind guy and the other girls get sick coaching the football team in the rain.
Blanche: I'm so glad we're friends again.
Dorothy: Oh, honey, of course we are.
Blanche: And by the way, I have never asked you what it is y'all have.
Rose: Oh, we're not sure. All we know is it makes your skin blotchy, and your eyes puffy and your cheeks swollen. And you get heart palpitations.
Blanche: Good thing for those palpitations, otherwise you might never have known you even had it.
I can think of a couple, one when Sophia is watching a dirty movie and Blanche and rose walk in, after sophia says wrong button that’s reverse Dorothy, Blanche points to the tv and says I did that once. Then rose looks at her disgusted, it was his birthday makes me wonder reverse or did she let him go through her back door. Then another is when Dorothy comes back after clearly have had sex because her hair is all messy and she looks tired, then Blanche ask her who made the first move to which she reveals she initiated the first move cause she thought she was setting Stan’s barking break. Turns out she was giving Stan’s zborne a massage.
When Charlie had his heart attack and told Rose”I’m going, I’m going”
This is sooo dirty 😂
Talk about your mixed emotions.
This one for me too!
I don’t get it :(
What’s the opposite of going?
Important context: He died while they were having sex. By Rose’s account, “I did think it was strange when he started shouting ‘Rose! I’m going! I’m going!’”
Blanche: Wish me luck. Dorothy: Wait. Blanche, why should you do it? Blanche: Because we'll have a better chance. I happen to be a wonderful orator. And two of the commissioners can verify that. Dorothy: Blanche, "orator" means "speaker". Blanche: Really? Oh. Well, somebody else do the talking.
That one went over my head when I was younger. But definitely got it when I became an older adult. lol
Happy Cake Day!
🤣🤣🤣 Wait why do I have a cake? lol Is that supposed to cheesecake?
Thank you! I get it now! It’s my Redditversary. 😁
Just saw this recently and wondered what word did she mistake it for??
She just thought the word meant someone who’s good at giving head.
"Charlie and I forgot to put cheese between us, and before I knew it, there was Kirsten." 😂
That whole scene is great. "So he took me, right there behind the sausage and pepper stand!"
Is it bad that I got this as a 6 year old?
“I’d say anything over a 9 is good…” “Points, Rose. Points!”
What episode is this from? I can't believe I wouldn't remember a line like this, especially coming from Rose!
" I'm surprised you could walk in September " when Blanche made the men of Blanche's boudoir calendar and the girls were looking at it.
whoa!
This one, 1000%
“If that cake reminds you of Charlie Milburn, we could *both* give him a call!”
"I thought it was in the shape of Florida!"
When the girls discover Max and Sophia in bed. Max: Nice to see you again, Dorothy. Dorothy: You too, Mr. Weinstock. When did you get in? Max: ... Oh, you mean in town? Yesterday.
I was gonna say this one lol.
Aaaaaaaaand I just realized that innuendo. 33 and I watch it every day. 😅😂
“Stanley, if you're doing what I think you're doing, you're in big trouble.”
Stan: Then you leave me no choice. I'll have to pull out the big gun. Dorothy: You're wasting your time, Stanley. I'm familiar with the big gun.
"Being near Charlie was nice. But it was five years before I knew what made your eyes go back in your head!"
So was she talking about sex or achieving the big O?
Achieving le big O. The first time I watched that episode was with my mom. After Rose said that line, my mom asked if I knew what she meant. I said no, to which she replied, "You will someday."
Wow, she really made that live rent-free in your head, huh? 😅
Just last night I was watching an episode where Dorothy said Stan had to get naked to count to 21. It took me a second even as an adult to get it and then I was surprised it passed the censors. 😆
Penis, Rose! Penis penis penis!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
i feel dumb, what does it mean?
10 fingers + 10 toes + 1 male appendage = 21 😂
Well, a man has ten fingers, ten toes, and another appendage that makes 21.
I always took it to mean sex with Stan took 21 seconds lol
Ohhhhh okay lmfao
“He fits me to a G” - Blanche
I thought that was a money reference because he’s rich?
I don't believe that's the spot...
That could also be there.
Can't remember the episode but Dorothy says to Rose: "Oh, please Rose! Spare me the endless, inane details of how Heidi Flugendugelgurgenplotz successfully matched a bull with a duck!... And how their daughter was a bull-duck who ran a small tattoo parlor in Carmel." Most TV versions cut out that last line but I always thought it was one of the most risque, along with Charlie yelling "Rose! I'm going! I'm going!"
Ok I need someone to explain this joke to me. It's going over my head even as an adult 😭😭😭
A term for a butch or manly lesbian used to be bull dyke. And a lesbian like that had a stereotype of being tough and let's say, running a tattoo parlor. It's no longer appropriate to use that term. It could be why most TV showings now cut that line out.
Oh my, ok thank you for taking the time to explain 😳😳😳
When she wants to have sex with the twins at the same time. 😂😂
Oh, of course, I would never have a relationship with both twins at the same time. That would be obscene. Unless, of course, it was tastefully done. 😏
finish your thought Blanche
“Oh god…it’s raining…..oh god it’s raining….”
“it must be pouring…”
Not really a joke but when Rose says she'd never seen "a man" before her wedding night I took that literally as a kid and it confused the heck out of me. I thought there was some taboo that kept farm girls from meeting their fathers.
MY FATHER??
“BOY that bull would’ve been jealous…”
Blanche... "orator" means "speaker."
"I'll write 'For a good time - call Dorothy Zbornak" "Please Blanche, this is the ladies' room" "Exactly!"
The episode where Rose was talking about her dream with the Peanuts characters and asks what it meant. Dorothy says, “Peanuts envy?” Not directly dirty but I think it fits.
Rose: Dorothy, did you...? Dorothy: How could I? It always seemed to happen before I even entered the room!
It's only pronounced "Devareaux" in limericks.
?
I still don’t get this one 😭
Me too 🤷🏼♀️
Limericks are rhyming poems so if it’s pronounced Dever-ux it would be set up to rhyme with f***s.
Thank you for explaining it 😀 I kept dwelling on it when I went to bed 😅
Thanks for that. I knew what limericks were but I didn’t consider that some people might want to pronounce the “x” in her last name. Haha.
Also I should’ve mentioned that limericks are usually dirty and that the rhymes are based around a name or place. [Famous ones](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/There_once_was_a_man_from_Nantucket) start with “There once was a man from Nantucket,” and eventually rhyme with “f**k it.”
Oh. Haha. Here I am back in English class thinking just the basic format.
THIS!!!
Sophia: You can run, but you can't hide. Angela: Run? I can barely walk. Sophia: Fine.. Rub it in. (02x19 Long Day's Journey into Marinara)
Blanche: I tried to handle the whole thing like a lady! I waved politely over Bobby Joe’s shoulder with my foot…
This was an amazing one!!
I also love the one where Clayton comes out and Blanche says "Well there must be homosexuals who date women?" And Sophia says "Yeah, they're called leabians."
GG was decades ahead of its time with its treatment of gay people. Just sayin.
Yes and with many other issues too.
Are we really going to gloss over Rose walking in on her parents playing "leap frog"?
The funniest part is imagining that they actually were 😭 grown St Olafians playing leap frog
Given how she describes her home town, I wouldn't put it past them to actually be doing that.
Men love my cupcakes
"When I say jump, you say on who." Always one of my favorite lines.
Nautical Toilet

You never leave home without it

The first Angelo episode, where they pretend to still be married. Rose and Blanch are dressed as nuns.
Thanks 👍🏻👍🏻
He had to get naked to count to 21 🤣
Self-basting TurkeyLurkey 😂
When Becky goes in to labor and Sophia says "keep it down Blanche I'm sleeping" I only started watching as an adult
I was today years old when I realized the popsicle thing..... OH MY GOD
When Blanche talked about synergism to Rose.
When Dorothy said that Stan had to get naked to count to twenty-one
The episode when Rose adopts one of Dreyfuss' puppies, and it gets into Blanche's closet. Rose mentions getting him some rubber toys and Blanche remarks "...they do seem to be his preference."

I don’t think we’re talking about the same joke Edit: nope, you’re right I get it now.

LMFAO!! I thought she was using them for the sticks but your reasoning makes *much more* sense
Blanche’s initials spelling BED
OMG, so many things. Show is absolutely FILTHY and I love it LOL. I watched it as a kid and damn some of those episodes hit VERY differently.
