View Full Version : Annnoying Mother in Laws/Mothers on a sitcom
Alice mother on the honeymooners, drove Ralf, thru the roof.
Bob's mother always got on Bob and Emily nerves on the Bob Newhart Show.
Geaoge's Mother, Mother Jefferson, drove Louise insane on the Jeffersons.
Iris, Muriel's Mother and Henry hated one another on Too Close for Comfort.
principehomura 05-01-2011, 02:45 PM Jack's mother in law in 'Unhappily ever after'.
Judy Geller was kinda annoying, especially for Monica, in 'Friends'.
Also Roseanne and Jackie's mother in 'Roseanne'.
But these two were annoying for the characters, not for the public (not so much, at least :P).

Schmoopie 05-02-2011, 04:32 AM I don't really care for Daphne's mom on Frasier, but I don't think Daphne does either!
ComedyGuy 05-02-2011, 08:18 AM Why are there up to 7 answers in some replies ???
That will cause the thread to end alot sooner then expected.
Buddy Sorrell (Dick Van Dyke) never liked Pickles mother even though they never showed her on the show, just Buddy's remarks about his mother in law suggested that he disliked her.
I am sure if this thread was about hated/annoying in-laws in general then there might be more interesting replies.
Marvo301 05-02-2011, 02:16 PM Howard Wolowitz's mom on Big Bang Theory!
catlover79 05-02-2011, 03:00 PM Ann Romano and her mother on One Day at a Time always seemed to be at odds as well.

Yeah, but it was a little disappointing to FINALLY see her onscreen and find out that she was so...ordinary. Just another run-of-the-mill, stock sitcom character.
Marvo301 05-02-2011, 04:19 PM Yeah, but it was a little disappointing to FINALLY see her onscreen and find out that she was so...ordinary. Just another run-of-the-mill, stock sitcom character.
I agree!

catlover79 05-02-2011, 08:37 PM Al's mom (Home Improvement) - although invisible, there were many references to how overbearing she was - and that Al was often caught in the middle with her and his girlfriend, Ilene.
McGillicuddy 05-02-2011, 08:43 PM Both the mothers of Mr. and Mrs. Foreman on That 70's Show (Played by Marion Ross and Betty White), were a pain to the family!
Frane's Mother on the nanny

stevea 05-03-2011, 01:56 PM Alice's mother on The Honeymooners. But the all-time worst has to be the above-mentioned Marie Barone.

Sorry, this was the first post...wish I could delete this! But let's go with Evelyn Harper, Chalie and Alan's mom on 2-1/2 Men.
Marvo301 05-03-2011, 02:12 PM I don't think I've ever seen a more annoying Mother than Harriet Olsen on LHOP! (and after Nellie married Percival she was also a Mother-in-law)
ComedyGuy 05-04-2011, 08:57 AM What about Howard Sprague's mom on TAGS she babied him and she was annoying as hell IMHO.
catlover79 05-04-2011, 02:39 PM Even though she was (literally!) a dinosaur, I think Grandma Ethyl (voiced by the late, great Florence Stanley) from Dinosaurs belongs on this list!!! :lol:
CaliforniaKid 05-05-2011, 11:52 PM Yeah, but it was a little disappointing to FINALLY see her onscreen and find out that she was so...ordinary. Just another run-of-the-mill, stock sitcom character.
I dont think Billie Bird is your run of the mill stock sitcom character, she was great in Benson and Dear John as well as Sixteen Candles and many other things.
