Which of these were the best signature traits? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

GARFIELDKOOL · 11-07-2005, 11:48 AM

Raj's laugh

Rerun's dancing

Dwayne's "uhh- uhh!"

Dee's "oooooh I'm, telling!"

I have to give the edge to Rerun's dancing, hands down. I like the other ones except for Dee's.

Yeah, that line of Dee's could get annoying real fast.

I would also like to add to the list Roger's dancing, those funny little jerky moves he makes.

What about when Raj is afraid to say something and he mumbles it?

Trishalla · 11-07-2005, 12:39 PM

for me its rerun's dancing
the first season the first episode
that just set it off for me

Brian Damage has it hands-down: whenever Raj mumbles in order to cover his tail about something that will clearly make him look bad in another person's eyes! LOL

And Dwayne's "Hey, HEY, hey!" was funny and caught on quite quickly as well! (Especially if it came with a bold and upfront entrance)

robby76 · 12-12-2005, 11:22 PM

King Of Queens did a spoof of Dee's... "Oh you're in trouble"! Which says a lot in my books!

Raj turning his chair around backwards.

In Season 3 of WH, when Big Earl always flashes the back of his badge case, instead of the badge itself...LOL

Raj was a little too old to be mumbling his words. Even Dee said so during the episode in which Raj and Rerun moved in together.

Most of the time when he did it he was trying to protect the other person from being hurt

robby76 · 12-15-2005, 11:16 AM

Yeah it wasn't like he was mumbling as in a kid mumbles, it was a "trying to break the news easily" mumble. Nothing to do with being too old... it's a well used comedy gag in many sitcoms.

I haven't seen that in any other sitcom

robby76 · 12-17-2005, 01:27 AM

Don't have time to name examples... it's like asking me to name when JJ says "Dynomite". James did mumble to Florida once if that helps. It was either S2 or S3.

...but I thought we were discussing the Signature Traits in "What's Happening"...?

Anyhow, robby, you're right about James mumbling to Florida once or twice in GT.

But back to WH: another "signature trait", although not often mentioned nor paid attention to...
Dee's cool burnt-sienna red-colored suede gum-sole shoes, and also how she tells certain people (mainly Raj), "...you're getting on my nerves..."
