Was it Mary? Rhoda? Phyllis? Sue Anne? Georgette?

Each had their moments, but if I had to pick one I'd say Georgette. Once in a while on the show, she can say something really out of left field that can crack you up (at least in my opinion anyways)

Have to say Rhoda and Phyllis cracked me up from the start of the show but

Mary was great when being flustered,I also loved it when she lost it with Ted

when he stole her story in the evening class!

I agree with Rich. All though all these ladies were funny Georgette was the one who could really make us laugh!!

I think Rhoda was the funniest, and Phyllis. Love those two!

And later, Sue Ann was hysterical too.

Georgette.

Yes I agree with the lengendary Betty White was a great addition in later seasons as the man hungry Sue-Ann.

I love how Lou was scared of her lol!

All of the ladies had their moments, but I think the overall funniest was Rhoda. Most of what she said were funny one liners, and Valerie Harper delivered them well. Maybe it was her New York-ness that I liked.
