LOL, my favorite "DW" character is without a doubt Bernice! LOL, she is so lovable and hilarious. Alice Ghostley is such a wonderful actress and really can make people laugh. If anyone has some classic Bernice quotes, PLEASE post some. I love quotes and I don't really have any for Bernice and would love to read some.

you could go to the DW tribute page and look under funny quotes and i am almost positive that there are some bernice quotes on there....hope this helps!

She was excellent with her top-notch one-liners and fun pratfalls....but the character was just played off of that, and had no emotions whatsoever. The writers eventually gave all of the funny lines to her, but it still wasn't enough...her character needed the heart that it deserved, and it instead played out as a light-headed old lady....Ms. Ghostley did try her best though.

BonniesLilCutiePie · 12-23-2002, 07:24 AM

I loved her in "How Great Thou Art"

Rhiannon · 01-04-2003, 09:49 PM

I think it's funny that alcohol has the opposite affect on Bernice.

MonarC · 03-21-2003, 09:51 AM

yeah she is so funny

"Black man black man where did u come from, black man black man where did u go..."

Bad_Company · 03-26-2003, 01:06 PM

Yeah

she was always singing that black man song. Then when Anthony was dating that girl Vanessa she sang :
"black girl black girl where did u come from "

then on one episode they are spending the night at Carlene's in that bad neighborhood. And Bernice keeps calling anthony Mandingo.
""don't mess with me mandingo i'll cut u"

Remember the epi when they all went to vegas. Anthony gets drunk and ends up getting married... Then BJ suggests that Anthony could buy off his new bride... But he has to go down to the lobby in his undies and buy a magazine!!

Then Bernice says "i'll throw in 10$ if u go naked"

That one is on right now.

The best one by far, Bernice or not, was when Mary Jo and Julia were stuck under Chucks bed. By far the best episode there is.

MonarC · 04-01-2003, 03:32 PM

when they were so hungry that they ate the "jellies of the world" lol

YEs that's the one.

"If I have to hear OH CHUCK ONE MORE TIME..."

I literally was laughing outloud at that episode.

MonarC · 04-25-2003, 02:08 PM

I can't wait till i see that one again...

GiniX · 12-05-2003, 01:33 AM

I love the episode where Bernice wears the Christmas tree skirt.....anyone know where I can find a picture of that?!!!! I've been looking everywhere!

TDfan69 · 12-25-2003, 08:24 PM

Not sure where you could find a pic, but I know in the DW reunion show, they play a clip with her wearing the skirt. That was SOOOO funny!

I love Bernice too! She and Suzanne are my favs...anyway, my fav moment is from that same Las Vegas 2-parter that somebody else mentioned. It's the beginning of the second one...

Julia: Well I can't, I just can not believe this!
Bernice: Then don't, I don't...when bad things happen I just don't believe 'em...basically, I haven't believed anything bad since the Cuban Missile Crisis.
Julia: Bernice, I realize this is not your area of expertise but we're dealin' with reality here!
(the best quote) Bernice: Reality, is a suckers game...homey don't play that!

I actually tape recorded that and listen to that segment all the time when I need a quick laugh...classic!
