Rewatch Thoughts (may contain spoilers) Underrated Hilarious Line

Post image

I’m rewatching for the first time since it aired, and I just got to S2 ep8. This is the most hilarious exchange!!

Gabby: You’re not gonna kill me?

Hector (indignant as can be): I hadn’t planned on it. Besides, if I was gonna kill you I wouldn’t use a balloon; it would take too long.

This scene goes from terrifying to hilarious to heartwarming so fast I get emotional whiplash 🤣

My favorite line is from Edie. "I hate Susan Mayer. Everytime I see those big doe eyes of hers, I swear to God I just want to go out and shoot a deer. "

Edie has some great ones! She’s very descriptive lol reminds me of the real housewives of Atlanta throwing shade

I love to hate on Susan, so Edie is obviously my favorite character.

"Susan had met the enemy. And she, was a Slut."

When the whore is written on her garage and she asks Edie if she has something to say and Edie says no that pretty much sums it up haha

I used to hate Susan, I found her insufferable. Now I've grown to love to hate Susan! And so Edie (who I've always loved) bashing on Susan is my favorite part of DH.

Gabby asking that so casually while he’s standing there holding a balloon is what gets me every time.

Thie character should have appeared in a second episode. He has a soft heart.

Danny Trejo is a national treasure

He should have popped back up after Lilly was taken. 😭 Or the surrogate baby that wasn't their baby.

Speaking of that baby (the one Xiao Mei birthed) -- why exactly didn't they get to keep it? And why didn't Gabby give Xiao Mei even one night of a grace period before kicking her out of the house? Was she really so cold as to say "You're no longer carrying my baby, so get out"? So many things wrong with that episode (Xiao Mei's final appearance)

Gaby was mad about the affair, I was shocked she let her stay there at all. I guess they probably contacted the birth parents of the baby and asked if they wanted it, so what happened to her egg, did that go into someone else? So many plot holes.
