Favorite Peggy moments?


It seems like a lot of people find her to be annoying, but she is my favorite character! I think she's hilarious! The way she thinks so highly of herself, and how she's constantly tooting her own horn, combined with her pure ignorance is priceless. Peggy Hill, in my opinion, has some of the best lines in the show...

"Swing? Absolutely not! You get Nancy, and I end up with Dale? Who's the clear winner there? Dale!"

"Now, I am not a professional psychologist, but I AM an amateur psychologist..."

"Maybe I should come up with a game that other people have a chance at. It's gonna be tough to find one that doesn't give me an advantage."

"Don't worship me, worship my actions!"

"Oh no, I am going to jail"!

Because a rotting undead corpse is probably a better choice than most politicians

reply

"You don't want me. You want younger, equally pretty women".

"Winklebottom! My Winklebottom"!

crying: "Please, spare me your psychobabble".

"I don't know what it's like, because obviously I've got it going on back there". Talking to Hank about his Diminished Gluteal Syndrome.

Maybe this doesn't count as a Peggy moment, but it's all I can think of at the moment, when she questioned Hank referring to his co worker's smutty remarks as "sexual harassment".

Peggy: "Sexual harassment?"
Hank: "It's an umbrella term."

Discord: "We're still on for tea later, aren't we Fluttershy?"
Fluttershy: "I wouldn't miss it"

There's one in particular that I like.. It's when she and Hank are in the truck and the windshield is dirty.. He tells her to stick her head out the window to tell him where to drive and as her head is hanging out she yells "I can see why lady-bird likes this!"
Most of my favorite Peggy moments are when she gets humbled off her high horse.. She has ludicrous amounts of self esteem.. So naturally some of my favorite episodes are the one where she thinks she's a genius after taking an online iq test, the beauty pageant one where she duct taped her butt and feet, the one where she makes fetish movies thinking that it's an inspirational thing, the one where she meets Carolyn the drag queen and doesn't realize he's still a man, the one where she goes to work for Martinez to teach his kids Spanish and thinks he is crushing on her, Her trip to Mexico (have to say that in Peggys atrocious accent) and brings back a Mexican girl..and lastly the one where she meets Kat Savage at Bobbys cotillion class and desperately wants to become cool like her.. Every line she delivers in that is pure comedy gold.. She's by far the star of the show for me :)

With the exception of the IQ episode, those are all my favorites, too! :D

- Peggy skydiving.

- Peggy knowingly joining a cult.

- The episode where she has her birthdays ruined every year.

- Peggy kidnapping that mexican girl, getting arrested, going before the court, and still saying her spanish is flawless.

Really any moment where Peggy's ego is either publicly exposed or checked. Unfortunately the episodes always end in her favor, but small victories...

I loved when her Spanish was so bad in court that she said she was pregnant when she meant to say embarrassed! So funny. Anyone that knows a little Spanish will understand that comment. I also loved it when she thought Dale was referring to HER (so-called) "beauty" in another courtroom episode, when he was really referring to his wife, Nancy. Lol!

"Your honor, I can see that you are a reasonable horse. I'm just pregnant about what happened to Lupe. She ate my bus accident, when all I wanted to do was turn Lupe into a book. I'm too young to spend the rest of my anuses in a cigar factory."

Thank you! Great translation. :)

Peggy: "How long will it take to glue the sole onto a lady's loafer?"
Shop Assistant "That's a man's loafer."

reply

It's a uni loafer.

Droid please.

Have it your way. This is going to take awhile.

reply

One that I recall immediately is after Bobby passed out from a panic attack, Peggy comes up to him and says, "Follow my nose!" and begins to move her face erratically in front of his.

reply

While trying to soothe him with a candle, she screams, startling him brutally.

"Okay. I have burned myself. But YOU are fine!"

reply

I *beep* love Peggy. Insanely ignorant and somehow manages to bumble her way through life unaware of anything going on around her. I think what made her character so effective is that she is eerily like so many women we have all known in our lives who have way too much time on their hands and sch flawed self perceptions. And, her delusion that she was somehow fluent in Spanish, when she actually made up words as she went.

Here are some of my favorites:

On her IQ:
"There could be a margin of error... Especially when it's my own estimate."

On subbing for the Spanish club:
"And, I didn't get to be substitute teacher of the year three years in a row by taking no for an answer. Except on tests where 'no' is the correct answer. This is one of the rare occasions when you'll find the sub actually more reliable than the regular teacher, who I suspect is a drunk."

On her inability to explain what 'mitad' means in English:
"Hmmm...that's one of those words that doesn't really translate."

On losing her cool when competing for the school board:
"It's for the freaking children!"

On seeing a drag queen dressed like DIANA Ross:
"If she wasn't dead I'd swear that was the real thing."

On confessing to Mother Superior that she isn't a nun:
"I did this beacause I love to teach. Not because I hate your religion. I wanna make that very clear."

On lecturing Bobby about his future:
"Bobby...if you ever marry a Spanish teacher--and, you probably will--never doubt her enormous gifts."

I have two favories:

1) When she's doing that hand-slapping game with Bobby. Her predatory expression is priceless, she looks like a praying mantis.

2) After Marie dumps him, Peggy looms over a crying Bobby with all the triumphant bearing of a gloating harbinger of doom: "It doesn't feel so good, does it?"

reply

"Believe me, Hank, I prayed on it. And God said to me 'Don't do it.' But you know what? I knew better!"
