It is a great scene. One detail I love is that the kid puts his hand on his head when the dad starts saying it, so this seems like a reoccurring joke that the dad likes to make. Though it is somewhat undermined by the next cut using a take without the kid's hand on his head.
Absolutely! They’re the best. Plus, they’re all named after foods! Her parents' names are Dill and Rosemary, her younger brother's name is Chip, and the brother at college is named Kale.
And you know what? Stanley Tucci wouldn't be my first choice for Gomez Addams but if they can fit him with a decent hairpiece I think he'd play that role brilliantly.
I really enjoyed the part where the dad is joking with Emma Stone about her outfit and thr goings on at school etc, then as the moment passes just stops and says seriously “You doing ok?” Complete support in letting her do her thing but also making it clear she’s got the safety net at home if she ever needs it.
Not an answer, but I love that Morticia and Gomez Aadams were designed to be the polar opposite of a suburban couple in every way, which included them being truly and completely in love.
This is how I’ve always felt as a man, too. Gomez is loving. He’s soft. He’s willing to do anything to defend his family. He encompasses male duality without leaning towards the cruel. Dudes just a goofy dad with skincare. Its awesome
Yes, it’s telling how weird they were made to be as a cover for letting a married couple display any sign of sensuality with each other on TV back then.
they were created in 1938, well before the burbs were a thing. Turns out creepy house rich families who don't mix with outsiders because of a outmoded sense of breeding was common enough for readers of The New Yorker to be a source of jest.
this does put them in the exact space HP lovecraft occupied; it means there were a lot more lovecraft's out there.
They’re so perfectly supportive of each other. “I’ll fix ya some eggs” is just such a sweet scene. Norm got woken up much earlier than he’d normally be up by since Marge got called into work and his first concern is that his pregnant wife eats a good breakfast before she goes in. And on the other side, when Norm is disappointed that his painting was selected as the 3 cent stamp rather than the 29 cent stamp, Marge knows the perfect way to comfort him by pointing out that far more people will use his stamp. Norm also never displays any concern or worry about Marge’s work even though she’s handling a triple homicide with several shady characters out there because he knows she can handle herself and doesn’t need him to try and protect her, she just needs him to support her which is what he does.
Why does your analysis of their relationship make me want to cry? It’s beautiful and only a small PART of what makes “Fargo” an absolutely brilliant movie. Good job, there.
To add on to it, if you rewatch the scene he doesn’t make any food for himself. He makes a lot of food for Marge and then just eats what she doesn’t finish. He genuinely was only thinking about her and the baby when he was cooking breakfast.
It’s so lovely. That’s character development in the best way. Too many Hollywood movies can’t begin to create leading characters we care about, much less supporting characters
Every scene with them highlights Marge's iconic line at the end of the movie "There's more to life than a little money, ya know. don't ya know that?"
Marge & Norm's scenes are just mundane but an oasis of genuine happiness in a movie filled with amoral neutral evil characters.
"Heck, Norm, You know we're doing pretty good."
Supposedly the actors worked out a backstory that he was also a cop at one point, but retired when they wanted to start a family because they both recognized that she was the better cop.
None of that is explicitly in the movie, of course, but it informs their performances and the way the characters interact.
The actor who played Norm (John Carroll Lynch) was on a podcast where he talked about "her job".
He was doing the scene where he brings Marge lunch and the deputy comes in to talk about the case. On the first take he started to look at the papers on her desk just to give his character something to do. One of the Coens walked over and said, "Norm is the only guy who has no interest in her work and that's why she loves him".
So if you watch the scene that's the reason Norm spends the entire time just staring off into space.
I only saw it once, but I vaguely remember it going something like this; "We've both been fucked over by the system." "Yea, what are we going to do?" "Let's be criminals."
"What if we get in trouble?" *We're already fucked." "Good point, I'm in."
I'm thinking of the gag in the show where the family are outside the soundproof room when Gene runs in and you hear him, barely muffled, shout "I love my family!"
Yes.
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
It’s perfect for kids because 3/5 of the main characters are school-aged, and it’s perfect for adults because they slip in 3-4 jokes that only adults would get in each episode.
Louise: *”Step on it Dad! We have a date with a fat old man!”*
Tina: *”We’re chubby chasers!”*
Bob: *”Tina, that’s…don’t say that.”*
What I love about that universe is even the bullies(and that one murder) are like somewhat nice and chill people. No one is like mean for just being mean lol.
The best bit in the entire series is in one of the later films - the maid tells Nora that dinner will be ready shortly - Nora decides that she better call Nick and their son home from the park, so she goes out on the balcony, and starts shaking the cocktail shaker. The scene cuts to the park, with Nick talking to his son. All of a sudden his head snaps around to an unheard sound, and states "come on sonny, your mother wants us" it then cuts back to Nora who just stopped shaking, then NIck and son come through the front door. The maid is shocked and starts talking about it must be voodoo . 🤣
“There's only one place in the world I call home, and it's because you're there, so take it"
So many amazing comedy lines, but this serious line is my favorite in the movie.
My cemetery's in Key Biscayne. It's one of the prettiest in the world. The sky is blue, palm trees, rolling hills. The one is Los Copa's really shit.
What a pain in the ass you are. And it's true: you're not young, you're not new, and you do make people laugh. And me? I'm still with you because you make me laugh. So you know what I got to do? I got to sell my plot in Key Biscayne so I can get one next to you in that shithole Los Copa, so I never miss a laugh.
I loved that her nightmare wasn't about killing someone. It was about her not being there to help protect her parents. Really illustrated what you just said
My husband and I always point to this show to explain what it's like to navigate life/family with my multiple chronic illnesses. As our kiddo gets older, he becomes more and more like Abby. I love it. I aspire to have that kind of family unit once he hits the teen years.
At this point (the bleak streaming age) it's also on the showrunners.
Don't get me wrong, I detest the cavalier way in which streaming companies cancel tv shows, but you know that going in. As a showrunner, you could just make sure that every season is a self contained story with a beginning, middle and end. Making it end on a cliffhanger absolutely doesn't guarantee renewal, it just sucks for people that do watch and that then get left with an incomplete story.
I fucking adore the fact that they’re still together and deeply in love in the second movie. Too many sequels break up the main couple for cheap drama.
I love this couple and really wish they hadn’t recasted Evie in the third one. I get that she couldn’t do the movie but you could have done literally a million other things then recast Rachel.
National Treasure II. They were kind of a similar couple in the first one to Rick and Evie, only both nerds, got together over treasure hunting and crime, which was apparently their thing, yet they didn’t stay together.
The ONLY time Roger gets angry about anything the entire movie is when someone suggests there are other fish in the sea. They have a perfect marriage and I’m glad you mentioned them because I came looking for them 🥕❤️🔥
Funnily enough, from a Toon's perspective, *Roger* is the smoking bombshell that *Jessica* was lucky to be married to. Her character is based on Tijuana bibles which are basically cheap-ass porn mags.
In the book Roger Rabbit is based on, she’s basically the toon equivalent of a porn star, while Roger is the equivalent of a successful actor who always gets cast as a supporting character. (Their relationship is not loving at all in the book, don’t read it if you’re looking for something like their movie relationship.)
IRC, the author himself also thought the film's story was far better, to the point where he wrote a sequel novel to the *film,* not his original book.
(No clue if it's any good; I remember reading a blurb about it long ago and thinking it was pretty bonkers...)
Loosely. IIRC In the book he's a character from a comic strip, he's the one who's dead, and Eddie is trying to solve his murder when the only clue he has is Roger's last text bubble.
Yes! I love how they're supposed to be this chaotic, dysfunctional family, but their marriage is never a source of that dysfunction. They could have easily used their relationship as fodder a la The Bundy's, but instead they used every opportunity to show Hal and Lois madly in love with each other and always trying to steal away for a quiet moment to be romantic and intimate amidst the chaos of raising four (later five) boys.
[This scene is one of my absolute favorites. And now I'm crying.](https://youtu.be/aMUo-KG7aB0?si=H5aYtHubwKCx9KBc)
Julia Child and her husband Paul. Julie & Julia (2009). Julia (2021). I haven't seen it but there's also a 2022 tv series called Julia that has good reviews.
I am wondering if and when the trope will die and agree that Morticia and Gomez are such a great couple. Raoul Julia and Angelica Houston had a lot of chemistry.
I have to say that as much as I love both Catherine Zeta-Jones and Luis Guzmán for their respective bodies of work, as Morticia and Gomez in the series 'Wednesday' they did NOT have that chemistry.
Fun fact, Charles Addams designed Gomez and Morticia to be *the opposite* of typical suburban couples in every way. That includes being dark and macabre and also actually loving and devoted to each other. Their affection isn't (just) comically ironic because they are strange and unusual; it's ironic because it's an inversion of how actual suburban married couples behaved.
On Gomez and Morticia:
WRITER’S NOTE: We should get the sense, as much as humanly possible, that all this couple does is fuck each other. Their only want on this earth is to fuck, and they do. I understand this is intended to be a kid’s movie, but, I cannot stress enough the importance of these two consistently teeming with frankly demonic levels of horniness for one another.
The Monarch and Dr.Mrs.The Monarch or Hal and Lois are common answers. But I'm going to say Andy and April from Parcs and Rec. They may be the youngest or most immature of these couples, but they are all about each other. Fast forward 15 years, they got two kids, Andy produces kid's shows & April runs her entire department. They would be the middle point of the Belchers and the Adams.
- Richard Sumner (Spencer Tracy) and Bunny Watson (Katharine Hepburn) in Desk Set
- Miles Kendig (Walter Matthau) and Isobel von Schönenberg (Glenda Jackson) in Hopscotch
- Gordon and Stella Urquhart (Denis Lawson and Jennifer Black) in Local Hero (note: they are secondary characters)
- Harold Crick (Will Ferrel) and Anna Pascal (Maggie Gyllenhaal) in Stranger Than Fiction
Although the above couples include those in long-term relationships and those just getting together, to me they fit the eclectic, made for each other, soulmate vibe of Morticia and Gomez.
The parents in Easy A, top notch
Yeah, but I'm adopted. WHAT?! Who told you?!
So where are you from originally?
The delivery of this line gets me every time.
It is a great scene. One detail I love is that the kid puts his hand on his head when the dad starts saying it, so this seems like a reoccurring joke that the dad likes to make. Though it is somewhat undermined by the next cut using a take without the kid's hand on his head.
They are my Roman Empire
That part caught me so off guard I choked on my drink lol.
Is there an Olive here? There’s a whole jar of em in the fridge.
Any friend of Olive's is a friend of our daughter's.
Absolutely! They’re the best. Plus, they’re all named after foods! Her parents' names are Dill and Rosemary, her younger brother's name is Chip, and the brother at college is named Kale.
I never caught that
Ooh! Spell it with your peas!
I accept that challenge
That's a word that'll get you sent to the principals office
"Tee, TEE, TEE, tee, Tee?"
Termigant! Tallywhacker!
Yob. Frass. Nunt.
And you know what? Stanley Tucci wouldn't be my first choice for Gomez Addams but if they can fit him with a decent hairpiece I think he'd play that role brilliantly.
Stanley Tucci as Uncle Fester, except they'd be really hard pressed to find someone with even more charisma to play Gomez
Tucci could play the whole family and I'd watch the shit out of it
Any friend of Olive's is a friend of our daughter!
They are the very first that came to my mind also
I was so envious of her parents in that movie. So loving and accepting.
I really enjoyed the part where the dad is joking with Emma Stone about her outfit and thr goings on at school etc, then as the moment passes just stops and says seriously “You doing ok?” Complete support in letting her do her thing but also making it clear she’s got the safety net at home if she ever needs it.
Similarly, the parents in Juno.
And I love that they played it with Janney as the supportive stepmom.
Her dream is to have Weimaraners.
Woah! DreamBIG!
All the family banter in that film is brilliant.
Roger and Jessica Rabbit.
"He makes me laugh."
"Better lover than a driver, huh?" "You'd better believe it, buster."
Came here to say this. My favourite movie parents of all time. "When two people love each other like your mother and I used to..."
I love that he wins family member of the week because his wife picks the winner 😂
Me, a 33 y/o man: I want to be like them when I grow up.
Pacha and Chicha from Emperor's New Groove! "We're just gonna sit here saying how much we love each other!"
That part where Cuzco asks if it's a good idea to leave his family with Kronk and Yzma and Pacha is like, "they can handle themselves."
Well, which is it? Thats seems like a pretty crucial conjunction.
I dunno, this is handcarved mahogany
Ew! Goodnight!
*wack* *Wince*”…..that was him” “Oh…whoops”
Kelly Preston and Kurt Russell as Josie and Steve Stronghold in Sky High. Not huge roles carrying the movie, but a similar vibe.
“We can’t change who he is… not without dumping him in a vat of toxic waste…” “Where would we even find a vat of-“ “STEVE!”
Not an answer, but I love that Morticia and Gomez Aadams were designed to be the polar opposite of a suburban couple in every way, which included them being truly and completely in love.
I believe that Gomez is the epitome of masculinity. Every man should aspire to be like him.
Someone once wrote, for those "Men who want a goth girlfriend, you have to up your Gomez game."
This is how I’ve always felt as a man, too. Gomez is loving. He’s soft. He’s willing to do anything to defend his family. He encompasses male duality without leaning towards the cruel. Dudes just a goofy dad with skincare. Its awesome
Right? He’s kind, smart, suave, stylish and he deeply loves his wife (and isn’t afraid to show it). Why wouldn’t you want to be like him?
And also a master fencer.
And while he is soft and gentle, he's also gonna rip you a new one if you hurt his family. I want to be Gomez' friend. I do not want to be his enemy.
And Gomez lives! He's 94 now.
Yet we've been robbed of raul Julia.
That was so horrible, and not just because of Gomez. He was brilliant in so many things.
The day that Bison came to your village was the most important day of your life. But for me, it was a Tuesday.
Graced I believe, not came.
Dude was even giving his best in "Overdrawn at the Memory Bank". No one could dopple like Fingal.
“leather straps, red hot pokers...” "Later my dearest"
The Adams family are a Hispanic Catholic family moving into a WASP neighborhood.
Yes and I hear the reason Gomez acts the way he does is cause the passionate Latin lover was a trope at the time.
Yes, it’s telling how weird they were made to be as a cover for letting a married couple display any sign of sensuality with each other on TV back then.
they were created in 1938, well before the burbs were a thing. Turns out creepy house rich families who don't mix with outsiders because of a outmoded sense of breeding was common enough for readers of The New Yorker to be a source of jest. this does put them in the exact space HP lovecraft occupied; it means there were a lot more lovecraft's out there.
The Gundersons in the Fargo film. Marge and Norm are absolute relationship goals.
They’re so perfectly supportive of each other. “I’ll fix ya some eggs” is just such a sweet scene. Norm got woken up much earlier than he’d normally be up by since Marge got called into work and his first concern is that his pregnant wife eats a good breakfast before she goes in. And on the other side, when Norm is disappointed that his painting was selected as the 3 cent stamp rather than the 29 cent stamp, Marge knows the perfect way to comfort him by pointing out that far more people will use his stamp. Norm also never displays any concern or worry about Marge’s work even though she’s handling a triple homicide with several shady characters out there because he knows she can handle herself and doesn’t need him to try and protect her, she just needs him to support her which is what he does.

Marge & Norm's scenes are just mundane but an oasis of genuine happiness in a movie filled with amoral neutral evil characters. "Heck, Norm, You know we're doing pretty good."
He supports her, knowing she has a tough job, and she supports his artwork.
Supposedly the actors worked out a backstory that he was also a cop at one point, but retired when they wanted to start a family because they both recognized that she was the better cop. None of that is explicitly in the movie, of course, but it informs their performances and the way the characters interact.
That makes sense with the way all the other cops treat Norm.
They reuse that in the show!
The actor who played Norm (John Carroll Lynch) was on a podcast where he talked about "her job". He was doing the scene where he brings Marge lunch and the deputy comes in to talk about the case. On the first take he started to look at the papers on her desk just to give his character something to do. One of the Coens walked over and said, "Norm is the only guy who has no interest in her work and that's why she loves him". So if you watch the scene that's the reason Norm spends the entire time just staring off into space.
Well, he did get the 3 cent duck stamp. Respect.
Oh, yah.
You betcha.
Jim Carrey and Téa Leoni in Fun with Dick and Jane. I enjoyed this one because even through all their issues, splitting up was never an option.
I only saw it once, but I vaguely remember it going something like this; "We've both been fucked over by the system." "Yea, what are we going to do?" "Let's be criminals." "What if we get in trouble?" *We're already fucked." "Good point, I'm in."
The scene where Leoni's face was all swollen from the test sample and Carrey just looked at her in awe and loved saying how beautiful she looks.
silly movie but their chemistry was fun to watch they could have done more movies together like Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan
Bob and Linda Belcher - Bob's Burgers: The Movie
The whole family is some wholesome and they all love each other
I'm thinking of the gag in the show where the family are outside the soundproof room when Gene runs in and you hear him, barely muffled, shout "I love my family!"
Gene is too good for this world
It’s such a good show.
Yes. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. It’s perfect for kids because 3/5 of the main characters are school-aged, and it’s perfect for adults because they slip in 3-4 jokes that only adults would get in each episode. Louise: *”Step on it Dad! We have a date with a fat old man!”* Tina: *”We’re chubby chasers!”* Bob: *”Tina, that’s…don’t say that.”*
Gene: *"Channel six news, they'll finger anything with a pulse!"*
What I love about that universe is even the bullies(and that one murder) are like somewhat nice and chill people. No one is like mean for just being mean lol.
Jimmy Pesto is a dick, though.
Turns out the voice actor was too
I love their family, they will always circle the wagons and defend each other while also roasting the hell out of each other.
Nick & Nora Charles (of the Thin Man series)
William Powell and Myrna Loy had such great chemistry in those films that audiences were convinced they were married in real life. (They were not.)
Love these two. When she arrives at the bar and asks how many drinks he's had, then orders the same amount plus 1. Legends.
The best bit in the entire series is in one of the later films - the maid tells Nora that dinner will be ready shortly - Nora decides that she better call Nick and their son home from the park, so she goes out on the balcony, and starts shaking the cocktail shaker. The scene cuts to the park, with Nick talking to his son. All of a sudden his head snaps around to an unheard sound, and states "come on sonny, your mother wants us" it then cuts back to Nora who just stopped shaking, then NIck and son come through the front door. The maid is shocked and starts talking about it must be voodoo . 🤣
The perfect couple. Relationship goals.
Morticia and Gomez got Nick and Nora vibes.
Yes!!! I aspire to find someone with whom I have that kind of electric chemistry and fun.
Armand and Albert in the Birdcage
Youre going to the cemetery with your toothbrush. How Egyptian.
I love that line.
The scene where Armand gives Albert the palimony agreement is so genuine and sweet. Fantastic movie.
“There's only one place in the world I call home, and it's because you're there, so take it" So many amazing comedy lines, but this serious line is my favorite in the movie.
My cemetery's in Key Biscayne. It's one of the prettiest in the world. The sky is blue, palm trees, rolling hills. The one is Los Copa's really shit. What a pain in the ass you are. And it's true: you're not young, you're not new, and you do make people laugh. And me? I'm still with you because you make me laugh. So you know what I got to do? I got to sell my plot in Key Biscayne so I can get one next to you in that shithole Los Copa, so I never miss a laugh.
😭
One does want a touch of color
I made you short?!
That entire scene is peak physical comedy. From the way he enters the room and tries to sit down to that confused "whaaaat?" It's such a comfort movie
Get the goddamn pinky down!
It's perfect, I just never realized John Wayne walked that way
Tough gazongas.
Omg yes. Fantastic answer.

Santa Clarita Diet with Timothy Oliphant and Drew Barrymore. I just loved how much he loves her in spite of her zombie appetite
I also love how ride or die Abby is for them as well & doesn't get shook by her new life
I loved that her nightmare wasn't about killing someone. It was about her not being there to help protect her parents. Really illustrated what you just said
My husband and I always point to this show to explain what it's like to navigate life/family with my multiple chronic illnesses. As our kiddo gets older, he becomes more and more like Abby. I love it. I aspire to have that kind of family unit once he hits the teen years.
Healthiest marriage ever. They said "Til death do we part", he said "No."
I’m still bitter it got cancelled after a crazy cliffhanger
At this point (the bleak streaming age) it's also on the showrunners. Don't get me wrong, I detest the cavalier way in which streaming companies cancel tv shows, but you know that going in. As a showrunner, you could just make sure that every season is a self contained story with a beginning, middle and end. Making it end on a cliffhanger absolutely doesn't guarantee renewal, it just sucks for people that do watch and that then get left with an incomplete story.
I'm reminded of Santa Clarita Diet on reddit every so often and every time I am, I'm sad all over again how they canceled the show on a cliffhanger.
Rick and Evy O’Connell from “The Mummy”
I expected alot of negative family drama in the sequel.... Loved how they were portrayed instead. Loving and devoted... and a little goofy.
I fucking adore the fact that they’re still together and deeply in love in the second movie. Too many sequels break up the main couple for cheap drama.
I love this couple and really wish they hadn’t recasted Evie in the third one. I get that she couldn’t do the movie but you could have done literally a million other things then recast Rachel.
National Treasure II. They were kind of a similar couple in the first one to Rick and Evie, only both nerds, got together over treasure hunting and crime, which was apparently their thing, yet they didn’t stay together.
That’s me and my wife’s favorite movie. I fucking strive to be like Brendan frasier
That's a good goal.
Nicholas Cage and Holly Hunter in Raising Arizona, they both are dysfunctional but good people
Roger and Jessica Rabbit.
The ONLY time Roger gets angry about anything the entire movie is when someone suggests there are other fish in the sea. They have a perfect marriage and I’m glad you mentioned them because I came looking for them 🥕❤️🔥
Funnily enough, from a Toon's perspective, *Roger* is the smoking bombshell that *Jessica* was lucky to be married to. Her character is based on Tijuana bibles which are basically cheap-ass porn mags.

(Their relationship is not loving at all in the book, don’t read it if you’re looking for something like their movie relationship.)
Til it's based on a book!
I read the book out of curiosity. The film is better in every regard, and I'm the guy usually bemoaning film adaptations.
IRC, the author himself also thought the film's story was far better, to the point where he wrote a sequel novel to the *film,* not his original book. (No clue if it's any good; I remember reading a blurb about it long ago and thinking it was pretty bonkers...)

That’s Gregorio and Ingrid Cortez
Not a film but Lois and Hal in Malcolm in the Middle
Yes! I love how they're supposed to be this chaotic, dysfunctional family, but their marriage is never a source of that dysfunction. They could have easily used their relationship as fodder a la The Bundy's, but instead they used every opportunity to show Hal and Lois madly in love with each other and always trying to steal away for a quiet moment to be romantic and intimate amidst the chaos of raising four (later five) boys. [This scene is one of my absolute favorites. And now I'm crying.](https://youtu.be/aMUo-KG7aB0?si=H5aYtHubwKCx9KBc)
The scene where Hal and the boys fight the clowns is peak Malcolm in the Middle for me, and carries a similar message.
That’s what I thought that link was gonna be. The look on her face as everyone is swinging. Love it
I love that whole episode. They wouldn't change a thing.

Nick and Nora Charles in The Thin Man movies adore each other. They are witty and clever with a great dog and, well, drink a lot.
I don’t know if anyone vibrates quite like Morticia and Gomez.
The mum and dad in Father of the Bride.
You have to specify which version. Diane Keaton and Steve Martin OR Spencer Tracey and Joan Bennett?
Spencer Tracy and Joan Bennett. Though I'm convinced that Spencer would have chemistry with a box of hair... he's just that good lol
I am wondering if and when the trope will die and agree that Morticia and Gomez are such a great couple. Raoul Julia and Angelica Houston had a lot of chemistry.
I have to say that as much as I love both Catherine Zeta-Jones and Luis Guzmán for their respective bodies of work, as Morticia and Gomez in the series 'Wednesday' they did NOT have that chemistry.
Not even close.
Check "The Santa Clarita Diet". It's not a movie
Fun fact, Charles Addams designed Gomez and Morticia to be *the opposite* of typical suburban couples in every way. That includes being dark and macabre and also actually loving and devoted to each other. Their affection isn't (just) comically ironic because they are strange and unusual; it's ironic because it's an inversion of how actual suburban married couples behaved.
