A flustered Alice from Brady Bunch, arms in the air, going “oh FFS.”
“Felix - clean my ashtray one more fuckin’ time and I’ll put it sideways up that fruity fuckin’ ass o’yours.”
Instead of Richie standing up to the Fonz by saying “Sit on it, Fonzie”:eek:, I was kinda hoping for something more along the lines of:

MSW’s Angela Lansbury getting in a profanity-laced yelling match with an early morning municipal waste worker.

Showing signs of mental instability in Father Knows Best, a smiling, avuncular Robert Young offers (“The Appletons”-style): “Ok, you useless little fucks, how about we get our shit together now, possibly.”

mmm
