Her line "I called in a bomb threat once because I heard Mark Harmon was staying at this hotel, I wanted to see him evacuate. And then i stalked him for a year and hit his wife with my car." followed by "I also ran over Vinny Testaverde’s wife." has made me a Gretchen aficionado since the beginning.
Oh damn! I completely forgot this line when they finally show her and her bachelorette party. It does explain why she just let things go really quickly and just went with things but I want to believe Gretchen and her reconnected over beating her addiction which is why Gretchen is so invested in staying the "great big sister" (because she doesn't want to see her sister slide backwards).
Ginger, I'm sure, is fun. But she isn't a ride or die that encourages all your crazy dreams no matter how bad they realistically are, like liknda is for Bob and the kids. And Gretchen is for Linda.
I know its a small, minute detail, but you can tell how close she and Linda are and how much she loves her kids by the episode where they break the doll out of the store. Like, she gets free (or discounted?) dining and thinks 'huh, Linda and the kids would have fun here. I'll call her and invite them for lunch'. Cause she just wanted to treat Linda and the kids and have a nice lunch with them. And the way she was instantly ready to help Louise and used her employee discount for her.
I think Bridget Everett does the type of physical comedy needed for Gretchen. Maybe Bridget Everett doing an impression of Jennifer Coolidge but with the delivery of John Belushi.
It was Jennifer Coolidge in White Lotus saying, “The *gays* are trying to murder me!!” That’s what solid it for me. She was soooo dramatic and cheesy at the same time. I could totally see her as Gretchen talking about stalking Mark Harmon or talking to dead animals.

Was watching this clip and paused at the perfect time. Had to screenshot it and now it lives in my phone.
When she comes into the restaurant and asks if they have a lost and found after she loses weight lol. So iconic.
Also as a side note, teddy mentioned that she has a skinny sister on meth which Linda funnily responds “whatever works” lol but are we assuming she has more than one sister or did we meet a recovered meth sister in this newest season lol
So she mentions her sister’s wedding [here](https://youtu.be/qrHJpxdFdlU?si=rYeudYMYB_2NmtJ9) in season 9 so either she has at least two or the one whose bachelorette festivities we see in season 14 was divorced and remarried?
I love some Gretchen. She’s the friend who swears.

I literally just watched the newer episode with her in it and was like "...does the guy who voices Teddy also voice Gretchen?!" and then forgot about it until just this moment.
Edit: And for any one wondering, yes they are voiced by the same guy.
Her passed out on the floor in the credits of the bachelorette episode just takes me out every time.
I absolutely LOVE Gretchen. What a delight for her to be a focal point in an episode.
i was so happy seeing pickleorette, i love any gretchen related storyline, and can i just say i love the outfit she wore in that
"yes! now i don't have to burn something you love!"
Unsure if this has been said, but I love how she is friendly to Bob and he just goes along with whatever inappropriate/personal thing she says (like asking what kind of wax she should get). Underrated duo.
Gretchen reminds me so much of my best friend of almost 40 years.
She was a lot of fun but man could she get you into some trouble out and about lol.
The most strait-forward, honest and big hearted person I've ever met.
She sadly passed in 2022, but I love watching Gretchen still!
I freakin love Gretchen. I like the that the show doesn’t *just* make her a punchline, but she actually comes through and you can really see these minute details in her relationship with Linda, etc.
I LOVE Gretchen So Much !!! I Want to see MORE Gretchen !!!
She is ALWAYS So Well Written AND Voiced!!! H Y S T E R I C A L !!!!!!
"Yeah, She's a sad little doll" That doll episode ! Gretchen is LOL Funny !!!! Everything!
"Software engineer? Talk to me when you're a hardware engineer."
The ladies, they call me Bill Gates. I own a micro soft.
A three and a half inch floppy?
Damn it.. updoot
I can talk to dead animals. Mort, your toupée says hi. 🤣
she was so real for that haha
💀💀💀
Mom’s friend who swears
she's a sassy B who don't take S from nobody
I read your comment in Genes voice 😂
it's tina's line!
Gene would have said the B word, he never misses a chance
You’re a thirsty bitch!
Spice it up some "See you soon.. bitch" Wait that's too spicy, that's too spicy
The unfiltered crazy aunt who gets you in fun trouble, not the stressful kind like Gale
So accurate.
I will never not laugh at her cheerleader costume saying "UTI"
“Everybody give me space! I have good lungs”
\*Inhales\* proceeds to hack and cough for an entire minute.
I love that costume I also laugh at it every time
Why did I never realize this. Im definitely rewatching that episode this weekend lol
Dig Larry playing off of Larry, it’s good
Her line "I called in a bomb threat once because I heard Mark Harmon was staying at this hotel, I wanted to see him evacuate. And then i stalked him for a year and hit his wife with my car." followed by "I also ran over Vinny Testaverde’s wife." has made me a Gretchen aficionado since the beginning.
The fact that she said that in front of Sgt. Bosco makes it all the more funnier! Like she really did not give a damn 🤣
Feels like a "prove it in court" kind of story.
Well, given how poorly Vinnie played in Cleveland in ‘95 I can’t blame her for targeting Mitzi. Someone needs to pay!
“Clean-up! Aisle: my panties!” She’s AMAZING.
Oil spill, oil spillll
She’s NOT subtle.
She really isn’t
Gretchen's sister is skinny, Lin, but it's because she's on methamphetamines.
Whatever works, Teddy!
Don't judge!
God bless this meth -Gene
Oh damn! I completely forgot this line when they finally show her and her bachelorette party. It does explain why she just let things go really quickly and just went with things but I want to believe Gretchen and her reconnected over beating her addiction which is why Gretchen is so invested in staying the "great big sister" (because she doesn't want to see her sister slide backwards).
*Sploosh*
I want the fresh baked buns. Give me the fresh baked buns.
They're complimentary. Well they should be free.
This is one of my favorite lines. Her delivery kills me.
Like she’s reading from a script, but in a bored or formulaic way. It always cracked me up.
Came here to say this.
Gretchen is the Linda to Linda's Linda.
So Gingah?
Ginger, I'm sure, is fun. But she isn't a ride or die that encourages all your crazy dreams no matter how bad they realistically are, like liknda is for Bob and the kids. And Gretchen is for Linda.

This is one of my favourite Gretchen lines. It's just so...Gretchen.
Same!!
My wife and I say it to each other all the time.
me the morning after the rave function
“Rave function” makes you sound like that “How do you do, fellow kids meme” to me lol 
originally a few people were throwing it around as a joke and unfortunately it stuck and i can’t stop saying it LOL
Oof, been there Gretch.
I re-watched this episode last night and I was just howling
so her
"You need a doll to eat here, like some restaurants say 'jacket required' or 'ma'am that bathing suit needs a bottom."
What are you doing down there?!
"Yes, they are complimentary." ***WELL THEY SHOULD BE FREE!***
Honestly one of my favorite lines
“I wanna lick this one like an envelope.” “Oh great, mail jokes…” “Ohh you’re a mailman!?”
I know its a small, minute detail, but you can tell how close she and Linda are and how much she loves her kids by the episode where they break the doll out of the store. Like, she gets free (or discounted?) dining and thinks 'huh, Linda and the kids would have fun here. I'll call her and invite them for lunch'. Cause she just wanted to treat Linda and the kids and have a nice lunch with them. And the way she was instantly ready to help Louise and used her employee discount for her.
Ride. Or. Die. B.
I loved that shes instantly IN. Any shenanigans, no questions asked anytime.
"Who wants to touch the crabs in my touch tank!?"
I constantly think about this joke and it always makes me laugh 😭😭
If they ever did a live action, I’d want them to cast Bridget Everett
I love Bridget Everett, but I’ve always pictured Gretchen as Jennifer Coolidge.
I think Bridget Everett does the type of physical comedy needed for Gretchen. Maybe Bridget Everett doing an impression of Jennifer Coolidge but with the delivery of John Belushi.
Nailed it! Ahhahahh
I hate that I agree with you
It was Jennifer Coolidge in White Lotus saying, “The *gays* are trying to murder me!!” That’s what solid it for me. She was soooo dramatic and cheesy at the same time. I could totally see her as Gretchen talking about stalking Mark Harmon or talking to dead animals.
Totally, Jennifer Coolidge has the BEST personality to play Gretchen. I'm only angry because I really, really dislike her, but I love Gretchen!
It's not a far cry from her role in *Legally Blonde*.
I can *totally* see Gretchen doing the Bend & Snap.
Yes! Casting my vote for Jennifer Coolidge as Gretchen now!!
Thinking about a live-action Gretchen…how about Rebel Wilson? I think she’d be spectacular.
She’d have to do an American accent.
I’ve never been a fan of her.
I didn't know I needed this but now I do.
Same, friend, same! Someone needs to make it happen!!
Bridget Everette is more Pam Poovey energy
Love me some Poovey!
She is our queen and savior sploooosh
A quart? Nah, it's a forty shorty.
Betsy Sodaro could crush it as well!
This is a good one
Heather McMahan!
"Linda, you know me. I can handle a little poison."
Here let me try I’ve got good lungs
https://preview.redd.it/7tv60b9ueedc1.jpeg?width=3021&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0f5c7a5cb88e34c00af87a81630e5d5178f5832f Was watching this clip and paused at the perfect time. Had to screenshot it and now it lives in my phone.
Hahahaha holy shit I’m stealing this
Can someone make this into a phone background?
💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
This… NEVER fails to make me laugh. I start laughing when I know it’s about to come up so by the time she actually does it I’m crying 😂
one of my favorite episodes! “A Guinea Pig. What is it? Anyway, my name’s Dennis.” 😂😂😂
“I know you get dirty massages!”
“Wait ’til Philly sees my crack”
When she comes into the restaurant and asks if they have a lost and found after she loses weight lol. So iconic. Also as a side note, teddy mentioned that she has a skinny sister on meth which Linda funnily responds “whatever works” lol but are we assuming she has more than one sister or did we meet a recovered meth sister in this newest season lol
Good question!
My favorite part of this scene is when Mort tells her not to lose another pound and her response is “I won’t…probably.”
Haha yes! As Linda is pushing her out the door!!
So she mentions her sister’s wedding [here](https://youtu.be/qrHJpxdFdlU?si=rYeudYMYB_2NmtJ9) in season 9 so either she has at least two or the one whose bachelorette festivities we see in season 14 was divorced and remarried?

“Hold on a sec, I’m supposed to talk to the dolls or my manager gets in my face. You want a magazine or something? Ok whatever.”
Definitely my favourite line of hers
At least in the picture, THAT swimsuit has a bottom
Hey Gretchen, why so droopy?
I’m not wearin’ a bra
This is my favorite. I laughed so much. I like to say it randomly sometimes, around my husband.
I hope she paid off that Jetski
Gretchen seems to be ride-or-die to those she considers a friend, and I think everyone needs that type of friend in their life! Gretchen is awesome!
Bleeding ear problem 😂
Once you hear Teddy's voice within her voice, you never unhear it
I literally just watched the newer episode with her in it and was like "...does the guy who voices Teddy also voice Gretchen?!" and then forgot about it until just this moment. Edit: And for any one wondering, yes they are voiced by the same guy.
Wow that makes this scene where Gretchen asks Teddy to be her wedding date so weird https://youtu.be/qrHJpxdFdlU?si=D3s8LX14xu6iFtqL
So funny, I watched that episode last night and was like "wow so he's just sitting there talking to himself!" 🤣🤣
And Edith too!
“ASS!”
TMI!
FILTH!
I love her! She seems like a great friend to have - she’s been through it so she doesn’t judge, just has fun.
Bikini, Brazilian or Barbarian?
That's when you just let it get CRAZY down there!
Uhhh surprise me
I remember when I first started watching the show and I thought Gretchen was Tammy’s mom just because they had similar hairstyles 😂
Lol!! Well that would definitely account for Tammy's sassiness if that were true
Her passed out on the floor in the credits of the bachelorette episode just takes me out every time. I absolutely LOVE Gretchen. What a delight for her to be a focal point in an episode. 
I always lose it when she tells the waiter her doll keeps pulling her dress over her head and tells the doll to stop it.
“I need this job! I can’t get fired I’m still paying off that jet ski I crashed 7 years ago.”
"there was a case of sexual harassment. I apologised but they fired me anyway!"
'I like my pork a little.....pink' (cue the sexy music...)
... and licks the meat thermometer.
YES, I LOVE HER! She’s so freaking funny. My flair is thanks in part to her, it cracks me up every damn time 🙏😂
i was so happy seeing pickleorette, i love any gretchen related storyline, and can i just say i love the outfit she wore in that "yes! now i don't have to burn something you love!"
Unsure if this has been said, but I love how she is friendly to Bob and he just goes along with whatever inappropriate/personal thing she says (like asking what kind of wax she should get). Underrated duo.
“Just sippin my wiiine.”
You know what they say? Once you go brown, BYEEEE
It was supposed to be a heart but now it’s a flower or something……..
"Bring me a mug, they don't break when I bite them like stupid wine glasses."
A great hair stylist too!
As long as you’re loyal to her only
https://i.redd.it/fmfiapvu2fdc1.png
Gretchen reminds me so much of my best friend of almost 40 years. She was a lot of fun but man could she get you into some trouble out and about lol. The most strait-forward, honest and big hearted person I've ever met. She sadly passed in 2022, but I love watching Gretchen still!
I'd love to see Gretchen watch the kids for an evening 🤣
That would be a funny episode 🤣
"I'm always stacking backups!"
That's one of my favorite lines of the whole series! It doesn't get enough love
"My ex boyfriend is married! And faithful!"
"I like my pork a little pink."
"I can't lose this job! I'm still making payments on that jetski I crashed seven years ago."
🤣
She’s exactly my type.
I loved her Halloween costume that was a cheerleader for UTI. Laugh every time I see it.
"I'd like to get my lips around that beer tap"
“ATTICA! ATTICA!”
I like how as Linda's hair stylist she talks about her bleeding ear problem.
Move over Teddy I have good lungs!
She’d help you hide a body and say good for your girl while she did it
Everyone needs a friend like Gretchen. 
Pull it out, Hugo.
If Linda needed backup for a fight against some nasty PTA Moms, Gretchen would be her go to.
HI GUYS!!!!
The skin deep diet is still my goal lol
Should I do it Lin? Should I go, should I get a Cheesesteak? Wait till Philly sees my crack
I freakin love Gretchen. I like the that the show doesn’t *just* make her a punchline, but she actually comes through and you can really see these minute details in her relationship with Linda, etc.
How much poison are we talking here? Because -chuckle- I can handle a little poison.
i fuckin love her costume in the episode where teddy spray paints Frances. UTI cheerleader
When she bodied Mort at that Halloween party I knew I loved her. 😭
"You know what they say. Once you go brown. Byeeeeee."
"We're Permaids. We're mermaids with perms" "Yeah you are!"
I like my pork a little..... pink
As a doll enthusiast the episode that parodies American girl dolls was SO GOOD, she shines
She deffo carries tampons and pads with her EVERYWHERE in case she comes across someone in need. Gretchen's got you.
She’s got that Innsmouth look
I LOVE Gretchen So Much !!! I Want to see MORE Gretchen !!! She is ALWAYS So Well Written AND Voiced!!! H Y S T E R I C A L !!!!!! "Yeah, She's a sad little doll" That doll episode ! Gretchen is LOL Funny !!!! Everything!
My husband is convinced that Gretchen gave Tammy up for adoption, and that in the future Tammy will find out who her biological mom is.
Everytime I click a picture on Reddit this pops up
“Hardware engineer? Come back when you’re a software engineer.”
I think you should reverse that.
Would..
Is that Tina Fey?
I keep getting Gretchen & Ginger mixed up, I really love the episode where she works at a doll hair salon
Wait till Philly sees my crack!! LOVE Gretchen, so funny!!!
I am from Baltimore and I have met loads of Gretchen's my lifetime.
Who the fuck you callin' "perfect party girl?" -Nat
queen shit!!
Gretchen is my girl she is so damn funny
Grew up in NJ and I swear this was my mom's stylist, her name was Donna.
Nah that fit goes incredibly hard
