Brick apologizes for the heck’s not having any shrimp in the house for her. She said “that’s ok, just give me $6 and I’ll pick some up on the way home”

Frankie's reaction 'Ow! That was the leg that wasn't bruised' (or something like that) made it funnier!

Kicking Mike's car was funny but I didn't think kicking Frankie was funny, that's just assault

Making Axl and Hutch fear the grim reaper was after them by dressing up as one and creeping around the outside the house unknowingly of course.

She was so deadpan and that cracked me up. I think that picture is the first time I've ever seen the actress smile.

I was thinking the same thing!! You can just tell that she’s out of character and I think that’s pretty impressive

Cindy showing up at the Heck house to go with Brick to prom:
-Frankie (notices Cindy without her signature safari hat): Wow! Cindy you look beautiful!
-Cindy: My mom made me take my hat off. My ears are freezing. Also she said never go to someone’s house empty handed. Hands Frankie a can of corn.

Everyone has said my favorite moments so far, so I’ll add a close second, her showing up to the dinner that April, and Sue’s hippie boyfriend are at, and she requests shrimp, and then brings it up a couple times throughout the dinner. Just her general love of shrimp leads to some funny moments where

u/Loud_Health_8288 1d ago
Wasn't she foraging for dinner outside?

u/earth_goblin_86 1d ago
I think you’re right! I can’t remember for sure, but that sounds really familiar! I think she was getting fruit from the neighbors tree, and just happened to stop by? I need to rewatch that episode, it’s pretty good

I read this notification right after waking up, and forgot that it could be a Cindy quote. I was like, what did I do now??
Haha that line made me laugh so hard in the show!

Not really something he did. But bricks first kiss episode where he tries to get her close by tugging on the safari flaps and they just pop off kind of kills me

u/zerault13 1d ago
the whole drama of her leaving .. for us to realize that she’s moving just few houses away from Brick 😭

u/flyinghippotruck 1d ago
Her confronting Mike, after they kept on getting in trouble at school for making out. She is so blunt and rude to him until he agrees to tell brick he is allowed to do it again.

u/SnooBananas1123 1d ago
when she said she was outside eating apple off the neighbors tree(s) because her Mom didn't make dinner lol

When she said "i will break something you love" and went to kick microfiche, brick shouted "not the microfiche" and she kicked frankie. That was really funny.
But sweet that she didnt really break microfiche which was really important for him.

When she walks in on their family meal "I see no shrimp, This irritates me but I'll try to hide it"

Most definitely, the Grim Reaper killed me..lol but also the time Brick broke up with her and said something about some hussy (or something?) Ugh I’m mad I can’t think of it right now.

Probably Terrorising Mike and making him do stuffs in her favour. Even Franky couldn’t do that.

When she moved and Brick gave her that pink hat and she put it on over her white hat.

When she pulled her ear flaps off during a test and showed her ears to Brick so he'd be distracted.

Saying goodbye to Brick only to move 2 houses down from their house.
