Funny / The Conners

• In the first episode, Becky and Darlene are joking around.
  Should we be laughing?
  Inappropriate jokes are what she taught us!
• Darlene's reaction to Geena's telling her "you'd better make a reservation in Hell" for her non-Christian beliefs:
  Darlene: Reservations? We've already got a cabana!
• When Darlene and Becky are going over the large bills their parents owe, Becky says they should just tell them that Roseanne just died, Darlene however mentioned that Roseanne already tried that trick numerous times. Becky just figured they can truly sell it this time.
• Dan helping Mark choose a seat buddy (in a manner rather reminiscent of helping someone choose a romantic interest — it's heavily implied Mark has a crush on the two boys). He's rather annoyed that he picks the sarcastic brooder over the money-having, yearly Florida vacationer. (On the flip side, Darlene's delighted.)
• Becky leaves Darlene to sort out bills pertaining to their mother's death, and the two of them get into an argument. Becky leaves to go to work, but sheepishly comes back in a few minutes later...
  Becky: I thought about what I said and I realized it was insulting and dismissive. I see that now because I need a ride to work.
• When Bev laments how tragic it is for a parent to outlive their child, Jackie swoops in for some comic relief:
  Jackie: Mom, you're 92. You're gonna see all of us die, and then you're gonna get buried by a robot.
• After her thrupple dissolves, Jackie develops a reputation around town. Drawing the attention of a very familiar looking caller and his wife. She's not interested.
  Ozzy [Points at Darlene] What about the boy?
• "Keep on Truckin' Six Feet Apart" finds Gallows Humour in the COVID-19 Pandemic. Mark in particular is in a state of heightened paranoia:
  • As Dan approaches the house, Mark sits in a lawn chair in a CDC baseball cap with full mask and face shield and won't let his grandfather past until he scans him with a forehead thermometer (Dan makes a Western-themed quip about someone eventually coming along who'll be faster with a thermometer gun, a reference he apparently makes daily that Mark still doesn't get) and asks if he's been coughing, sneezing, or experiencing diarrhoea.
    Dan: Exactly in that order? No.
  • Dinner is an even more awkward affair; Mark insists that the family sit six feet apart, so he and Darlene are at the table while Harris is by the fridge (in Dan's "easy to reach a beer" spot). As Dan takes a seat by the stove, Mark scans Darlene with his forehead thermometer and is alarmed to see her temperature is 99 degrees; he promptly sticks a Tupperware of food under her nose.
    Mark: Can you smell this?
    Darlene: [grimacing and pushing the Tupperware away] I-I don't wanna smell this, it's bad enough I have to eat it.
  • Meanwhile, as there's no room in the kitchen, Becky is eating in the utility room. When she sticks her plate through the louvred window to get another serving of mashed potatoes, she accidentally scrapes it against one of the panes of glass as she pulls it back, dumping her food all over the window sill. Dan jumps up and scrapes it onto his plate.
• The one thing everyone can agree on for the big triple wedding is the singer, an opera singer Aldo met at the supermarket. When we meet said opera singer, turns out he's a certain very tall singing clown.
  Darlene: Damn, that clown can sing.
