"The Flu" is an episode in the first season of The Golden Girls.

Dorothy, Blanche, and Rose all come down with the flu. In spite of their illness, they attend an award ceremony when each of them suspects the others of possibly winning an award for charity work.


Tropes:

  • Annoying Patient: Dorothy, Blanche, and Rose are all obnoxious towards one another as ill people with needs. It culminates to all three of them attending an award ceremony in an attempt to one-up the others.
  • Monkey Morality Pose: At one point the girls are lined up on the couch mimicking this. Blanche is rubbing her eyes, Dorothy is holding her head with her hands over her ears, and Rose is blowing her nose with her hands over her mouth.
  • The Triple: When Dorothy, Blanche, and Rose are shown being sick due to the flu:
    Blanche: I feel hot.
    Dorothy: I feel cold.
    Rose: I feel guilty.note
