Most Meddling Mother-In-Law Moments With Marie | Everybody Loves Raymond 

My ex-sister-in-law gave my mother the full box DVD set.

Did she pass away? 😭😭😭😭

@@chiefouko Yes, she passed away in her sleep on April 17, 2016, at her home in Los Angeles following a stroke, at the age of 90. She had also suffered from pulmonary hypertension for many years before her death. In an interview, Ray Romano said of Roberts: “Doris Roberts had an energy and a spirit that amazed me. She never stopped. Whether working professionally or with her many charities, or just nurturing and mentoring a green young comic trying to make it as an actor, she did everything with such a grand love for life and people and I will miss her dearly. Here's how good she was: She played the most intrusive, overbearing, nosy woman-always starting fights and whatnot and meddling in our business-and yet when I asked the fans who their favorite character was, all the time it was her. She was so good at portraying the love that was underneath.”

@@brittanyc.4540 Thanks so much for letting me know this. May She Rest in peace 🕊️🕊️

@@chiefouko You’re very welcome. Rest in peace to Doris Roberts. 💐💐

Marie: "Who keeps pornography for 20 years?" Frank: "Anyone married to you." 😂😂

Marie We almost got divorced. Frank Almost is the sad word. He was always so funny on this show.❤❤

Marie “ you have to have a witch-hunt “ Frank “ you found one …”

Definitely NOT a favorite show (probably of most people). And definitely not THE favorite!!

Same here !! Going through a depression right now and I’m rewatching this show, so much I’ve missed back then and I absolutely love to laugh and this show makes me laugh, and Marie IS MY MOTHER, I feel like Robert, opposed my brother… “ it’s all about Anthony” which is what I’ve been saying pre-Everybody loves Raymond” soooooo it’s funny and sometimes sad to me at moments bc I feel like the character Robert, just a girl version 😢 However they do love each other and wouldn’t let Robert down no matter what, wish I could say that much Thank God for great friends !! Sometimes friends are better than family, unfortunately ✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️

Frank and Marie was funny but in real life Never 😅

My parents are like a toxic,uncomedic version of them

Oh hell no absolutely not...Debra is at fault tho..she should have known what she was marrying into

Charlene, you and me, both!

​@@BigBoss-zi5ssRay tried warning her but she didn't know them well enough. She should have listened to him.

AGREED 💯 I liked that premise of the show....☺️

Debra was like the daughter Frank never had....🤔

So, that FBI interviewer didn't have a sense of humor haha!

She’s my mother !!!

Mine only wanted to help me

Her name is Doris Roberts.

Yes ! that’s because I think it was actually filmed before a live studio audience and that makes all the difference. The audience’s reactions, the way various people laugh, actually supports the actors and helps get the laughs even more. The audience can react and respond better when it’s live. Some of the audience members’ cackles, gaffs, hehaws, and in this case that guy’s snorting /gasps for air, mean that Robert’s facial expressions were spot on. Brad Garrett, the actor who plays Robert was a great physical comedian. Sometimes I feel he was very influenced by Michael Richards who played Kramer in Seinfeld. It’s a very similar physical comedy vaudevillian acting style. The expressions were very similar. In fact, in another universe, Brad Garrett could’ve easily been cast to play Kramer.

@lapislazuli7876 Exactly why I prefer sitcoms to have a live audience rather than a laugh track. The live audience reactions just makes it funnier. A laugh track is just annoying.

The best scene where she meddles and she is not even in the scene

peggy Biggs ( Mike & Molly )

Marie holds the crown of meddling mothers.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Marie is first, then Sophia, followed by Sylvia 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂.

@@csmith2484you all forgot Endora, in Bewitched! She really took the cake!

Sophia is meddling, but she’s no busybody.

Do you mean in an unhealthy way?

Yes. It's rather creepy, like Norman Bates creepy...😂

“A man’s best friend is his mother.” - Norman Bates

Good husband? Just a mamas not. Mom mini I believe they call them in Italy!!!

Even as a child I recognised that he was a horrible husband… back then I still believed that people died with their tongue out.

Lol it was a sitcom......dont take it took heart ❤

To

🤣🤣🤣...Debra was also quite terrible

That’s because the character of Marie is meant to be Italian and yet really she’s a typical Jewish nagging and overbearing mother. The whole family and all their friends and relatives across as Jewish to me. Phil Rosenthal just wrote a typical Jewish sitcom. I find nothing Italian at all about Marie. She’s a meddling, Medusean nebbish. Robert also is a typical Jewish looking actor and acted Jewish - the sense of humour and his language and mannerisms were all Jewish. I think Phil Rosenthal should’ve made more effort to write to the Italian sensibility and if he couldn’t do that, could’ve just written them all as broadly Jewish American.

@@lapislazuli7876 This is based off of Ray, who is Italian and has a family just like this, with Phil filling in with his Jewish family.

There is a lot of sense in what you just said and I hope mine works the same way too, we are currently separated but I cant live without her, I love her so much. wish I can get her back I can do anything to have her back, we have tried therapy amongst other things

Letting go of someone you love is always challenging, but in my situation, I had the guidance of a spiritual counselor who prevented my marriage from falling apart. Her name is Suzanne Ann Walters..

This is helpful, I will look her up online right now...Thanks.

You definitely should. You wont regret it

How did you resolve your problems in your marriage?

Mothers in law.

We bought a hm next to my husband's mom worst decision we ever made. We fight constantly about his mom damn near on the brink of divorce.

My guess would be maybe Franks mother was the same with Marie and the cycle continues or maybe she grew up in an abusive, controlling, household.

It comes naturally to some mothers.

Lol.. I definitely agree with you 💯 concerning Marie and they should lock their door both front and back door.. however.. Doris Roberts will surely be missed

Marie is triggering, Frank is a bully, Raymond would annoy me as a husband, but Debra is controlling and rude. I get that Raymond should support and speak up for her, but there are times when Debra should relax. Like in the episode "The Christmas Picture" when Debra invited her parents to be in the family picture. That was wrong since that was Ray's gift to her. It should have just been the Barones. Now Ray & Debra could have both parents in a family picture for their home, but Debra was wrong for that. I know, it's just a show, but this happens in real families.

​@@user-vh3uj5mi2l They tried locking the doors on the first episode and, Raymond got caught by the hair through the mail slot. As a matter of fact they used that in the intro on the first season. Try to remember ...

You do realize that this a sitcom, right? It is called fiction.

It’s a tradition in sitcoms for characters not to lock doors. It allows the neighbours and other family and friends to barge in and catch various characters doing something wrong. Sitcoms are all based on characters being fish out of water at some level and always being judged by the standards of society to their families. I love Lucy mastered the conceit. It was also a conceit used with great skill in Bewitched where Gladys Kravitz would just walk through the front door!!!! It was also used in The Mary Tyler Moore Show where Rhoda was always barging into Mary’s house. In I dream of Jeannie, Dr Bellows was always barging in on Major Nelson and Jeannie or catching him in some bizarre scenario.

I believe she has, canonically, and that Ally would turn out just like her mother with the man she marries :) "Looks just like her mother! another little megabeast!" to quote Drop Dead Fred ;)

After her own experiences? Nah. Debra would do everything she could to avoid becoming the thing she hated.

I’m sure she has

I think the suicide of one of the twins would have made her too depressed to be like Marie

A reboot would be amazing !!!!

Here, here.😉👌 I couldn't tell if it was a male audience honking or a walrus making mating calls.🤣🤣🤣🤣

Debra had "pregnancy brain"

Its a show!!!!

Your kids don't talk to you huh?

No lol just no.

Interesting…do you think most of the daughter in laws are like Debra?

What a ridiculous thing to say! 🙄

Two of my ex-boyfriend's mums were definitely like Marie, my mum also often says that my nan reminds her of Marie too

No it's not

@@andrewgrove1691 actually fair point rays parents are gone

They couldn't make this show these days

@@purplelove392 true the humor just ain't the same today makes no sense with today's humor

@@TokerJoker420 What humor today?

She's meddling, not helping.
