Lines From 'That 70s Show' That Prove Red Forman Is Underrated

Underrated character of the decade.

We all know That 70s Show (I'm willing to bet you've watched it on Netflix), and we all know that Red Forman is the most underrated character on the show. He is the wittiest character and has some of the best lines on the show, but he's not a part of the "gang" so he doesn't get the recognition he deserves. So I took it upon myself to get his legacy out there. I have compiled a list of my personal favorite Red quotes for your enjoyment!


First, this beauty on washing up for dinner!

"Eric, didn't I tell you to wash up for dinner. I know, it's difficult to hear with your head up your ass."

I bet it would be difficult to hear things if your head was up your ass.


Second, a reminder of what we really mean to our parents.

"Eric: Hey, Dad. Can I talk to you for a sec? Do you think that Hyde can stay for dinner?
Red: Eric, again? I can't afford to feed your friend. I can't even afford to feed you, but the law requires me to!
"

Put your kids in line with this one.


When I asked my dad for help he said the same thing...

"What are you going to put on your resume, 'Dumbass'?"

Does that go under experience or skills?


I can't really explain this one...

"Responsible people don't go around getting their nipples twisted."

Changing all my social media bios to this ASAP.


Some extremely underrated advice.

"When my time comes I want to be buried face down. That way whoever doesn't like me can kiss my ass."

Why hasn't this been done before?


What runs through my mind at every restaurant ...

"What the hell kind of restaurant is this? You got eight people singing happy birthday, and no one can bring my wife a damn salad."

I need a Red Forman in my life to narrate my day to day.


When you talk to elderly relatives about politics. (Relevant now more than ever.)

"If the US government decides to stick a tracking device up your ass, you say, "Thank You. And God Bless America."

He likes the word ass apparently.


And then when they ask for your opinion...

"Eric: I believe that everyone's political opinion is valid, and worth hearing.

Red: Well that's perfect Eric. Use that line when you run for Miss America."

When your dad is the sassiest family member...


Solid bed timeline.

"Good night, sleep tight, and don't let the bedbugs put their foot in your ass."

Parenting Advice from Red Forman should be a book. Why isn't it already a book?


If parents were honest...

"[to Eric] Happy Birthday. You know, the lawn's not gonna cut itself."

This is the reality of being an adult at home.


Thank you, Red Forman, for all the laughs you have brought me over the years. I aspire to be as sarcastic and clever as you.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
