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.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
