LIVE POLL: Favorite Wednesday Addams Quote

With the recent 2022 debut of Wednesday, a series centered on the student years of Wednesday Addams, played by Jenna Ortega, it is time to remember her predecessor of some three decades ago.

Played twice by Christina Ricci, in what I would consider one of the all-time best performances from a child actor (especially in the sequel), Wednesday Addams didn't just steal the show but she was without the haunting shadow of a doubt the most quotable character of the series, mastering the art of repartee and deadpan sarcasm.

Here is a list of 13 of her funniest, wittiest and darkest comebacks, which one is your favorite?

I came on here just to make sure you had the one about girl scout cookies,  You do,  That one would get my vote.  Ricci not only stole this movie but she stole Mermaids from Cher, Bob Hoskins, and Winona Rider.

For this real, this TV show interests me. The Addams Family is already a highly imaginative topic. If you add to that the fact that Tim Burton directs it, it gets very intriguing. Ok, it gets lots of reboot, spin-off, ripped-off, but aside from that its characteristic humor is quite unique, and its eccentric characters are fun.

My only concern is that... Tim Burton (practically) hasn't made a good film in 20 years.

I will certainly check the reviews before giving it a try, I've become very perplex when it comes to rebooting or reviving popular characters. I know they will certainly bring a sort of modern flavor to the character (and the family) but I hope it will remain true to the 'original' form... or maybe it's a generational bias and for me, Ricci will forever be the best Wednesday Addams.

@ElMaruecan82, your description says you have 13 quotes, but there are actually 14. Could you correct that?

I think you meant "quotes" here:

And we're Wednesday. Was that on purpose or just a coincidence :)?

@ElMaruecan82​ ,

This was definitely on purpose. Considering that this Wednesday Addams' full name is Wednesday Friday Addams, this could have also gone live on Friday. But Wednesday seemed more on point.
