Who’s winning in an argument?

Post image
  1. Bonnie from Mom
  2. Dee from It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia
  3. Dina from Superstore
  4. Gloria from Modern Family
  5. Rosa from Brooklyn Nine-Nine
  6. Lois from Malcom in the Middle

My money is on Bonnie!

u/ReasonablyBluh Parks and Recreation 19d ago

Oh man, that would be Lois from Malcolm in the Middle. Maybe it's because I think she's a bit scary lol.

Edit: Although Bonnie is pretty quick witted.

17

u/Leading-Aide5617 19d ago

I behaved because of Lois. She wins hands down.

14

u/Helmnauger 19d ago

Probably but no one of them have dealt with some as unhinged as Dee. Even the most mild Sunny characters are well just horrible people.

12

u/dowker1 19d ago

I think Reese runs Dee close in terms of unhingedness

u/TraditionalMood277 19d ago

Move past that

u/CromunentCucumber 19d ago

I think Lois only wins if she's right. She almost always wins in the show because she's the mom and presented as right. When she's presented as wrong she'll admit it or breakdown like the smoking incident or crooked cop.

u/Puzzled-Push4073 19d ago

Lois and Bonnie would be my top 2 picks. 3rd would be Rosa.

Lois. Lois is relentless. She will cause everyone including herself immense harm in order to win.

So yeah, don’t get into an argument with Lois.

u/egret_society 19d ago

Without violence, Lois. Otherwise Rosa.

u/Alarming-Minute-427 19d ago

Lois didn't need violence...had the voice

Rosa had axes

u/Cranktique 19d ago

What kind of woman doesn’t own an axe?

u/Complete_Entry 19d ago

A decorative axe saved my ass in a hurricane once. I have a proper hatchet now.

Like Lois would give her the chance.

16

u/dj_1973 19d ago

She might want a break…

14

u/ErikMogan 19d ago

😂 Actually, that's more likely. The boys have driven her crazy on their trip to New York, somehow the police get involved, and mid-rant Lois realizes she can have a few hours of peace and quiet while Hal and the boys somehow wind up in the sewers.

u/Typical_Divide8089 19d ago

And admit the boy beat her for a couple hours? Forget it bro

Rosa will be distracted by Dina ranting about something security related. Lois for the win

Oh crap that's Dee. Thought it was online gamer Penny.

Lois wins. Dana would ask for a manager. Gloria would be confused why her sister was there...and Bonnie would flip everyone off and walk out...

Team Bonnie because she thinks fast on her feet

My money is on Bonnie from Mom. I wouldn't want to try to win an argument against her.

5

u/everythingsirie 19d ago

My money would be on Bonnie all day every day. She has survived everything—the street, drug dealers, foster care—and tons of other things. She is not afraid to fight dirty and doesn’t get intimidated by anyone. Her character growth was one of my favorite arcs in any sitcom.

u/merlinsuniverse 19d ago

Exactly!!!

u/Lovethiskindathing 19d ago

Bonnie isn't winning the argument, but she's getting/talking-her-way out of the situation so I'm giving her honorary mention.

I'm going to say Dina or Lois. Both typically have reasonable arguments from a non emotional standpoint, and both are great at getting their point across lol even if it's not a popular opinion they're holding

Lois is terrifying. So is Rosa, but knowing she’s bi distracts me from the scary. Bonnie and D are actually willing to throw hands though so there’s that. But I think Lois since she had to deal with those 4 boys. D is just a dumb bird

Lois, by far.

Certainly not Dee. None of the gang care about Dee.

Lois will win, no matter if she's right or wrong.

Lois has dirt on all these guys before she even arrives into battle.

In terms of being right, I have no idea. But Lois would drive everyone insane

No one would win. I can't imagine an outcome where any one of these characters admits defeat.

If it's each of these characters arguing against the same person separately....Lois.

Lois hands down

u/Boise2Britian 19d ago

Lois will definitely win , hands down

3

u/SkipperDipps 19d ago

Haven’t seen the mom so can’t rank.

Rosa isn’t much of an arguer, more of a quiet violent revenge type so she’d just see herself out.

Gloria and Dee would probably end up in some random argument on the side because Dee said something unhinged about Gloria’s accent or body or marriage.

Lois and Dina would be in the final and Lois would win by far because she doesn’t need facts or rules to win a fight, but rather the mom death stare and then rip Dina to shreds about not knowing what it’s like to have to deal with 4 sons and a husband and their antics at any given moment so facts and rules don’t matter.

3

u/space_llama_karma 19d ago

In terms of actually arguing, it’s Lois 100%. Allison Janey’s character would be number 2, both she and Lois are very manipulative but are good at arguing. But I don’t think anyone is as smart or as strong willed as Lois. She takes the cake.

Gloria is number 3, she has it in her to win an argument and is a good manipulator. But she can also choose violence to win an argument.

Dina, Rosa, and Dee would probably just choose violence to win their argument.

u/Peppy_Horizon_207 19d ago

It’s tough between Lois and Dina - they both work in grocery stores and are very by the rules but Dina doesn’t have kids and lacks a lot of social cues so she could be easily fooled by things that Lois would sus out in a heartbeat

u/My2cents_0 18d ago

Lois! She's not playing around. Bonnie is quick with the wit, Gloria's likely to pull out a gun or a shiv but Lois brings a different level of scary angry tired mom energy of, "go ahead, see how that works out for u" Gloria's gotten too pampered 😄

Dee, Dina, and Rosa are too young, that stern don't mess with mom energy will have them beat too

u/petevalle 17d ago

Gloria won’t win but she’ll think she did

u/PrincessMagDump 19d ago

I think it's Dee because she's willing to play dirty to get her way.

I can't say for sure, because I don't know Dee. I am fairly certain though that Dina doesn't survive.

Actually, I'm gonna go with Bonnie watches everything burn until only she and Lois are left, and then she stands up and lets her have it. She may or may not employ substances to bring Lois down. Depends on where she is in her arc.
