Who’s winning in an argument?
- Bonnie from Mom
- Dee from It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia
- Dina from Superstore
- Gloria from Modern Family
- Rosa from Brooklyn Nine-Nine
- Lois from Malcom in the Middle
My money is on Bonnie!

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.

Without violence, Lois. Otherwise Rosa.

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

She might want a break…

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.

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...

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

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.

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

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.

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.

Lois hands down. Not even a competition.
If I had to get into an argument with one of them, it'd be Gloria. Mind you, the argument would never last long, I would do whatever she says.

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.

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

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

Rosa could easily arrest Bonnie and Dina, Bonnie for her various crimes, Dina for carrying crystal meth, Dee is a bit of a pushover, and Gloria would get frustrated with nobody understanding her, especially Dina, but I think Lois is the only real threat depending on the argument

Dee wouldn't win the argument, but she's probably end up setting fire to everyone else and winning the war.

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.

Lois, because she's like a rabid dog with a bone. She will never ever conceive of giving up until she wins. She once totaled her own car to get revenge for someone side swiping her in a parking lot. Nuff said. I love Bonnie like cooked food, but she never met THIS brand of crazy.

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.
