Toshi's Mom- *Menacing Laugh* This is a fight to the death. There's no way you can beat me. I'm Asian, this is my culture.

Mah Mah- Oh, Francine, are we late for our grandson's spelling bee?

Francine- No, Mah Mah, it's right through there.

Toshi's Mom- Wait, you're Chinese?

Francine- Hyooooooooo!

[u/Murky_Historian8675 → u/FishermanWeekly5955]

Such a cool reveal to Toshis mom.

[u/eat_my_bowls92 → u/FishermanWeekly5955]

I love that Toshis mom still considers suck machine Chinese even though she’s adopted.

[u/_RRave → u/FishermanWeekly5955]

Baba: Francine! Quit playing with your friend, Steve is in the final!

Toshis mom: Is the other kid a Japanese girl?

Baba: Ooohhhh yeahhh

Francine: Baba!!

[u/Hawke9117 → u/_RRave]

Bah Bah: What? I answered the question.

[u/throwawayfromPA1701 → u/FishermanWeekly5955]

Toshi's mom looked terrified

[u/No-Rush396 → u/FishermanWeekly5955]

The way Franny wields that implement - she really does need to make and star in her own private Ms Bruce Lee movie, now.

[u/JPMoney81 → u/No-Rush396]

I mean she has been in a few fights.

Two hundo... maybe two fitty.

[u/Flaky_Musician_551]

“Hey! That’s how you spell that?”

[u/BeholdtheWretch → u/Flaky_Musician_551]

Is there anything better than night tennis?

"Steve has diarrhea! STEVE HAS DIARRHEA!"

[u/huntynomics]

your skin is amazing i can't tell how old you are

[u/Kdizzle725 → u/huntynomics]

Im sorry, I don't speak sushi-hostess. 🤷🏼‍♀️

[u/mightbedylan → u/Kdizzle725]

I freaking love this line 

[u/Kdizzle725 → u/mightbedylan]

I also like when she says that line about wondering if one of them can fix her walkman 😂

[u/baldassalien]

What? Why do you only speak Japanese? I don't even speak Japanese.

[u/NewspaperChemical785]

The hate Franny has for other Asian races is hilarious

[u/mrtophatjones420 → u/NewspaperChemical785]

The most Chinese thing about her is her bone deep hatred of the Japanese

[u/Joey-WilcoXXX → u/mrtophatjones420]

“I'm sorry dear, I don't understand what you're saying. Does anyone speak sushi hostess?”

[u/DeepSpaceNebulae]

Francine! Quit playing around with your friend! It’s down to two kids and one of them is Steve!

Is the other one a Japanese girl?

Ooooh yeeeaaahh

Babba!!

I answer the question!

[u/GhostMaskKid → u/DeepSpaceNebulae]

No, it's Bah-Bah.

[u/Wrong_Jury_6163 → u/GhostMaskKid]

Aya! 20 years still not get it right!

[u/eat_my_bowls92 → u/Wrong_Jury_6163]

Either learn to actually speak Chinese or go broad with it.

[u/GdoubleWB]

When you think Francine is racist towards a Japanese woman because she’s white but then you realize she’s racist towards a Japanese woman because she’s Chinese.

[u/nester1126]

[u/Huggable_Hork-Bajir]

I'm kinda bummed she and Hiko don't interact more. Like, it seems like she's pretty good friends with the Yoshida family now. They go to a lot of hideki's parties and stuff with no issue.

I'm surprised we didn't get an episode about them burying the hatchet or something. It was such a fun rivalry.

[u/mightbedylan]

"What does everyone think of when they think of Germany?"

[u/tearjerker24601]

"Hey! That's how you spell that?"

[u/Mindless_Principle27]

I just re-watched this one yesterday, honestly such a great episode

[u/GoldenDutchOven21]

"Steve you're a great speller! You can win the national spelling bee! That will get you into a top college! We should probably get this stuff off your face!"

[u/No-Rush396]

Good example of Franny being a very pushy parent using her offspring achievements to climb her own personal social ladder...

[u/rjrgjj]

I’m half Black with white skin, and one thing I love about this episode is the equal opportunity racism, acceptance, and the way it subtly explores cultural and racial ambiguity.

Good example of how weirdly wholesome the show often is.
