Fans were nauseated by Becky’s mop work, to say the least. “Darlene is right!!!! And she is also right that it’s so gross!! Yuck!!” said @sonyab1974. They later commented that “Becky had to mop the table after mopping the floors!” adding a nauseated face emoji. It looks like the scene made a lot of “The Conners” devotees as sick and green-faced as poor, perpetually suffering Ben.
Some bought personal experience to their disgust. “Kids in detention at my high school used to clean the tables in the cafeteria with mops. It was the nastiest thing I had ever seen,” observed @JoshMarino420. In fact, “Nasty” was the operative word many fans used to describe their emotions. @TommieGirlsWurl summed up a lot of people’s horrified feelings with a simple “Becky that’s nasty.”
That’s not to say audience members didn’t get a couple of laughs out of the situation. Some viewers found Becky’s trolling of Darlene funny, and others simply got a kick out of watching the women navigate their grown-up relationships in a way that reflects their childhood relationships. But maybe next time the show’s writing team should remember that some folks like to pair the show with dinner — hopefully on a completely clean kitchen table of their own.
