I bumped into her while we were shopping and she crossed the street, hugged me and took photos with me. Coolest experience! I wish I had thought quick enough to quote a line to her now though 😂

Her voicing Syd's grandma in Ice Age was the best. 😄 I always thought it was messed up that the rest of the fam just dropped that old sloth on Syd and took tf off. LOL!!!

Love the Evan Almighty line used but one of my favorite lines from her on the movie was
"I'm going home…"
sees raging flood coming
"LADIES FIRST!!!!"

I can confidently say that I memorize almost all of Wanda’s lines in Monster-in-Law bec I’ve watched it countless times (obviously) since it came out and that’s my introduction to her!
Her and Jane Fonda were hilaaaaaaaaarious!!
“Hide the damn nuts!” 😂

@MiniMama411
March 29, 2026 at 5:23 am
Sorry but her best line in Monster-in-Law was, "Fix your hair. You look like a damn cockatoo!" 🦜😂😂😂😂😂

Alot of white and Mexican women celebrities needs to take notes on age and beauty from Wanda Sykes. Just be beautiful, stay healthy and embrace your age. Stop doing all these unwanted plastic surgeries on the face and chest! I'll make you look older than your age!!! I'm talking to you, Erin Moriarty!!! She was so SO DAMN beautiful on seasons 1 thru 3 of The Boys😢

She is just reading her lines but the way she said them is so funny. That's why she's my favorite comic. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
