I LOVE THE VANCOME LADY!!!!!

[whoopiedoo2]

I cant belive hardly anyone talks about her on here.

[ComeOnShelley]

Sorry it's taken me so long to finally post; I'm new, so if you all think any of my posts are pointless, I apologize. I promise to do my best, though. So anyway, back to the subject at hand. What do you all think VL's rudest comment was?

[Pizzotty]

I don't know what her rudest was, but the one that sticks out in my mind all the time is:

"Looks like someone ran a tramp through a xerox machine."

Hehe. I love that one.

[Blankboy]

From the Super Bowl special...

"Well, I guess that would be the downside to steroids, wouldn't it?"

[Cagnazzo]

Even though this wasn' t necessarily the rudest or best VL comment by far, this is only one I can think of right now (brain cramp, sorry )

"Oh please, you're so gay, you crap rainbow-colored gerbils."

[potroastpig]

Vancome Lady is my favorite MADtv character!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Played by my favorite MadTV Aactor!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope Nicole will reprise the role again. Cause she did say on the 200th episode 'See you in another hundred episodes'.

[potroastpig]

I want to see plantet of the Vancome's really really bad!!!!! I never saw that one...it sounds halarious!

[mizzimad]

"Planet of the Vancomes" is all right, but it's not one of my very fave VL sketches. It's worth watching, though, just to see Chris Hogan wear a beehive wig and to catch Phil LaMarr's "transformation." Now that I've sparked your curiousity, I'll say no more.

[potroastpig]

I need a new vancome sketch...it's been to long......I hope Nicole will come back and play her. Although if she was telling the truth in the 200th episode she said "I'll see you in another 200 episodes"....we will have to wait till around the end of season 13

I am going by seasons. Nicoles last season was Season 6, Vancome Lady was refreshed in 3 seasons later so she just might be coming up in Season 12!?!?!?

[Debrafan]

I love and miss the Vancome Lady. Her skits were always hilarious in that you have to think about it kinda sense. Kind of like Daria.

[potroastpig]

Just think...if she keeps her word and comes back for the 300th episode we should be seeing her soon!!!!! Were half way through 12 and 300th is in 13!!!!!!

[potroastpig]

it's been to long since her last visit.....she is the best character. I really hope Nicole comes back and we see an amazing Vancome someday soon! Anyone else think she'll come back and do this character again...I like to think so. Since she wasn't in the 300th

I found this picture in the November 8-14, 1997 issue of TV Guide and thought I'd share it. I'm not sure if this belongs in this section or the media section, so feel free to move it if need be:
