This one one of my favorite scenes from Ugly Betty episode 2.16 (Betty’s Baby Bump). You’ve most likely seen some of the over the top clips, but this one shows the great way that the writers of Ugly Betty use subtle humor.

Some lines just sound funnier when America Ferrera delivers them. I love when the writers have Betty declare that something “sucks”. It just sounds funny coming from Betty’s high-pitched voice. “There’s just not a pooper scooper big enough” is another one of those lines.
I also love the “reliable internet sources” line. If you’ve discussed things …read more

Hopefully, …read more

ABC has released a couple of sneak peek videos for Ugly Betty episode 2.16 (”Betty’s Baby Bump”). The first one deals with the baby shower that Betty throws for Charlie (Jayma Mays).

First off, I love seeing Amanda with this group of women. She almost seems comfortable (but still her usual self).
Secondly, is it just me, or have they made Charlie much more overtly mean? In season 1, you couldn’t tell if she was evil or just inconveniently clueless. This season, she’s Wilhemina with a non-hostile womb.
