Like howRed Forman’s iconic quotesand jabs are projected towards him, Eric usually responds with the same gusto.
That ’70s Showaired for eight seasonsfrom 1998-2006, with the original series containing 200 episodes.
In 2023, Netflix developed a spinoff titledThat ’90s Show, revolving around Eric and Donna’s daughter.
10"Fez, Tell Us What Happened.
And Don’t Be Afraid To Use Colorful Words Like Sweaty, Or Fondle, Or Forbidden."
Everyone teases Fez relentlessly for the contents of his subconscious.
Kelso is as disturbed by the dream as Fez.
9"You Dance With Mary Jane, You Get Your Toes Stepped On.
Consequences, My Friend."
That ‘70s Show was one of Fox’s most popular sitcoms upon its release in 1998. Starring Topher Grace (Eric Forman), Laura Prepon (Donna Pinciotti), Mila Kunis (Jackie Burkhart), Danny Masterson (Steven Hyde), Wilmer Valderrama (Fez), and Ashton Kutcher (Michael Kelso), That ‘70s Show revolves around the teens’ mishaps as they grow up in Point Place Wisconsin in the 1970s.
With nothing to sell, rebel Hyde (Danny Masterson) makes laced brownies to help out.
Unknowingly, the adults eat the brownies, getting them high and acting funny.
The teens don’t know how to handle the adults without exposing the truth about the brownies.
The subdued demeanor is comically compared to Red’s normal, high-strung, and annoyed self.
The Forman family is at the center of That 70s Show and its Netflix spinoff That 90s Show.
Read on for an explanation of the family tree.
Eric repeats this line several times, making sure Red and the audience know what he’s eating.
His pronunciation gets sillier and more dramatic with each reading.
7"You Only Think She’s Hot Because She’s Made Of Hellfire."
Somehow, it is very similar to his relationship with his sister Laurie.
It’s a weird character trait that, while funny, often makes Eric hard to love.
Jackie is not always kind, but he definitely paints her in a bad light, often unfairly.
Red makes some initial jabs at Eric’s sass.
Then, when pretending to be his father, Eric delivers the said octopus line.
This is indirect reference to Red’s infamous threatsabout kicking people’s asses.
This is one of the few “foot-in-ass” jokes not told by Red over the series.
5"Because You’re Breaking Up The Band, Yoko!"
Fearing Kelso’s reaction, he begs them to stop hooking up and let things remain the same.
Red begins to question what Eric is going to do with his life.
He asks about his son’s plans for moving out, Donna, and getting a job.
Season 7 was Topher Grace’s last season on the show.
3"Sticks And Stones May Break My Bones, But Kelso Nailed Your Sister."
Eric and Fez roast Hyde several timesduring this episode, usually using the word “nailed.”
They are determined never to let Hyde forget what Kelso did.
So the crew misses no opportunity to make fun of Hyde, even though he’s technically not.
2"God, What Did You Have For Breakfast This Morning?
Carnation Instant Bitch?"
That ’70s Showis available to stream on Peacock and Sling.
1"I Love… ## Season 2, Episode 7
After Donna tells Eric she loves him, he panics.
Obviously, this creates conflict in the episode, as everyone agrees thatEric’s response was dumb and inappropriate.
Eric has to find a way to make things right with Donna before the damage is irreparable.
Later in the episode, Fez tells Eric another great line, exemplifying the priorities of a teenage boy.
According to Fez, “Cake is good, but you cannot have sex with cake.”
It’s also a reminder of how important this moment is in the history of the well-beloved sitcom.
Eric Forman and his dorky quips are some of the funniest and most iconic parts of the original series.
