Phyllis was one hell of a class act! She continuously proved that a person could be hilariously funny without being vulgar. "It's not nice to fuck with K.B.! All you haters will see!" - Kitbradley

Man, I LOVED Phyllis Diller, thought of her often, never forgot she was still with us, and am really sad to learn of her passing. I was such a fan of her work, and even immediately recognized her voice as Peter Griffin's mom on Family Guy. And for someone who made so many jokes about her own appearance, she was such an attractive lady in her youth. My heart dropped as I read the news of her passing. May she rest in peace.

I was crazy about this movie as a kid, and Phyllis Diller was a big part of the reason why. She really knew how to have fun with her image:
