Frank and Marie rest in peace. You made us laugh. You two were the most funny on "Everybody Loves Raymond". You will never be forgotten🙏

This episode won an Emmy for writing.

My sister and I quote this line often: “Don’t let a suitcase filled with cheese be your big fork and spoon.” Classic!

What I loved about this show was the unpredictable humor. Debra saying she thought the big fork and spoon were Robert's baby utensils was so unexpected. One of the many reasons this show is a classic.

"Debra, you can't keep cheese in a suitcase." 😂😂😂

for a guy who had no experience in acting...ray made this show as well as the whole cast!! One of best sitcoms ever.

This show was so well-written.

Brilliant writing! You are mad at someone your whole life and think you are holding them hostage when the truth is, they don't even know what they did or remember it. You were the hostage all along. Let it go!

Robert's face when Ray finished his story 😂

The scene with Debra and Marie in the latter’s kitchen will ALWAYS be one of my favorites from this show. For once, Marie isn’t pushing an agenda or being manipulative. Her story is clearly coming from a place of love, and her advice, instead of the passive-aggressive things she usually says, is genuinely helpful and well thought out. It shows that Marie really does care about Debra, and that Debra respects Marie and her wisdom, too. Plus Doris Roberts knocks the monologue out of the park-what an actress. :)

"Debra, you can't keep cheese in a suitcase!!!"

I cant even breath 😂😂😂 "this is all your fault" " when did we get those?" IM DYING 😂😂😂😂😂

“You better be the only ugly thing in this house when I get back” Lmao

“Don’t let a suitcase filled with cheese be your big fork and spoon” - Classic!

I’ve been married 44 years and whenever someone asks me my advice on a long marriage I always say, “Don’t let a suitcase full of cheese be your big fork and spoon.” Works every time.

It bugs me when some people tell me that they don’t find this show funny. I could watch these episodes over and over and crack up every time 😆

I swear this scene is so legendary. After watching it, you'll never keep your eye off from looking for the fork and spoon in other episodes lol.

This episode is based on an actual situation with one of the writers and his wife.

Love the ending when Frank said "When did we get those"? LOL!

Everybody Loves Raymond was the best family therapy we had ever!!! Miss it so much

“Sure, Raymond. I remember every one of your comings and goings. You’re my whole life!” 🤣🤣🤣

It's not hard to imagine couples to have a silent war over just such things. This episode can and has happened to many of us. lol

This amazing episode proves why this show is a classic.

Left out the best part; wrestling with the suitcase at the end.

Marie's reaction when she sees what the big fork and spoon are hiding is priceless

I swear Frank is my spirit animal. It was because of him I got hooked with this show. R.I.P Mr. Pete Boyle, thanks for making my childhood!

The thing I love about this show is how realistic it was. I can totally see this argument happening and also being the one to take the shirt out and wear it. So perfect

They both have passed away, great actors

"I always look for the good raymond"..... That's because you already got the bad and the ugly. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I still have all 9 seasons on dvd, watched front to back over 10 times. This episode is definately top 10.

God, Marie was so good at this role!!!!

I swear the ending when Frank says : " when did we get those ? " Is literally EVERY MAN 😂 Women overthink stuff 😂

OMG hilarious. I’m Italian and my grandparents had the same big fork and spoon on the wall in their kitchen with the matching giant wooden salad bowl on the table ….

I'm shocked, you two seemed so happy!

Frank: "When did we get those"?? In other words, Frank had already risen passed 45 years of pettiness...

So many comments miss the whole point about this episode. Ray and Debra are both wrong - either one could easily have carried the suitcase. Marie’s advice was don’t let a stupid issue like this become a thorn in your whole relationship.

I laughed so hard when it came on! "Debra, you can't keep cheese in a suitcase."

Frank had no idea of WHAT Marie was talking about😂

"So why didn't you just move it yourself?" "Because I'm at work all day" "Oh and what Debra's doing isn't work?" LOOOOOOVE Robert!

“Don’t let a suitcase filled with cheese, be your big fork and spoon.”

This level of petty is unmatched 😂😂😂😂

My wife and I argued over whether toilet paper should roll off the front or the back. We did not fight, but we both felt strongly. I had a dozen solid reasons why rolling off the front was better. She was clearly wrong, emotional, not logical. She did not have a reason. It just felt right to her. Every time either one of us visited the throne we each changed it to the way we liked it -- for years. Then, one day I noticed it had stayed the way I wanted it for several days, maybe a week. I couldn't stand it. I changed it to her way. We both laughed. A month later, I gave her a Christmas card "From now on it will roll off the back. It is a gift I give you. Merry Christmas." That line from Marie is one of the best sayings I have ever heard: "Don't let a suitcase full of cheese be your fork and spoon."

the ending when the big fork and spoon were faded into the wall permanently was the icing on the cake !

That's the best way they could have possibly ended that, with Frank saying, "When did we get those?"

I loved this show because of old lady Marie. She was helarious. her voice and acting skills are beyond description.

This whole show is totally relateable, my grandparents are Frank and Marie times 10000

This was one of the best scenes of the series

Petty as it was this was one of the best episodes. I just laughed when Ray was telling the story especially the part when he said Debra is wearing a sweater she packed in the suitcase and Ray came downstairs with a wrinkled shirt from the suitcase.

The best writers and the best actors. And we have a winner!

Robert face when he say ‘this is insane’ is incredible

"When I get back, you better be the only ugly thing that is left in this house" was just a beginning of 45 years of... joy and happiness. Certain shows must part of a curriculum.

As somebody who grew up with a far bigger fork and spoon set on the kitchen wall, this is hilarious.

RIP Doris Roberts 1925-2016

So glad you put in the scene when Marie removes the fork and spoon. That part is still funny.

Frank's "When did we get those" at the very end is just genius. Really wish tv nowadays had great writing like this.

Wow... Fork and spoon scene is one solid advice to new couples.

3:03 Robert's face is priceless 😂

Brad Garrett one of great comic actors. If you appeared in Seinfeld you have made it . A great actor indeed.

"Don't let a suitcase full of cheese be your fork and spoon" Marie Barone

Marie's words of wisdom live on. I often advise people who bring me into their relationship nightmares to "not let the suitcase full of cheese be your fork and spoon."

That was actually solid advice Marie gave Debra.

"Im going to my mothers and when I get back, you better be the only ugly thing left in this house!" cracks me up every single time.

This is the BEST ELR episode, and it’s GENIUS. Why “genius”? Because it addresses such a common “couples” issue, and yet heretofore - after YEARS of “couples” sitcoms - it had never been done before. ELR was there first, on a theme that should’ve been already done a million times.

When I was a kid I absolutely hated this show we had to watch it before our show would come on afterwards but now I love it 😻

3:00 Robert's face was priceless. 🤣

RIP Marie. May you always criticize Debra's cooking in the great beyond.

It's amazing how this show revolves around the littlest things and it just comes out so funny. How the hell do you do it?

I love the story lines - they are so realistic

There are some very rare moments where Marie Can be a good Mother-in-law

I love women, but y'all sure can keep a grudge 😂😂

Seriously, why didn't Ray finish carrying the case upstairs; he had his hand wrapped around the frigging handle!!

I gotta watch this show again, this was part of my childhood

Brad's face at 3:01 is priceless! Cracks me up every time!

I loved the audience’s reaction when Debra pulled out the cheese.

You better be the only ugly thing when i get back

Maybe the best line in all of Everybody Loves Raymond: "When did we get those?"

I personally LOOOOOVED Debra's intense reaction to Frank broaching the subject of the suitcase. She handled it beeeeeeeautifully and practically threw him out of the house 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 love them both!!!

This is my favorite episode...still makes me laugh like the first time I saw it

Ray couldn't even remember what Debra wore on their wedding day, how could he remember a particular jumper she wore on their crappy vacation? Haha

"When did we get those?" Yep, that's just about right.

i want a big fork and spoon for my own place because of this show

The dynamics between Deb and Marie was awesome.

One of the best episodes ever!

Marie has always claimed she’s immaculate in her “cleanliness,” I wish Debra could of seen underneath the spoon and fork just for laughs haha!! 😂😂

6:26 the groom's side of the church was like a Gypsy camp😂🤣😭 I love Marie lol she reminds me of my grandma. This show is a classic! I still watch it everyday🖤

“How’s the suitcase thing going?” 🤣🤣🤣

Marie on the Big Fork & Spoon: “they’re completely without nuance.” LOL! As if she’s ever been the arbiter of what constitutes art or high class!

Forgot about this show.. sure beats today’s comedy 👏👏🔥🔥🔥

Remember when we went to Connecticut for wknd??? Sure Raymond....I remember each + every one of your comings + goings !

After waiting 5 days, I just unpacked the last suitcase. I didn't want it to become our fork and spoon.

This goes to show that their marriage isn't going anywhere. Even if she takes the fork and spoon down, they'll STILL be there on the wall!

I will always remember this episode it was hysterical I never laughed so much in my life too bad they didn’t show that little final scenes of the episode with Deborah and Ray fighting over who’s going to be move the suitcase and be the bigger person .. that was truly funny 😄 😅

the writers took a prop (big fork and spoon) that's been a part of the set decoration from the beginning and created an amazing story from it

04:54 😂😂😂😂 “... ray.... RAY!😡”

I remember this episode specifically because of the fork and spoon. I LOVE the fork and spoon! I'd hang'em in _my_ kitchen!

For all Marie's insistence she is a meticulous housekeeper, she somehow has failed to notice the big fork and spoon revealing 45 years of kitchen grime, never, apparently, wiped down that wall sufficiently.

Robert: I always look for the good Raymond Ray: yeah it's because you already got the bad and the ugly

Only 3 incredible sitcoms to ever exist in television history... This one and we all know the other 2.

Ray was sooooo childish. Marie's baby,

don't let a suitcase filled with cheese be your fork and spoon
