The very first live-action adaptation of “The Addams Family” debuted in the mid-1960s, with John Astin, Carolyn Jones, Ted Cassidy, Jackie Coogan, Ken Weatherwax, and Lisa Loring playing the titular family. Lisa Loring’s Wednesday is much younger than the usual portrayals, which allowed for even funnier juxtaposition whenever she dropped macabre comments. Wednesday had a much sunnier disposition in the TV show than what most are used to seeing from the more recent movies, but one Wednesday moment has stood the test of time above all others.

In season 2 episode 29 “Lurch’s Grand Romance,” little Wednesday takes it upon herself to teach the gentle giant (played by Ted Cassidy) how to dance. After putting on an upbeat record, she exclaims “This is the latest, it’s called ‘The Drew!'” and begins dancing her little heart out. Wednesday shuffles her feet at a rapid pace, and Lurch looks on in confusion. “You don’t want her to think you’re square, do ya?” she asks.

Lurch clearly does not want this, so Wednesday tells him that as long as he’s a good dancer, she’ll think that he’s “boss.” The moment is painfully cute because Loring is naturally so adorable, but witnessing the generational share of lingo in this spooky mansion will immediately warm your heart. Lurch eventually tries the dance for himself and while he’s not as smooth as Wednesday, he still looks pretty “boss.”
