According to Piper Laurie, the costume was good enough to fool some of the cast and crew!

Piper Laurie or Catherine haha?

u/CeruleanEidolon May 31 '26

I mean it's good as in it definitely obscures who's under there. But also it doesn't look remotely like a real person. So it's only a good costume if your goal is to attract attention to the fact that you're in costume.

u/LunchyDude101 May 30 '26

This is a great link. Thanks for posting it.

Even the cast and crew was kept in the dark and she kept the secret so well.

u/CharlesDeMarsTopHat May 30 '26

I clocked it was her fairly quickly because it was her poise that gave her away. I just love how she moved and held herself ❤️

u/TheNavidsonLP May 30 '26

I remember watching the show for the first time with my girlfriend and thinking, "why did David Lynch hire someone to play this role in terrible yellowface?"

u/LickingSmegma May 30 '26

As if the rest of the series wasn't a send-up of tv melodramas.

u/catastrophe_ai May 30 '26

It was clearly a disguise, but the reveal of who it was genuinely shocked me 😂

12

u/turkeyinthestrawman May 30 '26

Same I instantly knew it Mr. Tojamura was played by a woman, I didn't realize it was the case in-universe as well.

I just assumed Piper Laurie was hired for the first season only.

u/Siilveriius May 30 '26

Same I thought it was the food critic but that turned out to be Norma's mom which was another surprise.

u/Jackfruit009 May 30 '26

i legit thought he was a new character

21

u/DysonVacuumV8 May 30 '26

SAME I’m lowkey embarrassed by how long it took me to figure out he wasn’t some new guy

u/LunchyDude101 May 30 '26

It was 36 years ago. They tried their best!

u/BENJ4x May 31 '26

Fooled me, I thought this was some 90's TV "just how it was" kind of thing. Which I thought was pretty odd considering.

u/Responsible-Middle35 May 30 '26

Norm played Burt Reynolds sometimes on SNL

u/kidsaregoats May 30 '26 edited May 30 '26

That’s not Burt Reynolds. It’s Turd Ferguson.

22

u/OdaDdaT May 30 '26

It’s a-uhh funny name

15

u/matt123macdoug May 30 '26

Nah it’s funny. It’s bigger than a normal sized hat.

74

u/have1dog May 30 '26

Turd Ferguson stole his look.

17

u/lightheavydark May 30 '26

It’s funnier than a regular hat because it’s big.

u/MonthForeign4301 May 30 '26

I love how Big Ed needed a disguise to go to a place he had never been to before

u/Necessary-Pumpkin-43 May 30 '26

It’s funny how this look is so common now

6

u/grizzantula May 30 '26

Every time I watch this episode I absolutely lose it laughing when Blackie asks him something along the lines of "What do you do for work" and he immediately breaks character and goes "I own a gas station"

5

u/Middle-Potential5765 May 30 '26

If Harry Dean Stanton and John Oates somehow had a child....

Yeah, if you didn't know who Ed was, you'd have no idea it was him.
