Why she might be annoying:

    She is plump.
    She has a baby-like voice and fussy diction.
    She played middle-aged roles even as a young woman.
    She is typecast as meddlers and busybodies.
    She says her 'true passion' is bowling.
    She went to college on a bowling scholarship.
    She called her one-woman show 'It's Edie in Here' (Whatever that means).

Why she might not be annoying:

    At age 5, her career with a children's dance troupe ended when the choreographer was arrested on a morals charge.
    Many people remember her characters from 'Small Wonder' and 'Valerie' better than they remember the shows themselves.
    While appearing on 'The Howard Stern Show,' she scoffed at Sally Kirkland's kooky New Age religion.
    Before trying comedy, she had a successful career as a public radio producer.
    One critic said: 'Without Edie McClurg, there might as well be no movies.'
