Roseanne Conner's (Roseanne Barr) Ventriloquist Dummy Ensemble - ROSEANNE (1988 - 2018)


Roseanne Conner's (Roseanne Barr) ventriloquist dummy ensemble from the original 1980s family sitcom Roseanne. The one-piece ensemble includes a green wool blazer with brass buttons, a button-down shirt with the front cut off in the style of a dickey, red polka dot oversized bow tie, white cotton formal gloves, and two foam dummy legs wearing blue jeans, ivory socks and red Keds suede-like booties. Small, interconnected tubes are glued to the inside of the blazer to allow water to shoot through holes in the front. The entire ensemble is purposefully distressed and elaborately decorated with artificial moss, bugs and webs and it is in very fine, production-used condition overall.

In the episode ‘Trick Me Up, Trick Me Down!’ (406), Roseanne wears the ensemble when she and Dan (John Goodman) perform a standup routine as Deadgar Bergen and his dummy, Mortuary Snerd, a play on famous ventriloquist-dummy duo Edgar Bergen and Mortimer Snerd. The series was well known for its Halloween episodes.
