I absolutely love this show. And love to watch the reruns. They are just as funny 10+ years later. Laurie Metcalf is a comic genius. Without saying a word, she can make me laugh. And John Goodman too. My favorite scene from the entire Roseanne series is an end credit scene...Dan and the spoiled milk.
Has me roaring every time I see it. I think some of their funniest stuff was aired during the end credits. I found this online article of Roseanne's Top 5 End Credit Scenes...

Roseannes Top Five End Credit Scenes

So, Ive been catching repeats of Roseanne lately (one of my favorite sitcoms) and not only has it reminded me what a great series it was, but Id forgotten that, sometimes, the best part were the scenes shown during the end credits. After giving it some thought, here are my top five best end credit scenes:
No. 5 - The homage to Cops:
You didnt have to be a regular watcher of Cops to know that this sequence captured the series beautifully; the shaky camera, the cursing, the belligerence, the expected running criminal in DJ, and Rosie wearing the quintessential wife beater.
No. 4 Linoleum Sock Skating with Scott Hamilton:
To watch Olympic gold champion Scott Hamilton sock skate in the Connors kitchen was hilarious and then with Mark joining him (and winning the competition I believe) and the entertaining commentary, well, you couldnt lose.
No. 3 Madame Beverly:
Bev and her beau are in her bedroom talking about Bevs recently healed, uh, bedroom-related injury and if its safe to try again. Then, Bev comes out of the bedroom and we see that shes clad in all leather from head to toe complete with cap and cat o nine tails. But shes still our Bev as she fluffs a pillow, puts items away, turns out a light and, with a swing of the whip, heads back to the bedroom.
No. 2 They say shes the same, but she isnt the same:
This one was downright brilliant, the episode itself was actually a clip show, but it was so more than that. Jackie plays her much older mother while Dan plays a much older DJ. The setting is a therapists office where we see DJ consistently repeating the above-mentioned phrase, which has Bev beyond confused. The fascinating part was so were viewers. What could he be talking about ? As the clips are shown, the mystery isnt made any clearer. Then, during the end credits, viewers finally see the source of DJs bewilderment; he was referring to the two actresses who played Becky !! Hence, they say shes the same, but she isnt the same, so, brilliant, right ?
No. 1 Dan and the Spoiled Milk:
This end-credit scene begins innocently enough with Dan getting milk in the kitchen. But with his first sip, its clear that something is wrong. Dan drops the carton on the table and has the worst/best reaction to the spoiled milk. He thrashes, lashes out, falls to the floor, clutches his throat, shakes, shivers, and Im sure his eyes rolled back too. After a few moments, he pulls himself off the floor, still recovering from the bitter experience, picks up the offending milk, and
puts it back in the fridge !!!! Then, he throws himself back on the kitchen floor as if the ghost of the spoiled milk still has him in his grip. Its no wonder why this is my no. 1 pick.
