Trivia[]
- Beetlejuice (especially as Betty) calls Bertha "Burp" (name-games aside, he's probably making fun of her mouth shape.)
- In "Laugh of the Party", Bertha's Halloween costume was a tall, yellow chicken... might've been mistaken for a reference to the rubber chicken gag (via Claire's mistreatment upon arrival), if she didn't arrive at Lydia's party with an egg in her "wing".
- While camping in the Neitherwoods, she and Prudence took on a Tarzan persona, complete with vine-swinging and the yell.
- In an alternate reality in which Beetlejuice never met Lydia (or Prudence), Bertha was making wisecracks about how "uncool" Lydia is next to Claire, and even tries to copy Claire Brewster's valley girl accent. Apparently, she associates strongly with people who have confidence (something Lydia would lack if not for BJ's shenanigans).
- In the latest film Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. It’s said that there’s a hidden Easter egg of Bertha. In a scene where Lydia’s daughter Astrid (played by Jenna Ortega) is riding on a bike around town. She passes by Miss Shannon’s School for Girls. There’s an up close shot of two girls in uniform. One of the girls is tall with brown hair like Bertha.
