She expressed her thoughts to the viewers, in voice-over, though IIRC, not aloud.

She was funny and sarcastic, and cast a dim eye on human foibles… rather like our Cleo.

Just to start the new year,

(HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE)

with some pedantry, Cleo Clifford is Bernadette’s character’s namesake “Cleo.”
 
Here’s a series of vignettes I found on YouTube.
 

 
There are others out there as well.

If I didn’t know better, I would think that was Superchicken.

Mooning it would be entirely appropriate.

They look like an old married couple.

Yeah, and they went to bed at 8pm on New Year’s Eve.

But that’s OK… contentment is good.

Someone said, and i’m probably getting this wrong,
“Instead if ringing in the new year, i’m escorting the last one out.”

I remember the Jack Benny/Mel Blanc routine being done by Bill Dana, using the Jose Jimenez character he created. Small details were different between Bill Dana’s bit and Mel Blanc’s.

Excepting in sauces (where it is mellowed by other flavours) I have never liked tomato juice as a juice.
I have never bought a bottle or vodka drink in my life.
 
From:
“The Bartender’s Bible” by Gary Regan
Published by: Harper Collins 1991
Library of Congress Catalog Card Number 91-55104
 
“Bloody Mary”
 
Quoting from the author’s lead-in to the recipe.
 
     As to who first concocted the Bloody Mary, well, many
different people have taken credit, but it is usually credited to
a bartender at Harry’s New York Bar in Paris during the
1920s. His name was Fernand Petiot“.
 
2 1/2 ounces vodka
5 ounces tomato juice
1/2 ounce lemon juice
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon celery seed
3 dashes Worcestershire sauce
1 dash Tabasco sauce
1 celery rib (commonly called a stick)
1 lime wedge

 
In a shaker half-filled with ice cubes, combine the vodka,
tomato juice, lemon juice, pepper, salt, celery seed,
Worcestershire sauce, and Tabasco. Shake well. Strain into a
highball glass almost filled with ice cubes. Garnish with
the celery and the lime wedge.
 
Notes from me:
A liquid dash is defined as 1/8 teaspoon.
A celery rib is commonly called a stick.
A highball glass is basically any straight sided glass. The volume will, of course, vary.

The new animation is great.

Glad to see it, even if it demoted my clock, which I still love.
