Ireneparalegal 08-17-2005, 07:34 PM I Love Lucy: "Ethel to Tillie"
slackermonkey 08-17-2005, 08:07 PM "Seinfeld" = ultimate quotable sitcom.
"Friends" is pretty quotable too.
rusyd 08-17-2005, 09:12 PM [QUOTE=slackermonkey]"Seinfeld" = ultimate quotable sitcom.
That's for sure! :)
TheWhiteStripe 08-26-2005, 02:31 PM Arrested Development is the best sitcom to quote. I mean, how do you really beat:
Tobias: I'm afraid that I prematurely shot my wadd on what was suppost to be a dry run and now I have something of a mess on my hands.
Michael:...Just so many poorly chosen words in that sentence.
Johnny S 08-26-2005, 07:31 PM Seinfeld: "These pretzels are making me thirsty!"
Also Friends. Chandler: "Sometimes I wish I were a lesbian." "Did I say that out loud?"
tv star collector 10-23-2005, 02:55 PM Here are a few from some of my favorites.
"M*A*S*H":
Charles: "...tatoos are the common man's way of investing in art."
Father Mulcahey: "Our daily bread is stale again." B.J.: "This meat is from the Civil War: Blue on one side; gray on the other."
Father Mulcahey (to Radar): "Who's Walter?" Radar: "That's my given name." Hawkeye: "Give it back."
"The Andy Griffith Show":
Barney (to Andy): "I say this calls for action, and now. Nip it in the bud!" Barney: "Only one way to take care of this." Andy: "Nip." Barney: "In the bud."
Highly recommended reading: PRIMETIME PROVERBS: THE BOOK OF TV QUOTES, by Jack Mingo & John Javna (1989). I found mine on eBay. John
Javna also wrote THE TV THEME SONG SING-ALONG SONGBOOK (also
recommended).
Fonzarelli 10-23-2005, 07:13 PM Friends:
Joey: Hey, Monica is dating him! There's gotta be SOMETHING wrong with him!
Chandler: Joey, be nice... So, does he have a hump; a hump and a hairpiece?
Chandler: "You're such a nice guy" means: "I'm gonna date leather-wearing alcoholics and complain about them... to YOU!"
Chandler: Sometimes I wish I was a lesbian... (looks around) Did I say that out loud?
Ross: I just want to be married again! (Rachel walks in, wearing a wedding dress)
Chandler: And I just want a million bucks!
Happy Days:
Fonzie: Some guys are good lovers, some guys are good fighters... I happen to be both!
Fonzie: "Fonzie, shut up"? "Fonzie, shut up"? Why don't you just say: "Fonzie, would you remove all my teeth?"; it's the same result.
Fonzie: Where do you keep the ladies at the evening?.. Never mind, I'll find them myself!
Fonzie: The one thing you guys need to understand is that the Fonz has powers that goes beyond explanation!
Fonzie: I'm afraid Ive got to hit her!
Howard: You can't hit my wife!
Fonzie: Well, then I'll have to hit you!
Richie: You can't hit him.
Fonzie: Well, then I'll hit you!
Howard: You can't hit my son!
Fonzie: Well, I've got to hit SOMEONE!.. Where's Potsie?
Marion: Oh, that's right, I haven't taught you about love!
Fonzie: WOW Mrs. C.!
Howard: Fonzie, love is a term in tennis.
Fonzie: 'LOve', 'scoring'.. I think I'm gonna like this game!
Fonzie: Next time I come over to the plan, I'll handle the women!

Fonzie and Chandler are the most quotable tv-characters ever. I could go on forever. :lol:
