I Love Lucy: "Ethel to Tillie"

"Seinfeld" = ultimate quotable sitcom.

"Friends" is pretty quotable too.

[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?"

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).

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.
