[Bombtrack]

1. What a hacky fuckin list. If it doesn't have "I wanna dip my balls in it" it isn't worth shit

also the inclusion of "You're fired" makes the lists creators worthy of exile.

[The Count]

6. "You're fired" irritated me too, but I think popularity is what they went for

By their own criteria, I'd have added:
"Mickey likes it"
"To the Moon, Alice"
"Wilmaaaaa" (Flintsones)
and Homer's "Why, I oughta..."
Also, Bones's "he's dead, Jim"
Kirk: Beam me up, Scotty"

[Left Is Write]

11. My guess would be that they limited the quotes to one per show or person.

[caty]

2. Actually the phrase

"You rang?" started on "The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis" by the character Maynard G. Krebs.

"His speech was full of colorful catch phrases such as "You rang?" and "Like, I'm getting all misty."

[JackBeck]

3. One that gets said to me all the time:

"Just Jack" with jazz hands to the side of the face.

From "Will & Grace".

[cwydro]

4. Ward, there's something wrong with the Beaver.

If they don't have that, then too bad.

[ironflange]

8. Ward, weren't you a little hard on the Beaver last night?

:rofl:

[BreweryYardRat]

5. Shit, here's six quotes that beat anything from that list hands-down.

I don't even have to look at it.

"Would you get back in the car?"
"Try asking nicely."
"Please get back in the car, or I'll beat you senseless?"

"There's no smoking in here."
"What are you going to do, arrest me for smoking?"
"No, but I'll hold this blowtorch to your head."

"How do we kill 'em?
"Can't kill'em, O'Malley, cause they're already dead."
"You know what I mean, can we shoot 'em?"
"No internal organs to disrupt."
"Ah, we'll light it on fire."
"Not internally flammable."
"Drown 'em?"
"How many more ways of hurting things can you think of?"

Edit:
"Road Trip. I call shotgun!"
"I think I can arrange for one."

"I don't care if you are an eyewitness. One more smart ass remark and I'll lock your ass up for the rest of the decade!"

"One specially outfitted mobile command vehicle: $172,000, Custom Weaponry and ordinance: $211,000."
"Watching Carl squirm in pain...Priceless!!"

[Gidney N Cloyd]

7. They're going to give the Odd Couple credit for "Never Assume"?

I vaguely remember the episode with Felix at a blackboard circling Ass, u, and me but I can't believe that was an original joke.

[ironflange]

9. Here's one I expected

"Cheeborger, cheeborger, cheeps, cheeps, Bebsi, Bebsi!"

[The Count]

12. "She likes the juice", "Nevermind...",Live from NY...."

Plenty of quotes from SNL, when it was funny...

[NewJeffCT]

10. pretty good list

Most of the quotes are memorable. I'm sure there are plenty of good ones missing, but it's better than a lot of lists I've seen.

[Crabby Appleton]

13. where's " I pity the fool "

Mr. T
