What is the most quotable TV show of all time?
Half of these lines you have said out loud without remembering where you got them.
1The Simpsons
Gave English d'oh, embiggen and cromulent, plus a line for nearly every situation in life.
2Seinfeld
No soup for you, yada yada yada, master of your domain: a sitcom that rewrote everyday speech.
3The Office
Michael Scott's misfired one-liners became a decade of internet shorthand.
4Friends
How you doin', we were on a break, pivot: still quoted thirty years on.
5Breaking Bad
I am the one who knocks, say my name, and a dozen other lines that survived the show.
6Game of Thrones
Winter is coming, you know nothing, and a whole vocabulary of house mottos.
7Parks and Recreation
Treat yourself, literally, and every word Ron Swanson has ever said about bacon.
8It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia
The gang's schemes come with their own permanent vocabulary, from bird law to the implication.
9Arrested Development
A show built out of catchphrases, from huge mistakes to the ever-present narrator.
10The Sopranos
Tony's dialogue turned mob talk into quotable domestic philosophy.
11South Park
Oh my God, they killed Kenny: three decades of lines that outlived their episodes.
12Star Trek
Beam me up, live long and prosper, to boldly go: quoted by people who never watched it.
13Community
Cool cool cool, six seasons and a movie, streets ahead: a fandom fluent in its own show.
14Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Whedon-speak gave a generation its slang for monsters and everything else.
15Curb Your Enthusiasm
Pretty, pretty good: Larry David's improvised discomfort became endlessly repeatable.
