Half of these lines you have said out loud without remembering where you got them.
1The SimpsonsGave English d'oh, embiggen and cromulent, plus a line for nearly every situation in life.
2SeinfeldNo soup for you, yada yada yada, master of your domain: a sitcom that rewrote everyday speech.
3The OfficeMichael Scott's misfired one-liners became a decade of internet shorthand.
4FriendsHow you doin', we were on a break, pivot: still quoted thirty years on.
5Breaking BadI am the one who knocks, say my name, and a dozen other lines that survived the show.
6Game of ThronesWinter is coming, you know nothing, and a whole vocabulary of house mottos.
7Parks and RecreationTreat yourself, literally, and every word Ron Swanson has ever said about bacon.
8It's Always Sunny in PhiladelphiaThe gang's schemes come with their own permanent vocabulary, from bird law to the implication.

10The SopranosTony's dialogue turned mob talk into quotable domestic philosophy.
11South ParkOh my God, they killed Kenny: three decades of lines that outlived their episodes.
12Star TrekBeam me up, live long and prosper, to boldly go: quoted by people who never watched it.
13CommunityCool cool cool, six seasons and a movie, streets ahead: a fandom fluent in its own show.
14Buffy the Vampire SlayerWhedon-speak gave a generation its slang for monsters and everything else.
15Curb Your EnthusiasmPretty, pretty good: Larry David's improvised discomfort became endlessly repeatable.
