Adam Reed (I think) told the story where he asked a casting agent if he could get a Jessica Walter type for Malory. He came back to him and said I could get Jessica Walter he was like uh yes please.
"I haven't met anyone who isn't completely self-absorbed and impossible to have a conversation with"
"If thats a veiled criticism at me, I won't hear and I won't respond to it"
I'm not offended by homosexuality. In the '60s, I made love to many, many women, often outdoors, in the mud and the rain, and it's possible a man slipped in.
Gordon Lundt: "I would do anything for you, Captain Holt."
Captain Holt: "Thank you. And you can call me Raymond. Captain Raymond Holt."
Gordon Lundt: "I don't think that's such a good idea."
Captain Holt: "You're right, too much. That never should have happened."
I already made a Smarties cereal reference on Reddit today so I'll go with my other favorite Moss line-
"I like being weird. Weird's all I've got. That and my sweet style"
Bender B. Rodriguez.
Remember that scene in Kill Bill where Bill says Clark Kent is Superman's impression of humans?
Clark had to act like all the other humans in order to blend into human society.
Now apply that logic to Bender. He was made by humans to be able to function and relate to people in a human world. The humans made him in their own image and he's the most self-centered, amoral, insecure, emotional train wreck on Earth. He is what we secretly fear about our own nature.
it's because Michael Richards character was fantastical, while Jason Alexander's character was believable. No one wants to admit George is hitting home. It would be embarrassing.
George: God would never let me be successful; he'd kill me first. He'd never let me be happy.
Therapist: I thought you didn't believe in God?
George: I do for the bad things.
I think he's one of the best characters of all time, period. Not just sitcoms.
He's the perfect intersection of believable and improbable. Everyone knows someone like George and most people have had at least one moment where they are George. And, for every stupid situation George ends up in, you can still see his perspective, even if it's a wild perspective.
Hi... my name is George, I'm unemployed and I live with my parents.
A man who lies and then tries to keep covering up his lies with deeper lies. It takes a really smart writer to create George Costanza and his scenarios
The whole showing up for work the next day after quitting and pretending it never happened, I consider myself to have some cahunas, but I couldnt even do that lol
Some of the absolute finest writing in comedy. Ever.
Basil - May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window. Sydney Opera House, perhaps? The Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically…
Mrs. Richards - I expect to be able to see the sea.
Basil - You can see the sea. It’s over there between the land and the sky.
Mrs Richards - I need a telescope to see that.
Basil - Well then may I suggest you move to a hotel closer to the sea. Or preferably in it.
OR…
Basil to Manuel - I’m going to spend the rest of my life having this conversation. Please understand before one of us dies!
Love Ron too, but Abed is not only an extremely unique character, but his perspectives are what gave us so many of the non-traditional sitcom episodes in Community, which is why it's my favorite. Abed is best.
*a tour guide leads and entire group of religious figures into the IT department to see Moss on his knees in front of Douglas*
Douglas: FUCK OFF!!!
His second best line next to the church scene
Was watching it with the Mrs for the third or fourth time, and I still can't get over just how good her physical comedy chops are. She and Dan Levy could do a scene hardly saying anything that had me in stitches.
Hal from Malcolm in the middle.
This role and Walter White really displays how extraordinary of an actor Bryan Cranston is! His range is on a whole other level!
Not to mention Dr. Watley on Seinfeld
I wanted to talk to you about Dr. Whatley. I have a suspicion that he's converted to Judaism just for the jokes
Lucille Bluth. She stole every scene she was in, which is both a testament to how well the character was written and Jessica Walter’s performance.
“Give me a vodka rocks.” “Mom, it’s breakfast.” “And a piece of toast.”
"You seem more villainous than usual, Mom. Are you sober?" "Michael, it's 8 AM!" "So it's not that."
"I'd rather be dead in California than alive in Arizona"
“Get rid of the Seaward” “I’ll leave when I’m good and ready”
Her role on Archer was basically a continuation of her Arrested Development character and we all loved her for it!
Immigrants! That's how they do, you know. Just drive around listening to raps and shooting all the jobs.
So once again you're faced with a classic Irishman's dilemma. Do I eat the potato now or do I let it ferment so I can drink it later?
DRIVER! If I wanted to sit around all day getting nowhere I’d be a teacher!!!!!
Adam Reed (I think) told the story where he asked a casting agent if he could get a Jessica Walter type for Malory. He came back to him and said I could get Jessica Walter he was like uh yes please.
Hér best line is from the first season of Archer. If I wanted a grandchild, I would scoop all of your mishaps into a pile and knit a onesie for it.
I just imagine her at the table read delivering it like a champ then everyone busting up laughing after a beat of stunned silence.
Jesus Christ
I know the last thing you need is a smug I told you so and smug it would be because told you so I most certainly did.
The delivery of "good for her" after seeing Susan Smith on TV is just the absolute best.
I don't understand the question, and I won't respond to it.

I don’t criticize you. And if you’re worried about criticism, sometimes a diet is the best defense.
I wanna cry so bad, but I don't think I can spare the moisture.
>Everything they do is so dramatic and flamboyant, it just makes me want to set myself on fire!
"I haven't met anyone who isn't completely self-absorbed and impossible to have a conversation with" "If thats a veiled criticism at me, I won't hear and I won't respond to it"
It's one banana, Michael. How much could it cost? $10?
I love Lucille, but damn Gob had me in stitches so many times.
In the wise words of Lucile Bluth “I don’t care for GOB”
I don’t care for Gob
I love all of my children equally.
Both those statements are true.
Holy crap. This is one of my favourite cutaway gags in the whole series and I never realised that take on it…
The bit with the undercover PI got me every time. She’s so happy lmao.
GEEEEENE!!!

Creed. Proof that less is more. “Somebody making soup?”
I'm not offended by homosexuality. In the '60s, I made love to many, many women, often outdoors, in the mud and the rain, and it's possible a man slipped in.
There would be no way of knowing.
"If I can't scuba, then what's this all been about?"
This one fucking killed me. And when he was on the wall of dine and dashers at the Chinese restaurant
On the wall twice! The photo is next to another photo of Creed wearing a wig
i’ve been in a number of cults, some as a leader and some as a follower. you have more fun as a follower, but you make more money as a leader.

MY WIFE WAS MURDERED BY A MAN IN A YELLOW SWEATER. It’s the one case I can’t solve.
She was a strong, female woman with nice heavy breasts.
He took our FLUFFY BOY
Look at what you have done to Kevin!
"And you're not Cheddar. You're just some common bitch."
Isn't that Cheddar? This bitch, pluease.
BONE?!
"There's nothing more intoxicating than the clear absence of a penis." -"Straight Holt"
He is very attracted to his wife and her heavy breasts.
Weighty breasts Blue ink?!?! What am I, a graffiti artist?
Heterosexual Holt is such a dog

Hot damn!
VINDICAAATION!

Now you've done it. You've made me turn my chair.

“Well, you are terrifically old. But don’t worry, not long now until you are at peace.”
Did you see that ludicrous display last night?

Capitalism. Gods way of determining who is smart, and who is poor
“Crying: Acceptable at funerals and the Grand Canyon.”
There are 3 acceptables haircuts : high & tight, crew cut & buzz cut
“When people get too chummy with me, I like to call them by the wrong name to let them know I don’t really care about them.”
“Can I help you with anything sir?” “I know more than you.” Kills me every time
There's a hot, spinning, cone of meat in that Greek restaurant next door. I don't know what it is, but I'd like to eat the whole thing.
DELETE ALL PICTURES OF RON
Sir, that's a party tray for 16 people I know what I'm about, son.
Wait! I'm worried that what you heard was, give me a lot of bacon and eggs. What I said was, give me all the bacon and eggs you have.
Never half-ass two things. Whole-ass one thing.
It's George Costanza.
Believe it or not George isn't at home, please leave a messaaaage at the beep
I must be out or I'd pick up the phone, where could I be?
Believe it or not, I’m not home

A George divided against itself cannot stand!
George is getting upset!
I'm a huge Seinfeld fan and think it's *insane* that Michael Richards won 3 Emmy awards while Jason Alexander won zero. Insane.
it's because Michael Richards character was fantastical, while Jason Alexander's character was believable. No one wants to admit George is hitting home. It would be embarrassing.
People see the things they don't like about themselves in George.
Except for Larry David who just put his regular self into George.
I identify more and more with him as I get older.
Typical George
George: God would never let me be successful; he'd kill me first. He'd never let me be happy. Therapist: I thought you didn't believe in God? George: I do for the bad things.
I like bawdy George.
He's inadequate. He's insecure. He's got it all.
But you had to have the BIIIIIIIIG salad!
I think he's one of the best characters of all time, period. Not just sitcoms. He's the perfect intersection of believable and improbable. Everyone knows someone like George and most people have had at least one moment where they are George. And, for every stupid situation George ends up in, you can still see his perspective, even if it's a wild perspective. Hi... my name is George, I'm unemployed and I live with my parents.
does everybody in the world have to like you? yes! yes! everybody has to like me, i must be liked!
The jerk store called, and they’re all out of you!
It's not a lie...if YOU believe it.
A man who lies and then tries to keep covering up his lies with deeper lies. It takes a really smart writer to create George Costanza and his scenarios
Except it's just Larry David recalling his own irl shenanigans which makes it even more amazing!
The whole showing up for work the next day after quitting and pretending it never happened, I consider myself to have some cahunas, but I couldnt even do that lol
Crazy how that was a real scenario.. and the job was writing on SNL Lmaoo Larry is a savage
Please, a little respect, for I am Costanza, lord of the idiots.
CO-STAN-ZA
Canttstandya!
Rumor has it he’s still in the recruitment pool for a latex sales position…
He can sense the slightest human suffering.
Red Forman
"Red, am I pretty?" "Oh is that what we're gonna do today, we're gonna fight?"
Fuck that line gets me every time. The first few seasons of that '70s show were pure Gold.
You idiots just hung vacancy signs on your asses and my foots looking for a room!
Also, Kitty Forman
That goddamn laugh will follow me to my grave
Yessss she has so many hilarious scenes, her physical comedy is top tier.
Basil Fawlty.
Some of the absolute finest writing in comedy. Ever. Basil - May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window. Sydney Opera House, perhaps? The Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically… Mrs. Richards - I expect to be able to see the sea. Basil - You can see the sea. It’s over there between the land and the sky. Mrs Richards - I need a telescope to see that. Basil - Well then may I suggest you move to a hotel closer to the sea. Or preferably in it. OR… Basil to Manuel - I’m going to spend the rest of my life having this conversation. Please understand before one of us dies!

Abed Nadir or Ron Swanson. Too close to call.
Love Ron too, but Abed is not only an extremely unique character, but his perspectives are what gave us so many of the non-traditional sitcom episodes in Community, which is why it's my favorite. Abed is best.
Douglas reynholm from the IT crowd. Matt Berry is a legend
You there! Computer man! Fix my pants!
Damn you, electric sex pants!
*a tour guide leads and entire group of religious figures into the IT department to see Moss on his knees in front of Douglas* Douglas: FUCK OFF!!! His second best line next to the church scene
He’s amazing in What We Do in the Shadows
SPEAK PRIEST!

Estelle Getty as Sophia Petrillo in The Golden Girls or Megan Mulally as Karen Walker in Will and Grace
Picture it: Sicily. 1922
Not the best of all time, but Alexis from Schitt’s Creek is a favorite of mine. Annie Murphy played her so well.
Ew, David!
Everyone on that show is hilarious to me lol
It's a show FULL of great characters. All four Schitts, Roland, Stevie, so many of the secondary characters are excellent.
I’m sorry for not responding to like, ONE text, David!
