One of my favorites was from the episode "Monday" when they were talking about abstinence programs and Lucy says under her breath, "I HAVE MY OWN INVOLUNTARY ABSTINENCE PROGRAM IN PLACE." Although to be honest the first time I heard it I thought she was saying "I had my own involuntary abstinence program in high school." Either way it's a great line.
What are some of your favorite lines from the show?
i love when jordan gives danny da note in his watch when there stuck on the roof and says "don't make fun of my magic".
"I've fallen for you like a blind roofer!"
"I'm crazy about you"
Sometimes the simplist ones are the best.
I agree about the simple lines...one of my favorites is:
"Say it!"
(Demonstrated the great friendship between Matt & Danny - one of the many, many things I love about this show!)
"So it always knows..."
There are so many great lines/exchanges; it's hard to pick favorites, but this one's good:
Jordan: "What if you did tank tonight? What are you afraid would happen?"
Matt: "Strangers wouldn't like me, friends wouldn't like me, the network wouldn't like me, the press wouldn't like me, women in general wouldn't like me, and Harriet wouldn't like me."
Jordan: "Is he in therapy?"
Danny: "Nah, he's got me."
And these:
Matt: "One of the things this show does is decide what's cool, and I've just decided it's no longer cool for grown men to dress as if they're in junior high school. We're going to act, dress, talk, write and behave professionally."
[Harriet bursts through the door.]
Harriet: "You are an adolescent, oversexed, whore-monger with the sensitivity of a head of cabbage!"
Matt: "And all that will begin in just a few minutes."
Danny: "Are they fixing it?"
Cal: "In a manner of speaking, yeah."
Danny: "What does that mean?"
Cal: "They don't know how to fix it."
Danny Tripp: “We're having a baby”?
Jordan McDeere: “I'm having a baby.”
Danny Tripp:” Relax! You'll be involved.”

Danny: "She wants us to make fun of her."
Matt: "Okay.. well your teeth are pretty big."
Very funny.
Ross:"I am so gonna score.."
Girl:"What?"
Ross:"I like your BOW!"
Gotta love ...
Matt: He's giving the nazi salute
Cal: ... well now that you've said it that's all I can see

(real care baby's eye's just came out of its head)
Jordan: What did you do to it?!
Danny: It was in an accident
Jordan: What kind of accident?
Danny: A freak accident
Jordan: What kind of freak accident?
Danny It was decapitated in an 18th century french guillotine

(Jack walks in drunk)
Jack: Guess who's in hizaaay
Cal: Suzanne! Tarps over everything!
simply Matt Perry saying.... " Im Eating It....!"
Dunno why just cracks me up all the time
"What comes after the coyote?"
Someone help me remember the rest, because that was my favorite scene in the show!
'You may very well think that; I couldn't possibly comment'
I'd rather have Lorne Michaels Office... well Lorne is in NY and thats far away.
shareCal is so funny in that episode (and others too). I love his line "Fine! I'm gonna bring in a crew, we're gonna rip up the floor, and when I find these animals...I'm gonna cook 'em, and I'm gonna eat 'em! " in front of the woman from Animal Humane. I had to pause the episode for a few minutes until I had stopped laughing before playing the rest.
shareSuprised no one has mentioned the scene where Matt correctly predicts when Jordans cell phone will ring... definitely a laugh out loud moment..
Danny: "THAT WAS SICK!" lol
Yep the guilotine bit, and Matt saying I'm eating it.
Kudos to the chaps that mentioned that above me, but those really made me laugh.
"Send Jack Rudolf a nice thing of baloons"
Nice!
Sx
"Send Jack Rudolf a nice thing of baloons"
Nice!

Jordan: "Here's where I think the beauty lies - now we all get to be unctuous british gossip bitches. Maybe it was Bob's baby"
She did it with the accent and this face. I just found that really funny. Especially with the last bit: Maybe it was Bob's baby!

one of my favorites is one of those subtle jokes alot might have missed in Sorkin's quick paced intelligent dialogue:
[Matt, Ricky, and Ron are in the writer's room, Lucy & Darius were just sent out. Matt is confronting Ricky & Ron about them leaving to bring Peripheral Vison to FOX.]
Matt: Do you care we didn't do a very good show tonight?
Ricky: I thought it was fine, Matt. But i'm sorry if your ego can't sustain a week of not being called a genius.
[Matt looks at Lucy's laptop]
Matt: Descent is spelled with an 'S'.
Ron: Are you gonna let us have it?
Matt: I dunno - without the 'S' it's decent.
maybe not a laugh out loud moment, but it made me laugh. These kind of jokes may be why some people didn't like the show.... they didn't understand the humor/it's not their kind of humor. Fortunatly for me, it's my kind of humor.
Danny: Okay we're gonna do this like we did a couple hours ago only...legal!
Danny: You sure you don’t want to come to breakfast?
Matt: No, I’ve still got 2:20 to fill.
Danny: Well, maybe by the time we get back something funny will have happened.
Matt: I don’t write the news; I can’t wait for something funny to happen. I have to make something funny happen. [Matt sits in his chair with his bat, and the bat slams through the glass window behind him.]
Danny: Well, you’re the best.
Cal: Harry, are you going to have time after “Meet the Press” to get out and in for “News 60”?
Harriet: What’s the time, 2:20?
Cal: Yeah.
Harriet: I can make the change with 30 seconds to spare.
Cal: Really?
Harriet: Unless you want me wearing clothes.
Cal: Well, I don’t.
Matt: The audience was standing out in the heat for a pretty long time, people don’t laugh as much when they’re hot cause they’re sticky and uncomfortable.
Danny: All right, good pep talk.
And so many more.
"They have a grill, it's this grill. Now you have it...it's called America."
Andy: The original Hebrew uses the world alma to describe the Virgin Mary, which means a young woman of marriagable age, not the word bethla, which means virgin.
Matt: Where are you getting this?
Andy: Virgin births debunked
Matt: Okay.
Andy: dot org.
It's the dot org that takes the cake.
