"Why are you letting Sam Kinison and an Indian lesbian ruin your wedding?"

So Mo Ryan made an off-hand suggestion on Twitter that we spend less time thinking about "Conveyer Belt of Love" (a real show, as Fienberg explains) and more time thinking of the best TV lines of the year.

Thus, a Twitter meme was started, but I figured why let the tweeps have all the fun? So fire away with any and every funny or deep or memorable line from the last year.

It's a free-for-all, so no spoiler protection, folks. If it aired in '09, it's fair game. Read at your own peril.

I thought the last line of the exchange Kirsten mentioned from BBT was the best and was certainly one of the funniest this year:

"That's no reason to cry. One cries because one is sad. For example, I cry because others are stupid, and it makes me sad."

Works better with the picture, but still funny out of context (Ron Swanson):

"I'm a simple man. I like pretty, dark-haired women and breakfast food. But this stock photo I bought at a framing store isn't real. Today I got the real thing. A naked Tammy made me breakfast this morning. I should have taken a picture of it."

And of course "What the ka-bleep were you thinking?"

Pamela Jaye said...

and the one I really wanted, which ironically won't fit on Twitter

Sheldon: "It must be an emergency; everyone at the university knows that I eat my breakfast at 8 and move my bowels at 8:20."
Leonard: "Yes, how did we live before Twitter?"

It's not funny, it's not a line, but it was probably the thing that got to me the most this year
From Grey's Anatomy, of course (by my favorite, Krista Vernoff):

Meredith: Oh great, is this another heart to heart?
Richard: I know you don't like me, and you have every right not to like me, I have abused my power but now I'm here on your turf. What I need to say, what I need to say is, I saw what your mother was doing, I saw how neglected you were, I saw her drive your father off and I spent a lot of time beating myself up about that, but what does that do for you, nothing, nothing. I wasn't your advocate, I didn't fight for you, I never stood up for you. I let myself off the hook, I told myself I was young and I didn't know any better, but I did know better, I wasn't much younger than you are now. I should've fought for you Meredith, like you fought for that child today, I told myself that I wasn't your father, that it wasn't my responsibility, that I was right not to but in, I let myself off the hook. You were helpless, you were a baby. A beautiful, smart, funny, little girl, and no one stood up for you. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.

Kate: 'Jack's got a bomb'

Rose: 'Who cares?'

K: 'Excuse me?'

R: 'It's always something with you people. Now you say 'Jack;s got a bomb'. And what, you guys are all gonna try and stop him right?'

K: 'That's right.'

R: 'We traveled back 30 years in time, and you're still trying to shoot each other?'

MILES: Who cares who they are? We don’t even know when we are. We’re not supposed to get involved, right?

DAN: Doesn’t matter. Whatever happened, happened.

SAWYER: Yeah, thanks anyway, Plato. I’m goin’ over there anyway. You still got my back?

JULIET: Absolutely.

Almost everything I loved about S5 LOST right there: Snarky/practical Miles; broken Daniel philosophizing about time travel; nicknaming man-of-action Sawyer; Sawyer & Juliet

There are far funnier lines, but the one I keep quoting and hearing is Liz Lemon's "I want to go to there."

And I can't recall it exactly, but the Glee line that went something like "I think they're actually friends; Brittany copies off her math tests" where the her in question has Down's Syndrome.

Cox: For the record, he was the best that ever came through this dump. [J.D. quietly walks behind him] John Dorian was the first and only doctor I ever met who cared as much as I do. And you can forget about him being just an exceptional physician because the fact of the matter is...he's a damn exceptional person. That's why people gravitated to him. That's why I did. He was my friend.

JD: You guys psyched? It's our 8th year! Who's with me?

(low key) Yay!

JD: Come on. I know it's tempting to just mail it in but there's still a lot of people who rely on us week to week. I think we owe it to them to be as inspired as we were in our first few years.
Now I know we never do great come medical awards season (except for Dr Shaloub. he win's everything).But I still think we're as good as anybody else out there.

Turk: The Nielsens certainly beg to differ.

(Nielsens shake heads in unison)

JD: Oh, they're just upset cause their insurance won't cover a private room.

(the similar meta at the beginning of season 5 of Grey's was good too.)

to break for a moment, you make me think that it would be pretty cool if there was an evil character (or supervillain (I'm picturing a hulking, lumbering thing without outstretched arms, but that wouldn't fly in Chuck) named Sepinwall, and people are fleeing, screaming "Sepinwall will Destroy Us!!!!!"

that would be funny.
