11.16.09 THE TOP 100 QUOTES FROM ‘THE WIRE’

Dennis “Cutty” Wise likes your mom’s peach cobbler.

Your mom never runs out of honey nut.

what? no “That’s protestant whiskey” ?

Am I the only one who reacts weirdly to a Wire cast member making a guest appearance on another show?

I saw State Senator Clay Davis on Law and Order as a serial killer religious dude who killed sinners, and everytime they asked him a tough question, I was waiting for the “sheeeeiiitt.”

I could argue with this list all day. Then expand it to a thousand. There goes my day at work, I guess.

Got that Paaaaaannnnnnndemic.

they missed the one where that one African American man told the other African American Man to have intercourse with his family matriarch. That was a lively display of spirit!

@Danger

It was a rough day when Michael showed up on 90210 and didn’t kill anyone.

I can’t believe that didn’t have, “The cheese stands alone!” or “Aaaaay-yoooooo!” from Omar.

@ Danger. Watched Flags of Our fathers last night and it had the slimy journalist Templeton playing the investigative son of the Navy Corpsman and Fick from Generation Kill playing another Marine; so not too jarring.

Many of the great lines in the link but my fave Prop Joe line was, “You sellin’ piss and calling it shit.”

Snatch Pops!

I go crazy as well for any Wire alum that appears anywhere else except the Wire, even when said appearance happened years before they were on the Wire. Frankie Faison (Commissioner Burrell) is fucking everywhere, man.

I practically shit a brick when I saw Omar on a street as a pedestrian in NYC in The Hulk w/ Ed Norton. (Look for him in The Road trailer too).

Whatup bird!

“they shot off my grandmama’s best church crown!!” I loved Omar!!!

The greatest show of all-time, hell, of all media. My favorites:

“WHERE THE FUCK IS WALLACE? WHERE WALLACE? WHERE WALLACE AT, STRING?”

“It’s all in the game, yo.”

“You happy now, bitch?”

“Indeed.”

“I thought I might legalize drugs.”

I’m still waiting for my chance to use this in real life:

McNulty: Can I get a Jameson?
Bartender: Bushmills OK?
McNulty: That’s Protestant whiskey.

Yeah, we’re pretty proud of the guy. He’s done stuff for us before, and we’re happy to have him as one of our contributors:

They had when Slim kills Cheese. But how do you cut out the part where the old guy says “This sentimental motherfucker just cost me money!”
