-->--'''Robyn''', ''Series/InTheThickOfIt''

->'''Jay''': The first shot of Creator/ZooeyDeschanel is her big, stupid, gormless face. Someone just hit her with a frying pan.\\
'''V1''': I'll say this: Her character is one of the most frustrating people in the history of the world.\\
'''Jay''': I really didn't like her introduction, because she's just empty-headed and constantly overwhelmed by ''[[HystericalWoman everything]]'' and can't deal with ''anything''.\\
'''V1''': She's just a morbidly unhappy person.\\
'''Jay''': Like, if she wasn't such an arsehole, I'd say that she is a 25-year-old playing a 6-year-old. Mark Wahlberg has ''two'' kids to take care of basically.

->''"It's right about now that I'm beginning to realize that both of my traveling companions are batshit insane. Zell is [[{{Keet}} astonished to the point of wetting his pants]] at the fact that we actually have a ''room'' on the train (Hey, [[NoHeroDiscount for 3000 bucks]], we'd '''better''' have room), and Selphie starts [[TokenMiniMoe working her lolicon, 12-year-old-maturity charms]] on you, singing a "Train Song" that she made up impromptu...on the train...singing about how much she loves trains...[[WordSaladLyrics going to the future?]] Aw, jesus. I'm actually gonna go hang out with Zell seeing as how he's ''less crazy''. (I can't believe I just said that.) Zell, my God, man! You are in your twenties, stop bouncing on the couch! ...And Selphie is already feeling trainsick. Heavy drama in ''FINAL FANTASY VIII: THE QUEST FOR DRAMAMINE.''"''

'''Doc''': You'd have [[DareToBeBadass Pulver, the Congressional Medal of Honor winner]]. Pulver, who single-handed shot down twenty-three attacking Zeros! Pulver who, with his ''bare hands'', held together the severed wing struts of his plane! And with his ''bare feet'', successfully landed his mortally wounded plane on his home field! Reflex. It's like the knee jerk. Strike the patella tendon in any human being, you produce the knee jerk. Look: [Doc hits Pulver in the knee and nothing happens]\\

->''"In the 1940s, [[TheGoldenAgeOfComicBooks the Golden Age of comics]] defined the modern superhero. Great men and women of unwavering morality and courage! Unfortunately, they were all accompanied by half-naked children, ethnic stereotypes, the morbidly obese and idiots who split their time between [[DistressBall getting captured]] and [[TheKlutz slipping on banana peels.]]"''

->''"According to Richman, he started thinking about how much time he's flushed down the toilet being an approachable person after a work meeting in which he let a coworker, David Martin, ramble on and on with an idea everyone knew was "total shit" the moment the man opened his mouth. Richman said that a single glance at the clock made him realize he had just spent 14 minutes of his finite time on earth not playing with his kids or being with his wife, but listening to garbage.\\\
"It was like I stepped out of my body and saw myself actually listening to this man's worthless drivel—but it wasn't him who looked like a moron, it was me," Richman said. "I was nodding my head like an asshole and saying ridiculous things like, 'Right,' and, 'I see your point, Dave,' when I should have just said, 'Dave, your idea isn't good and you are wasting our time and you need to shut up right now.'""''

->''"Hoshi was the character who had to [[NewMeat prove that she belonged on the ship]], who had to properly acclimatise to life on the final frontier. Apparently Berman and Braga were so fond of Hoshi’s character arc in ''Fight or Flight'' that they opted to [[FleetingDemographicRule repeat it]] ''in Sleeping Dogs''...''Vanishing'' Point once again puts Hoshi at the centre of the story -- building an episode around the character’s insecurity and uncertainty. In a way, this seems to be the biggest problem with Hoshi as a character; there seems to be only one major storyline for her character. Each of her major appearances in the first two seasons features the character confronting her own anxieties and fears. The character seems to question her self-worth [[AesopAmnesia twice a season.]]"''

Oh, Keri Lynn Pratt. You're doing your level best to [[DumbBlonde live up to that last name]], aren't you?\\\
I realized, to my, horror, that I've seen this soul-scorching young actress in a great many supporting roles in the last few years. Even worse, we're going to be stuck with her at least one more time this season..."Cat" is, I hope, deliberately reminiscent of a [[Film/TheStepfordWives Stepford Wife]] and does her absolute best to put Clark on edge. Why? Because The {{Odd Couple}} Template is the best comedy routine EVARR!!"''

->'''Lt. 'Doc[='=]''': That's mostly what makes physical heroism: Opportunity. It's a reflex. I think that 75-1000 oung males have that reflex. You take any one of them--say, even Frank Thurlowe Pulver, here--Put him into a B-29 over Japan, and you know what you'd have?\\

->''"It is bizarre how well Adric fits with Creator/TomBaker's Doctor as he was originally envisaged, the [[ArtfulDodger cheeky monkey]] who would [[DopeSlap get a clout around the ear]] by the most acerbic of Doctors. It was when he was partnered with [[Creator/PeterDavison Davison's]] moderate Doctor where things started to go very wrong, because suddenly Adric felt as though he could [[ChallengingTheChief throw his weight around]] and betray the Doctor on a whim and still [[EasilyForgiven hop back in the TARDIS]] at the end of every adventure. He wouldn't try any of that shit with Tom Baker's sizeable incarnation or he would get a smack ''and'' [[GettingTheBoot a boot out of the TARDIS into the vortex]].

->You're a constipator, Peanut. You disturb my shit, and that's annoying.

->Traveling with Elan is kind of like, say, adventuring with syphilis. It ''can'' be done, for a while, but it's not easy and it's not pretty.

->I had met Lupino only once. The gangster ran all his rackets through his right-hand man, Vinnie Gognitti. Gognitti was [[NervousWreck a highstrung whiner on the verge of breaking apart like an overamped Energizer bunny.]] He had the brains to run the business, but he lacked the balls--''always'' falling short.

->You remember what daddy always said. That God gave you a big sister instead of a brain.

->Are you sure you want Fluttershy to come along? I mean, that pony is afraid of her own ''shadow''. [[GenreSavvy She's just going to slow us down.]]

Perhaps the crowning moment of her hideousness is when she nearly dies and the game forces you to [[PressXToNotDie press a button sequence]] in order to revive her with CPR -- although the spiteful cow never actually ''dies'', no matter how many times [[VideogameCrueltyPotential you deliberately fuck up.]]

->Roger tags along with Eddie, but he's absolutely useless for everything except being a load, where [[EverythingTryingToKillYou random birds]] can abduct him and cost you a life out of guilt. Doom's weasels will also butt in to kidnap Roger, where you're forced into a mini-quiz where you need to answer a bad pun....The pun answers are mostly obvious, nothing remotely on the level as ''[[VideoGame/TheSecretOfMonkeyIsland Monkey Island]]''[='=]s insult swordfighting responses, but you'll get sick of these after the first one with [[GoddamnedBats how commonly]] the dang weasels accost you.

->It is bizarre how well Adric fits with Creator/TomBaker's Doctor as he was originally envisaged, the [[ArtfulDodger cheeky monkey]] who would [[DopeSlap get a clout around the ear]] by the most acerbic of Doctors.

He wouldn't try any of that shit with Tom Baker's sizeable incarnation or he would get a smack and a boot out of the TARDIS into the vortex...Baker and Waterhouse are two actors that probably should never have come together (it's like pairing up Creator/LaurenceOlivier and [[Franchise/StarWars Hayden Christensen]]). In the immense shadow cast by the fourth Doctor Adric is pensive, subtle and always trying to impress.

I realized, to my, horror, that I've seen this soul-scorching young actress in a great many supporting roles in the last few years. Even worse, we're going to be stuck with her at least one more time this season. That's right, Cat Grant beta is making another appearance in episode 5 and I cannot fathom why...So, this "Cat" is, I hope, deliberately reminiscent of a [[Film/TheStepfordWives Stepford Wife]] and does her absolute best to put Clark on edge. Why? Because The {{Odd Couple}} Template is the best comedy routine EVARR!!

->First they ran out of {{Red Shirt}}s, and now the writers of ''Series/TheWalkingDead'' are fresh out of Convenient Burdens, too. Don't mistake the two: Red Shirts are entirely different from Convenient Burdens. Red Shirts are just disposable cannon fodder, while Convenient Burdens usually aren't even killed -- they're just perpetually on the verge of it. And they make for bad storytelling because they're usually painfully transparent: The Convenient Burdens only exist as easy plot devices to put the group in trouble when shit gets boring.
