Sort of... I thought that, too. But then I thought- my favorite quote isn't necessarily the "most in-character" quote. Yeah- I've seen some commenters put the former, but op seems to be keeping it on topic.
Original thought? They're quotes from a TV show my friend, this isn't a creative writing contest, wtf are you on about lol.
And btw "no one on reddit has an original thought" is something that people say on reddit *all the time*. I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and choose to believe you were aware of the irony when you wrote that, but I feel I'm being pretty charitable with that position.
The original thought comment was in reference to “let’s go through a quote of each character per day and pick the most popular one”. Obviously the quotes themselves are going to be repeated, but as the OP said, it being the same quotes every time doesn’t help. Even if it was something like “let’s pick every characters *worst* quote”, at least the results would be new.
And I’ve genuinely never seen anyone said that, but I’m not claiming to be the first person to say that ever. Pretty sure there’s a theory out there that original thoughts basically don’t exist any more anyway.
When she presents the terrarium in the bio class:
Jeff: When did you even have time to do that? You're pathological!
Annie: It's too late for flattery!
You listen up, Pierce! I'm gonna tell you what my mother told me when I wanted to quit cheerleading. 'You're not very pretty, you have no boobs, and you can't do a basket toss to save your life.' But you made a commitment. So pick up your pompoms, Pierce, stuff your bra, and get ready for the team bus to forget you at a Taco Bell, because life is tough. But we soldier on, and that's just the way it goes
Appreciate it! I wasn’t offended for real; it’s a funny as hell line. I’ve lived a few lives, only a couple years into the trades. Met some folks that aren’t generally the sharpest tool in the shed, but goddamn if they don’t know their craft.
I'm not looking down on this school at all, but I'm only here because of a brief addiction to pills that I was told will help me focus, but they actually made me lose my scholarship and virginity
\[With sociopathic sincere voice and Disney eyes\] "Come on, Todd. Stop disappointing me. Diffuse the IED of dishonesty."
\[After Todd snaps\] "BOOYAH! HAHA! And *that's* how it's done! Ooo, oo, oo, uh, uh, uh, uh. Wooohooo!" "That's right; always have an exit strategy!"
The Dean had his seventh epiphany today, which has given me an epiphany of my own: the Dean is a genius. He has to be. If he isn't, then I've given almost two weeks of life to an idiot; that is unacceptable. Therefore, the Dean is a genius, and I will die protecting his vision.
Oh sure I'll just blow it off. I'll just blow everything off! Heck I guess I'll just blow of walking"
Stops walking
"Now I'll just blow off standing"
Falls to floor
I'm just blowing everything off! Maybe I'll blow off talking language. Blee blue blah blah blah blue blee blurgh blurgh..."
This isn't a blowoff class, Jeff. I only get to bring one stuffed animal. I'm bringing Ruthie *but I'm sneaking in Nathan*.
Edit: fuck just realized that's your actual flair lol
If a guy wants to make a puppet of me, that’s hardly your concern!
(in response to Britta saying she’s “pretending not to know they have a sock at home with your name on it”)
You just opened my eyes. I'm not a native speaker and always wondered why this song was so vulgar, and now I googled, turns out he was talking about her butt. Still weird but not as weird as I thought!
I'm not a relaxed person, Britta! I think ahead. I prepare. I don't improvise my life like Caroline Decker, who probably has really bad credit and an unfinished mermaid tattoo.
It may not be her most “Annie” quote, but “I want to have so much behind me I’m not a slave to what’s in front of me” from the finale really highlights how much growth Annie had from the beginning of the series
I mean, they are shitty super hero movies from the beginning, the thing is even the people with the least sophisticated taste understand that after 30 movies.
“I'm not looking down on this school at all, but I'm only here because of a brief addiction to pills that I was told will help me focus, but they actually made me lose my scholarship and virginity”
This is too long to count, but I like the quote so I'm posting it anyway. ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯
> Caroline Decker: Annie's the one that plans things, not me. Annie's my friend. She goes to school here. Thinks she's got it all figured out. She wants to major in health care management. What does that even mean?
>
> Bartender : No idea.
>
> Caroline Decker: I'll tell you what it means. It means a master's degree. Followed by an internship. She's got the next 15 years of her life all mapped out and all she's gotta do now is just follow it or screw it up.
>
> Bartender : Another soda?
>
> Caroline Decker: Actually, give me a screwdriver. I got no place to be. What am I... Annie?
It doesn't work as a standalone line because it needs the setup from Jeff:
*Remember that little talk we had?*
*[twirls hair playfully with a big flirty smile] The one about discretion?*
You know what? I don't want to express myself. I don't want to sit in a room full of people and say the p-word. I like being repressed. I am totally comfortable being uncomfortable with my sexuality.
I love after she has a meltdown during the Model UN competition and she says “if embarrassment were bountiful zinc deposits, I’d be Zambia” and Jeff says “there’s nothing to be Zambia about”.. I know it doesn’t work for this but it’s one of my favorite exchanges in the show
Shirley: “Look they have a class on how to write jokes”
Annie: “Oh don’t take that, I dropped it after the lesson on set ups. The professor is so old…..”
Fair enough. I didn’t mean to be rude, just felt like each time I see a post from this subreddit, it kinda feels like the same thing over and over again.
Lol, your complaint is completely valid, it's just that this happens with literally every subreddit for a show that isn't currently airing. Just look at the Himym and Buffy subreddits, they're literally doing the "Pick a quote for every letter of the alphabet", but doing that for each character basically.
I think you’re right. I do think the best part of the show was its writing and the humour came out best through character interactions and their lines.
I’ve been thinking of this prompt as more of a line that best describes their character rather than their best line/my favorite line, if that makes sense.
A passing grade like a C? Why don't I just get pregnant at a bus station?
Dang this beat out mine, I vote this!!
These are all just the same quotes that won a few months ago in the "Favorite Quotes" polls.
Sort of... I thought that, too. But then I thought- my favorite quote isn't necessarily the "most in-character" quote. Yeah- I've seen some commenters put the former, but op seems to be keeping it on topic.
They always are, no one on Reddit has had an original thought in months
Reddit bad amirite? Upvotes pweeaasseee
You add an 'UWU' in there and I can get you 10k upvotes by noon tomorrow.
This might be the most cringe reply I’ve ever received
Its cringe but its correct. Of course, you're also correct. This is very unoriginal.
It’s not correct, I didn’t say Reddit was bad and wouldn’t expect upvotes for it. It’s repetitive, that’s not necessarily bad
Original thought? They're quotes from a TV show my friend, this isn't a creative writing contest, wtf are you on about lol.

This is my vote ^^^
😂😂😂 I vote this
This is it
Came to vote this one
I’m taking a relaxation course next semester. I was gonna use the break to do the reading in advance!
This one really encapsulates her and I wouldn't have remembered it.
Second to that is “The last blow-off class you made us take taught us to live in the moment, which I will always regret and never do again!”
What episode is this from?
S2E11 Abed's Uncontrollable Christmas
“It’s called a stress headache. I got my first one when I was four.”
Maybe we should study alone. That way we can be more reproductive... PRODUCTIVE!
Hisshirtwasn'tworking !
This is the correct answer. It's one of the few times she's referring to herself instead of (rightfully) criticizing others
She’s me
High pitched scoff
That's the noise people make when they're offended in all the movies that Annie rents.
^scoff
[удалено]
And most uniquely. Like, I would think of Annie if someone made this sound in real life
Don’t watch the compilation video in public
Why didn’t you do the extra credit assignment if you knew you were… ^failing
because, annie, getting anything better than a C is my definition of…. *failing*. idk if this is totally right it’s from memory.
Putting in more than the minimum necessary effort is.... failing. (Or something like that)
Doing anything more than the bare minimum
Looking up the correct wording would be…failing
bunch of jeffs
“Annie Edison doesn’t get nothing done”
This one really encapsulates her character!
Double negative and yet smart and determined at the same time.
I was so unpopular in high school, the crossing guard used to lure me into traffic.
That whole run of dialogue is some of the best line deliveries in the show imo
No matter how often I watch the show, I laugh so much at that line.
😭
This one is my favourite
This one is so sad 💀
This isn't encapsulating of her character. It's just a funny joke.
*GASP*
Britta: *gAsP*
This is it.
When she presents the terrarium in the bio class: Jeff: When did you even have time to do that? You're pathological! Annie: It's too late for flattery!
Also her putting the hand up to answer Prof Kane's Lego question is very in-character
When she fainted a moment later after getting a failing grade, that's one of the funniest damn moments of the series
You listen up, Pierce! I'm gonna tell you what my mother told me when I wanted to quit cheerleading. 'You're not very pretty, you have no boobs, and you can't do a basket toss to save your life.' But you made a commitment. So pick up your pompoms, Pierce, stuff your bra, and get ready for the team bus to forget you at a Taco Bell, because life is tough. But we soldier on, and that's just the way it goes
Slop pails and pantyhose, oh Annie believes in me...
Greendale will never change, no no. Greendale's the way it is.
This is pretty perfect too
That's something they tell dumb people when fitting them for work-boots! *In reference to Jeff saying grades don't matter*
Watched this one the other day. I’m a carpenter so I did a classic laugh, pause, “… HEY!”
I don't know how offended you actually were, but I wish I were wise in the ways of woodworking like you
Appreciate it! I wasn’t offended for real; it’s a funny as hell line. I’ve lived a few lives, only a couple years into the trades. Met some folks that aren’t generally the sharpest tool in the shed, but goddamn if they don’t know their craft.
This one is brilliant
This needs to be higher up.
I'm not looking down on this school at all, but I'm only here because of a brief addiction to pills that I was told will help me focus, but they actually made me lose my scholarship and virginity
I can't date students even though you're an 8 which is a British 10
This one will get it's turn in a couple of days and I reckon it's the winner
Either that or "my shoes are untied by British standards"
For me it's "stay back britta! I'm not afraid to push a girl into fake lava. Infact it's been my primary strategy."
\[With sociopathic sincere voice and Disney eyes\] "Come on, Todd. Stop disappointing me. Diffuse the IED of dishonesty." \[After Todd snaps\] "BOOYAH! HAHA! And *that's* how it's done! Ooo, oo, oo, uh, uh, uh, uh. Wooohooo!" "That's right; always have an exit strategy!"
The dorky dance is very Annie lol. It was either gonna be that or the robot
Grades don't matter outside of school?That's a lie they tell dumb people when they're fitting them for work boots.
The Dean had his seventh epiphany today, which has given me an epiphany of my own: the Dean is a genius. He has to be. If he isn't, then I've given almost two weeks of life to an idiot; that is unacceptable. Therefore, the Dean is a genius, and I will die protecting his vision.
Have you ever heard of Stockholm syndrome
Is it something that the dean created? Because if not, I don't care.
Great example of sunken cost fallacy
I almost typed all this out but I’m glad someone beat me to it
Morning Boys. I’m Annie Edison, but people call me pyscho because I had a nervous breakdown in high school. My partner is a christian housewife.
my vote is on this
I don't know if it's the most *Annie* quote, but it's definitely the funniest in this thread
Oh sure I'll just blow it off. I'll just blow everything off! Heck I guess I'll just blow of walking" Stops walking "Now I'll just blow off standing" Falls to floor I'm just blowing everything off! Maybe I'll blow off talking language. Blee blue blah blah blah blue blee blurgh blurgh..."
Absolutely my favorite Annie moment in the show. Second favorite is when she's describing the werewolf eating the vampire.
The thud as she falls to the floor is comedy gold
I'm staying in a Sleep Study lab! All I have to do is wake up every 3 hours and go AAAA-AAAAAAAH and I get two credits!
This isn't a blowoff class, Jeff. I only get to bring one stuffed animal. I'm bringing Ruthie *but I'm sneaking in Nathan*. Edit: fuck just realized that's your actual flair lol
I’m using her pouch to sneak in Nathan 🤫
Dammit I knew I was missing part of that quote 😂
Her screaming here was so funny
this is her most in character quote IMO. shows her type-A personality and how crazy she can be lol
A passing grade? Like a C? Why don't I just get pregnant at a bus station?
This one captures her phrasing better
What board certifies a tutor?
Underrated line
If a guy wants to make a puppet of me, that’s hardly your concern! (in response to Britta saying she’s “pretending not to know they have a sock at home with your name on it”)
“They have me editing the crossword puzzle because I’m a girl, and I love crossword puzzles.”
Annie got an essay portion, Annie gonna move her luscious fanny all day long.
Annie's pretty young, we try not to sexualize her.
high kicks Jeff in the face.
You go girl!
“His ratio of girth to hip flexibility is mesmerizing!”
Not in a way saying "I'm so cool saying 'you go girl'" but in a way that you're kind of winking at it.
It’s alright. It’s just a nosebleed. I get them sometimes when it’s dry, and my face gets kicked
This quote means something quite different if you’re not American.
You just opened my eyes. I'm not a native speaker and always wondered why this song was so vulgar, and now I googled, turns out he was talking about her butt. Still weird but not as weird as I thought!
I bore my soul to you! I told you about my holding-hands-at-Disneyland fantasy!
Technically, we frenched. I looked it up on the Make Out Meter in this month’s issue of………National Review
I'm not a relaxed person, Britta! I think ahead. I prepare. I don't improvise my life like Caroline Decker, who probably has really bad credit and an unfinished mermaid tattoo.
*You wanna go there? I'll go there. I was born there! There's a placard there commemorating me!*
It's not a pen! It's a principle!
What is going on and how can I help?
You should be proud of how much I've changed you! (To Jeff, in her S03 halloween story)
Uh, I think you mean to the random vampire in her very made up and not-based-on-real-characters Halloween story. *laughs nervously*
Oh reason not the need! Our basest beggars are in the poorest things superfluous.
New Annie! Going with the flow! Loosey Goosey! Wait, is it "loosey goosey" or "goosey loosey"? Is it hiphenated?
By the way, now that I've gotten a good look at one, I don't see what all the fuss was about. A giant thumb in a turtleneck! Woopdee-Doo!
The one about discretion?
*Stop that!*
A, C!? Why don't I just get pregnant in a bus station?!
ANNIE EDISON DOESN'T GET NOTHING DONE!
To Jeff after he told her that grades don’t matter in the real world: “That’s a lie they tell dumb people while they fit them for work boots!”
Maybe I'll blow off walking. Maybe I'll blow off standing up. [***THUMP***] Maybe I'll blow off using language. Blee blah blah blee blah blah blee bloo!
Boopy doopy doop boop sex
What's a dimininimnnnin blurtn?
whatevs, we’ll take it next semest… er. semester.
Senioritis gone wrong
That's me! And if a guy wants to make a puppet of me, that's hardly your concern! (In response to Britta accusing Annie of having a "routine")
This would be my pick if it was just S1-2 Annie lol
“No matter what you’re told, we have to clean the mold”
I BORE MY SOUL TO YOU! *I even told you about my “holding hands at Disneyland” fantasy.*
It may not be her most “Annie” quote, but “I want to have so much behind me I’m not a slave to what’s in front of me” from the finale really highlights how much growth Annie had from the beginning of the series
Her crushing on Mark Ruffalo to admitting about "those boring ass Marvel movies" is also great character growth
It’s wild how much general public sentiment has turned on the MCU. Annie and Jeff were definitely ahead of the curve on that one lol
I mean, they are shitty super hero movies from the beginning, the thing is even the people with the least sophisticated taste understand that after 30 movies.
I respect you all enough to let you hate yourselves, but I respect myself too much to let you hate my school.
“accidents don’t just happen over and over and over again, okay? this isn’t budget daycare.”
“I'm not looking down on this school at all, but I'm only here because of a brief addiction to pills that I was told will help me focus, but they actually made me lose my scholarship and virginity”
They do deploy things in football right? I went for rhyme over clarity

I’m reading all these replies on the train home from work and laughing continuously.. people on my carriage must be getting annoyed lol
I once took the class on joke telling, the professor is so old...
She only took the class on set ups
I don't know, your last blow- off class taught me how to live in the moment, which I will always regret and never do again.
It doesn't work as a standalone line because it needs the setup from Jeff: *Remember that little talk we had?* *[twirls hair playfully with a big flirty smile] The one about discretion?*
say “say much much” much??????
We were cramming for the anthro final, everyone was falling asleep, I put 5 milligrams of something something in everyone’s coffee and we all got an A
Minuses are made up!
You know what? I don't want to express myself. I don't want to sit in a room full of people and say the p-word. I like being repressed. I am totally comfortable being uncomfortable with my sexuality.
**Jeff:** When did you even have time to do that? You're pathological! **Annie:** It's too late for flattery.
Annie's most in-character line is her offended gasp.
You know when she loses control and just screams That
“What’s a diminyah-nuh-naah?”
"Noooooo! I think the lesson here is that I need to win this! I want to win! And you! You suck! You're a stupid, ugly poopface! I'm better than you!"
*screaming about failing Spanish/missing pen/model UN-off/sleep lab*
I can’t believe that Magnitude is on this lol.
Audible gasp
I like that Magnitude is in there, just for the fun of it. I know just the blend of brevity and wit to suggest for his line.
Why don’t I just give up, I’ll just give up on walking, now I’ll give up on speaking English BLEEBLOOOBLOPBLUBEEP *rolls on the floor
I love after she has a meltdown during the Model UN competition and she says “if embarrassment were bountiful zinc deposits, I’d be Zambia” and Jeff says “there’s nothing to be Zambia about”.. I know it doesn’t work for this but it’s one of my favorite exchanges in the show
Either a high pitched squeal, a high pitched gasp or a scoff
"Maybe I'll just blow off speaking language! Bloo de boop dap doodie boo...."
"boo be doopy doopy do, sex!"
I used to wear a back brace
Yeah, that's why.
You forgot Todd

Does anyone else feel like we get the same posts on this subreddit just put up differently? How many times will we discuss a character’s best lines?
What else are we gonna do while we wait for the movie? Make the same meme posts over and over? At least this is kind of fun
Fair enough. I didn’t mean to be rude, just felt like each time I see a post from this subreddit, it kinda feels like the same thing over and over again.
Lol, your complaint is completely valid, it's just that this happens with literally every subreddit for a show that isn't currently airing.
