Pulling quotes from our favorite TV shows is one of my favorite things to do (true story), but why limit our quotes to just the shows, when celebrities — and some of CliqueClack’s greatest — say some of the darnedest things?  So, from time to time, we figured we’d share some of those funny lines.

As much as I like the show, I’m disappointed in Kripke’s originality. The quote from Supernatural is essentially a scene from Galaxy Quest:

Brandon Wheegan: I just wanted to tell you that I thought a lot about what you said.
Jason Nesmith: It’s okay, now listen–
Brandon Wheegan: But I want you to know that I’m not a complete brain case, okay? I understand completely that it’s just a TV show. I know there’s no beryllium sphere…
Jason Nesmith: Hold it.
Brandon Wheegan: …no digital conveyor, no ship…
Jason Nesmith: Stop for a second, stop. It’s all real.
Brandon Wheegan: Oh my God, I knew it. I knew it! I knew it!
