Quotation Marks – Fringe, Community and Happy Endings

Join the Clique as we take a look back at the week in quotes, television style!

Gentlereaders, I feel like I need to apologize for something. I feel a little shameful about this, but: There are no CBS Sunday Morning quotes for you this week. I’m not sure if it is because last Sunday, CBS didn’t have a morning. Perhaps no one said anything funny. Or, it could even be because fellow Clacker Michael Noble is just a big slacker. If I were a betting man, my money would be on the latter.

Fringe (Review)

“Oh what, because nothing says badass like a flying rat?” – Fauxlivia

Community (Review)

“Winger’s critics suggest he merely improvised hot-button patriotic dogma in a Ferris Buellerian attempt to delay school work. Winger decries the accusation as ‘a slanderous betrayal akin to 9/11.’ Later, after the war, he would refer to the theory as ‘essentially accurate.'” — Documentary Narrator

“Are you allowed to grind your hips at that age like that … ?!?” — Christina commenting on RaeLynn’s performance

“I was actually waiting for Christina to start stuffin’ some ‘ones’ in some of those guys’ pants … there was male strippers on stage for God’s sake. What do you want me to say? There was male strippers on the stage on The Voice!” — Blake
