Bystander #2: “You’re going to have to be more specific.”

30 Rock

Liz Lemon: “What a week, huh?”

Jack Donaghy: “Lemon, it’s Wednesday. No, wait — Tuesday. You know what? I have no idea what day it is.”

Schitt’s Creek

David Rose: “I’m trying very hard not to connect with people right now. Especially people without masks.”

The Price Is Right

Announcer: “COME ON DOWN! Just please stay six feet away from me.”

Seinfeld

Jerry Seinfeld: “You know the message you’re sending out to the world with these sweatpants? You’re telling the world, ‘I give up. I can’t compete in normal society. I’m miserable, so I might as well be comfortable.’”

George Constanza: “It’s a PANDEMIC, Jerry! Everybody’s wearing sweatpants!”

Michonne Hawthorne: “Anger makes you stupid, stupid gets you killed. So put on a damn mask.”

El: “Friends don’t lie. Especially when they break the rules of the pandemic pod.”
