Carrie Prejean turned the video camera off, put on some clothes, and stepped out of her house. It was a beautiful day outside. The air smelled like apples, and the late morning light hit the world in just such a...

If you are a sassy and sarcastic young man in an American sitcom who represents the sitcom writer's desire that a nerdy Jewish teenager can somehow be the desirable romantic hero in this world, then eventually you will get a...

The Challenge: I had to go on a 3.5 hour bus tour of totally random TV and film locations in New York City. Alone, and wearing a specific ridiculous tshirt. And I had to find someone to take my picture...

Uh. OK. Well, first let's address what this movie did well, like the disappointed parents we are (or at least that I am), recognizing that the negative feedback won't be useful or constructive if it isn't preceded by something positive....

Oh noes! 404 Oops!
Anyway, "I got the shotgun. You got the briefcase. It's all in the game though, right?" had better be on there.
Also "Murder ain't no thing, but this some assassination shit."

"There's no crying in the wire."

From the Slim Charles pops Cheese scene, I would have went with "This sentimental mother fucker just cost us cash money."
Score = 6
Pretty much anything Slim Charles says should be on there. Totally underrated, and steals pretty much every scene he's in. It also needed WAY more Brother Mouzone. "9 at close range will do that."
Score = 4
Agreed "Ain't enough y'all done violated the Sunday morning truce. No, I'm standing here holding a torn-up church crown of a bona fide colored lady. Do you know what a colored lady is? Not your moms, for sure."
Score = 6
Not to mention the fact that Slim has pretty much the best voice ever in the history of voices.
Score = 3
"We on him, String." "Yeah, like a 40 degree day!"
Seriously - the best line.
Score = 6
"I might'a hit 'im."
Man. Sapper is one dumb motherfucker. If his partner's reactions to the dumb shit he says were a quote, it would be on there for sure.
Score = 0
i'm pretty sure the sound snoop makes at 06:19 is the same sound yoshi makes when he gets hit by a red shell in mario kart.
Score = 3
The Sergei quote they had was great (easily one of my favorites), but I'm not sure why they didn't include "Why always Boris?" Season 2 was painfully underrepresented in that compilation. No Ziggy, Horseface, or Vondas? Come on.
Score = 5
I don't know what the hell your avatar is, but I love it. Kevin Garnett screaming at a young Andrew WK (?) who's way too excited about mixing peanuts with Cheetos? Sold.
Score = 1
Oh man, agreed x one million. Season 2 is so maligned. Also, some choice Prezbo quotes were omitted. I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS VIDEO WAS ONLY 10 MINUTES THERE COULD EASILY HAVE BEEN 200 MORE QUOTES I'LL STOP YELLING ABOUT THE WIRE NOW
Score = 2
Where the fuck is Namond, String?? As in, there were no Namond quotes in that whole thing! Prop Joe coulda used a little more time as well.
Score = 1
I agree. Quite frankly, though, there's at least one noteworthy quote per episode, not counting the lines that appear right after the opening credits...oh wait, there were 100 quotes here and only 60 episodes. Make that two noteworthy quotes per episode.
I also love a Marlo quote (that isn't in here) when he's talking to the security guard outside the corner shop:
"You want it to be one way." "What?" "You want it to be one way." "You want it to be one way" etc... "Man, stop that!" ... "But it's the other way."
Score = 0
---Not including "Nice dolphin, nigga" is a most grievous oversight.---
that is probably my favorite youtube comment of all time now.
Score = 2
I get that it is against the law to say anything bad about The Wire, because it is a VERY GOOD SHOW and it is very GRITTY and REALISTIC and so anyone that doesn't like it is a SPECIAL NEEDS ASSHOLE, but, guys, The Wire is so boring. Just, mind-bogglingly dull. I respect that it is the greatest show that I will never watch again and accept the inevitable down votes.
Score = -7
I upvoted the shit outta you holmes
