favorite quote from animated Tick series


Two that come to mind

"Don't count your weasels before they've popped dink"
"YULE TIDE!"

"I don't believe in sh*t, until sh*t happens." - Bernie Mac

reply

The Tick vs. Proto-Clown, during the wonderful take-off of every cliched vision-quest storyline in the history of comics:

"Hello, Tick, I'm your mind. Sorry I've not been around much recently, I'm easily distracted by shiny objects."

"This looks like a job for...Legal Tender!"

From the episode where Tick suddenly develops a moustache . . .

Die Fleidermaus - "I have two words for you - chick magnet!"

I also love the song from that episode = That Moustache feeling

reply

I think a lot of the best quotes came from the Tick's little moral at the end, the best of those being:

You know, evil comes in many forms. Be it Joseph Stalin or a man eating cow.

To this day that line can bring a smile to my face. Pure fried gold.

"My mustache is touching my BRAIN!"

reply

It's been a looooong time since I've seen this one, so if I'm not precise, please forgive me.

Arthur - "Oh I don't huh? Well let me see if I can't guess this. In your mind, Speak, the Uber-hund is addressing the United Nations..."
Tick - "Egad!!"

cuts in dream sequence to the interior of the UN as Speak, dressed in a cape, is addressing them in French.

Tick (offscreen) - "Speak. Come here, boy!!"
Speak - "I'm sorry. I have to go. The Tick needs me."

Speak flies off into the sky and lands next to the Tick standing on a cliff watching Arthur being attacked by a six armed monster or something like that.

Speak - "Well, it looks like Arthur's gotten himself into a bit of trouble again."
Tick - "Sure has, Speak."
Speak turns to the Tick - "I Love You."

I almost pissed myself the first time I saw that.

- "Is Wayne Brady gonna have to choke a bitch?"

From the episode with the villain's belt that Arthur wore to make himself bigger:

Tick: "Arthur, that belt is a fashion accessory of evil... and evil is never in fashion!"

reply

"Sanity, you're a madman!"

or

"You're not going crazy, Arthur. You're going sane in a crazy world!"

So profound!!!

Just the final episode had a number of favorites in the catch phrases of the up and coming heroes.

IT'S GREAT TO BE ALIVE!
I... like... squirrels.
Gee, and I had you pegged for a real firecracker.
It's time to deploy The Middle Child!

reply

I can't remember if they did it in the cartoon series, but in the comic when he's in the diner

You're a Tick huh?
Yeah
Ticks suck blood. Do you suck blood?
Uh, yeah, I suck blood all the time...
No you don't..
I GOT A STRAW RIGHT HERE PAL, WANT TO TRY ME? DIDN'T THINK SO.

reply

When the kid turned him into a bug or some kind of creature that only spoke french: "Je suis La Tick"

Deflater mouse had some great lines but I can't remember any of them.

Of course the infamous spoon episode:
Tick: We need something that will strike fear in our enemies heart.
Arthur: How About? Not in the Face! Not in the Face!
Tick: Hmmm. Lacks character chum.

reply

My Favorite is from the Tick vs. Arthur's Bank Account.

The Tick and Arthur go to the city hall...
(paraphrasing)
The Tick: And so, Mayor Blank, to better protect the city, Arthur and I would like to present you with this...The Tick Signal!! In the event of a city emergency, you have but to aim this beam at a conveniently passing cluster of clouds and we will speed to the scene dispensing justice left and right.
Mayor Blank: You know, we have your phone number.
The Tick: Also useful.
Mayor Blank: The thing is, boys, we have a lot of these gizmos and they just don't work. Every time we flash the Die Fliedermaus signal, he disconnects his phone and leaves town for a week.

I forgot which episidode but when the Tick finds a baby

"AAHHH! WILD DINGOES"

I just watched the dinosaur Neil episode and the best quote from that has to be

'He has the moustache of a titan!'

reply

They did it in the first episode of the cartoon. The Tick even makes a menacing sucking sound (well, if there is such a thing) through the straw at the man.
