Best Lines of the Week (June 11-17): ‘I Don’t Breathe Out My Belly Button!’
This week our screens were graced with lines that were funny, biting, and sometimes even a little ridiculous! The iCarly revival premiered on Paramount+ and showed us a more mature take on our favorite webcasting teens, Tuca & Bertie highlighted an apt cultural difference across the pond, and Love, Victor gave us some witty commentary on Pride Month.
On the other hand, Loki continued to make light of our favorite trickster’s deceitful nature, while Dave gave us an absurd example of what it means to be flexible.
