“I hate everything”
Originally said by: Ron Swanson (Parks and Recreation)
Have you already eaten all your food and you have a very long day ahead of you and everything sucks? Ron Swanson has the perfect line for that.
“BINGPOT!”
Originally said by: Jake Peralta (Brooklyn Nine-Nine)
An exclamation of exultation. Combination of “bingo” and “jackpot.” It’s “taking off,” according to Boyle.

For when you want something that’s a little out of your typical price range… but you’ve earned it.
“This is the Bad Place!”

“The wooooooorst”

For when you’re trying to insult someone, but you need to do it in a singsongy voice.
“Don’t be suspicious…”
Originally said by: Mona-Lisa and Jean-Ralphio Saperstein (in series finale outtakes) (Parks and Recreation)
Are you trying not to be suspicious, but also sort of trying to break into song? Then quote Mona-Lisa and Jean-Ralphio.
“Ya basic”
Originally said by: Eleanor Shellstrop (The Good Place)
A totally devastating human insult. Even a demon should be devastated by it.
