How can you forget "oh be careful John, lest you suffer vertigo from.the dizzying heights of your moral ground". That was pure gold from Moira 🤣🤣. We need a part 2
My personal favourite. David: "Didn't you once bring home the wrong baby from preschool?" Moira: "Alexis looked Chinese as an infant! How many times must I defend myself?!" No one can deliver a line like Catherine the Great.
Catherine a O’Hara is so unbelievably versatile and talented. She makes a character come alive with her own unique interpretation and genius humor. Nobody could have played Moira better! She elevated this funny show to hysterical levels and her chemistry with Eugene Levy is truly magical.
I would've added this one too: Moira: "I've been calling David, and he's not picking up!" Johnny: "What about Alexis?" Moira: "There's an idea! Anybody have her number?"
Honestly how she speaks and everything she says is what makes the show! "It's probably nothing but I THINK I'VE KILLED A MAAN!" "David, what does burning smell like?!"
My favorite part is when Roland “rescues” Moira from the motel fire and she begins to cry hysterically and asking Roland to rescue her “Bebés” aka wigs😹
Came across Schitts Creek only a few weeks ago on Netflix (never heard of it) and I binged the whole 6 seasons in a week. The character of Moira is 1 of the best in tv history. So funny..the way she speaks is comedy genius and I had to keep rewinding to listen to it again. Daniel Levy’s writing is excellent. 1 of those comedies you can watch over & over again and not get bored of it.
YES!!! That and the time he got stoned with Stevie and then went to the empty store while he was way too high and called Patrick. Before he called him he was standing there moving the chair around, unable to think straight. It killed me because I've been there and know that feeling well! Hahahahahaha!
As a word lover, I had to look up every wonderful word she said that I didn't know. Lots of pausing the show- it was one of my favorite things- her vocabulary!!!
How can you forget "oh be careful John, lest you suffer vertigo from.the dizzying heights of your moral ground". That was pure gold from Moira 🤣🤣. We need a part 2
For me it has to be when she forces people to attend twylas murder mystery party and she herself doesn’t attend and twyla made her the murderer “then they’ll never catch me”
My favorite was an almost throwaway line from the wine tasting, when she said one particular wine tasted like amoxicillin. Most likely the writer came up with that, but it's so specific and yet so utterly random that it makes me smile every time I think of it.
The fact that “fold in the cheese” is not even mentioned or alluded to in any way, is actually a sin. Its literally the most iconic most well-known line of the entire show…
Personally, this is my favorite quote of hers: “Alexis looked Chinese as an infant; how many times must I defend myself?” I ROTFLMAO every.single.time.
@@JaneSmith0709 She was doing London cockney. She was pretending to be a working-class Londoner kidnapped by fiendish Russian mafiosos to be sold into "white slavery." Like her extensive vocabulary, her ideas of crime were also very old-fashioned. LOL
I can't seem to find this anywhere in the comments "careful, you could be hit by a Mack truck or bopped on the head by a small piece of space debris" so specific 😂
Moira is by far the best comic charachter i have liked in last decade. Best combination of charachter+actor+writing+timing. She deserves a category and an award of her own.
Currently rewatching the series, and she honestly doesn't go full on accent until around Season 3. I was surprised when I started it over...was like, "Wait...where did her accent go?" :) It takes a while.
Tap sweet top10.....I agree that show is in my top 5 favorite shows. I catch myself talking like David or alexis sometimes lol. I could watch it several times over n over....but that's just me and my weirdness
In our home, we quote her a lot, especially this one. “Turtles do not pets make. You may as well tie a leash around a raw chicken cutlet.” The way she says “cutlet” gets me rolling every dang time😂🤣
Mine is absolutely the scene where Jonny is saying he outbid "Branson" at the charity auction to win Moira the real fur coat. Moira goes on to say its very nice but she did "get fed up of having blood and hot coffee thrown over me".
This masterpiece show! Writing, acting, every part/dept. created this epic family, so fun to get to know and love. Love, love, love every second, brilliant. On the Moira note: great scene lead : what the hell with Moira have on, and OMG does she wear it, hair, shoes, fashion and tude! 110% brilliance from everyone!
Series remind me of the Christopher Guest films, they never get old. Every time I watch I pick up on even more subtle little lines and gags and references to appreciate. Ages like a fine fruit wine.
Brilliant, the pitch of her voice in the Dead Guy in Room 4 episode....The last time I felt this emotionally encumbered, I was playing Lady Macbeth on a Crystal Skies cruise ship during Shakespeare at Sea Week.
MOIRA: Wh-what's going on in here? JOHNNY: Nothing, honey...I'm just hugging our kids. (*Moira looks at Alexis and David, then back at Johnny with an incredulous look*) MOIRA: Why?
Check out our featured song: "9 Lives" by Morrison! th-cam.com/video/MebWCajFUb8/w-d-xo.html
I'm so confused... is Stevie in that band? Why does it come up?
Please do top 10 drake and josh villians
Because this “song” is so inappropriate and self serving, I will never watch this crap ass TH-cam channel again. Peddle your song in the alley way.
Pure class. Best character ever.
How can you forget "oh be careful John, lest you suffer vertigo from.the dizzying heights of your moral ground". That was pure gold from Moira 🤣🤣. We need a part 2
yessss omg
OMG What is this line😂😀
Agreed!
They could do like 4 of these
Yes, my favorite line.
Alexis : what's your favourite season
Moira : AWARDS
It was so unexpected, I kept thinking about it for minutes after that scene.
Every word she utters is iconic! And that accent 🤣
Yessss. You get it. It's so hilarious. I love all of their chemistry together!
Gertrude palicte right 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yes!!!!! Nailed it!!!!!
What’s that accent? Is it made up by her?
Hear hear!
My personal favourite. David: "Didn't you once bring home the wrong baby from preschool?" Moira: "Alexis looked Chinese as an infant! How many times must I defend myself?!" No one can deliver a line like Catherine the Great.
Catherine a O’Hara is so unbelievably versatile and talented. She makes a character come alive with her own unique interpretation and genius humor. Nobody could have played Moira better! She elevated this funny show to hysterical levels and her chemistry with Eugene Levy is truly magical.
Yep!! Levy made a great call on that 1!!🤣🤣
I would've added this one too:
Moira: "I've been calling David, and he's not picking up!"
Johnny: "What about Alexis?"
Moira: "There's an idea! Anybody have her number?"
Yesss that made me laugh so much
😂😂😂😂 Loved that scene!
The best😂😂
Honestly how she speaks and everything she says is what makes the show! "It's probably nothing but I THINK I'VE KILLED A MAAN!" "David, what does burning smell like?!"
My favorite part is when Roland “rescues” Moira from the motel fire and she begins to cry hysterically and asking Roland to rescue her “Bebés” aka wigs😹
That’s my favourite part of the show😂😂😂 i was crying with laughter
😂😂😂😂😂
Roland was quite lovely in that scene, concerned in case David locked her in the closet.
“ If she takes on smoke, she'll never recover! “
CINDY! GET CINDY! 😂
“Let’s not count our poultry before it’s incubated” is one of my favourites, after Bebe of course 😂
I was looking for this one!! Definitely a fave. I loved her switching regular sayings in her own little way.
Oh my gosh, me too! When she said that, I literally had to pause it to catch my breath. I quote it all the time!
Same my absolute favorite. I laughed so hard when she said that.
"Who put this picture of a ghost on my desk?" (looking at a picture of a sonogram).
🤣🤣🤣
And the way she pronounces "desk". "It was on my DEHHHHSSSK".
LOL!

Same as you! Just binged this week and I’m obsessed with Moira
David's increasingly desperate "OH MY GOD"s as each family member shows up to meet Jake kills me
YES!!! That and the time he got stoned with Stevie and then went to the empty store while he was way too high and called Patrick. Before he called him he was standing there moving the chair around, unable to think straight. It killed me because I've been there and know that feeling well! Hahahahahaha!
As a word lover, I had to look up every wonderful word she said that I didn't know. Lots of pausing the show- it was one of my favorite things- her vocabulary!!!
Same!!!
“John, how was I to know you were in peril? You keep everything inside, like a bashful clam!”
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
What about “Fold in the cheese”
"David... what does BURNING smell like?"
You just FOLD it in!
Stephanie Cheche broken cheese!!
"David, I cannot show you everything."
okay, well can you show me ONE thing?!
why does no one ever mention my favourite? 'Alexis, turtles are riddled with diseases. You might as well put a leash on a raw chicken cutlet!'.
turtles don't pet makes
How can you forget "oh be careful John, lest you suffer vertigo from.the dizzying heights of your moral ground". That was pure gold from Moira 🤣🤣. We need a part 2
The way she pronounced “cuT-leT”!
THAT had my laughing my ass off. Her delivery on that was great!!!!!
For me it has to be when she forces people to attend twylas murder mystery party and she herself doesn’t attend and twyla made her the murderer “then they’ll never catch me”
I thought that was such a cool little twist in that episode!!!!!!! I loved it!!!!!!!!!!!!
yessssss 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
My favorite was an almost throwaway line from the wine tasting, when she said one particular wine tasted like amoxicillin. Most likely the writer came up with that, but it's so specific and yet so utterly random that it makes me smile every time I think of it.
There really was no more accurate description of the way David was acting than "disgruntled pelican" 😂😂😂😂
"I know very well how to handle a room full of fragile egos. I once hosted the non-televised portion of the People's Choice Awards." So clever 🤣🤣🤣
that was def one of my favorites too 🤣🤣🤣
The fact that “fold in the cheese” is not even mentioned or alluded to in any way, is actually a sin. Its literally the most iconic most well-known line of the entire show…
My favorite is “ I speak their language, CAW, CAW!”
"Bebe" at only #9 is highway robbery!
Omg I know! My favorite Moira quote!
**grabbing purse and walking out the door**
"John, I hate to leave you like this!!"
Personally, this is my favorite quote of hers: “Alexis looked Chinese as an infant; how many times must I defend myself?” I ROTFLMAO every.single.time.
Freaking comedy goddess, been worshipping her all my life 🤗it’s such joy to see every generation keep discovering the greatness
"I have endured a cornucopia of trauma the last few years." Died, and going to use this when I describe 2020.
When she calls David a "disgruntled pelican". The way he looks at her is priceless. He totally looks like that 🤣
Remember when purchasing a new car and she starts imitating british accent...that scene was iconic and Johnny's reaction....I was in tears 😂😂
I thought it sounded more like an Irish brogue. Whatever it was it was pure genius and she did it so well!
@@JaneSmith0709 She was doing London cockney. She was pretending to be a working-class Londoner kidnapped by fiendish Russian mafiosos to be sold into "white slavery." Like her extensive vocabulary, her ideas of crime were also very old-fashioned. LOL
@@JaneSmith0709 Johnnie: As you can see we can't even afford her meds.
The best character created for television in recent years
"A TURTLE DOES NOT A PET MAKE, ALEXIS!"
I started binge watching this show while on maternity leave and now I call my newborn bebe now 🤣
I love this!! 😂💗
that's amazing. is it still going?
For a while, whenever I heard someone mention the word "baby" in conversation, my mind would go, "hehehehe bébé ehehehe".
Catherine O’Hara can just say “enchilada” and make me laugh
Which was totally on purpose that they asked her to say it that way. Absolutely genius.
Disappointed. Did not include, "a motley crew of dewy-faced salamander people". My all-time favorite Moira quote.
The way Moira pronounces “baby” is the French way. She thinks it’s fashion...
Thank you! I came here to say this.
🤣🤣Stop!!
I love this show so much. It’s so quotable. I want a face mask with “Ew, COVID!” Stitched in. 🤣 Alexis would be proud.
Will E That’s brilliant. Make it happen Will E.
😂😂😂
els9874 you can find it on Etsy!
i just binge watched the entire series the last two weeks. moira by far was my favorite character. i love how moira over pronounciation of words.
John, you keep everything inside like a bashful clam!
Her line delivery is FANTASTIC! I love that you showed the BEBE scenes!
“The most projected nominee never to be nominated.” Gold!
YES
Schitt's Creek is one of the best TV shows in a while and Moria is one of the most hysterical moms in TV history!
I can't seem to find this anywhere in the comments "careful, you could be hit by a Mack truck or bopped on the head by a small piece of space debris" so specific 😂
Loved them. Now you have to do one for each of Johnny, David, and especially Alexis.
William Hoffman
I still laugh every time I see Alexia so her tryout and I’ve watched it several times! Never gets old.
Top Ten "Eww, David!"
twyla has a couple good lines too lmao
ALEXIS FIRST!
Yes please!! Alexis!!
My FAVORITE is the one where she’s talking about the after school program and she’s like “homeless toddlers!? TUGGING AT OUR PANTLEGS?”
Catherine O'Hara is a legend!!
It's difficult to discern the person from the character Moira, and that says it all!
Moira is by far the best comic charachter i have liked in last decade. Best combination of charachter+actor+writing+timing. She deserves a category and an award of her own.
did anyone else notice the first episode is the only time she ever says "baby" normally???
She did?!
@@ambergerhelper7852 yes!!!! go rewatch the first episode, it's such a trip!
I noticed it in this countdown! In #10 at the diner
Also in the commercial I believe?
Currently rewatching the series, and she honestly doesn't go full on accent until around Season 3. I was surprised when I started it over...was like, "Wait...where did her accent go?" :) It takes a while.
This list is woefully incomplete without the gem that is "fold in the cheese." And you know it.
Agreed 10000%
I was absolutely surprised to find out she doesn't speak like this in real life, she does it so effortlessly ♥️
the speech she gives in the last episode at the wedding i don’t think i’ll ever be able to watch it without crying fantastic!!!
I believe in the first show when John is trying to get David to help him rehang the doors: “Someone pick up a hammer and nail this coffin shut!”
That's my favorite
She started off on a high and kept that going for 6 seasons...!
The ENTIRE jazzagals audition!!!
THATS ONE OF MY FAVORITE SCENES
"Isn't it scheduled to be dormant by now?!" 🤣❤️
Yes! This was one of my favourites and it's a tragedy they left this one out.
I just thought of "Top 10 times Jocelyn Schitt was Passive-Agressive"
"This wine is AW-FUL!!! Get me another glass."
The most underrated show and actress!
The "Barborous jape" line is one of the greatest lines ever written for TV.
I lose it every time I hear her saying 'Look at my bébé girl!!' HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
My favorite Moira line is when Alexis asks Moira if she can talk, and she says “always, just not now”
“Ah! The same sentiment expressed by the passengers as they stepped aboard the Ti-TAHN-ick!”
When Moira sings Island in the Stream in an unidentifiable language...and when she was practicing for the Patty Hearst story “ 6 7 8 9...” classics!
It was Spanish, wasn't it? Lol!
@@JaneSmith0709 After doing some research, she was apparently singing it in Italian. I had no idea! lol
@@brittw9781 Ahhh! Very similar to Spanish. Lol. That character is a riot!
Machine gun bèbè.
This show is SO FUNNY!!! I watch it all the time! "EW David!"
Tap sweet top10.....I agree that show is in my top 5 favorite shows. I catch myself talking like David or alexis sometimes lol. I could watch it several times over n over....but that's just me and my weirdness
Pure and simple....she is a National Treasure!
Do a top ten Alexis story references. She had me rolling on the ground from her crazy stories.
I need to know more about the pirates.
In our home, we quote her a lot, especially this one. “Turtles do not pets make. You may as well tie a leash around a raw chicken cutlet.” The way she says “cutlet” gets me rolling every dang time😂🤣
It's not a quote but the two times when she literally lived in the closet
Hahahahahaha! Carry me, my legs are in slumber!
“I’m eating egg whites and hoping the roof will cave in...”
Perfection!! Hahaa
She got on my nerves the first season.
Then something happened and all of the sudden in season 2 she became an annoying best friend.
Moira is hilarious I love how she say “baby”. Johnny is hilarious too
I find myself using Moira rose’s sayings daily. She is the gift that keeps on giving
My fav is always “ha ha ha HA ha. These are dark times John. Not THAT dark”
Without opening or moving her mouth 😂
when she calls David a dirty peeping Tom!! hilarious!!
Everything she said was the SCHITT! I loved that show ❤️
How about the iconic slaps!!! “Sign the fuckin contract” 😭😭
Alexis: And because you gobbled down a hundred thousand anti-depressants this morning.
Moira: I was hungry. But I could still eat.
Mine is absolutely the scene where Jonny is saying he outbid "Branson" at the charity auction to win Moira the real fur coat. Moira goes on to say its very nice but she did "get fed up of having blood and hot coffee thrown over me".

She’s amazing I’m still studying words because of her
Lol YES! She amped up my vocabulary a bit
I love her, she’s one of my favorites on the show!!!
LET THE NUNS TAKE THE LITTLE STRANGER

I have only one thing to say, FOLD IN THE CHEESE!!!
Love Moira! The best woman on tv!!
“Fold the cheese” will always be my favorite
Seriously, best writing ever!
The breakdown/freakout scenes of intense screaming were life giving! 🤣👌
One of the best characters ever.
I loved it when Moira walks in the hotel room but no one is around so she yells, "FAAMLEE, I HAVE NEWS!
Loved this show!! Watched it for the 2nd time now.
Wonderful show!. Absolutely hilarious!!!!!!!!.
I love this show so much..
I have a 7 month old son, I'm literally gonna start calling him bebeh from now on
"a note coming from my son who I carried for almost a full seven months" that one was pure gold
One of the best was her laughing without moving her mouth
MOIRA: Wh-what's going on in here?
JOHNNY: Nothing, honey...I'm just hugging our kids.
(*Moira looks at Alexis and David, then back at Johnny with an incredulous look*)
MOIRA: Why?
every single word she drops is iconic!!!
You forgot the one where she's in the restaurant ordering a Sankachino! Too funny!
