This article explores the most memorable and quotable fantasy TV shows, citing iconic lines and their impact on fandom. It features shows like Percy Jackson and the Olympians, The Witcher, That's So Raven, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and Supernatural.
If there's one thing that fans can't get enough of, it's quotable TV shows. Being able to reference one's favorite moment from a show is part of the appeal, and is one of the best parts of watching TV in the first place.
A lot of shows out there, across a multitude of genres, have produced an infinite amount of memes and iconic lines, which allows fans to reference them on the fly in a huge range of contexts. Fantasy shows, of course, can also be quotable, especially since the very definition of the genre allows writers to be playful and to only be limited by their imaginations. These are the most quotable fantasy TV shows, series that have produced lines so memorable that they can be referenced by anyone, to the point that even non-viewers of the show will instantly know what the other person is talking about. 10 'Percy Jackson and the Olympians' Most iconic quote: "She met a pine cone's fate." Percy Jackson and the Olympians has been a huge success for fans of the original novels by Rick Riordan, as the movie adaptations ten years prior felt foreign and alien compared to the charming source material. Luckily, with Riordan having a heavier hand in the show's production, the spirit of the book is very much alive, and it's reflected in the characters' personalities throughout the show. Namely, the titular Percy retains his sarcasm from the books, and in just a few short episodes, drops a series of comedic wisecracks that aren't just clever, but biting, as well. Even though Percy is a self-described"troubled kid," he learns a lot in his journey through the world of Greek mythology, and is capable of providing tidbits of wisdom along with his sassy clapbacks. While the show isn't the most quotable since it's still pretty new, there's guaranteed to be more great quotes as the series goes on.

The Witcher is based on the novel series by Andrzej Sapkowski, following a monster hunter named Geralt , who travels across a high fantasy world slaying all sorts of terrifying creatures for paying clients. Geralt himself is pretty stoic and abrasive, and always says exactly what he feels, resulting in a lot of comical, yet harsh insults, even when he's clearly not trying to be funny. Along with Geralt, there are all sorts of characters traveling with him who help to deliver comic relief or to help him find love. Whether it be through song or through casual conversation, The Witcher has produced quite a few memorable one-liners and memes since it began in 2019. Though it may have taken a sharp dive in recent years, many fans still appreciate the brilliant writing of the earlier seasons, resonating with its gallows humor and iconic quotes.

That's So Raven stars Raven-Symoné as the titular Raven Baxter, a teenage girl who has the supernatural ability to view glimpses of the future, which almost always cause problems for her as she tries to understand the meaning of these visions, and sometimes, how to avoid them. However, the series is a sitcom at heart, albeit one with a fantastical twist. Like many Disney original teen sitcoms, the show is loaded with comedic quotes and catchphrases. That's So Raven also tackled a lot of tough topics in its run, allowing kids to better understand some really important social issues, taking them all on with comedic value and caution. As a result, not only are many of these quotes funny, but they can also be pretty moving at times, too. Although by far, the characters' catchphrases are the absolute best, from Raven's"Ya nasty!" to her equally iconic"Oh, snap!"

Buffy the Vampire Slayer is a teen fantasy-horror series about the eponymous Buffy , an ordinary young girl who comes from a long line of vampire hunters, and finds herself following in her family's footsteps to rid the world of the shadowy forces of evil who prey on the innocents. Typically, the series is more of an action or a drama show, but that doesn't mean it can't be funny now and again. Sure, its funny moments do produce some great quotes, but many of the best quotes in this show are the ones that are more meaningful, speaking to themes of love, life, and adolescence that will resonate with many. It's part of the reason why Buffy was such a hit with audiences—not just for its versatility as a program, able to seamlessly switch between ridiculousness and seriousness, but also for its relatability, even if it does take place in a world of fantasy.

If there's one thing that Adventure Time specializes in, it's producing quotes that are equal parts profound and hilarious. Taking place in the magical land of Ooo, a world filled with loads of mysterious and intriguing beings and places, the show stars Finn and his canine companion Jake as they embark on numerous journeys, often to save princesses or find magical artifacts. Perhaps the show was such a hit because of how well the kids' show resonated with adults, offering slice-of-life advice that applies to everyone. Many of these quotes relate to the experience of growing up, to learning how to fail so that one can learn from their mistakes, and learning how to be patient with oneself, because, as Jake says in the show,"If you get everything you want the minute you want it then what’s the point of living?" Adventure Time is a show that emphasizes that life can be exciting, which makes the dark times totally worth it, and its quirky humor woven into its dialogue makes for some surprisingly deep lines that really strike a chord.

Dragon Ball Z is an early anime series from the 90s, featuring a colorful, slightly goofy world where Goku, a Saiyan warrior, must stop the nefarious schemes of numerous villains trying to take over the world. As with many anime series, the dialogue is sometimes over-the-top, with otherwise ordinary lines delivered with gusto and via powerful yelling, ramping up the drama, yet sometimes being unintentionally funny. Perhaps the most famous of these quotes is the internet-famous"It's over 9000!" which many have heard of and continually reference, even if they've never seen the show thanks to a viral video of the clip taken out of context. Even with that moment aside, there are plenty of quotable, if underrated moments in other episodes too, which are just as memorable as its most famous line.

Avatar: The Last Airbender is a Nickelodeon animated fantasy TV show, and is generally geared towards kids. As a result, the show often has to be comedic, as well as provide some valuable life lessons to its young audience. Interestingly enough, this is not the typical Nicktoon, as there is an actual, coherent narrative with a beginning and an ending rather than self-contained stories within each episode, meaning it can't be picked up and dropped all willy-nilly. Many of the memorable characters in the show have their iconic catchphrases, one of the best being the cabbage merchant who repeatedly has his cart and his veggies destroyed, resulting in him crying out"My cabbages!" in despair. Avatar has a lot of bizarre humor, but that's part of the charm, which is made exponentially better by the funny and heartfelt quotes that can be found throughout its episodes.

The Fairly OddParents is another Nickelodeon show, but this one is pretty much a farm for memes, almost to the level of SpongeBob SquarePants. The show, as many already know, is about Timmy Turner , a ten-year-old boy living with two dim-witted parents and an evil babysitter who is given two fairies named Cosmo and Wanda to grant his every wish and enhance his childhood. There are so many quotable moments in this show, from Mr. Turner's classic feud with his neighbor Dinkleberg to Timmy's timeless"No amount of therapy will ever make this moment okay," The Fairly OddParents has no shortage of hilarious one-liners and jokes which can be used in a variety of contexts, and that are always sure to generate a few laughs.

Supernatural is a low fantasy show about two paranormal investigators known as the Winchester brothers, who travel across the United States searching for any paranormal threats including, but not limited to, ghosts, werewolves, and vampires. The two brothers get on pretty well for the most part, but there is also a lot of infighting and banter between the two, as there is in most siblings. Since the show had 15 seasons to hang around before coming to a close, there have been more than enough episodes to produce some great insults and raunchy one-liners, even if the show isn't totally a comedy at heart. It's been an incredibly varied show that has seen some incredibly varied dialogue, often as reactions to situations or problems. It has produced an endless amount of memorable, easy-to-reference moments and internet memes, which has helped it to stay fresh even after five years of being off the air.

There is no middle ground." Game of Thrones is actually a very serious show, but that doesn't mean it doesn't know when to cut loose and have a little fun every now and again. There's an enormous amount of characters in this series, each with their own distinct personalities, so there's no shortage of characters who are generally funnier or wittier than the others. Much of the humor, when it calls for it, is crude and crass, and usually deals with insults, as befits the Medieval European undertones. A lot of character interactions are about royal politics, with many feudal families fighting for control of the realm. With tensions running high, many of the families' leaders often insult each other, in a way that is subtle, yet savage, and in a quiet, reserved manner so as to maintain an aura of pleasantry. When it's not busy being funny, it's being profound, delivering bone-chilling messages about politics and the struggle for power through cold calculations and distant niceties. Almost every single episode has a memorable quote of some sort, which is what makes Game of Thrones the most quotable fantasy show ever made.
