Although our younger audience has probably only heard for Frasier through online comments, the truth is that the show is one of the best sitcoms to ever be shown on TV. Although almost every single line from the show is a great joke, the infamous phrase from Neils Crane played by David Hyde Pierce will make us giggle every time. So, what did her eyes say?

“No Soup For You!”

Loved and hated by generations, Seinfeld is no doubt one of the most iconic TV sitcoms of all time.

Are we? Although most of you probably know Adam Scott from Parks and Recreation, he also played role as Henry Pollard in the less known sitcom Party Down.

“I’ve made a huge mistake”

One of the things that made Arrested Development so popular are its running joke.

A true comedy hero, Jack from 30 Rock has a number of memorable one liners that would make everyone giggle.
