Quotes Of The Week: The Boys, Coroner, Big Brother, MTV VMAs And More
The month of August is officially in the rearview mirror, as are another seven days of television — but we've preserved all of the best moments in our Quotes of the Week gallery.
Our latest compilation features more than a dozen scenes from broadcast, cable and streaming series, including a few unscripted zingers that couldn't go unrecognized.
Among the highlights from this week's dialogue: Keke Palmer's shout-out to the good Karens of the world on the MTV Video Music Awards; an empowering moment in the Big Brother Diary Room; a grim portrait of middle-aged romance, courtesy of Love Fraud; and a Freudian — or is it frog-ian? — slip from Wynonna Earp's Jeremy.
Our roundup also includes double doses of The Boys and Lucifer, plus sound bites from Coroner, Ted Lasso, To Tell the Truth and more shows.
Scroll through the list below to see all of our picks for the week, then hit the comments and tell us if we missed any of your faves!
