Great show.

He hasn't yet, but he didn't start saying it on the animated series, nor in the comic till a bit later on (I'm not even sure if it made an appearance in the first season of the animated series)

As for the question of the thread, mine is from this week's
"I found out that death doesn't just happen to dead people, it can happen to anyone, even horses!"

I missed the one last week, but my friend told me to make sure I caught last night's. Um, I assume the premiere was funnier, because a lot of this episode was pretty lame. Pretty much whenever The Tick wasn't speaking, actually.

I actually thought the opposite. This week's episode was much funnier than the premier.

Spoiler:
There's just something so perverse about The Immortal dying.

I just hope the DC Superman comic writers were watching this episode. Lol.

“Belay that order. I’m starting to like the cut of his gibberish.”

“Nope!” (from last week)

Not a quote, but the fact that Tick was showing his admiration for Carter by squeezing his head makes me laugh every time I think about it. IMHO the premiere was much funnier. It had seriously rapid fire jokes and seemed a little more off the wall. This episode seemed more standard as far as humor went. Still better than most televised entertainment currently.

Was it just me, or did Warburton look especially pale on last nights episode, like he had eaten bad sushi or something? Also, he seemed to do a lot of running out of breath line readings, which kinda grew old on me. I prefer the Tick boldly stating everything with that bombastic importance.

"When evil is a foot, and you don't have any arms, you gotta use your head, and when evil is ahead, and you're behind, you gotta do the leg work, and but when you can't get a leg up, you gotta be hip, you gotta keep your chin up, and kick some ASS!"

"Don't count your weasels before they pop, DINK!"

Those were from the animated series. I've been trying to like the new stuff but it's just a disgrace to the cartoon. I can't wait till they just cancell it.

As you can tell, I don't have any one favorite quote, just a few I'm particularly fond of.

Ohhh I love Tick's final speeches from the cartoon. Here are bits of some.

Destiny's powerful hand has made the bed of my future. And it's up to me to lie in it. I am destined to be a superhero. To right wrongs, and to pound two-fisted justice into the hearts of evil-doers everywhere. You don't fight destiny, no sir, and you don't eat crackers in the bed of your future, or else you get all..... scratchy.

When a tomato grows out of your forehead it gets you thinking. What do we really know about anything? Life is just a big wild crazy tossed salad, but you don't eat it, no no, you live it.

You know, evil comes in many forms. Be it a man eating cow or Joseph Stalin, but you can't let the package hide the pudding. Evil is just plain bad. You don't cotton to it. You gotta smack it in the nose with the rolled up newspaper of goodness. Bad dog! Bad dog!

You know Arthur, when you spend two months riding around on a really big man, you start to learn a few things about yourself. You learn it's a really good thing to stay on earth and live in a place that has no arms or legs of its own. And most importantly, Arthur, you learn how to close your eyes and tell yourself; this just isn't happening to me.

And isn't sanity really just a one-trick pony anyway? I mean all you get is one-trick, rational thinking. But when you're good and crazy, hoo hoo hoo hooooo, the sky is the limit.
