16 'New Adventures of Old Christine' Quotes That'll Add Some Sass To Any Conversation

Though Julia Louis-Dreyfus found immense success and acclaim with Veep, her shorter-lived CBS sitcom was also a total gem. Some of the best New Adventures of Old Christine quotes are the ones that are universal. Or, to be more specific, the ones that you can flavor any conversation with when you want to sound wittier and more sarcastic than you really are.

The show was packed with hilarious one-liners and unforgettable responses for every day situations that everyone can relate to. Christine, like all of us, was struggling to keep her crazy life together. But, unlike the rest of us, she was always ready with a funny quip to take the normal situation from "blah blah blah" to "ha ha ha." Though her bestie Barb and her brother Matthew had a number of laugh-out-loud moments, Christine usually delivered the hardest punches time and time again, often because she remained blissfully unaware of just how extraordinary she was in this ordinary world.

So, partly as an ode to the goofiness that was Old Christine, here are some of her most memorable quotes that you can easily tweak to use in your own lives and, hopefully, make them even more entertaining.
