Ready for one last blast from the past before we turn ourselves over to 2012? In December, we invited you to name your favorite television quotes from 2011, and you willingly obliged.

By the time we were finished counting up your votes, one thing was abundantly clear: You guys LOVE Community.

" Remember when I said u don't send a puppy to clean its own mess: I am not a puppy" Suits
Yay! I approve of these! More Doctor Who fans need to watch Community though... As a huge fan of Doctor Who I recommend it. Also it needs more people to watch it... And I don't want it cancelled....
"Bazinga"! :D
Sherlock Holmes: I'm not a psychopath, Anderson, I'm a high-functioning sociopath, do your research. from Sherlock
"You're more like a fun vampire. You don't suck blood; you just suck."
My top 10 would all be from Community with one or two quotes from Parks, you can't beat the hilarity that is Community!
I love to suck c**k yummy, yummy, yummy
Homeland
I forgot all about that one. That was so funny!
Castle, supernatural and TVD! YAY
love the episode for dr who and community but fave lines would be
Dr Who: rory, put hitler in the cupboard
Troy: clearly you dont understand anything about defeating trolls
i'm a little surprised that nothing from smallville's series finale made it in here
"I wonder, Klaus, for someone who has always been one step ahead for a thousand years. Were you prepared for this?"
- Stefan Salvatore
I love the way Stefan said it. definitely deserves to be on this list.
"Treat Yo'self!" definitely.
bazinga has been said like every episode every series on BBT genius, whats another one of your brilliant 2011 quotes: homer simpsons saying D'oh?????????? SMFH in hysterics, shocking XD
Well, if people had wanted certain quotes on here, or think the order should be switched, maybe that will encourage them to vote next time.
mr. finch: i said i'd tell you the truth, i didn't say you'd like it.
person of interest is awesome. specifically mr. reese! <3
loved that one! person of interest is awesome!
There is this quote from the third season of Misfits that I just love:
- Where have you been?
- Just been fighting fucking Nazis and kicking the shit out of Hitler.
I just finished watching season 3, and I was totally hoping that would be on the list. I laughed so hard when she said that.
I personally would've gone with "Oi Hitler, why you gotta be such a prick?", but that ones great as well
What the FOOK is brunch?!
I LOVE Kelly, she always has the best lines!
That was fucking brilliant - I forgot all about it!
Walter Bishop on Fringe saying that Peter fell into Fauxlivia's Vagenda should have definitely been in there.
I've kinda lost touch with D. Who but I think I may watch the entire series from the start for that killer line alone.
Number 3... :) :) :) Bazinga is number 1 in my book though. :)
I think the omission of "Everybody pants now" from Parks and Rec is criminal. So much better than "Treat Yo'self." Not that I don't love "Treat Yo'self," just not as much.
pants, pants pants pants pants!
i would say it should've been "i wonder what happened in those other timelines."
I love Treat Yo' Self and the Community quote but my two favorite Community quotes are
Troy: "You ruined a Britta party...that's like letting poop spoil."
And Annie: "Don't make jokes, you're bad at it."
The Community quote had me laughing and now I want to watch that episode again. The Breaking Bad quote is awesome. I love Big Bang's but "Bazinga"? that quote has been around for awhile so I wouldn't call it the best of 2011. Plus there are better quotes on the show. Oh and Parks and Rec "Treat Yo Self" will never get old.
"You killed my faerie godmother!"- Sookie Stackhouse
"Something's happening!"- Micheal Scott
"When you play the Game of Thrones, you win or you die" Cersei Lannister
"This is calm...and it's Dr." Badass Spencer Reid is the best kinda Spencer Reid. That was my favorite quote of his in ages!
I'm not familiar with some of these but I cannot leave w/o showing some love to Suits. The show had more awesome quotes in one season then most shows in many! Examples
Donna: I know you meant that as a compliment, but I don't appreciate limits being placed on my beauty.
Jessica [to Louis]: This is my firm, and when you're running the firm of Litt, Nothing and Nobody, you can make the call, until then, you can just get back to work.
Harvey: Sometimes good guys gotta do bad things to make the bad guys pay.
Harvey: I'm against having emotions, not using them.
Bazinga? Are you kidding me? How is that a 2011 quote?
Forgive my animosity towards TBBT, but it's in Community's timeslot.
Considering they are on different networks that is kind of a moot point.
Or, is Community in TBBT's timeslot??? Hmmmm....
You know what, now I wish it still was. *crickets*
Voting is over, and I like most of these but one of my favorites that didn't make it:
Pam - "I will personally eat, fuck and kill all three of you."
There were other great Pam lines, but that was my favorite.
I wish I could give you more thumbs up!
Supernatural was a treasure trove of quotes this season!
Dean: Remember when Crowley kept going on about hating "Dick?" I thought he was just being general.
Dean: We're on our third "the world is screwed" issue in what three years?
Dean: You know how I'm gonna deal? I'm gonna stuff my pie hole. I'm gonna drink. And I'm gonna watch some Asian cartoon porn and act like the world's about to explode because it is.
A few others I liked -
John Reese: Maybe it's up to me to do what the good people can't. Or maybe there are no good people. Maybe there are only good decisions.
Raylan Givens : Glen, I don't want you to speak anymore, cause once you start lying to me there's gonna be a river between us with no bridge to cross.moreless
That John Reese quote was awesome. His delivery makes all his lines kind of awesome though.
Breaking Bad: "I won."- Walter White
When I am in a shopping conundrum I always like to think what would Tom and Donna say?
Treat yo'self!
"its in my spiderman fanny pack" Dr Bishop - FRINGE
Let's not forget
Daryl Dixon - "People in hell want Slurpees"
