   • Goodie Goodie Yum Yum (Goodies) from (unsurprisingly) The Goodies

   • Mandy, The West Wing (thankfully she disappeared after the first season)
     
   • Duncan Kane, Veronica Mars (another major character, but just very vanilla)

7. That’s What She Said: 5 Quotes That Still Resonate
   
   • I feel like some part of me will always be waiting for you. Like, if I'm old and blue-haired and I turn the corner in Istanbul and there you are, I won't be surprised. Because... you're with me... you know? - Willow, Buffy
     
   • This guy's walking down a street when he falls in a hole. The walls are so steep, he can't get out. A doctor passes by, and the guy shouts up, "Hey you, can you help me out?" The doctor writes a prescription, throws it down in the hole and moves on. Then a priest comes along, and the guy shouts up "Father, I'm down in this hole, can you help me out?" The priest writes out a prayer, throws it down in the hole and moves on. Then a friend walks by. "Hey Joe, it's me, can you help me out?" And the friend jumps in the hole. Our guy says, "Are you stupid? Now we're both down here." The friend says, "Yeah, but I've been down here before, and I know the way out." - Leo McGarry, The West Wing
     
   • Unrequited love. It's fantastic, 'cause it never has to change, it never has to grow up and it never has to die! - Vince Tyler, Queer as Folk
     
   • When you can't run, you crawl, and when you can't crawl - when you can't do that you find someone to carry you. - Tracy, Firefly
     
   • Wow. Been a long while since I met one who didn't know me. - Buffy, Buffy
