"The Wire — 100 Greatest Quotes"

Continuing my refusal to let die the greatest TV series of all time, here is another awesome video: The 100 greatest quotes from the series “The Wire.”

Note: Just about every quote is R-rated, so if you’re at work, pull out your headphones.

  1. That was a great show. I like how they tracked drugs through every level of society without "shitting" on family and institutions.

    Rather than always looking at action or unnecessary graphic visuals they combined a family drama with a police procedural. Excellently.

    I think this clip definitely accents the importance of dialog.

    There was an episode where Bunk and McNulty only said "Fuck" the whole time.

  2. Awwww, they left out my fav quote – one of Marlo's soldiers gets off the cellphone and goes a little something like…

    "Man, he's more maintenance than both my two bitches."
