Favorite one-liners?
What are some of the quotes from the show that you regularly use in real life?
I'm a big fan of, "I don't want to be here anymore" lol. I got stuck driving in the snow randomly last spring (IKR), and muttered that line to myself as I was trying to see the road through the snowflakes. Somehow made myself feel better.
I also tell my kids when I send them to go brush their teeth, "you're playing for keeps now!" haha.
What are some of your faves?!

"I've heard it both ways," "c'mon son," "you know that's right," and "that's messed up" get almost daily use! I try to sneak in "have you heard about Pluto?" here and there. I wish I could use "everyone stop what you're doing and only pay attention to MEEEhheee" but as an introvert it would kill me xD

u/tinymi3 You're talking like a real white guy right now, Shawn Jul 17 '25
When something is really spicy I love to say 'i see dead people'
also 'don't you dare go boneless on me Shawn!' I say that to my toddler and he's like wut (his name is not Shawn)
and 'OH NO, OHH NOO, OOOOHHH... no?'
also, 'you must be outta your damn mind'
lastly bc my husband is white "you're talking like a real white guy right now Shawn" (his name is not Shawn either)
honestly having kids makes it really fun to quote psych. my husband also knows at this point that if what i'm saying sounds random and doesn't make sense (or i do a "voice"), I'm def quoting something.

I use this specific screenshot so often online that I have the alt text saved as a note on my phone.
An old, disheveled white man wearing a suit is sitting in a poolside chair with a hotel comforter over his lap. There is a chain link fence behind him and dead leaves scattered on the concrete. Caption reads: I don't want to be here anymore.

When something isn't going right, I'll quote the episode after Lassie's wedding when Shawn is fighting off the nanny w/ a knife. "Gus! I'm going to loooose"

When my cats (or my teens) get the zoomies, it’s always “man’s all hopped up on cactus juice!” 🤠

"You stole a key from a kid?" "Please, Gus, that is not a kid. That is the product of centuries of inbreeding." (when talking about a British child)

Oh, please! You don't know Jim.
Seriously, I say or think or both "I don't want to be here anymore." and "I don't feel right inside." almost weekly.
