Schitt’s Creek still has one more season before it concludes for good. While fans might be sad about this, they can agree that the show has had a fantastic run. One of the aspects that make this series so great is its ability to be extremely hilarious while still having a lot of heart. Even though the main characters can be a bit ridiculous, they learn and grow over time, making viewers become invested in them. One of the most intriguing storylines has been David’s, as he becomes more open and less cynical.
While seeing David’s growth has been great, his humor has remained consistently sharp. We’ve compiled a list of some of the best sarcastic but endearing quotes from David so far.
Updated on January 8th, 2021, by Kristen Palamara: Schitt’s Creek has recently concluded with its sixth and final season, but the characters and their dialogue remain as iconic as ever. The entire cast delivers hilarious and lovable quotes throughout the show, and one of the best sarcastic characters is David Rose. Although he’s sarcastic, David’s quotes are hilarious, easily quotable, and some of the most lovable dialogue on the show. We’ve added five more sarcastic-but-lovable David Rose quotes to this list because there can never be enough of his funny lines.
David can be easily persuaded by food and appreciates good pizza while Patrick watches the game on television or enjoys some good barbeque after struggling through playing a baseball game. When Johnny calls the kids to celebrate with pizza, David immediately responds hilariously upon seeing that his dad has only gotten one pizza for the family. He compares his life of having to share a pizza with three other people to the musical Les Misérables.
Moira claims to know how to make enchiladas but enlists David to help her recreate the dish after years of not cooking. She reads off the recipe instructions to him and says that he needs to fold in the cheese, to which he claims he has no idea what that means. She continues to yell the instruction at him until he finally explodes and screams that she should just fold in the cheese herself.
In a sentimental moment between David and Ted, David gives Ted advice about potentially rekindling his relationship with Alexis, beginning with this quote. David is known to be self-deprecating, but he actually provides some insightful and caring advice to Ted when he needed it the most. David says that he’s been burned in the romance department several times, but it’s always important to try again and that Ted should put himself out there again.
In the pilot episode, David asks Stevie for a towel multiple times—three, to be exact—yet he still hasn’t gotten one. It’s very in character for David to use the word “thrice” instead of saying he’s asked three times, but it’s still a hilarious choice of words either way. This quote and roast of the town of Schitt’s Creek wouldn’t be as iconic or sarcastic if he hadn’t chosen to use the word thrice.
David tries to cheer up Moira, who is running for Council and is told that she’s not very approachable by the townspeople. David delivers this sarcastic line, saying that, of course, Moira is unapproachable, but it’s not a bad thing. Moira at first excitedly agrees with him and then backtracks when she realizes that he’s not agreeing with her that she’s approachable but instead saying that she can stay unapproachable.
