Over 1 year in the making and easily the largest competition we have ever attempted for the Supernatural Hiatus Breaker, we have finally started the Ultimate SPN Quote contest. Due to the sheer amount of polls we need to get through and the fact that the Favorite Contest competition starts soon, there will be a ton of polls in each post. As always there is only one vote per poll per IP address to make it more fair. Polls will close at 7 pm CST, unless otherwise noted. I will try to have new polls posted by 8 pm CST but things happen so flexibility is the key. During the Favorite Show competition we will halt our contest. However, I heard your complaints last year so anytime the Favorite Show contest halts for more than 24 hours I will post the next set of polls in this one. That will also help us get done before winter hiatus is over. :-) So without further ado....Welcome to the Season 8 Supernatural Hiatus Breaker Contest. Happy voting!
PS. Quotes that are too long for the poll can be found in their entirety below the polls and remember commenting makes hiatus shorter.
Quotes too Long for Poll:
Dean: "This book, this is Dad's single most valuable possession. Everything he knows about every evil thing is in here and he's passed it on to us. I think he wants us to pick up where he left off. You know…saving people, hunting things - the family business." (Wendigo)
Cas: "We need to talk." Dean: "I'm dreaming, aren't I?" Cas: "It's not safe here. Somewhere more private." Dean: "More private? We're inside my head." Cas: "Exactly. Someone could be listening." (The Rapture)
Dean: "I'm sorry man but what about a human by day, a freak animal killing machine by night don't you understand? I mean werewolves are bada**. We haven't seen one since we were kids." Sam: "Okay Sparky, and you know what? After we kill it, we can go to Disneyland." (Heart)
Dean: "See when I was your age I saw something real bad happen to my mom and I was scared too. I didn't feel like talking just like you, but see my mom, I know she wanted me to be brave. I think about that every day and I do my best to be brave." (Dead in the Water)
Dean: "You know what, screw this." Sam: "Whoa, whoa, whoa Dean, come on." Dean: "No, I mean come on Sam, what are we doing?" Sam: "We're hunting a ghost." Dean: "A ghost? Exactly. Who does that?" Sam: "Us." Dean: "Us. Right, and that Sam…that is exactly why our lives suck. I mean come on, we hunt monsters. What the hell? I mean normal people, they see a monster and they run. But not us. No, no, no, we…we search out things that want to kill us. Yeah, huh. Or eat us. You know who does that? Crazy people. We are insane. You know then there's the…the…the bad diner food and…and the skeevy motel rooms and then the truck stop waitress with the bizarre rash. I mean who wants this life Sam? Huh, seriously. I mean do you actually like being stuck in a car with me 8 hours a day every single day. I don't think so. I mean I drive too fast and I listen to the same 5 albums over and over and over again. And…and…and I…I sing along. I'm annoying. I know that. And you, you're gassy. You eat half a burrito and you get toxic. I mean you what, you can forget it." Sam: "Whoa Dean, where are you going?" Dean: "Stay away from me Sam okay because I am done with it. I'm done with the monsters and…and…and…and the hell hounds and the ghost sickness and the damn Apocalypse. I'm out. I'm done. I quit." (Yellow Fever)
Dean: "I reiterate, freaking insane. Oh check it out. There's actually fans. There's not many of them, but still did you read this?" Sam: "Yep." Dean: "Although for fans they sure do complain a lot." (The Monster at the End of this Book)
Dean: "After you looked for me…did you look for me Sam? Good, that's good. Now we…we…always told each other not to look for each other. That's smart. Good for you. Of course we always ignored that because of our deep, abiding love for each other, but not this time right Sammy?" (We Need to Talk about Kevin)

I hope the episode is not a deciding factor in this contest. That was last summer. Like the song-to-scene, there are some awesome quotes in really bad episodes. I hope people give them a chance even if the whole package was less than par.
ReplyDeleteI loved Possessed Sam too and hope some of the other lines go far. This one was just not for me. I do hope low sodium freaks makes it though.
ReplyDeleteFunny, I think in almost every poll my vote went to the quote from the older episode. I guess I just love the old ones (season 1-3) more. Maybe coz I've heard them so many more times so I can really imagine the whole scene in my head the way they say it.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I also really love deans "crazy ghost hunting" speech from yellow fever.
Tons. It's very annoying because it's clogging up my e-mail.
ReplyDeleteThe first quote captures what the entire series is about, IMO. Love that quote!
ReplyDeleteI agree. I think that's why it was nominated so often. Personally I hope it wins the whole contest because it is the perfect snapshot of the show.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to our Summer Hiatus Breaker Ultimate Quote Contest….finally. I am so glad to be starting and I hope you are too. Hopefully all that hard work of nominating quotes for over 1 year now will pay off and make the hiatus move by quickly. Thanks to all of you who were so faithful in nominating. I will have nominating stats in the future, but let's just say that the overwhelming majority of nominations came from season 1. This set of polls happens to have most of my favorite Sam quotes so some of these will be difficult for me.
ReplyDeletePoll 1: Easiest of them all. The Wendigo quote sums up the entire series in a nutshell. The Winchesters save people by hunting things that want to eat or enslave them - the epic heroes. This quote ought to be nailed on every wall in the writers' room.
Poll 2: This one is hard because I like them both. Since I suspect most people will go with the werewolf quote, I'm going for Nightshifter because it always makes me laugh and I can use it in everyday conversation.
Poll 3: Aww man, this one hurts. The quote from Bitten was by far the best thing about that episode and is one of my favorite quotes in season 8. Still the "unsanitary" quote makes me laugh. I agree so much with Dean on that one. I think this will have to be a last minute vote.
Poll 4: Another really tough one. I adore the quote with Bobby calling them morons - it's so Bobby. However, the quote from Dead in the Water is from the scene that made me obsessed with Supernatural starting my 7 years love affair with the Winchester saga. I have to vote that way since chances are it won't be in the contest for long.
Poll 5: This one is easy for me too. Although the bossy and short quote makes me laugh, it was never one of my favorite Sam quotes. However Dean threatening to kill anyone who dared to harm Sammy is one of the best Intense Dean quotes around.
Poll 6: Surprisingly neither of these really does much for me. I vote nostalgic and go for the Pilot.
Poll 7: Easy. Cas drinking the liquor store is one of my favorite Cas quotes. The other one is meh and I really did not like Lori as a PiP.
Poll 8: Again neither quote is one of the best for me. While I appreciate that the ammo conversation between Sam and John was one of the few moments in Dead Man's Blood where I didn't want the Winchesters to shut up, I recently podcasted this episode and I'm still irked. No votes for it. Skin had so many great quotes better than this one (some of which will come later in the polls) but this one gets my vote by default.
Poll 9: Ooh, another difficult one. Drugged Sam was even funnier than Drunk Sam but the Hook Man quote was one of the best parts of that episode. Um….yeah, Drugged Sam for the close win.
ReplyDeletePoll 10: I adore the Route 666 quote and quite frankly I think the quotable quips in that episode are far better than people give them credit for. However the speech in Yellow Fever is almost the only thing I like in that episode. Since I am absolutely sure that the YF quote will win by a landslide, Route 666 for me. I like quotes I can actually use in real life.
Poll 11: Tall Tales hands down. I loved a lot of quotes in TT, but this one is my favorite. Sometimes in meetings I start thinking "blah blah blah blah" and then have to quick cover my laughing. Will hand it to MBV though for making Valentine's Day Unattached Drifter Christmas though. Much better name.
Poll 12: "Poke her with a stick" always makes me laugh but I have to give Ava's enthusiasm the nod here. She's so psyched to be a criminal.
Poll 13: And here is where I wish the rankings had turned out a lot different. It is absolutely unfair that one of these quotes is going home after this round. Both of them are high on my list of Sam quotes. In the end, I give it to low sodium freaks because that and "lost my shoe" are tied for my favorite Sam quote.
Poll 14: Also on my best Sam quotes is the guidance counselor one. I understand that it will falter against the complaining fans meta, but it deserves a lot of love.
Poll 15: I never cared for "My daddy shot your daddy in the head" even though the singsong voice was pitch perfect in creepy. Therefore fruit basket wins. I love that line and anything that reminds me of Death is a plus. Um, on Supernatural that is. That didn't quite sound right.
Poll 16: Oh let's see. The quote that made Sam not looking for Dean canon, destroyed characterization and set season 8 on its collision course with disaster OR a quote that shows the brothers will do anything to save each other and features Dan at his big brother best. Gee, I wonder which one to chose. I can't believe the first quote even made it into this contest.
1 My first one is the Wendigo quote. it is the show.
ReplyDelete2 The okie dokie quote mainly because I like it. lol
3 I went with the season 8 from Bitten. I like the other quote but was never crazy about the episode.
4 I love the Christmas one but Dean helping that little boy touched me.
5 I love both, but Dean's fears and need to protect Sam come out strong here. It opens up a major part of the canon.
6. Both were rather blaaah. I went with the Pilot
7.I am not a fan of Hookman, but the Castiel quote is one of the funniest quotes from him. Drunk and deadpan.
8. I'm not overly fond of either quote. I went with the Ammo because it showed the true attitude of John Winchester.
9. Both quotes were great but Sam booping Dean's nose afterwards was classic.
10. I like both the Yellow Fever quote is one of my favorite quotes ever. I guess most of Dean's are. Sam has a few doozies in there also.
11. Unattached Drifter Christmas. Everytime I think of the blah blah blah blah, I see Sa's face and I can't handle it. lol
12. Poke her with a stick beyond a doubt. I loved it.
13. The salt one is pure Sam, but so is the Darwinism and I prefer. It is the one Sam quote besides lost my shoe, I never forget. I've seen that Darwinism.
14. Poking fun at the fandom was a unique and risky thing to do, It paid off.
15. I went with the fruit basked. It was clever. I really disliked the Sam comment from the first time I heard it.
16. I loved season 8. I know it took Carver time to clean up the mess, but it turned to be a fantastic season for me. Still, Dean protecting Sam and making that threat is much more intense and important.
poll 9, same as you, boop.
ReplyDeletepoll 10 YF quote wins for me by a long way.
poll 11 Valentine's Day because that would be what Dean would call it..Unattached Drifter Christmas
poll 12 Poke her with a stick might not go far in the contest, but right now it wins for me.
poll 13 Low sodium freaks for me also.
poll 14 Since I love when the show makes fun of its self I will go with the not many fans. But this one was close for me.
poll 15 Voted for Death and the fruit basket. But loved that ep with possessed Sam, Jared was so scary. He does evil so well and you can see it in his eyes..awesome.
poll 16 With you all the way on this one. I just want to forget that Sam did not look for Dean, but sorry to say it is something I can not get past and as good as I found many of the eps, the season was ruined for me. :(
This is just a test to see if disqus is working, can't believe there are not more comments on this.
ReplyDeleteI think maybe the post is too long so it is taking too long to load. However, we seem to be on pace for the voting so who knows. We need to keep the 16 poll pace for the the first two rounds unfortunately so we can end in a reasonable time.
ReplyDeletepoll 1, I figured the Family Business would win, so I went with the Cas Dean We're in my head, which I thought was just so funny.
ReplyDeletepoll2, Voted the same way you did in this one, okie dokey.
poll 3 I also thought the Bitten quote was classic, but I refuse to vote for ANYTHING from that waste of time ep.
poll 4 Bobby quote
poll 5 Dean threatening to kill them ALL.
poll 6 Went with Dean being afraid of Ellen. So funny.
poll 7 Cas and the liquor store, laugh out loud funny.
poll 8 John and the ammo, loved the look on Sam's face and the grin.
The first was the most nominated quote of them all.
ReplyDeleteAre you getting a lot of old comments dumped from last year and first of this year? I have had over 200 so far. Andy said he is also getting them.
ReplyDeleteAlthough it's the quotes that are to be voted, I think that without a doubt the episode they were in will influence the outcome a bit too.
ReplyDelete1) Dean's "Saving People, Hunting Things - The Family Business" quote (Wendigo)
It's what SPN was, and still should be all about.
2) Dean: "I'm sorry man but what about a human by day, a freak animal killing
machine by night don't you understand? I mean werewolves are bada**. We
haven't seen one since we were kids.... (Heart)
I liked Dean's glee over hunting the werewolf.
3) Dean: "I hate witches. They're always spewing their bodily fluids
everywhere." Sam: "Pretty much." Dean: "It's creepy. You know it's
downright unsanitary." (Malleus Maleficarum)
I agree with Dean here, and I wouldn't give Bitten the time of day anyway.
4) Dean: "See when I was your age I saw something real bad happen to my mom and I
was scared too. I didn't feel like talking just like you, but see my
mom, I know she wanted me to be brave... (DitW)
I loved the glimplse we get into Dean and how he can connect with children.
The other quote was cute too though. :)
5) Dean: "You touch my brother, I'll kill you. I swear I will kill you all. I will kill you aaaallll!" (The Benders)
I love this quote. I love when the brothers defend each other so passionately, although the other quote is great too.
6) Dean: "Dad's on a hunting trip and he hasn't been home in a few days." (Pilot)
A classic!
7) Dean: "That's it. Next time I get to watch the cute girl's house." (Hook Man)
Don't really like any of these two quotes so i gave my vote to the one losing.
8) Sam: Hey dad, whatever happened to that college fund?" John: "I spent it on ammo." (Dead Man's Blood)
I liked this moment of communion between Sam and his dad.
In the light of this quote,I can't understand why John was so angry when Sam did go to Stanford.
9) Sam: "You're my brother and I still love you. Boop!" (Sam, Interrupted)
Aw. A drugged or drunk Sam is always cute.( as is a doped Dean. ) :)
10) Sam: "It's just an interesting observation in a, you know, observationally interesting way." (Route 666)
I had no memory of this quote but I like it, so it gets my vote.
11)Sam: "Dean, this is a very serious investigation. We don't have time for any of your blah blah blah blah." (Tall Tales)
Love how Dean imagines Sam's chattering. He just blocks him out. :)
12) Dean:
"You know she could be faking." Sam: "Yeah, what do you want to do? Poke
her with a stick…Dude, you're not going to poke her with a stick."
(Playthings)
This can never not be funny.
13) Dean: "What's wrong with my food? Sam: "It's not food anymore. It's Darwinism." (Tall Tales )
I just love this quote.
14) Kat: "Why would anyone want a job like that?" Sam: "I had a cr** guidance counselor."
Ah Sam, It's what I've often wondered too!
15) Dean: "So you know what? As far as I'm concerned, it's a gift horse and I'm
not looking for teeth. I'm sending Death a damn fruit basket." (Like a
Virgin)
I want to contribute too,Dean. Well done , Death!
16) Dean: 'I'm gonna say this one time: you make a move on him, you'll be dead
before you hit the ground. Do you understand me? I mean, do I make
myself clear?" (Croatoan)
Aw, big brother Dean. How can one not love him.
The other quote must be one of the worst in SPN history, if not the worst, for it's just a lie!
Most of my favorites come from early episodes too. I think the show was snarkier back then than it has been for years. It was the dark turn it took in season 4 and has never really been as quippy. A lot of the nominated quotes from the later seasons are long, drawn out, emoangsty monologues...usually said near an Impala or alcohol.
