41 Moira Rose quotes from ‘Schitt’s Creek’ that are even better than fruit wine

Schitt’s Creek may be over, but these Moira Rose quotes are still as iconic as the woman who uttered them.

Catherine O’Hara and a wall of wigs with a personality all their own mixed with a wild unplaceable accent was always going to be a recipe for success, but we never could have predicted just how gif-worthy Moira Rose would prove herself to be. At this point, there are probably more beloved Moira Rose quotes, gifs, and memes than there are episodes of Schitt’s Creek!

Whether she’s spouting off very thinly veiled insults about Schitt’s Creek, providing her extremely unique flavor of parenting, or just being every bit of her fabulous and dramatic self, every word Moira Rose says is laced in golden human hair, and not just when it’s adorning her head.
