78 Schitt's Creek Quotes & One-Liners From The Rose Family

Schitt’s Creek has been nominated for many awards (and won quite a few of them!) for its humor, acting, and writing. The best Schitt's Creek quotes showcase exactly why people are falling in love with this unexpectedly delightful show and it's glorious cast.

The popular Canadian television show created by father and son team Eugene and Daniel Levy centers around the deeply entitled Rose family — video chain store tycoon father Johnny (Eugene Levy), former soap opera star mother (Catherine O'Hara), would be art gallery entrepreneur son David (Daniel Levy) and iconically spoiled daughter Alexis (Annie Murphy).

After losing their fortune to a shady business manager, the quad must relocate to their last remaining possession the idyllic but bizarre town of Schitt's Creek.

Schitt’s Creek is a wonderful and humorous show full of colorful, loveable and quirky characters.

Production ended after just six seasons, with the team deciding to go out on a high note, but you can enjoy the endearingly hysterical, out-of-touch and yet somehow kind of wise words of the Rose family and their fellow Schitt's Creeek residents by revisiting their best quotes, as listed below.
