More of the T.G.I.Friday’s Roundtable
The T.G.I.Friday’s Round Table is a group of El Segundo, CA, administrative assistants, public relations specialists, IT staff members, and sales associates that meets every day at the T.G.I.Friday’s for lunch or happy hour to trade quips and witticisms. These gathering have become widely known as a source of many of today’s greatest sayings and most biting observations. A few of the best-known classic interchanges–involving the likes of Todd Barnes, Brian Vellerman, and Karen McGee among other giants–are below:
Brian Kinney: (angry) “Hey, Todd! Did you freakin’ eat my lunch that I had in the break room fridge?”
Todd Barnes: “Yeah. I believe so. It had your name on it.”
Brian Vellerman: “Yeah. Sorry. But that guy cannot control a meeting. I mean, I could pull it out and start jerking off right there at the conference table during an Operations Review and he would still be too scared to tell me to stop.”
Karen McGee: “But you did pull it out once during a meeting and start jerking off!”
Brian Vellerman: “Yeah. I know, Karen. But I’m talking figuratively now, not literally. Jesus.”
Dan Stearman: “You guys wanna see ‘Spider-Man 3′ with me at Kingfield Mall tonight?”
Pedro Tample: “I don’t know. I don’t know anyone who’s liked it at all.”
Dan Stearman: “Yeah, I know, but there’s nothing else out right now I wanna see either. So I kind of have to see it.”
Cheryl Burke: “And he was like, ‘You’re so hot!’ and I was like, ‘C’mon! Give me a break! What are you talking about?’”
Maria Timmerman: “You are hot.”
Cheryl Burke: “Oh, give me a break.”
Maria Timmerman: “You know it’s true. I mean, right now, you’re wearing no top and just nipple tassels.”
Cheryl Burke: “Oh, this is all I had that was clean. And they’re really comfortable.”
Diane Oberman: “And they said the Sears Tower is, like, 20 miles tall or something.”
Chester Feldman: “I think that might be not right.”
Chris Wong: “It’s like a quarter mile tall at most.”
Diane Oberman: “That’s what it was! A quarter mile! I forgot exactly, but I knew it was something like that.”
Percy Udge: “Dude! He freaking dropped a pen right ON the floor!”
Brian Tight: “Ha! Ha! That’s hilarious, dude! When was this?”
Percy Udge: “It was last year around getting ready for the trade show. Just outright dropped that ink pen, bro!”
Brian Tight: “God, so funny, dude.”
