News team, assemble!<\/p>\n

Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy<\/em> is officially 15 years old and while we are trying to stay classy here, we’re sort of in a glass case of emotion about this major movie milestone.<\/p>\n

On July 9, 2004, fans were first introduced to the Channel 4 News Team<\/a> (from the 1970s)\u2014made up of Ron Burgundy (Will Ferrell<\/a><\/strong>), Brian Fantana (Paul Rudd<\/a><\/strong>), Brick Tamland (Steve Carell<\/a><\/strong>) and Champ Kind (David Koechner<\/strong>)\u2014and boy was this squad hilarious.<\/p>\n

After Veronica Corningstone (Christina Applegate<\/a><\/strong>) was brought into the San Diego news station to switch things up and show an Anchorlady<\/em> on screen, the testosterone-filled office did not take it well. In fact, after falling for Veronica and then messing up on camera and having San Diego hate him all of a sudden, Ron spirals out of control in the now-iconic comedy<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The good news is that his fellow reporters continue to have his back, especially when they tussle with rival news teams in a literal brawl, but we do have to ask, are four male reporters actually<\/em> better than one?<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

15 years later fans are still rooting for the Channel 4 News Team, and not’s not just because Brick killed a guy! The real reason we love this movie so much is the cast, humor and hilarious one-liners<\/a>.<\/p>\n

To celebrate this film’s big birthday, we’ve rounded up our favorite and most quote-worthy lines for you to laugh out loud at. Plus, we want to hear which line you think is the best of them all.<\/p>\n

Great Odin’s raven, what are you waiting for? It’s time to relive Ferrell’s best Ron Burgundy moments<\/a> via his quotes (as well as the rest of the cast’s lines) below and get your laugh on!<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

“You stay classy, San Diego. I’m Ron Burgundy?”<\/strong> In addition to now thinking that San Diego might be one of the classiest cities around, Ron’s funny way of questioning his own name due to a teleprompter mistake will forever be in our minds.<\/p>\n

“Where did you get those clothes, at the toilet store?”<\/strong> Ooh, burn Brick!<\/p>\n

“Great Knights of Columbus, that hurt!”<\/strong> Seriously, if you aren’t saying this when something surprising hurts you, you’re doing it wrong.<\/p>\n

“They’ve done studies, you know. 60 percent of the time, it works every time.”<\/strong> Sex Panther might sound absurd, but according to Brian it totally works…kind of.<\/p>\n

“I’m in a glass case of emotion.”<\/strong> We’ve all been there, Ron. It gets better!<\/p>\n

“It’s so damn hot\u2026milk was a bad choice!”<\/strong> If there is one thing you take away from this movie it is that milk on a hot day is never a good call.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

“Son of a bee-sting.”<\/strong> This is basically the retro version of Buddy the Elf (Ferrell’s character in Elf<\/em><\/a>) saying, “son of a nutcracker!”<\/p>\n

“I love, lamp.”<\/strong> OK, we know Brick was just saying items he saw, but let’s be real here, we love lamp too.<\/p>\n

“By the beard of Zeus!”<\/strong> How can you not laugh when you think of the character yelling this?<\/p>\n

“It is anchorman<\/em>, not anchorlady<\/em>! And that is a scientific fact!”<\/strong> Champ isn’t the brightest of the bunch but he isn’t exactly wrong here.<\/p>\n

“I’m gonna punch you in the ovary, that’s what I’m gonna do. A straight shot. Right to the baby maker.”<\/strong> When Ron and Veronica fight it is both funny and sad, which is why we find ourselves laughing at this banter but also cringing just a little.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

“Great Odin’s raven!”<\/strong> File this under the new way to say, “OMG.”<\/p>\n

“I love scotch. Scotchy scotch scotch. Here it goes down, down into my belly.”<\/strong> Ron is all of us on a Friday night at the start of a three-day weekend.<\/p>\n

“I’m very important. I have many leather-bound books and my apartment smells of rich mahogany.”<\/strong> Clearly having leather-bound books makes you smarter, duh.<\/p>\n

“Don’t act like you’re not impressed.” <\/strong>You caught us, Ron. We are totally impressed!<\/p>\n

Anchorman<\/em> lovers, it’s your turn. Sound off on which of these funny quotes from the memorable movie is your all-time favorite below and then grab Baxter and a glass of scotch (or milk) and get ready to read the news!<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
