It’s Thursday and you know what that means… time to throw. Some. Things. BACK.
This week, as part of Throwback Thursday, we decided to take a look at some of the most memorable phrases from the early years of the Walking Dead. It was a simpler time in the first 50 issues, a time of less Negan and thus, less cursing.
Vote below and let us know in the comments if you think the most iconic line from TWD is missing from our list!

The thing about smart mother fuckers is that sometimes, they sound like crazy mother fuckers to stupid mother fuckers.
Now that I think about it, I’m not sure if this is in the first 50 issues. I read it in volume 9 (which, as we all know, collects issues 49-54). Close enough I suppose.
That quote is like from Issue 54…
KOOOOOOOOOOORL
“We are the walking dead!” Our main character using the title of the story.
when i saw the post before i even got to see the options, this was inone was in my mind, its stuck with me all these years so its got to be “we are the walking dead” 🙂
I remember the feeling that it gave me when I turned the page. Whoa!
in the context of mentally where Rick was at and the great speech that he gave just before the line was delivered, got to be one of the most iconic lines, easily, a great moment.
That line really stuck with me too… and I thought “the walking dead” referred to the “zombies”. it fit so perfectly.
I was thinking the same thing. That’s why it hit me the way it did when I read that Rick was actually describing himself & his people.
Just look at the flowers
This is the comic series?
Yep, that quote is just in the show!
Doesn’t get much better than “We ARE the Walking Dead.”
But that was over 100 issues ago now (Holy shit). It no longer really matches the philosophy and strength that our central characters have developed.
“Throwback Thursday”
MOTHERFUCKING DICK SUCK CUNT FUCKING FUCK FUCKITY FUCK FUCKER FUCKING FUCK FUCKERS! ….FUCK!
THIS NEEDS TO BE ON THE LIST
This was in 117, not in the first 50 issues. Smart one.
Neither were “tainted meat” or “they’re fucking with the wrong people”
Yep.
How is the Tainted meat one near last. Bullshit. Kill them all does have a ring to it though,
They’re looking for iconic….not necessarily the best or favorite line.
“Kill them all” was iconic.
Agree. The only one up there in that list that doesn’t quite fit the bill as “iconic” (but is memorable), IMO, is “You’re eating tainted meat! Tainted meat!”…although that’s certainly one of my all-time favorite moments in the whole comic.
They’re all pretty damn memorable that’s for sure!
The more recent “I believe in Rick Grimes” that Maggie said during All Out War was pretty darn memorable, I think.
yes good one !
Let’s fuck this dog
The thing about smart mother fuckers is that sometimes, they sound like crazy mother fuckers to stupid mother fuckers.
Rick’s entire speech in #24 is just really damn memorable. It gives me goosebumps each time I read it. It’s really that transition point where Rick Grimes becomes an altogether different man from who he was in #1.
I like Arggghhh. It happens like every page, walkers only line. Yep, Arggghhh is memorable.
Where’s Carl????……… CCCCCAAAAARRRRRLLLLLL!!!!!!!????
I’m also a fan of “We don’t die.”
“I know how the safety works” – Andrea
Love Andrea’s line…”we don’t die.”
Though also not in first 50.
Definitely We ARE the walking dead. That was amazing. I actually memorized the entire We are the walking dead monologue and performed it in drama class last month. So awesome!
SOMEBODY JUST DRUGGED THEM OUT HERE, AND SET EM’ ON FIRE!
I love how although it’s supposed to be like, the first 50 issues although the fourth and fifth quotes are in 61-66… Oh, and by the way, my favorite is, “Arrgh”
“We ARE The Walking Dead!” is easily the most iconic quote from the entire series.
“You’re eating TAINTED MEAT!” was kind of funny though.
We are the walking dead? Did Rick really say that? Because that’s just awful. Why would anyone vote for that. Obvious and awful.
Yes, Rick said it. But what made it such a good quote is his speech before it.
How about you find out the context before you say something is obvious and awful? Because otherwise, that’s just awful.
Wasn’t far off on the context, obviously it was Rick saying it. Didn’t remember the speech. It’s still a cheesy line.
I’m just going to go with “no” and move on.
You just watch the show? Don’t read the comic?
I read the comics. That was what, 100 issues ago. Forgot he said that. Just seems pretty lame to put the words in his mouth but ok, I’ll go back and look.
“Well Stranger… We’re feeding them strangers!”. Always loved that line. Perfect way to finish that issue!
Also the look on his face.
That’s by far the best line!
Two of those are from the same issue!
Negan: Fuck…
“We are the walking dead” nice big splash page
Carl saying “Dont hurt my daddy again!” right after putting a bullet in Shane’s neck
Rick talking to a dead Shane ” I ain’t gonna bury you again! you son of a bitch!”
I hope you have your shitting pants on.
What!?
Your shitting pants. I hope your wearing them right now… because your’e about to shit your fucking pants.
Though not in first 50…truly the line that got me the most was when Glenn was dying and called out, “Maggie!”
It’s not a quote, but I don’t think there’s been an issue that’s gone by since Michonne debuted in 19 that I haven’t read “SVAASH” at least a half a dozen times
My favorite line’s right before the governor, used the kitana to whacked Hershel Greene on the neck… and whispered, “LIAR.”
