This is not MsMojo's best quote race! Wait, no, it totally is. Welcome to MsMojo, and today we’ll be counting down our picks for the Top 20 Funniest RuPaul’s Drag Race Quotes.
For this list, we’ll be looking at the most hilarious and quotable lines from the reality competition series. Even though Ru and the judges have had some highly quotable moments, we’re only including remarks from the competing queens.
#20: High Empress to the Yeti Folk
Heidi N Closet, a small town queen from Ramseur, North Carolina, left a huge impression on Season 12 of RuPaul’s Drag Race, mostly due to her charming and hilarious personality. From her expert teeth whistling to trying out various different names, including Heidi Ho and Heidi Afrodite, she didn’t have to try hard at all to make the audience laugh. One of her best lines was from the Frozen Eleganza Look when she declared herself the high empress to the yeti folk. You just can’t make this stuff up. Heidi N Closet made us all feel blessed and highly favored!
#19: Absolutely
How is she though? Gia Gunn, that is. The sassy season 6 queen was silly and sometimes even a little ditzy -- she asked “What’s a Tony?” before the Tony Awards runway. Honestly, it creates some laugh-inducing moments, especially in the confessionals where it feels like she’s actually talking to the viewer. Her signature saying “Absolutely!” can be used as a response to...well, anything really. Even on the runway after receiving critiques, Gia still uses her iconic line. Whether intentional or not, it’s pretty funny when you realize just how much she says it. Gia just wants to feel her oats, let her feel her oats!
#18: Water Off a Duck’s Back
The Season 5 winner of RuPaul’s Drag Race came off as genuinely kind, silly, and above all else, a talented queen. It was kind of a no-brainer that she did so well, since she was incredibly well-rounded and unique. One thing she’s known for is the personal mantra she has for herself. Jinkx said, “When you’re dealing with people judging what you do, you just have to let it roll off like water off a duck’s back.” During the competition, she repeated this phrase so often that it became equally funny and endearing.
#17: No Tea, No Shade...
She is Jasmine Masters and she’s got something to say! Even though her time on season 7 was short, she certainly stayed long enough to create some quotable moments that many people, whether fans of the show or not, have probably heard in some capacity. One of the best and probably most well known is “No T, no shade, no pink lemonade.” Ever heard of spilling the T? Well, with Miss Masters, it may be more accurate to say you’re spilling the lemonade! Spilling the T is a historic saying mainly used in the drag community, but with the addition of pink lemonade, Jasmine made it her own silly saying and helped bring it to everyone’s lingo.
#16: Henny
Stacy Layne Matthews, a contestant of the 3rd RuPaul’s Drag Race season, was overflowing with all the Southern sass she could possess. One of her sayings is “Honey” when referencing other queens, but her drawl makes it sound like “Henny”. This charming twang has permeated into the community, and many queens and fans alike say it like she does. Even Mama Ru herself uses it! It seems a Southern accent can add some charm to anything, doesn’t it? The Stacy Layne Matthews quote from Season 3 was so great that it was incorporated into a main challenge of All Stars Season 4!
#15: Choices
Arguably one of the most improved queens from her original Season 2 debut to her iconic appearance on All Stars Season 2, Tatianna definitely made an impact on the culture of the show. She had memorable catch phrases, like “thank you” and “Tyra is a complete bitch”, but her All Stars catchphrase of “Choices” takes the cake as the funniest. She even made a commercial during one of the challenges using the phrase to her advantage. Her calm, matter of fact attitude makes it all the better. Let’s just say she made some pretty good choices on the show.
#14: How Orange You Look
Of course, this list wouldn’t be complete without some Alyssa Edwards, right? Naturally, most of her quotes are directed at her then ex-friend Coco Montrese, who swiped the Miss Gay America crown from her, quote “backstabbing [her] behind [her] back”. They had quite a few arguments throughout season 5, but one of the most infamous, and hilarious, is when they’re doing their makeup next to one another and start making shady comments. Obviously, the situation escalated quickly when Alyssa called Coco out for her distinctly orange mug. Not only do they both look a little ridiculous, it’s impossible not to laugh at the entire scenario.
#13: Facts Are Facts
Miss Monique Heart, the brown cow, stunning queen from Season 10 of RuPaul’s Drag Race, had hilarious quotes and moments galore. Often during the confessionals, she would talk directly to the audience, even addressing America when she was speaking. One of the funniest instances of this is when she asserts “facts are facts, America”, which sounds redundant, but is honestly just silly and true. The lovable queen kept it real throughout the season, which generally made for heartwarming and downright awesome moments. Undeniably, she was “very that” America, so take note.
#12: Sickening
This Untucked moment from Season 3 of RuPaul’s Drag Race is infamously well known, and for good reason. Two contestants, Shangela and Mimi Imfurst, get into a heated debate about their drag, which results in personal attacks. Mimi, very absurdly, accuses Shangela of having a sugar daddy, which Shangela did not take lightly. The absolutely ridiculous behavior of Mimi followed by Shangela’s rant were pretty funny, but it’s near impossible not to laugh when Shangela throws her drink at Mimi. Moral of the story? Don’t falsely accuse someone of having a sugar daddy unless you’re ready for the backlash.
#11: Walking Children in Nature
We’re not going to deny that Season 1 was...well, interesting to say the least. The show has definitely evolved since then and grown into what it is now. That being said, there were a few very entertaining individuals on the series’ premiere season, including Tammie Brown. Eccentric and a little weird, there’s no doubt she helped to make the season wild from start to finish. Specifically, at the reunion, Tammie Brown came for none other than the queen of drag queens herself, RuPaul. Even though it’s a bit tense, the comment is bizarrely hilarious, mostly due to the fact that it makes next to no sense. In addition, let us not forget her hilarious line on All Stars 1, “Come on Teletubby, teleport us to Mars”. You’ve got to admit, she’s a character.
#10: Your Tone Seems Very Pointed
In an argument between Season 4 contestants Phi Phi O’Hara and Willam, Phi Phi mostly just yelled at Willam because she didn’t like her and thought she had no talent. Also, she didn’t take well to the fact that Willam called her out in front of the other queens. Safe to say, these two weren’t close, but it all came to a head when Willam delivered the line “Your tone seems very pointed right now.” This moment was hilarious, because Phi Phi was so fired up and impassioned, but Willam shot her down with her nonchalant aloofness.
#9: Very Attacked
Oh, Laganja. Miss Laganja Estranja of season 6 had some memorably hilarious moments for sure. Whether it was one of her various meltdowns or her entire comedy challenge, they’re hard to forget. She’s an intense individual, to say the least, and she was very quick to get upset on her season. The most hilarious in particular is when Adore Delano, who was friends with her before the season, said she was acting differently for the cameras. When the other queens agreed, Ganja blew up, screaming “I feel very attacked!” Her giant pink hairdo and intense demeanor really made the moment much funnier than it should’ve been.
#8: Go Back to Party City
This classic line from Season 4 is on this list for just that reason -- it’s a classic! Every Drag Race fan knows it, since it’s pretty much gone down in infamy. The funny part about it is that Phi Phi meant for this comment to be shady towards Sharon Needles. Though, it’s kind of hard to argue with Sharon’s style, albeit quirky and spooky, since she ended up the winner of Season 4. Obviously, Phi Phi and Sharon didn’t have a great relationship, but this particular comment is funny because Phi Phi was trying to turn Sharon’s uniqueness into a bad thing. We all know that, along with charisma, nerve, and talent, uniqueness is essential to be crowned victorious.
#7: I Am from Chicago
The fights between queens on RuPaul’s Drag Race almost always devolve into shouting matches, and this was certainly the case for the throwdown between Morgan McMichaels and Mystique Summers. Don’t come for a queen’s mug if she’s from Chicago! Right? Well, that’s what Mystique thought anyway. Morgan was critiquing her look, when Mystique finally snapped. It’s a funny moment because she says it with such conviction, you just have to appreciate it. A close second to this would be her “two-piece and a Biscuit” catchphrase that started during her casting.
#6: You Look Like Linda Evangelista
On Season 9 of RuPaul’s Drag Race, the most notable moment is probably when Aja mocked Valentina, who wasn’t even coming for her! Frankly, it was pretty much a temper tantrum on her part, because she was pissed at the judges for always adoring Valentina’s looks. When another queen asks Valentina what her critiques were for the runway, Aja cut her off, mimicking the judges saying, “You’re perfect, you’re beautiful, you look like Linda Evangelista,” et cetera. While somewhat unwarranted -- Valentina didn’t do anything to Aja specifically -- it was silly considering how strongly Aja reacted.
#5: The Shade of It All
Let’s face it -- Latrice Royale is one quotable queen, often using her humorous personality and wit to her advantage. Whether it be “Jesus is a biscuit” or what have you, she’s one fierce queen in competition and tongue. Another queen who rocks the confessionals, Latrice is great. One of our favorite comical moments is in the season 4 debut, when she whips out her fan and comments on “the shaaaaade of it all”. We knew right from the get-go that Miss Royale would not only be a strong contender, but also a funny one at that.
#4: Back Rolls?
Naturally, Alyssa Edwards has to make another appearance on this list. Some may even say she’s the funniest queen of all time? Though that is subjective, it’s hard to deny that she had some seriously hilarious commentary on Season 5 of RuPaul’s Drag Race. Whether it’s a result of her oblivion or incredulity, the way she says “Back rolls?” after Jade Jolie comments on them is wildly funny. Needless to say, Alyssa Edwards is someone who is effortlessly funny, often making the audience laugh without specifically intending to do so.
#3: RuPaul’s Best Friend Race
We’ve all heard the old saying, “This is not RuPaul’s best friend race”. Well, that iconic line was coined by Season 4 contestant Lashauwn Beyond. When discussing makeup, sewing, and other skills essential to Drag Race, Lashauwn told Jiggly Caliente that it’s not a best friend race, so she didn’t mind telling other queens off. Needless to say, this created a bit of tension, though she made a good point in the moment. The quote she coined has been used time and time again, and is more often than not absolutely hilarious when queens bring it back.
#2: Not Today, Satan
Bianca Del Rio? On this list? Duh! Her crass, borderline abrasive humor has been known to be dry and dark, making her a greatly entertaining contestant for the show. On Season 6, there were numerous examples of Bianca’s wit at work, including her knee-slapping impersonation of Judge Judy for the Snatch Game. But, one of the funniest and most memorable moments was when she said, “Not today, Satan. Not today.” in a confessional response to a comment from another queen. Obviously, she flourished after she took the crown of Season 6, naming her tour after the quote.
Before we unveil our top pick, here are a few honorable mentions.
Rigga Morris
Alyssa Edwards, All Stars Season 2
Because Does Anybody Actually Know How to Pronounce Rigor Mortis?

Thorgy Thor, All Stars Season 3
Because Who Wouldn’t Respond to Being Eliminated in That Way?
Party

#1: Miss Vanjie
Come on, of course Miss Vanessa Vanjie Mateo would be at our number one pick! Very rarely are exit lines much to sneeze at, due to the fact that a queen’s departure is generally sad. However, this was definitely not the case for the first queen eliminated on Season 10. After her lip sync, she repeated Miss Vanjie 3 times, leaving a hilarious impression on all the queens. The quote was used for the rest of the season, and even Mama RuPaul made a few jokes and doubled over in laughter because of the hilarious quote.
