Let's all agree to something: Cisco is the funniest character on The Flash . It's an undeniable fact. But he's brought more than an awesome sense of humor to the table. Cisco's passion for his work combined with the compassion and appreciation he has for his friends is admirable. Sure, he's made some mistakes (why on Earth would you ever take Hartley out of his prison? You know he's just going to escape! And don't even get me started on that cold gun...) but who wouldn't in the pursuit of furthering science and protecting your friends? In honor of this hilarious, adorable, youthful scientist, why not take a trip down memory lane of some of Cisco's best quotes from the first 14 episodes of The CW's hit new series?
From the moment he burst onto the screen, Cisco was as memorable as they come. The Flash was originally compared to Arrow before it premiered, but it showed a welcome difference in the portrayal of comic book characters. The series never needed to be gritty to reach viewers on a human and emotional level, and Cisco is a big part of that. So here are some of our favorite man of science's best moments, because even though Barry is the one zipping around to save people every day, Cisco is just as worthy of our attention.
1. On Science & Romance
The above video has the best of two different Cisco worlds: Science and women. It's basically perfect.
2. On Classic TV
There's also this gem that Cisco said to Caitlin about her and Ronnie: "You guys are like 10 seasons of Ross and Rachel, but just like smushed into one year."
3. On Arrow
We can't forget literally everything Cisco did when he first arrived in Starling City in The Flash/Arrow crossover, "The Brave and the Bold." My favorite might have to be when Cisco visits the "Arrow Cave" and immediately suggests improvements. He's right though, there's definitely room for improvements Team Arrow. Step it up guys.
4. On Science & Movies (Because They Are Surprisingly Related)
Wells: "So, potentially, these two guns could cancel each other out."
Cisco: "Yeah, but to do that you'd have to get them to cross streams."
Barry: "You mean like Ghostbusters?"
Cisco: "That film is surprisingly scientifically accurate."
5. On Bringing Back Old Sayings With Style
"I hereby christen this building as the bomb."
6. On The Silver Lining
Remember when Barry got his face pummeled by an old bully turned metahuman and Cisco immediately found the bright side? "You're lucky he didn't knock out your teeth. Those puppies don't grow back."
7. On The Important Questions
Cisco may be the consistently funny one, but Harrison has a great reaction to Cisco and Caitlin's experiment: "I look forward to seeing you accept your Nobel."
8. On Star Wars
Only Cisco could make channeling Yoda seem so awesome.
9. On Metahuman Nicknames
Roy G. Bivolo: "You think this will stop me? I will make you tear each other to pieces! You will all die screaming with rage!"
Cisco: "Blah, blah, blah, 'no prison can hold me.' Heard it all before, pal. Adios, Prism."
Caitlin: "I liked 'Rainbow Raider.'"
Cisco: "OK, you don't get to pick the names."
10. On Saving The World, One Bully At A Time
I'm 100 percent on board with this plan. "All I want to know is which other childhood bully are we gonna take down next, mine or Caitlin's? I vote mine. What? Guys, this is not a joke."
11. On Insults
This perfect quip to jerk former colleague: "How can you speak six languages and sound like a d**k in every one of them?"
12. On Hartley Rathaway
Barry: "You guys never mentioned his name."
Caitlin: "That's because Hartley had a challenging personality."
Cisco: "What she means is, he was mostly a jerk. But, every once in a while, he could be a d**k."
13. On His Hobbies
Cisco tells like it is. This is how he spends his time, hanging out with superpowered prisoners.
14. On What We Can Look Forward To This Season
More nicknames. If you couldn't already tell, Cisco is just the best.
