30 Rock’s naïve, eternally optimistic, possibly inbred NBC page Kenneth Parcell (played by Jack McBrayer) is always ready with some helpful advice or a fascinating story about his upbringing in the South. Just because the things he says are almost never actually helpful or relevant doesn’t make them any less amusing. Liz Lemon and Jack Donaghy may get the meatier storylines, and Tracy Jordan may say more outrageous things, but Kenneth always sneaks up with a hilariously warped take on everyday matters. Here’s a list of the best Kenneth Parcell quotes.

•From “Subway Hero” (Season 2):

Explaining his political opinions to Jack: “I don’t vote Republican or Democrat. Choosing is a sin, so I always just write in the Lord’s name!”
