For eight hilarious seasons,Mila Kunisportrayed the beautiful-yet-spoiled and vain Jackie Burkhart on the groovy teen sitcomThat ‘70s Show. The fan-favorite comedy series helpedlaunch the careerof the talented actress, as it did for fellow stars like Ashton Kutcher and Topher Grace. The popular show ran from 1998 to 2006 and centered on a group of teenage misfits in the fictional town of Point Place, Wisconsin during the 1970s, chronicling their uproarious misadventures and shenanigans.
Kunis’ feisty portrayal of the conceited Jackie quickly made her one of the most memorable characters on the show, and she had no problem hitting her friends with some witty (and absolutely hilarious) zingers. Let’s take a look at some of Jackie’s sassiest quotes fromThat ‘70s Show.
15“I am the b**ch! And you love me."
In the early seasons of the hit comedy, Jackie and Hyde frequently exchanged jabs and had no problem poking fun at one another. When Jackie develops a bit of a crush on the Point Place misfit, she sets out to win him over and prove he has feelings for her in return by bringing a guy to the Forman’s Fourth of July BBQ.
When her date Chip makes a comment to Hyde about wanting to hook up with Jackie and that she’s known for being rather…sassy, Hyde ends up decking the guy much to Jackie’s delight. After realizing he was defending her honor, she dropsthis hilarious quotein a giddy response.
14"I’m not strong, but I know a lot of ways to destroy men emotionally."
Jackie is known for being the ultimate manipulator and has asserted her dominance in both her relationship with Kelso and later Hyde, never being one to shy away from using her sharp tongue as her most trusted weapon. She has showcased her “gift” at tearing down a man and lowering his defenses and has executed some pretty intense emotional warfare throughout her relationships, refusing to give her partner the upper hand.
Jackie proudly declares her ability to psychologically take down a man to Donna, which somehow makes up for her lack of overall strength.
13“I want what I want when I want it. What’s so immature about that?”
To say Jackie is spoiled might be a bit of an understatement, as she was treated like a princess by her dad and became accustomed to getting exactly what she wanted when she wanted it. Though she is later humbled after her wealthy father is jailed for his shady dealings and for bribery, Jackie could be extremely demanding and selfish and truly only put her own needs first.
Though she does ultimately grow over the series and becomes less self-centered, the brassy brunette still remained vocal about what she wanted and deserved.
12"I’m everybody’s type, that’s my thing."
Few quotes are as accurate and totally encompassing of a character as this zinger is for Jackie, as it captures her overwhelming confidence and extremely high opinion of herself all at the same time. AfterJackie and Hyde break up, and she decides she wants to get him back, Jackie has a talk with Kelso after her ex is seen with another woman, someone rebellious and edgy like he is and her completely opposite.
She refuses to accept that he couldn’t be interested in her anymore, instead displaying her conceited attitude once again by stating, “I’m everybody’s type, that’s my thing.”
11"I’m going to go out, meet some boys, and crush their hearts one by one."
In an effort to move on from her sadness following her breakup with Hyde, Jackie decides the best method to mend a broken heart is to crush those of any boys unlucky enough to cross her path.
The quote perfectly captures her attitude and resilience against adversity and hardships and showcases her determination to never get down and to remember her own self-worth. It’s an honest and amusing expression that is 100% Jackie and reminds fans that while she might experience some painful setbacks in life, she’s far too fabulous to stay down for long.
10"You’re watching me live my life, that’s better than any movie."
Let’s face it, Jackie probably wouldn’t make the greatest sibling since she’s completely and utterly enamored by herself and loves being the center of attention. Being an only child worked out great for the headstrong lady as she became spoiled by her parents and got everything she wanted, and having a young sibling probably wouldn’t have ended well.
When Jackie was tasked with volunteering and being a “big sister” for school, she was paired up with a young girl better fit to hang out with the laid-back Donna than the high-maintenance cheerleader. When the bored girl brings up that she wants to actually do something fun instead of hanging in the basement, Jackie bluntly retorts, “You’re watching me live my life, that’s better than any movie.”
9"I’m not jealous. I just want to pop that inflatable b**ch and watch her fly around the room."
After Kelso’s California fling Annette shows upin Point Placeto pick up where things left off after their summer romance, a clearly annoyed Jackie attempts to keep her cool and act unbothered by the blonde’s arrival. Despite being in a happy relationship with Hyde, Jackie still has some unresolved feelings over her ex-boyfriend Kelso dumping her and taking off to the West Coast, and her attitude towards the pair only continues to build and build.
When Donna questions Jackie over her hostile behavior towards Annette during an impromptu sleepover, Jackie can’t help but throw this side-splitting zinger in response.
8"I cannot be held responsible for the things that come out of my mouth."
Jackie isn’t the best at taking accountability for her actions when she’s in the wrong, and the fiery character had her defenses up after making a serious verbal blunder while at a funeral at the Formans. After her anger towards Annette regarding her relationship with Kelso boiled over, a hot-headed Jackie loudly demanded she “get off my boyfriend” after watching them kiss.

An embarrassed Hyde rightfully questioned if she was over Kelso after her very public outcry, to which Jackie attempted to play off any wrongdoing and simply stated that she was not responsible for the words that came out of her mouth.
7“Look, the sooner you realize I’m a genius, the better off we’ll both be.”
Throughout the duration of the sitcom, avid viewers came to know and love Jackie for her superficial attitude and saucy retorts, with the image-driven character heavily focused on her outer appearance. While she constantly boasts about her shiny luscious hairand cute ensembles, the fact that Jackie is actually very intelligent often gets glossed over.
When she was in high school, Jackie got good grades and scored well on the SATs and was even the voice of reason when it came to the gang’s schemes and scams. She constantly kept Kelso in line, and she orchestrated a lot of positive changes for Hyde; though there is absolutely no denying Jackie was vain, she also proved herself to be very smart as well.
6"Can they make a ring big enough to fit your Paul Bunyan hands?"
After Bob and Joanne take off for the weekend and leave Donna alone with an empty house, Hyde, Kelso, and Fez decide they should throw a massive party and utilize the parent-free space by whooping it up and engaging in wild shenanigans. When Donna and Eric put the kibosh on a massive rager and reveal they want to spend the weekend alone to prepare for married life, an openly annoyed Jackie can’t help but take a jab at the redhead when she discusses getting her ring re-sized.
In the event that Jackie didn’t get what she wanted at any given moment, fans knew very well she had a massive burn locked and loaded at all times.
