Can’t deny Clueless It is full of great dialogue.
Teen comedy is one of the most quotable movies out there. Decades after its theatrical release, people still refer to its famous lines.
In addition to “Phew, as if!” and Cher’s enthusiastic use of the word “totally”, there are many other citable moments. Read on for some of the most underrated quotes from Clueless.
‘Clueless’ was released in 1995

Clueless debuted in theaters on July 19, 1995. Inspired by the classic Jane Austen novel, Emma, writer and director Amy Heckerling set out to create a ridiculously positive character. Enter Cher Horowitz (Alicia Silverstone), a teenager from Beverly Hills and one of the most popular girls at school.
Throughout the coming-of-age movie, Cher goes through two makeovers, realizing she’s in love with her former stepbrother, and helps with the causes. A box office success, the film proved so popular that it lived in television and stage adaptations. Without further ado, here are some of the Clueless quotes we think deserve a little more love.
Cher’s excavations towards Amber
So this is more of a quote because Cher did a lot of little digging on her arch enemy, Amber (Elisa Donovan), but it’s impossible to pick just one. However, we have selected two of our favorites.
One of them is when Cher, her best friend Dionne (Stacey Dash) and the new girl they take under her protection, Tai (Brittany Murphy), go to a party in the Valley.
Amber is there and Cher can’t resist calling Amber to choose her outfit. When she comes across Amber, Cher says, “Would you rather be a fashion victim or be challenged by the ensemble?”

Another of our favorite digs that Cher did at Amber’s expense is when she and Dionne are in the school bathroom. They stand in front of the sinks and see Amber looking at herself in the mirror. Cher, who doesn’t let the moment pass, looks at Amber’s voluminous hair, turns to Dionne and says, “Did I miss something? Is your hair back big? Burn.
Dionne’s line, “There goes your social life,” during gym class gets more attention than the aforementioned quotes, but they are all too good not to get at least some recognition.
Every time Cher says “roll a **”
At least twice during Clueless Cher uses the choice phrase “haul a **”. They are some of our favorite lines throughout the film. During her debate class speech, she describes having to “transport a ** to the kitchen” to get more places.

And when her teacher, Mr. Hall (Wallace Shawn) calls her for being late to class twice, she uses “haul a **” again.
Here’s how Cher used the phrase, according to the New York Post:
Mr. Hall: “Cher Horowitz, two tardies.”
Cher: “I am opposed! Do you remember the dates of these supposed delays?
Mr. Hall: “One was last Monday!”
Cher: “Mr. Hall, I was surfing the crimson wave. I had to bring a ** to the ladies.”
Cher referring to her period as the “crimson wave” is reason enough that this date deserves more love.
Other honorable mentions include Cher’s quote about finding love as a teenager. “Searching for a child in high school is as futile as searching for meaning in a Pauly Shore movie,” she says. Another is the reason why she and Dionne are friends. “She is my friend because we both know what it is for people to be jealous of us,” explains Cher in a voiceover.
Totally look Clueless on Netflix to see more quoteable lines from the movie.
