Jack Abbott's Best Lines on The Young and the Restless

The Young and the Restless writers must have such fun when they write the script for certain characters. This list celebrates some of the best one-liners that have made us gasp or laugh out loud.

This is the first of several lists like this, as several characters simply give us that good old belly laugh when they, with perfect comedic timing, deliver just the right line at just the right time.

Witty Jack Abbott on The Young and the Restless

Upon hearing Ashley had gotten pregnant with Victor, Jack let this out: “Our sister is growing a little mustache.”

Jack to Gloria: “You can shout from the rooftops, and no one will be interested in the rantings of a social-climbing Black Widow.”

Jack to Sharon when she tried to stop him and Nick from getting into it: “No, let the Boy Scout speak. Go ahead and get out your moral compass, you know, the one that hasn't seen the light of day in over two years.”

One day, Jill was whining, and Jack turned to her and said, “You know, Jill, if whining and complaining were an Olympic sport, you’d already have several gold medals.”

The Young and the Restless: Jack roasts everyone

Brad Carlton had died saving Noah Newman from a frozen lake. At the memorial, Jack referred to him as a “Bradsicle.”

Jack and Sharon were discussing Victor's disappearance. Jack: “He’s disappeared.” Sharon “What? He’s disappeared like you think something bad has happened to him?” Jack “The moustache? I doubt it. You could drop a nuclear bomb on Genoa City; only Victor and the cockroaches would survive.”

Jack about Gloria: “You should hire a food tester. You never know when the Black Widow will strike again.”

Jack is having a conversation with Emily Peterson when Billy enters the room. After the conversation, Billy leaves, and Jack quips, “Don't let us keep you. I'm sure you have other backs to stab.”

Jack’s Guide to life

Jack to Phyllis: “What is your problem? Are you allergic to success?”

Victoria said in the Abbott living room, “Michael, what are you doing here?” Michael: “Oh, Jack didn't tell you?” Victoria: “Tell me what?” Michael “Well, see, my Mother came to town and married Jack's father, so we’s kin now.” Jack Abbott: “Please, I just ate.”

Jack to Victor: “You want a chair? Here, have a seat on me,” as he throws Victor's chair out of the window.

Ashley announced her engagement to Blade, and Jack roasted him with, “I don't know what to think about having a brother-in-law named after a kitchen utensil.”
