That '70s Show Quotes

Context

This line was spoken by Kelso (played by Ashton Kutcher) in various episodes of That '70s Show (1998-2006).

That '70s Show brought the cars, slang, and even the drugs of the '70s to the 21st century, while still giving us plenty relatable family and relationship drama.

One of the most memorable characters of That '70s Show was Michael Kelso, the dumb pretty boy of the group, and played by Ashton Kutcher. Yeah, his storylines got pretty dark by the end of the series, but we'll mostly remember him for his "burns" and that one time he fixed Eric's Pong machine. Ancient video game consoles are a sturdy bunch.

In the season 3 episode "Dine and Dash," Kelso explains his philosophy behind burns, which is, in his words, "You didn't see it coming, and part of it really hurt." Kelso lays down many great burns throughout the series, occasionally punctuating them with sound effects and props, like a toy shotgun.
