The funniest zingers from Sunday's Emmy Awards, hosted by Andy Samberg:
"I have to say, I'm so honored to join the proud ranks of past Emmy hosts. Incredible legendary people like Robert Blake and Bill Cosby? Oh no, I gotta get out of here. But seriously, between Bill Cosby, Jared Fogle and Robert Durst stealing that sandwich, not a good year for dudes who love hoagies." — Samberg, at the start of his Emmys monologue.
"Instead of being played off by the orchestra, you're going to have to deal with the mean nun from Game of Thrones." "Shame! Shame! Shame!" — Samberg, joined by Jane Lynch as a nun from Cersei's (Lena Headey) walk-of-shame Thrones episode.
"Paula Deen is on this season of Dancing with the Stars. But I gotta say — if I wanted to see an intolerant lady dance, I would've gone to one of Kim Davis' four weddings. It's weird that she came out of jail to Eye of the Tiger, considering how many men have boned to that song." — Samberg, on the Kentucky clerk of court who went to jail for opposing gay marriage.
"We said goodbye to Mad Men and Parks and Recreation . We also said goodbye to True Detective, even though it's still on the air." — Samberg, on the HBO drama's poorly received second season.
"My friend, Jon Hamm, is nominated for Mad Men for the last time. But don't worry, after the success of Better Call Saul, I'm sure Jon will be nominated for the Mad Men prequel, Dick Whitman: Horny Hobo." — Samberg, on Hamm's Emmys losing streak for leading actor in a drama.
"And let's not forget what tonight is really about: Celebrating hilarious women and letting the Internet weigh in on who looks the worst." — Amy Schumer, presenting the supporting actress in comedy award with Amy Poehler.
"Here's my impression of the last season of Girls." — Samberg, parodying the HBO comedy's butt-motorboating scene, but with a giant Emmy statuette.
"To quote our political satire, Veep: 'What a great honor it must be for you to honor me tonight.' Oh no, Donald Trump said that, I'm sorry." Julia Louis-Dreyfus, accepting her fourth consecutive award for leading actress in a comedy for Veep.
"I have to admit, I haven't seen Olive Kitteridge — I've only seen half of Kitteridge." — Samberg, jesting about the multi-Emmy-winning miniseries.
"Every show will go off the air eventually, with the exception of Jeopardy and I'll tell you why. The sun could burn out, humanity could flee to another galaxy, time as we know it could cease to exist, but Alex Trebek will still be there scolding librarians from Ames, Iowa, to answer in the form of a question and passively aggressively insulting their hobbies." — John Oliver, presenting the award for directing for a limited series/movie.
"She's a nice lady who's good at playing piano." — Samberg, introducing Lady Gaga.
"Happy birthday, George, and thanks for telling me during the commercial that Jon Snow is alive." — Samberg, wishing a happy birthday to Game of Thrones creator George R. R. Martin.
"She plays a gynecologist on TV and he considers himself an amateur one." — Samberg, introducing presenters Mindy Kaling and Zachary Levi.
"Thanks to the girl who gave me this sort of smoky eye. I really love it." — Schumer, accepting the award for outstanding variety sketch series for Inside Amy Schumer.
"A serial killer with a mean streak. An FBI agent to the stars. A Philadelphia cop just 20 seconds away from retirement. A baby who made a wish to be an alcoholic president. And a very tiny scientist. These are just some of the characters that I made up backstage." — Tina Fey, presenting the award for leading actor in a drama series.
"I was pulling for Chandler." — Samberg, after Jon Hamm's acting win for Mad Men, beating out Bloodline's Kyle Chandler.
"Only recently I've started to feel like myself again, which means a whole lot of young women are going to be pregnant at the after-party." — Tracy Morgan, presenting the award for best drama series.
