I jest, of course.
Jack!
I have many, many moments and lines from Jack that I love. Many. But I shall restrain myself, and just give you...
Three firsts:
First season. The Enemy Within, Kawalsky awaiting surgery, and Jack's usual method of coping:
Jack: Listen, I gotta ask you something. It's not easy for me.
Kawalsky: We're friends.
Jack: If you don't make it….. can I have your stereo?
(Ah, Charlie – you know he means "You're my friend and I care about you and don't die and don't worry it'll all be fine, I promise!" It just comes out a bit… wrong.)
---
First season I bought – season 4 (predisposed towards being a Sam/Jack shipper? Moi?). Beneath The Surface, and even with a mindstamp, Jack is essentially… Jack:
Jack/Jonah: My memory’s fine!
Daniel/Carlin: Really?
Jack/Jonah: Yeah!
Daniel/Carlin: What did you do in the mines?
Jack/Jonah: I mined.
Daniel/Carlin: No…what did you do?
Jack/Jonah: I remember shovelling ore into a cart.
Daniel/Carlin: And?
Jack/Jonah: I did that a lot.
(It's the way he says "I mined" that I love most about that. I suspect if they pushed him some more, he might recall pointy hats and the hiho song. Or would he remember the mines from Need, and the days - weeks? - they spent down there?)
---
First episode I watched – Full Alert (yes, an ass-backwards one to start on – it was showing on TV), and Jack finally has the upper hand in dealing with Kinsey:
Kinsey: Who are you calling?
Jack: Local sheriff’s a friend of mine.
Kinsey: I may be disgraced, but I’m not wanted for any crimes.
Jack: Breaking and entering?
Kinsey: Jack ...
Jack: Shh. It’s ringing.
(And then Kinsey pulls the cord out the wall, and Jack pauses for a moment – then takes out his mobile and begins dialling again. Hee! So, so deliberately, gleefully annoying. He's wanted to be like this towards Kinsey for years.)

And one of my favourite moments, in animated pic form.
This week, my darlings, I need Jack to brighten my life. So spam me!
Season 10 spoilers may be in comments. No need to worry about Ark Of Truth spoilers, though. :)
*sits back to see if the record of 99 comments to the Daniel Quotes post - so far the highest number of comments I've had to a post on here - will be surpassed*

Teal'c: I have read of a place where humans do combat in a ring of Jell-O.
[tosses Teal'c a cell phone as they head to the truck] Jack O'Neill: Call Daniel.
Jack O'Neill: I'd like to apologize in advance for anything that I may say or do that could be construed as offensive as I slowly go NUTS.
Bra'tac: You are indeed a wise and gracious leader, O'Neill of Minnesota.
Jack O'Neill: Sit down you old coot.
((I love how in the later seasons he just totally identifies himself with Minnesota than Chicago, where he's actually supposed to be from!))
Aaaaaaaand from Crystal Skull, one of my top Jack O'Neill quote EVER...
Jack O'Neill: Hey, if you'd been listening you'd know that Nintendos pass through everything.
Daniel: I heard.
Jack O'Neill: Everything.
Favorite Jack moments include when he's oxygen deprived in Season 4's Tangent and he wakes up Teal'c by throwing a pen at his head, as well as the entire ping pong game with Teal'c in Season 8's Sacrifices where his manhood is repeatedly nearly compromised by aforementioned angry Jaffa (and then at the end after Teal'c leaves he sneaks in that one hit so he can at least get one point).
That pingpoing game is so adorable - with Jack trying to cheat by 'forgetting' that Teal'c's scored a whole lot more points. Like Teal'c is ever - even when highly pissed off - going to fall for that one.
I sort of wanted to quote the bit from Tangent where he's sending what may be his last message from the ship, when Teal'c's in his kel'no'reem - the whole "send Aspirin" bit - but it wasn't so much the words, as the atmosphere. Lonely, brave, lost... Aww...

I always put that down to adrenalin. He gets his brain cells together just long enough for one final burst. Because, yeah - the oxygen situation certainly isn't going to have improved.
