Celebrate the return of ‘Clone High’ with JFK’s most iconic quotes
Beloved cult series Clone High has officially been given a reboot over at HBO Max. For those who don’t know, this 13-episode series that ran from 2002-2003 follows the teenage clones of various historical figures in high school dealing with modern-day issues while trying to live up to their “clone-fathers” and “clone-mothers” legacies. The show was made to parody such teen dramas at the time, such as Dawson’s Creek.
Clone High, which was created by Chris Miller & Phil Lord, featured the clones of Abraham Lincoln, Joan of Arc, Gandhi, Cleopatra, and JFK, who all fall into various stereotypes. From awkward nerd Lincoln to popular d-bag JFK, Clone High getting that reboot is going to be great. While there were a lot of excellent quotes from the show over its brief run, JFK got some of the best lines.
So let’s take a moment to relive them.
