These 'Lizzie McGuire' Quotes Are 2000-And-Great

Miss the Limited Too fever dream that was the early '00s? Have I got a solution for you! Now, I can't help you travel back in time, but I can recommend a television program: Look no further than Lizzie McGuire. From 2001 to 2004, the Disney Channel original series gifted its audience with gorgeous early aughts fashion (the printed flared pants! The rhinestone-covered tank tops! The three-bun half-up, half-down confection of a hairdo!), and it also gifted its audience with A+ early aughts pop culture jokes. Over the course of two seasons and a movie, the characters on Lizzie McGuire said some wonderfully ‘00s one-liners. And I've selected some of my favorites.

The Lizzie McGuire quotes below allude to something or someone that entered the zeitgeist in the late ‘90s and early ‘00s. Some have remained in the zeitgeist, some have faded away, all had A Moment around the turn of the millennium, and all were namechecked by Lizzie McGuire.

Ready to revisit some of the '90s/'00s zingers uttered by Lizzie, Miranda, Gordo, Matt, and a few other Lizzie McGuire characters? Crack open a bottled frappuccino, throw some butterfly clips in your hair, and get ready to jump into Lake Nostalgia.
