'The Walking Dead' apocalypse quips: Abraham's best lines

To celebrate the Oct. 22 Season 8 premiere of The Walking Dead — the series’ 100th episode — Yahoo Entertainment will be posting a new TWD-related story every day through the season opener.

One of the things we needed most in Season 7 of The Walking Dead wasn’t just the fierce, fightin’ presence of Abraham Ford, but what we know would certainly have been some colorful commentary on the antics of Negan, Simon, and the rest of the Saviors. No other character in the show’s history could so pithily sum up what everyone was thinking like Abraham, and it’s impossible to imagine now that anyone but Michael Cudlitz could have so craftily, cheekily, and sincerely delivered those Abrahamisms. Here, a collection of our favorite verbal moments with the character we’ll miss until TWD end times.

The Walking Dead Season 8 premieres Oct. 22 at 9 p.m. on AMC.
