Gina Linetti.

Two words that conjure up so much more than just a mental image. Just saying it aloud is enough to summon yourself an attitude of complete self-assurance, along with a totally unique sense of style. Gina is a trendsetter, and her ability to influence others is a recurring joke throughout the show.

When Gina begins building her online following – the G-Hive – she starts continually pranking her co-workers. Almost all of these pranks revolve around tricking people into drinking cement, prompting her to exclaim: “You just drank cement!” If you've seen it, you shouldn't be able to read those words in any voice but Gina's.

Tricking someone into drinking something other than what they thought it was (hopefully not actual cement, but you do you) must then be followed by Gina's single-episode catchphrase. It might lead to added confusion, but if you're pranking someone, you probably aren't too worried about it.
