Shut Up Patti Lupone!

I was just curious as to why some people have this quote at the bottom of their posts:

"Shut up, Patti LuPone! Shut your brassy, beautiful trap! I don't want to hear you sing "Don't Cry For Me Argentina"! I don't want to cut your hair! And I *certainly* don't want to hear you sing while I cut your hair!"

I've seen at least 3 people with this quote. I have a feeling that it's not actually making fun of her and I think it's funny. But I'm just curious, where did it come from, who said it and why? I'm a huge fan of Patti Lupone so I just want to know if I'm missing anything.

It's from an episode of Will & Grace.

I, being a proud bearer of the quote, LOVE patti lupone and when I saw the will and grace episode where she sits right behind Jack at a restaurant when he is spending time with Will, I knew this quote needed a user to signify it :) It is to date my favorite episode because her appearance is just priceless about her thinking she is responsible for the whole east village and once Jack tells her off "They either love me or they hate me" and just goes back to eating. Hysterical show, you just had to see that one
edit; to go more into depth, jack makes wigs out of the broadway divas and had previously made a golden girls wig too. Apparently Rue McClanahan was a "screamer"

the "Jack makes a Broadway Diva Wig" episode... it's exact title, who knows... but that's the basic sub-plot.

It also features a fantastic cameo by Ms. Lupone herself

I don't know what it's called but in the episode Jack is putting together a wig of broadway divas' hair and the only hair he still needs is Patti Lupone's. Will is mad at Jack for never listening to him or something, so they go out to dinner and Jack promises to listen and not get distracted no matter what. Then Patti Lupone shows up at the restaurant and one of the waiters asks if she would sing and she says something like, "well let me just ask these men if that's alright" and she keeps trying to ask Jack if he doesn't mind her singing and he's trying really hard to ignore her and then he just snaps and says, "Shut Up Patti Lupone..."

Its a really funny episode..

Oh and of course the waiter raving over her saying that he saw her in Evita in hs and came out by intermission lmao. Oh and during the credits, she was at a piano singing "Dont cry for me Argentina" as jack went behind her with the scissors

"I'm sorry... My head was practically in your lap... So, did I get the part?"

So funny! Gotta love Patti!

This has to be one of the funniest shows recently. Jack telling Patti to "Shut Up" is hysterical.

Its my favorite episode....because of the whole "Patti" freakout. If someone could tell me how to post it here, I will. And actually, the quote is slightly wrong. Its really:

"Shut up, Patti LuPone! Shut your brassy, magnificant trap! I don't want to hear you sing, I don't want to cut your hair! And I *certainly* don't want to hear you sing while I cut your hair!"

I haven't watched Will & Grace in forever because it got a bit boring to me and I am not the biggest LuPone fan....that clip was a riot and I just saw her in Sweeney and she rocked! I guess I am a changed man!

Hee hee! I rarely watch Will and Grace and one night was bored and tuned in. The episode I saw happened to be this one! I laughed so hard!! It was great!

Love this episode. THis was my favorite episoe last year, second only to the episode where Chita Rivera and Michele Lee play lesbian lovers.

My 2nd favorite quote from that episode:
"Now I have hair from Bernadette Peters, Betty Buckey, and Idina Menzel. All I need is Patti LuPone, and my broadway diva wig will be complete!!" :)

So, I watched this clip with what I thought was my headphones in. Then, towards the end of the clip, I noticed that I had put my headphones in the wrong hole. Now, my whole office knows that I adore Patti Lupone and Will and Grace. They also know I am not doing any work. How fun!

Bobby, the word "lesbian" in that statement is redundant.
