Summary
Trevor Philips is one of the most memorable video game characters in years. Known primarily for his viciously hot temper, brutal violence, and penchant for saying anything that pops into his head, he is everyGrand Theft Autoplayer brought to life inside the game itself. As such, he has a myriad of amazing quotes, many of which are equally insulting, offensive, and hilarious. Unfortunately, it’s hard to pick just a few of them, because everything that comes out of his mouth is both purely horrifying and pure gold.
Grand Theft Auto 5is a game with stellar writing across the board, and the best way to experience this humorous writing firsthand is to spend some time with Trevor. This character is truly one-of-a-kind, being horrible to everyone around him. However, the sheer creativity of his insults is what makes Trevor such an incredible character in every way. There are so many endlessly quotable things he’s uttered in the games that are so hilarious that fans still can’t stop laughing to this day whenever he spouts these lines.
Updated June 21, 2025, by Ritwik Mitra:Grand Theft Auto 5needs no introduction. This title shows off Rockstar’s technical achievements as they breathe new life into one of the most detailed and engaging open-world games ever made. The sheer amount of love and effort packed into this title is clear for everyone to see, and every one of the three protagonists is a joy to control. However, most players have a soft spot for Trevor Philips, a character who embodies the chaos of the GTA series. It helps that some ofTrevor’s best quotes in GTA 5are endlessly memorable.
25"You Keep This Up, You’re Not Gonna Get There At All."
Annoyed With Wade’s Actions
Trevor may be a hilarious character, but it’s the people around him that help hhim stand out as one of the best protagonists in theGrand Theft Autoseries. One such character is Wade Hebert, a man who plays an important role in Trevor’s history. Wade helps Trevor settle in the city of Los Santos, when the maniac learns that Michael was alive all along.
These characters bounce off each other with hilarious results, especially during a moment when Wade is unable to control his enthusiasm when he and Trevor are heading to a certain location. Wade’s incessant questions get on Trevor’s nerves, who hits back with a veiled insult that is perfectly in line with his character.
24"AAARGH, This Music’s All Wrong!"
When Listening To A Music Station He Doesn’t Like
A big part of what makes Trevor so unpredictable is that even the player doesn’t have complete control over his actions. The fact that the player can switch over to him, only to get caught in a myriad of situations, shows just how wild he is. He can get so cynical about everything that eventhe music blaring in a carcan rub him the wrong way.
He utters this line in a completely unexpected yet memorable instance before switching the music to something else of his own accord. It’s one of the many ways in which this character shows how unpredictable this man is, making the simple act of switching over to his character so iconic that it’s one of the highlights of the games.
23"All! Of! You! Are! Going! To! Die!"
A Chilling Threat To The O’Neil Brothers Moments Before Trevor Kills Them All
Trevor is unhinged, and hates it when someone tries to cross him. This is established from the moment players get to control his character, witnessing him in a profit-making venture revolving around drugs. When the O’Neil brothers taunt him and threaten to take over this business, Trevor wastes no time in taking revenge.
After yelling a threat that is equal parts chilling and hilarious, Trevor heads over to the O’Neil Ranch and kills most of them, blowing up the underground meth lab they’d set up. It’s a great mission that hammers in how much of a loose cannon Trevor is, making it clear why Michael wanted to get far away from his partner in the hopes of leading a normal life.
22"I Abhor Hipsters. I Eat Them For Fun!"
A Hilarious Line Spoken During An Argument With Michael
What makes Michael and Trevor’s relationship click is that the former knows the best way to deal with Trevor’s chaotic personality. He knows where to push his partner’s buttons without losing his life. Players can see one such example in a hilarious argument where Michael outright calls Trevor an evolved proto-hipster who has become the very thing he’d hated.
Although Trevor appeals that he hates hipsters, phrasing his protests in a hilariously creative manner, that doesn’t stop Michael from getting the upper hand in this argument. Interactions like this one help the protagonists of this tale stand out as some of the most memorable playable characters in the history of theGrand Theft Autoseries.
21"Hey, Whose D*** You Have To Suck To Get This Job?"
One Of His Many Iconic Insults To Floyd
As crazy as Trevor is, no one can delude themselves into thinking that he’s a nice person by any stretch of the imagination. A man like Michael was so fed up with his antics that he had to fake his death to get away from a man who was too much of a loose cannon.
Trevor doesn’t shy away from harassing and abusing the people close to him, including his cousin. Floyd is a pitiable character who begrudgingly helps Trevor after the maniac goes to Los Santos in a bid to find Michael. Trevor berates this man every step of the way, questioning his capability and hilariously wondering out loud if Floyd had to resort to some unscrupulous means to secure his gig.
20"Now Mr. Raspberry Jam, He Died A Noble Death — Bringing Great Joy To A… Lonely Man."
Talking About A Teddy Bear That He’s Done Some Horrible Things To
Trevor is trulyone of the craziest characters in the entire game. He’s pretty disturbing as well, although that’s part of the reason why this character is so memorable. The fact that he defiled a teddy bear and talks about it in such a creepy manner is classic Trevor and one of the major reasons why he’s such a standout character in the game
Poor Mr. Raspberry Jam has seen better days and the fact that this ripped-up teddy bear comes attached to the bonnet of Trevor’s car after certain story events make this toy’s fate quite morbidly hilarious indeed. It’s a testament to how entertaining his dialogue is that Trevor still ends up being so likable after performing such a heinous act!
19"Ahh… My Tax Dollars Hard At Work."
After Attracting The Attention Of The Cops
The cops inGrand Theft Auto 5are some of the smartest and most savage cops that have ever appeared in the entire series. They never fail to let the player know that things are about to get haywire and they need to either escape the heat or roll with the punches and push this system to the very limit.
Whenever Trevor gets the cops' attention, there’s a chance that he might utter this hilarious line. It’s pretty funny indeed and a great way to show just how much disregard Trevor has for the men in blue. For what it’s worth, this sentiment is echoed by the players as well, who love to lead cops on wild goose chases inGrand Theft Auto 5.
18"You Have Clearly Lost Your Tiny Mind!"
If Either Frankin Or Trevor Tries To Harm Trevor
Grand Theft Auto 5has some pretty unique interactions that people could miss out on if they don’t engage in some extremely aggressive acts against their friends. Most people know about the phone calls that the other two characters get if they start shooting up orbombing Michael’s house, but this behavior has been coded for other characters as well.
For example, if either Micheal or Franklin starts shooting at Trevor, the madman outright belittles their tiny mind. It’s a small but great touch that makes the universe and characters ofGrand Theft Auto 5feel all the more believable and immersive. It also makes for a great moment as fans get to explore more of the impeccable dialogue that Rockstar has written for Trevor.
17"Weed. Weed. I’d Rather Suck C*** Than Smoke Weed, And I’ve Done Both."
A Hilarious Line Uttered By Trevor While Denouncing Marijuana
Surprisingly, Trevor of all people holds such a strong opinion about marijuana. After all, it’s not a stretch to say that he’s done every drug ever made under the setting sun, so to see him up in arms over a little pot is pretty odd.
It’s also hilarious, especially when players hear the colorful language he uses to describe the hatred he harbors for the greens. Steven Ogg did an excellent job of portraying Trevor, and this iconic line is one of the many examples to prove just how talented a voice actor he is.
16"I’m Beyond KALE, Alright? It’s Too Late For KALE!"
While Talking To Amanda
Trevor is a man of certain tastes, as he made abundantly clear to Michael during their first reunion after the surprised family man suggested kale as the answer to Trevor’s problems. That just wasn’t going to cut it. Trevor said as much, further revealing his tastes tended to lean towards “crank, cannibalism, and incest.”
He was way past kale doing him any good, which is fairly obvious by his listed choice of illegal and disturbing vices that only scratch the surface of Trevor’s unique depravities. How this dialogue is phrased is very much classic Trevor and shows just how little he cares about the opinions of others.
