The loss of characters is unfortunately a common theme on Grey’s Anatomy and, while fans are grateful Cristina Yang didn’t die, there is very obviously something missing from the show without her. Grey’s is dramatic, heavy and emotional but luckily for ten seasons we were provided with the comedic relief of Cristina Yang. Yang wasn’t obviously funny; her sarcasm, dry-wit and brutal honesty is what made her a favorite character on the show, even over McDreamy and Meredith Grey. Whether she was only stating the obvious because it needed to be said, making dark humor in a dark situation, her simple reaction or just the sass and way in which she said things, she had fans loving her and easing through the show’s hardest moments or worst storylines a little better, and made the good moments that much better! Here are Cristina Yang’s 10 funniest moments.
10. On Being Pretty
Cristina: You are eight feet tall. Your boobs are perfect. Your hair is down to there. If I was you I would just walk around naked all the time. I wouldn’t have a job, I wouldn’t have any skills, I wouldn’t even know how to read. I would just be… naked.
Izzie: It’s makeup. It’s retouching.
Cristina: You get that we hate you, right?
