If you're the perpetual singleton in your friend group (no shame), you may relate to Penny in ABC's gone-but-not-forgotten gem Happy Endings. Penny is that one friend who offers quick advice on the ups and downs of relationships, despite never being in one for too long. Over the course of the sitcom's run, she gives us the most iconic moments and one-liners of all the characters — and that's saying a lot, because Max, Jane, Brad, Dave, and Alex are pretty extra. In honor of this impeccable character and the recent Happy Endings reunion, here are some of Penny's greatest moments.
