10 most ridiculous quotes from Fox’s ‘I Wanna Marry Harry’

There has to be a special section of hell reserved for the people behind “I Wanna Marry ‘Harry’ ” (9 p.m. Tuesday, KVVU-TV, Channel 5).

The latest series from the Fox Reality Department, Schadenfreude Division, follows in the footsteps of the network’s “Joe Millionaire” by tricking 12 extremely gullible American women into thinking they’re dating Prince Harry.

The results are hilariously evil.

Of all the people on the planet who would need to rely on a reality show to find a woman, especially one of these loud American women with their hoochie-mama short-shorts, it would be the man fourth in line for the British throne.

To the show’s credit, no one involved ever tells the women that the bachelor they’re chasing all over the grounds of a British castle is the Prince of Wales. Even the “butler” only refers to him as “Sir.”

The producers just do everything in their power to make them think that’s the case, down to grooming Harry lookalike Matthew Hicks with lessons in etiquette, skeet shooting and polo.

Hicks is so far from royalty, he can’t afford a car to get to his day job, so he rides a bike. A BORROWED bike.

A couple of the women have confidence issues, and a few clearly have not been treated well by men. So their inclusion feels particularly mean spirited.

The rest, though, WOW do they make for a guilty pleasure.

Here’s a look at 10 of the most ridiculous quotes from the women of “I Wanna Marry ‘Harry,’ ” at least a third of whom refer to themselves as intelligent:

1) “I have a feeling he’s British,” one of them says, while standing in what she believes is his castle. In England.

2) “If this is his place, he must be, like, a big shot.” Again, this is said while standing inside a castle.

3) “How old are you?” one contestant asks another. “Umm, I’m 25.” “Oh, good! We have another oldie!”

4) “My name’s Chelsea. I’m a little off my rocker. You know. But it’s fine.”

5) “I’m a preschool teacher and kind of a naughty one. Like, I dress all cute at school, but come home with me and see what I was wearing underneath.”

6) “My occupation is Miss Los Angeles.”

7) After the first night’s agenda is explained, one of the girls tries her best to recap it for viewers: “Tonight’s, like, a big night. We’re gonna have an elimination, and there’s gonna be a girl to go to the Crown Suite, on top of a masquerade ball. I don’t know what any of those things mean.”

8) “I’m watching girls use bronzer on their chests to make their cleavage bigger. I’m not even sure what bronzer is exactly.”

9) “I hope I really don’t sound ignorant, but I don’t know what Prince Harry looks like.”

10) Upon seeing his “security detail,” one of the women becomes convinced he really is Prince Harry. “Like, who else has secret service? The queen? The president? Michael Jackson? And I don’t think he’s any one of those.”
