Crossing the entertainmental divide...

What lines from movies or tv shows do you use in every day speak?

I use "wish granted" from the movie Ice Age, where Manny foots Sid up the arse and grants his wish to jump like Diego the sabertooth tiger.

When someone asks how to spell something, the reply is usually...."T...H....phlegm....". Taken from Achmed the Dead Terrorist.

Most of mine come from TV comedy I have on dvd, as I don't often rewatch films. I have a very small film collection!

It's often intonation rather than a quotable line, so mostly they are for my own benefit. In fact sometimes I mutter them under my breath and snicker to myself.

Examples:
I'm getting a little tired of this (Ghostbusters)
Because... we're not at home to Mr Cock Up (Blackadder II)
And the front door is open... again! (Shaun of the Dead)
No! (the specific way Martin Freeman says it at the beginning of Hot Fuzz)

I think the oddest film one I use is an action rather than a line. If I'm ever drinking a shot, or even something else I finish off in one swallow I have to bang the glass on the table twice a la From Dusk til Dawn.

Relating every conversation to something based on an unnatural knowledge of Simpsons, Family Guy, Mr. Show, The Onion... or (and this isn't entertainment except to me) "I read an article about this in Scientific American..."

Far too many. And cellar phrases too. Some of them I haven't even seen the movies, I just acquired them from beest. Some I used for years before even knew they were movie quotes.

I say "I say we nuke the site form orbit, it's the only way to be sure" way too often for common decency. (yeah, I know it's missing a bit) I narrowly avoided telling my kids to hurry up because I had to pee like a racist the other day....

Sundae · 06-03-2008, 12:53 PM

Arg. Just remembered all the Cellar phrases and internet memes.
And no-one I know uses the internet the same way I do, sp I end up just sharing them with Diz.

He's pretty much au fait with LOLcat speak now.

Sometimes I say 'excellent' like Mr Burns. Everyone around here says 'Doh' like Homer. Actually, my youngest son does the excellent thing and puts his fingertips together while he's at it. It makes me laugh.

Another one is 'go ahead, make my day' if one of my family (usually the kids) are about to do something that'll really piss me off. I don't think they get it, but Dazza does and he usually laughs.

I think there's probably heaps more, but I can't think of them right now.

I also say "D'oh" a la Homer Simpson. (EDIT: Ha, Ha I wrote that before reading Ali's reply)

plus many many more

Sundae · 06-03-2008, 08:50 PM

I add (iconic phrasing that means nothing to most people), "He's only got one arm!"
Mr Cockup phrase later in the same scene of course.

The episode/ series was replete with lines.

monster · 06-03-2008, 08:52 PM

Oh yeah, Who's Queen ....alll the time. Goes down so well over here, too....

monster · 06-03-2008, 08:57 PM

Oh dear, I really do have a beard thing ....I was just starting to think how sexy Rowan Atkinson was in that clip.... I need a lie down.....

Sundae · 06-03-2008, 09:10 PM

Oh babba I fancied the leather pants off him at the time!
Then again I was 14

I have to include The League of Gentlemen. Of course. Please watch it if you have a chance.

monster · 06-03-2008, 10:27 PM

Oh now you got me started, but most of the ones we regularly use are from Brit TV comedies.

Smoke me a kipper....
Woof!.....
