Too right. Robocop. That scene with the cop shot to pieces and the game show playing in the background was a shiver down the spine job.
Such a shame they retrospectively fucked it up by producing appalling sequels :P |

Airplane is a big source for me.
It's amazing how often people hand you the straight line you need. "Yes, I am serious, but stop calling me Shirley." When I hand over the HIPPA notice to more with-it clients, they get told they can make a hat, a brooch, or a pterodactyl out of it. I am a big fan of Star Trek (TOS), so "Logic is a little bird, tweeting in a meadow" gets heard in the office fairly often. South Park is good ... Shennanigans, I'm not fat, I'm festively plump, respect my author-i-tay, Drugs are Bad mmmkay.

Remember, there is no shortage of meathooks on which to hang the bodies of our enemies. - Paraphrased from "Conspiracy"

Just found this one on youtube.
I had it on (audio) tape. Listened to it until the tape warped. Ones I still use occasionally: "The electric telephone" "What-so-ev-er" in that accent "Stiff as a board and bright green" - you'd be surprised how often that comes up! ".. and beginning to sme-ell" "Or at least it would be, if it were true" although I admit I've paraphrased it over the years, not having access to the source. I tend to say... "well... if it was true!" As usual for me, it's all about intonation and accent. Some of them I'd forgotten where they came from. |

What I would really love to do is quote a monologue/ duologue on here and have it read on youtube by person/ people who have never heard it before. Not to make fun of them, and specifically not to recreate the original. Just to get another take on something I am really familiar with.
