What are the pop-culture quotes you find useful in day to day life? Pretty sure most of mine are from The Simpsons:

"Abortions for some, miniature American flags for everyone!"

"Boo-urns"

"Me fail english? That's unpossible!"

"Everything's coming up Milhouse!"


although several others come from shows like Frisky Dingo ("Boosh! and or Kakow"), AD ("...her?"), News Radio ("This one I like; I keep") or The Critic ("BUY MY BOOK! BUY MY BOOK!")

I don't think I'm aware of myself doing it enough to pick them out. My wife and I tend to slide into quoting whatever we've been watching recently. Like last month (before the NBC freeze) we were quoting lots of Community. Now we're not... because it's VANISHED.

"INCONCEIVABLE!"

also, a few for literary measure: "Curioser and curioser" and "So it goes."

Also, for Jurassic Park measure: "Hold onto your butts."

That jogged my memory. I quote "Clever girl" a bit from Jurassic Park.

"Have fun storming the castle!"
"I can taste my spleen..."
Probably many others, but those are two I actually have to choose to say - they aren't used often. Most other quotes are simply integrated into my speech patterns...

This and "I don't think it means what you think it means." for me. Other than that, not a whole lot. Maybe I should find some others.

Sooooo many Futurama quotes...

"Bender's a genius!"

"He's TOO grumpy!"

Plus many of the quotes already listed above.

"You're gonna (insert something someone's doing to me) to the guy with the $3,000 suit? COME ON" - this is usually said while I'm in some shitty hoodie

"Run you pigeons, it's Robert Frost!"

"How's THAT for non-stick?" (from an ancient informercial for non-stick cookware)

"Were you 'helping?'" (lifted from an episode of ReBoot)

"...and we're back." (not lifted from anywhere in particular, just that thing I say when I have to leave for a moment and then return)

"It's/He's just talking to his trebuchet again." (Watch a recorded game of AoEII from the CPU's perspective and you'll see what I mean)

Whenever I hand my brother something, I say 'here you go Nelson!' like that scene in The Simpsons where Martin kept giving Nelson a birthday invite and Nelson kept saying 'pah' and pushing it to the ground, only for Martin to pick it up again and say 'Here you go Nelson!' again. I have no idea at all why I do this. My brother isn't named Nelson and he doesn't often brush things I give him on the floor, but this is the only one that I've noticed to be done without me consciously thinking that I should quote something.

When talking with friends about a woman they are interested in and discussion goes to the vagina I've been able to pull "I thought they smelled bad. . . on the outside" on several occasions. I use Pee Wee Herman's rebel speech quite often. "I'm a loner, Dottie." Of course, most of the women I use that on (not to pick up I'm married) have never seen the movie and have no idea what I'm talking about.

This doesn't really work for me, since nowadays I have few chances to actually talk to people in English - and there aren't that many quotable lines from Finnish films. Well, perhaps these:

"Oh Thursday!" ("Voihan torstai!") - a curse often uttered by Capt. Pirk from Star Wreck: In the Pirkinning.

"Have a peaceful Christmas --- and a fucking Happy New Year." ("Rauhallista joulua --- ja aivan vitun railakasta uutta vuotta") - from Rare Exports.

"Cause of death: shock from pain. Caused by traditional whoopass."
("Kuolinsyy: kivun aiheuttama shokki. Syynä perinteinen selkäsauna")
"Rightfully given. And thoroughly."
("Aiheesta annettu. Ja huolella.")
- from Rare Exports: The Official Safety Instructions

"Alrighty then." - Ace Ventura: Pet Detective.

"Nothing, nothing.... tra la la"- Jereth from Labyrinth

That's the only one I can think of that I actually say.

"I dunno... Coast Guard?"

"I'm wearing sneakers... for sneaking."

"Weaseling out of things is what separates us from the animals - except the weasel".

"OOOWWWWriiiighhhttttt"

also, "IGNORE ME!"

Endless simpsons quotes (in spanish from spain)

¿Que no, Lisa? ¿Que nooo?



Pokémon? Pokéemon? Pogüé no etc. etc.



Nucelar. La palabra es Nucelar.



¿Implicito, Lisa? ¿O Olícito?



La caja! La caja!



A lot from this one:

Eso es bueno / eso es malo

¿La policía sabía que los de asuntos internos les tendían una trampa?

Batman es un científico!
Que no es batman!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wYyMQDdVHXQ&feature=related

very true. Whenever I have a choice of whether to take something or the box, I always go, "LA CAJA LA CAJA!"

"Don't call me Surely"

"Could be worse" ... "Could be raining." It actually started to rain when I said that once.

Malcolm Tucker is a wellspring of quips, mostly insults. "Do you know 90% of household dust is dead human flesh? That's what you are to me."

"Clever girl"
"I'm going to allow this."
"Fixitfixitfixitfixit"
"Fine, I'll build my own ________. With black jack, and hookers! In fact, forget the ______ and the black jack!"

Man, I am having trouble thinking of more, even though pop culture quotes are like 60% of my lexicon.

The Simpsons is perhaps the most quotable thing to have ever existed.

Lately my husband and i have been quietly slipping the word "Fool" into our sentences. It's a reference to anime Soul Eater. There's a character who says it atthe most random times.

We also try to 'meow' our friends ala Super Troopers.

It seems that sometimes we communicate in solely internet memes and movie/TV quotes.

From the new Sherlock series, I've been derisively adding "Obviously," to various statements.

Arrested Development is very quotable, especially, "I've made a huge mistake."

Also nearly half of In The Loop.

Have you watched The Thick of It? It's three seasons (and two specials) of that brilliance! I've been waiting over two years for the new season to start... I believe it comes back this summer.

"Why don't you go suck a fuck?" from Donnie Darko. Unfortunately my wife and I can only use it around each other.

"Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn." - Gone with the Wind

"You can't handle the truth!" - A Few Good Men

These happen mostly with my friends, but occasionally I will pull them out for other reasons, then have to explain...

YOU'RE STUCK HERE!!

Watch out for snakes!

Know him? He was delicious!
