TV Quotes in Everyday Life

[slashgirl]

Question: which TV quotes do you love so much, you use them in real life? For example, whenever I hear someone whining, I think to myself, "Embrace the pain, spank your inner moppet, whatever," which is what Cordy told Buffy in the "When She was Bad" ep of Buffy, the Vampire Slayer.

Post your favorite TV quotes you use in real life here.

A lot of mornings, I find myself saying

"It's going to be an unbearable day"

^tm Donna on the West Wing

[grownup]

"That's 20 seconds of my life I'll never get back." -Toby, West Wing

I have used that one almost daily in my professional life.



"It could be.. mathier." -Buffy

I fully intend to use this the next time someone brings up Numb3rs in casual conversation.

"Lovely Stuff"
"Watch It"
"Its funnier than rain"

and a million other quotes from the greatest comedy invention ever Alan Partridge. I can't help myself but I quote him more than I should.

Also from Buffy, I'm fond of "This makes the kind of sense that's not" or "Your logic does not resemble our earth logic."

Paraphrasing from Friends, between Joey and Chandler (if anyone has the exact quote, I would be eternally grateful):

"Soap is dirty."
"Oh, yeah? How do you figure?"
"Well, think about the first thing you wash when you get into the shower. Ok, now think about the last thing I washed when I was in the shower."

I find myself saying yada, yada, yada, quite a bit. Don't know whether I did that before the Seinfeld episode or not.

Whenever anyone asks me to do anything around the house, my most frequent response is, al la Basil Fawlty, to snarkily quip "Anything else? Would you like the house moved a little to the left?"

I say "exxxcellent" a la Montgomery Burns so much that I've pretty much forgotten that I'm quoting.

I've also picked up "going commando" (the phrase--the habit is none of your business) from Friends--and infected countless friends and acquaintances' vocabularies with it, too.

If my brother and I happen to witness, or be on the receiving end, of a shameless display of brown-nosing, he'll lean over to me and say, "That's a lovely dress you're wearing, Mrs. Cleaver." To which I promptly respond, "Thank you, Eddie." If my brother's not there for the whole routine, I'm saying "Thank you, Eddie" in my head.

From Homicide "Yes, Snarky, from the ancient greek meaning... butthead"

Also I have managed to work the phrase "I'm not Montel Williams!" into legitamite conversation

The Simpsons;
"Ha-ha!" is very useful
"I'm ever so pissed!"
"Everything's coming up Milhouse!"

Buffy the Vampire Slayer
"Your mouth is open, words are coming out, this is never good"

"Love makes you do the wacky!"
