Movie Quotes in Everyday Life

[gemstone]

Surprisingly enough, a lot of people seem to feel that, "That'll do Pig. That'll do." isn't appropriate for everyday conversations. It's amazing how often it manages to slip into my regular speech, though.

Only recently saw Mean Girls. I should not have been allowed to see this movie because now "it's like the rules of feminism" and "Boo, you whore" are incorporated into my everyday speech. We especially love yelling the latter phrase at my sister's basketball games. Makes for quite a reaction from the surrounding parents.

Mr. Sleepy and I routinely tell each other "That'll do, Pig. That'll do." But yeah, unless you remember the movie, it sounds like an insult.

Also, I have to say it aloud every time I see the actor (James Cromwell? Hee -- I almost said Oliver Cromwell) in something.

My favorites that I use all the time:

"Certainty of death...small chance of success...what are we waiting for?" from LoTR: Return of the King

"When you have to shoot, shoot, don't talk." from The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

"Animals will be raised and (saying dramatically) slaaaaaaaaaauuuuuuuuughtered" from Dr. Strangelove

"Are you suggesting coconuts migrate?" from Monty Python and the Holy Grail

I quote movies too much...

[snarkypotato]

I like to add "What what!" to the end of my sentences like Fowler from Chicken Run.

"Cockadoodle doo! What what!"

There are a lot of good quotes in that movie:

Mr. Tweedy: What is it?
Mrs. Tweedy: It's a pie machine, you idiot. Chickens go in, pies come out.
Mr. Tweedy: Oooh, what kind of pies?
Mrs. Tweedy: Apple.

And this is from a TV show, but I also like saying in a reallly shocked tone "I kissed... a chicken!" from the Chicken Boo cartoons on the Animaniacs show.

Hmmm... I seem to be sensing a poultry theme going on here...

My problem with quoting movies is that I'm always quoting small things that, while they aren't overly funny, I find hysterical. For instance: In Encino Man (let's not even get into that, m'kay?) Pauly Shore and the caveman are in the store and Pauly is explaining the food groups. They decided to heat a burrito and there's a drawn out thing about how long it needs to be nukked. Point being, the heavily accented phrase, "two minutes" get's quoted often at my house and no one ever seems to understand why it's funny.

ETA: From the same scene, "No more squeezing the ju-uice!" not said by Pauly, mind you, is just a laugh riot and get's said more often than it ever should be.

Oh snarkypotato, how could I forget Chicken Run?!? That entire movie is one gigantic great quote!

"It's a Cling-on, Cap'n! And the engines can't take it!"

Ginger: You took a bit of a nasty fall...
Mac: And sprained the anterior tendon connecting your radius to your humerus. I gave her a bit of a tweak, Jimmy, and wrapped her up.
Rocky: Was that English?

Ginger: Listen, we either die free chickens, or die trying.
Babs: Are those the only choices?

Ginger: So laying eggs all your life and then getting plucked, stuffed, and roasted is good enough for you?
Babs: It's a living.

I seriously could quote this entire movie... ;D

I say that all the time! Of course, the only person who ever appreciates it is my father, but then he regularly quotes, "Baa Ram Eew" or whatever it is that Babe says.

"Are you suggesting coconuts migrate?" from Monty Python and the Holy Grail

Never, ever gets old. Another favorite is...

"What is your favorite color? What is your quest? What is the airspeed velocity of a swallow in flight?"

...all asked with the proper accent and intonation.

[Deleted]

^Would that be an African or a European swallow?

See? It never gets old or is not funny!
