TV quotes that you MUST get in at work....

[Winenotttea]

I’m just watching Agatha Raisin and she has just said that she is ‘waiting in for someone to trim her thatch’ 😂
I don’t have a thatched roof but no one at work knows that, I am SO going to try to get that into conversation or a meeting at work next week.
Does anyone else have some great expressions that you would love to get into a conversation at work?

Ah, this reminds me of the Fast Show in the 90s:

Scorchio!
Suits you Sir
This week I have mostly been wearing..
What did I say Roy?
Which was nice

The one I do use is Phoebe's, from Friends:

Oh, I wish I could but I don't want to.

And an old one from Xena, Warrior Princess :

I just want to get through the day without having to kick somebody's ass.

‘That’s brand new information!’

Phoebe in Friends

Can she have wafer thin ham, Barbara?

Wafer thin ham Barbara is one of the best lines ever!

“I’d love to stop and chat but I’d rather have type 2 diabetes.”

“When I need your advice, I’ll give you the special signal: which would be me being sectioned under the f*ing mental health act.”

"Yes and ho! "

"I'm bored of this, I'm going for a twix."

The Thick of It. There's so many more.

No, just a wild stab in the dark which is, incidentally, what you'll be getting if you don't start being a bit more helpful.

"I don't understand the question and I won't respond to it"

Lucille (arrested development)

No luck then Ted?
That would be an ecumenical matter
Ah go on go on go on go on

'That's what she said'

Did nooooooo get an agenda

She says it isn't hers, and I for one believe her

Get out.

no “I” in team
No “f” in way

I work in an architects office and I try to quote "how thick is wall?" from peep show where I can

Can you smell my Charlie?

Jean, from Dinnerladies

An old colleague and I used to try to slip Alan Partridge quotes into presentations wherever possible.

‘I’m basically a chilled-out entertainer.’

‘Ah, you will you will you will you will.’

‘Patrick, your genius is showing.’
‘Really? Where?’

CBC, Chem 7 and page Weaver (ER)

Stay nourished, eat some chops (Killing Eve)

Right, I’m now going for my thatch but I’m also going for smelling my Charlie 😂
What the actual fuck does that mean!

Eagle!

I encounter a lot of, shall we say challenging people at work. I often think 'DRACARYS' when people are giving me shit but I'm yet to say it out loud.

The eyes are open, the mouth moves, but Mr Brain has long since departed.

"You may think that I couldn't possibly comment" I say this on average weekly, so far only a handful of people have cottoned on

“It's not rocket surgery” and “waste of skin” from Lexx

There is an appropriate Simpsons quote for every single workplace situation.

Box factory comes in handy fairly often.

The eyes are open, the mouth moves, but Mr Brain has long since departed.

Haha, I’m going to use this ASAP

Not a TV phrase, but I saw “high dudgeon” on another thread today and I’m determined to use it soon!
