"No-one wants their bank manager to know that they tickle arse!"

"Good morning, that's a nice tnetennba!"

"We could try that: 'I buy Zappy Nappies for my kids' shit.' I've got it: 'Weighs less than a bun, holds more than a ton.'"

"We have to chew everything 72 times, Keith!"
"I want to see the zoo, she said, I want to see the zoo!" [sung]

Just about everything from Still Game:
Winston to the turkey: "Like it or not, you taste smashing!"
Tam's adapted card: "Congratulations on passing your driving Christmas!"

Richie: "What about pin the tail on the donkey?"
Eddie: "We haven't got a donkey."
Richie: "Well er, pin the tail on the chicken."
Eddie: "We haven't got a tail."
Richie: "Well pin the sausage on the chicken."
Eddie : "We haven't got a chicken."
Richie: "Well pin the sausage on the fridge."
Eddie: "Or a pin."
Richie: "Sellotape a sausage to the fridge."
Eddie: "We haven't got a sausage."
Richie: "Put a bit of Sellotape on the fridge!"
Eddie: "Not much of game, is it?"

'Imagine the mess when she got a cold' queenie from blackadder delighting I'm chopping off someone's nose.

Ploppy son of ploppy, it is from him I inherited my fascinating skin diseases.

He's not the messiah, he's a very naughty boy.

From Ally mcBeal, "maybe her gynacologist pulled the wrong tooth?"

I think it was Life on Mars, but a classic Gene Hunt line:

"Don't move, you're surrounded by armed bastards!".

Scrumpyjacks · 08/07/2020 06:55

Anything pam says in Gavin and Stacey. That character is comedy gold... Dh and I always say "I was high as a pipe" now!
Also, "no way hose"
"before you know it, I'll be known as 3 steaks pam"
"I'm not being funny Stacey, but you wanna get a life. Cuz what you just said was really boring"
"the strawberry blonde fella from patch Adams"

Also
"you want the moon, Mary? Just say the word and I'll throw a lasso around it and pull it down. Hey, that's a pretty good idea" from its a wonderful life.

@Clevererthanyou I just love the film, full of one liners!

JeSuisPrest · 08/07/2020 07:26

Oh god. I realize as a woman how lucky I am. I was there when that wonderful creature drifted into my life and I was there when she drifted out. It was the most precious moment of my life.

Agree with Pam in G&S "Oh my Christ!" And "It's the drama Mick, I just love it"

Also so much from Kath and Kim "I just want to be effluent mum" "You ARE effluent Kim"
