TV and Film Quotes that are “in jokes” within your family

[GivenchyDahhling]

I’m sure I’ve seen this done before (whether here or on Twitter) but it does always make me laugh to see the quotes people use in their day-to-day lives.

There’s a couple that spring to mind for me - firstly a later Friends episode where the father of the babies Monica and Chandler are going to adopt could be a murderer and Chandler refers to him as, “Shovvely Joe” - DH and I use that about anyone a bit shady!

And more recently there’s a few Brooklyn 99 episodes around a MLM scheme where they all greet each other saying “Boom Boom”; again DH and I say this to each other!

I also always pronounce Socrates as “So-crates” like in Bill and Ted, I’m sure anyone overhearing me would think I was a little bit dim.

There are definitely others, will add them if any come to mind.

'Good luck, everyone' from Blackadder is a standard wish in our house. My DM finishes every phone call with 'and on that bombshell...' (Alan Partridge)

If something is good, we have to say "pretty, prrrrety goood", like Larry David in Curb Your Enthusiasm.

Oh, and when something strange happens, one of us will put on a nasal voice and say "That's magic!" like Paul Daniels .

There’s a scene in the James Dean movie “Giant”, when the family is sitting down to a big dinner (could be Thanksgiving) and the kids realise they are eating their pet turkey. They all start crying “Pedro! Pedro!”.

“Pedro! Pedro!” has become our lighthearted family reaction to unexpectedly bad happening.

The bit in Phoenix Nights where Max gets a new car alarm with a personalised alert which goes, "Git back ya bastards or I'll break your legs!" when anyone approaches the car.

Used in our house during DIY, gardening, when warning others off snacks, etc.

When we were telling DS something when he was younger that we wanted him to take note of, we would put on an appalling French accent and say "listen very carefully i shall say this only once". DH was a big fan of Allo Allo.

Be reasonable (Athur Daley Minder)

Say my name
I am the danger (Walter white)

Love hearing other peoples ones!

"You've got no dignity, Muriel" (said in jest if someone has embarrassed themselves).

"Why don't they answer??" in Buzz Lightyear's voice when someone isn't answering a call (and really hope they don't answer mid-saying it).

My mum and I used to greet each other with “ Awright Neville... you’d never guess who came by...” a la Catherine Tate. She died last year and really miss the silliness. Any hideous clothing was also referred to as “ Very Angela Rippon” from French and Saunders..

It’s dark, and we’re wearing sunglasses.
Hit it.

Start of every major car trip for years.

Also “ corner like it’s on rails” for car trips Steelasprey .

From Gavin and Stacey "alright, how's it going alright?" When we all walk into my parents house and "oh" for just everything and anything.. always in a welsh accent!

And "what a fucking liberty" if someone does something wrong, lighthearted of course 😂

Every time we mention holiday savings or going to the pub someone has to say ‘I’m in the pube with the holiday monkey’ a la Bottom

There are way too many Gavin and Stacey, Only Fools and Alan Partridge ones to mention, in fact we barely speak in anything other than quotes

My dad's catchphrase was always "calm down Mr Mainwaring" if anyone was getting a bit agitated. Still never seen Dad's Army.

Not quite TV related, but if we see a fox on the street he will also sing "foxy lady" with full guitar strains a la Jimi Hendrix.

And because it feels like we've had CBeebies on 24/7/365 for the last five years, if anyone rings the doorbell the whole house starts a chorus of "who's at the door, who's at the door?......" in the style of Justin's House.

There's that many in our house I forget where they're all from, but some I can remember:
'No kitty, that's a bad kitty kitty' in a Cartman from South Park voice every time the cat begs at the table.
'First you've got to do the truffle shuffle' from the Goonies whenever the kids ask for something.
'And then...' from Dude Where's My Car said repeatedly to each other whenever anyone utters those words

"We leave at .... nine-ish" (Frazier - said the night before every family holiday)

"Two minutes Turkish" (Snatch - said about when dinner will be ready in a bit)

"Ditto" accompanied by boaking finger down throat when one of us is being a soppy twat (from Ghost)

Me and DH like to tell hey-oo bitches when we come in the house, is from It's Always Sunny In. Philadelphia.
If anyone mentions having a baby or Arizona, I say "I want me a baby" in a Southern State accent like Holly Hunter in Raising Arizona.

If we ever had sausages DM and I would recite a Ben Elton line about flat sharing fridges. Mr “Hey, it was only a sausage” and then the other person has to rant “But it was MY SAUSAGE, and you ATE IT!!”

Sorry, just think we maybe only talk in tv references. About food “ Where’s the salad? Here’s your fucking salad” whilst giving V signs.

'Hurry the fuck up Bridget' if someone is fannying around, from Bridget Jones's Diary.

'Tickets! Money! Passport!' when we're leaving the house. It's from an episode of Absolutely Fabulous where Patsy and Eddie go on holiday and leave the house without their tickets, money and passports

'Pivot! Pivot! Piiiivvvvvvvoooottttt!' if DP and I have to pick up and carry anything between us, even if it's in a straight line.

We also do the 'and on that bombshell...' thing, but as in Top Gear.

My siblings and I tend to speak mainly in film/TV quotes.. Way too many to think of just one

"Fool Dasheki was born pregnant" What we say if we here of someone expecting, obviously in jest...Its one of many quotes we use from Don't be a menace to South Central 😂

Screaming Pivot whilst carrying something with someone 😂😂 Classic Friends

Or if someone says "you can't tell me what to do!! We say "I am your mother!!!" 😂 Kat Slater

If we hear someone say take your finger of course it leads to " And touch your nose, blink 3 times and off it goes" yep Mr Tumble was 24/7 at one time 😂😂😂

My late DH came from London, so always had some rhyming slang on the go... We were avid fans of Only Fools, and spoke to each other in silly quotes from the show all the time. He’s been gone almost 20 years now, but in my head, I still hear him saying daft things to me in the OFAH style. Still miss him and his funny sayings.

Or if someone says "you can't tell me what to do!! We say "I am your mother!!!" 😂 Kat Slater

that's pops here too as well as "you can't handle the truth" few good men & "your gonna need a bigger boat". Also a few from phoenix nights eg "sunshine in doors".
