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.

Sorry *cost - caps fail

So many
From Father Ted-
"Small cows, far away cows"
"I hear you're a racist now, Father"
"Nuns! Nuns! Reverse!"
"Is there anything to be said for saying another Mass?"
"It has cocaine in it!"
"It's Ireland's largest lingerie department" (When commenting on the size of a new shop)

From Frasier
"What fresh hell is this?"

"Help me, I'm poor" from Bridesmaids

Mean Girls, whenever passing anything out, "aaand none for Gretchen Wieners"

Friends
"Shovelly Joeeee"

Brooklyn 99
"Smort" "Noice" and "cool cool cool cool cool"

The Simpsons
"You don't win friends with salad"

Everybody Hates Chris - "That's 22 pence worth of butter!"

Inbetweeners - "Oooh friend!" "You BUMDER!"

Gavin and Stacey -
"Oh my Christ!"
"Alright how's it going alright?"
"THERES the salad" while flicking the Vs

"Cheese, Gromit?"

"Mange tout, Rodney?" "Gordon Bennett!"

I think we've forgotten how to have a normal conversation...

most often "Konnichiwa Dickheads!" from the sublime Giri/Haji

When one of us is struggling to understand something the other one says ‘these cows are small....but those are far away’ or just ‘small.....far away’.

Father Ted, of course.

Anyone who quotes Christmas Vacation in every day life is my kind of person

So many typos, argh!

Every time Glen Hoddle is on TV or commentating a match we have to say “Glen Hoddle’s ‘avin a ball!” From Adam and Joe.

Equally any time Paul Merson is on we day “Mers ain’t ‘avin it.” Because once he got the right jump on Sky Sports News.

The circle of trust from Meet The Parents

from Fawly Towers
'I'm doing it, I'm doing it now!!!' When someone keeps asking for something
'I mentioned it once but i think i got away with it' , can fit a multitude of occasions
'Don't mention the (suitable word here instead if 'war', but sometimes it's'war' for no reason)

Curb your enthusiasm
'Pretty, pretttyyy, pretttyyyyy good!'

Death at the funeral (the UK version)

When asked what's on TV we say " get a TV guide don't need a TV" and when we get in the car we say "let's go to town '' and lots more from The Lost Boys. Children have no idea what we are on about but say it all the same.

"Shit on it, shiiit on it" everytime something goes wrong from Martin in Friday night dinner.....

Ooh yes Hot Fuzz! If someone describes anything there's quite a high probability that they'll say "about 2 feet tall, long, slender, neck. Kinda orange and black bill..." and whenever we see swans it's "It's a swan..."

Lots from "Smokey & the Bandit" here:
"Ain't no way that coulda come from ma loins" when any of the DSs did something stupid.
"Hold up at the car wash" = wait a minute
Also loads from Little Britain: "Computer says no." For any IT malfunction, "I want that one", "Margaret, I say, Margaret" (my SiL's name, so comes up often).

From Airplane, "Make a little hat, a little brooch"
In response to what am I going to do with this?

When we carry something we say ‘to me . . . to you’

We quote Pride and Prejudice to each other. My friends think we are mad. I was really chuffed when my friend had a wild flower garden planted. So I could say, "There seems to be a prettyish sort of wilderness on one side of your lawn"

Father Ted, (small, far away) when someone doesn't understand something. Peter Kay "watch my juices" when passing something hot or delicate. Friday night dinner "shit on it!" Or sometimes dh will say "hello Jackie" when he walks in. This thread has really cheered me up.

I'm so happy someone else upthread quotes Nuts in May! My Dad & I will say, "Kiss Pwudence" à propos nothing, really

‘Do you want ants because that’s how you get ants’ from Archer if someone drops something.
‘That word does not mean what you think it means’ from The Princess Bride especially when a politician is lying.
And lots of IT crowd and Father Ted references.

Ds’ hamster was called ‘Bob’ just so we could say it in the Blackadder style!
Loads more that have crept in over the years without us realising😁
‘You’ll like this... not a lot‘ -
Paul Daniels
‘Here’s what you could have won’ Bullseye
‘Guess who’s dead?’ Peter Kay
‘Irony... is that the same as Goldy and Bronzey?’ Baldrick, Blackadder
The ‘canoe in my pocket’ one, also Blackadder
‘Don’t call me Shirley, nice beaver’ etc from Airplane
‘Nice gash’ from Gimme,Gimme, Gimme
‘Fire up the Quattro’ - when any sort of engine is involved

Part of the English language now!

‘That’ll T-cut out‘ .... from The Firm (Gary Oldmans dad says it when his car has been completely ruined) said about any car damage, but the bigger, the better ... ie, complete wreck, no doors, rusted totally away etc

‘Nice Gash’ from Gimme Gimme Gimme.
‘I’m a gay man‘ also GGG
