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.

We do the pivot thing whenever we move any furniture as well ! Also I always tell my daughters to make good choices when I drop them off places from the film freaky Friday !

Tends to be Blackadder quotes in our family...

"The long winter evenings must just fly by"

"Baldrick, the ape creatures of the Indus have mastered this"

We like "You've gone wrong" a lot, from the Mighty Boosh.

"Serenity now!" From Seinfeld.

Don't call me Shirley (from Airplane) whenever anyone says Surely. We just can't help ourselves.

'Ooooh, Renee' - randomly to dh.

Also, from Allo Allo- 'Good moaning, I wiz oanly pissing' whenever I need to do a French accent.

Yy to 'Don't call me Shirley.'

Airplane ‘Leon’s getting larger...’, ‘Yes, I remember, I had the lasagne’, ‘Well it’s an xyz, but that’s not important right now’, ‘The white zone has always been for loading ..’

Father Ted: ‘I’m a happy camper’ , Jacobs Creek Chardonnay 1991, ‘That would be an ecumenical matter’ , ‘Nuns, nuns, reverse, reverse!’

Life of Brian and Meaning of Life - basically the entire of both films . Especially Roman Catholic song . Sing it at my grandmother who is as devout as you can get .

IT Crowd: most of the episode Work Outing - ‘I’m disabled ... leg disabled...’

Also most of Mrs Doubtfire gets quotes on a regular basis: ‘Oh no dear, I don’t need a hand, I need a FACE ...’

Every time someone goes to the shop, asks what we want so we handover the cash and the accompanying saying is 'keep the change ya filthy animal'

If someone says something stupid we say 'these are close but those are far away' from Father Ted.
If someone is annoyed it's all 'calm down, calm down' like Harry Enfield.

@inglory
Aww, thank you x
We did have 15 lovely years together, with a whole load of laughs, so I try and remember those times.
I don’t watch OFAH now... I don’t need to... I know all the bloody words!!😁

Holding something hot " I'm in incredible pain here, Ted".
When someone is coincidentally following someone out of a room, always "I'm coming with you!" à la Holy Grail guards.
Something unpleasant is always " something naaasty (in the woodshed)", like in Cold Comfort Farm.
"A GARP" instead of " a gap" when Graham Chapman makes fun of someone's accent in a Monty Python sketch.
Many more that I can't recall at the moment.

Definitely lots of Friends quotes and imitations in my home when dd was growing up, I swear it would have been no surprise if she’d been born singing the theme tune! mainly saying things with chandlers odd emphasis on the wrong words, also Monica’s “I know!” And joeys “doesn’t share food!”

Toy story - dd has a disability which means she is prone to tripping/falling seemingly over her own shadow! It’s really quite spectacular on occasion, so to make light/lift her out of the considerable pain she’s in when this happens “this isn’t flying it’s falling with style!” Sometimes just “it’s falling...with style”

“There seems to be no sign of intelligent life anywhere” said usually when encountering nonsensical bureaucracy or indeed the bureaucrats!

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

Start of every major car trip for years.

Do we get extra points for knowing the movie? The fabulous blues brothers

Ours for such occasions was “I feel the need...the need for speed”

During particular types of arguments to diffuse “I want the truth!” “You can’t handle the truth!”

Also the outtakes from the end of “liar liar” “overactor! Jezebel!”

Charmed but also rather peculiar to my family “this whole family needs a shrink!”

“Well you’ll just have to use some of your god given magic!” Ok this one DOES sound weird, used when 1 of us is coming up with loads of excuses not to do a chore or other tiresome task and is rejecting the other’s ideas for making it easier! Not sure that really explains it well! Basically used to mean “well I don’t know what to bloody suggest but you’re still gonna have to do the damn thing!!”

@SinisterBumFacedCat - I used to have that Ben Elton set on audio cassette, can you PLEASE tell me the name of the show/routine it is from as I’d love to track down an online version. So disappointed he sold out his principles!

kaa so sorry for your loss

“Good luck and don’t fuck it up” and “Remember, if you can’t love yourself how in the hell you gonna love somebody else? Can I get an Amen up in here?”. Huge RuPaul Drag Race fans in this house.

Also we talk about The Circle of Trust like in Meet the Parents

Like a pp we say and then over and over from Dude where's my car. Also Pheeb one boiled egg from Bottom and I'm so so sorry in Father Jack's voice. Father Ted obviously.

Ah yes lots of Life of Brian here too - spare a talent for an old ex-leper! Blessed are the cheesemakers (not to be taken literally, it’s any manufacturer of dairy products)

More recently we seem to have a lot of Little Baby Bum in our household and during ‘rain rain go away’ there is a particularly whiny bit where they say, ‘I want to play on the roundabout’, DH and I now say that whenever it rains.

And Blackadder too - but mainly Lord Flashheart. Nursey, like the beard, gives me something to grab onto!

Ronny Chieng's rant in Asian Comedian Destroys America!

'I'm interested in positivity and solutions right now. There will be time at a later date to apportion blame for this whole fucking fiasco'

Frequently said by me to DH... I'm an ideas person... unfortunately they're not always good ones

Always say drink in appalling stereotypical Irish accent when referring to my brother getting drunk quoting father jack from father Ted.
Who's at door from Justin's house when someone knocks.
Awight like Michael Barrymore when we see my dad as he's his doppelganger. Genuinely used to get asked for his autograph please Mr Barrymore when he was big in the 90s.
To me to you when carrying something followed by chuck a chucklevision.

Also burst into the song I have an idea from Molly and Mac if anyone utters those dreaded words.
Back off ya spooky bitch from still game if something makes us jump

Whenever someone mentions friends in a general way without mentioning a name, we both start saying "friend!" in that stupid voice from the Inbetweeners.

"You know nothing John Snow" is repeated by me every time I do something clever for DH.(GoT)

"You've broken the internet" whenever the iPad fucks up ( IT crowd).

"Get in if you wanna live!" when opening the passenger door of the car.

"oh my christ" from gavin and stacey

To be honest there are loads, we tend to change them slightly by mistake and not remember the original.
Not a quote as such but when dh and I make a deal we say "Delia Smith" to seal it.

If husband ventures off in search of something in a shop 'stay alive I will find you' - last of the mohicans'

In response to most things the dirty bastards' Catherine Tates and also when we're cooking and need Shitake mushrooms 'Shit Ache mushrooms, can you believe it, SHIT ACHE, the dirty bastards'

And if we need Thyme we always sing 'Time is on our side' which is from Fallen with Denzel Washington

And 'Bob, funny name for a girl' - Blackadder plus when my husband is regaling someone with a fact I always say 'the long winter nights fly by'
