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.

Oh and 'fire up the Quattro' when we are leaving the house to get in the DS

@NewYorkIvy we do 'oh he's got a conservatory' from Early Doors 😁

Whenever I tell DP to repeat something or do the same thing again we say “always the same, always the same” which from The Office when David is doing Keith’s appraisal

“I’M BEAUTIFUL!” From Muriel’s wedding

So many...:

In Pitch Perfect when Fat Amy is asked why she has Bumper's number on her phone and she replies "errrrrrrr...higher pitch eeeerrrrrrrr", whenever someone gets found out.

Like pp IT Crowd "I'm disabled, leg disabled" and "have you tried turning it off and back on again?"

Lots from Hot Fuzz in a proper country accent eg. "The greater good"

"YTS typing" when one us has put a typo in a message or email. Said by the announcer in Victoria Wood as seen on TV.

" He's flat-lining! Nurse! Get him some eggs chopped up in a cup!" Whenever anyone says they feel a bit peaky or poorly. Early doors. Absolutely brilliant. "TANYOH!" but that's from the stage show. Also "WHO'S the prime minister?!" I like circuses, me.

Lots of Phoenix nights ones if any of us says "you can't do that!" "I can! And I have Potter!"

"You're eating ham, Pam" amongst other Gavin and Stacey quotes.
"Would you like me to lap dance for you?" Alan Partridge.

When we're putting the shopping away, etc. if one of us says "Where shall I put this?" we always say "Bend over and I'll show you" (Lampoons Christmas Vacation)

I sometimes put my shower cap on, poke my head round the door and say "Oooh, Betty!" (Some Mothers do 'Ave em)

If someone swears in front of the kids, we always say "Language Timothy!" (Sorry)

Yes, to quote Blackadder - how the evenings must fly in our house! 😅

Oh, and with the plethora of quizzes we have been subjected to during lockdown,

"Have you asked the question about Pickles yet, Ken?"

Also various people "came up the ship canal on a Ryvita", for any celeb news "it was in the daily mail" and when anyone mentions Urmston (we are in Manchester, more often than you might think) "there are two ways"
In fact, there's probably more from Dinnerladies

"The world is our lobster!" From Only Fools & Horses

Not a tv show as such but it was on tv:

Barry Ferguson was yellow carded and the sideline mic picked him up saying “how’s that a foul but?”

Makes perfect sense to us west of Scotlanders

Buffy, Friends and Blackadder form most of our dialogue, tbh.

Along with Supernatural - "You're doing your best? You're doing your best? Well do the best of somebody better!"

And Withnail & I - "We've come on holiday by mistake!" and "The fucker will rue the day!"

"No No No No No No No " said Ben Kingsley style in Sexy Beast if one of us doesn't want something.
Also "I'll have the calamari" in whatever cafe, eating establishment we might be in, a la Ray Winstone from same film.

Lots of Blackadder (“purest green”), father Ted (go on go on go on go on) and Monty Python (“he’s not the Messiah, he’s a very naughty boy”).

My favourite is very old, from Gregory’s Girl
“Food, food, food, I’m having a crisis, and all you can think about is food!”.

"It's a Mr Death or something, he's come about the reaping?"
One of us will say this to the other when someone comes to the door.

"You're terrible Muriel" specifically to my sister when she does something wrong.

If dh or I are explaining something someone has done wrong, and we refer to said person as a "twat" the other one has to continue "oh he's a bit of a knob but he's not a twat" from The Inbtweeners.

"You're terrible Muriel" yes, this

We also refer to any type of picnic bag fir a long journey as The Blue Bag, regardless of its colour, as in The Middle.

Fwwwwends
Bus *ankers

We use 'that would be an ecumenical matter' for virtually every question asked to which we don't have an immediate answer, and also 'feck! Drink! Women's knickers!' as a general filler.

There's also a fair bit of 'don't tell him, Pike!' at work.

DH and I always say to each other:

Him "Did I thank you?"
Me: "No."
Him: "I Will"

Its from the film Desperado with Antonio Banderas fans self

Like others we mainly communicate in quotes however aside from a l’orbite of the ones mentioned here we do the below A LOT

Whenever anyone’s does a loud yawn/stretch we always quote Juno ‘I am a Kracken from seeeeeea’ scene.

We also used to go about greeting each other using ‘motherfucker’ in various tones as per Californication. We’ve known our main friend group for about 20 years so there are too many in jokes and references that I can imagine we are confusing to be around.

L’orbite ??? stupid phone

Oh, and as a kid, loads of Monty P, blackadder and red dwarf references.

Eg. If something is urgent or an emergency we would say "Move up to red alert Kryton! Are you sure?- it does mean changing the bulb"

Blackadder:

"I have a plan so cunning you could stick a tail on it and call it a weasel"

"As cunning as a fox who's just been appointed Professor of Cunning at Oxford University"

"Just a wild stab in the dark which is incidentally what you'll be getting if you dont start being a bit more helpful!"

"Luck luck LUCKY us Lucky lucky luck, luck luck"

"He’s madder than Mad Jack McMad, the winner of last year’s Mr Madman competition"

hehe!

Not a quote but me and my sister have an ongoing joke about NCIS and goats that only we understand.
My sil is called June and whenever I see her I hear in my head that annoying "It's JUNE love" from the old people life insurance ad !

"course you can Malcolm" if someone asks if they can have something. I have no idea where it's from but my grandma used to say it.

Ours are mainly from The Big Lebowski, Star Wars, Spaced and The Princess Bride.
But we also use "No, these are small, those are far away" far too often

I have a penchant for "we'll have to take off and nuke it from orbit. It's the only way to be sure" for just about anything that has fucked up! (Last usage being the sorry mess of a pizza dough I made for lunch last week- it needed about half a pound more flour...)

"What you doin?" In a high pitch voice from Spaced whenever DH or I are confused by one another's actions.

"We're werewolves not swear-wolves" from What we do in the Shadows.

"You have poo brain, I diagnosed it like five minutes ago." From Adventure time. It's our ultimate insult.
