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.

"Bear with" from Miranda.
Not a TV program with "exackly" from the 80's milk advert with the Scouse boys.

I always say " the world's your lobster" like Arthur Daly in Minder.

Prob no longer very PC but DH and I often call each other Dave as in 'Hello Dave' from the League of Gents.

Said in a Papa Lazarou voice too.

'It was a joke Mark, a [insert occasion here] joke' from peep show

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

Also this ^

"it's the drama Mick" Gavin and Stacey
"Morning Neville" Catherine Tate
Pretty much all of Friday Night Dinner
"I thought I were great " Rita Sue and Bob too
"Fwend" and "Bus stop wankers" from Inbetweener
"We are all Derry Girls James" and "catch yerself on" from Derry Girls

Ours are mainly The Simpsons and Drag Race related!
Stop, stop, he’s already dead! If the dog is shaking his toy.
DH is lactose intolerant so calls DS and I ‘cheese eating surrender monkeys’.
‘Save me jeebus’ for pretty much everything

And...not today Satan, not today! If anything goes wrong.

We always say 'Yis' to any question needing an affirmative answer, in that very clipped way that Doc Martin always uses.

Bring me/him/her the finest muffins and bagels in all the land when someone has achieved something (West Wing)

Loads mentioned above from Gavin and Stacey, IT crowd. Father Ted, Catherine Tate (the dirty bastards), Friday Night Dinner (shalom, shalom) etc.

Our, possibly unique, one is from the gangster film The Business with a young Danny Dyer. The main gangster's girlfriend is is showing him a posh frock she has just bought. He glances at her and says 'yes but not with the espadrilles' and carries on his conver8. She shouts back 'I wasn't going to wear the facking espadrilles!'. We are unable to pass espadrilles in a shop without saying 'facking espadrilles'.

There was a Not the 9 o’clock News Sketch - that ended with the words.
Bon Appetite.....S.A.S.
Whatever it was about- lost in the mist of time- my late husband and I were in hysterics. Whenever We heard the words Bon Appetite.....we would both shout out SAS - to the bewilderment of others.
Now and again on the telly someone says it and I still respond and look at his chair wishing he was here.

This will totally out me if my mother is on MN but .... "Just the one, Mrs Wembley?" when any of us pour a drink

I am a big fan of "This week I will be mostly ...." which can be followed by eating something, drinking something, wearing something.

Just thought of another one to share - 42 . It came up on a works' video call a couple of weeks ago, as the answer to a particular question; to which I exclaimed "So that was the question!". Blank looks from everybody except my boss, who burst out laughing. It turns out that nobody else had ever watched H2G2

Said in a Papa Lazarou voice too
Every time DD has a charcoal face mask on someone tells her ‘Your my wife now Dave’ in appropriate voice.
Also if anyone is doing something even mildly risky gets told ‘Careful now’ from Father Ted.

Lots of Victoria Wood ones in our house.

If someone can’t find something, or can’t remember the word they want to use, we say ‘is it on the trolley? Can you point at it? Is it a sorbet?’

Any mention of soup and it’s ‘2 soups? One. Soup. And. Another....Soup’

‘Get you, Eamonn Andrews!’

‘Oh oi AM purloised!’ Translated: ‘oh I am pleased!’ Said in the accent of Mrs Overall from Acorn Antiques.

And you have to say the word ‘really’ in a Mancunian accent like Kelly Marie Tunstall.

Showing my age, but in our house if asked to wash up/ tidy your room/ mow the lawn or whatever, the expected response was “I didn’t get where I am today by mowing the lawn” etc etc (CJ, Rise and fall of Reginald Perrin) Anyone saying “great” would hear “super” from elsewhere in the house!

I drink from the keg of glory (West Wing for any little triumph in life)

That happened fast (West Wing when you get dumped with something)

Whatever is wrong with you it is no little ting (Cool Runnings general insult to family members)

Battered veg! (Catherine Tate sketch re tempura used anytime something slightly foreign crops up)

Harry Enfields teenager too

Dd once actually uttered the line "I have to do EVERYTHING round here" despite never having seen any of these sketches. I ended up tracking down the one where we see Kevin go from a sweet 12 year old to teenager on YouTube and saying "that's you!"

Got her and her friends into watching them all and they loved them....and agreed they were eerily accurate!

Also forgot "Sanka, you dead? Yeah man"
and "i see pride, I see power, I see a badass motherfucker who don't take no shit from nobody" from Cool Runnings - thanks to the PP for reminding me!

Also if anyone asks ‘do you mind if...’ they get told, ‘no, my mother was a woman!’ - you’d have to know your Kenneth Williams Carry Ons for that one.

DP uses loads, but I'm not great at remembering things like that.
A few weeks ago I was asking dp to take the rubbish out and he was saying no I'm doing the dishes blah blah blah, so I said "do it, and let the English see you do it". He thought that was hilarious and took the rubbish out. I was quite proud of myself if I'm honest. I can never usually come up with things like that.

I have just used "its a trap" to my Dad

We are having a Derry Girls immersion presently which led to me saying to DS this morning "You will go far in life DS, but you will not be liked", and to DH "It's a hangover Claire" and to Disis "you've just lost a bit of dignity there".

I know DS is gearing up for a verse of Its Monday Morning!

We're going to need a bigger boat with boat interchanged for whatever we need.

Noooow chicken! Or any song done by Phoebe. Pivot!

Speeeeed and power ala Clarkson when I want something done with no questions.

If someone hurts themselves we say “‘Tis but a scratch” from Monty Python.
If someone is dithering about we say “come the fuck in or fuck the fuck off.”
If one of the kids says something we can’t understand we say “explain, explain” like a Dalek.
If we are walking somewhere we say “which way do you want to go?” the helping hands. If we go down we follow it up with “she chose down, she chose down!” All said in the same accent.

‘Explain, explain’ like a Dalek really made me laugh

If DH asks me a question about plants or vice versa we get “you don’t look like your average horti-fucking-culturalist” in return. Ditto if there is a horticulturist on the TV. From Lock, Stock And Two Smoking Barrels.
Double points if you can get that one in whilst buying compost at the garden centre without anyone else hearing you.
