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 this a lot!
Obviously "Pivot" from friends and "Joey doesn't share food" "Oh my god" in Janice voice!
Brooklyn 99 "noice" and "title of your sex tape"
Big Bang Theory "Our babies will be smart and beautiful"
Rules of engagement "that's how they get you"
Inbetweeners "Bus wankers/briefcase wanker"
Friday night dinner "shit on it" "wilsoooon!"

I'm sure there are so many more.

Ones I do with the kids - Ben and Hollys Little Kingdom "run for your loives" and "they call that day...acorn day!"
Peppa pig "I am a bit of an expert at..." (daddy pig) "when you jump in muddy puddles you must wear your boots"

Back to Alan Partridge again - 'monkey tennis' to describe any concept where the name has existed first and the details are twisted to fit. Particularly in relation to bizarre TV programmes.

Yes, we do this. There's been a lot of 'monkey tennis' on TV lately.

I do a lot of Paul Calf
"salty gammon".
"tomorrow never comes". "It did yesterday!"
"I'm not wearing dead man's pants"
and millions more.

Then a combination of Young Ones, dinnerladies, Early Doors. And ones my parents still say from Not The Nine O'clock News:
"Do you want a bag on your head?"
"Wild... I was livid!"

And old adverts "One step at a time Martin" is one I use a lot

We've just automatically done one I'd forgotten about!

Exsqueeze me
Baking Powder

From Wayne's World

And as the cats just pissed on the duvet I did one my husband can't remember from Going Live and Trevor and Simon 'oh we don't do duvets' 😁

Ahh I love We Don't do Duvets!

This thread is utterly hilarious! Me and DH do so many it’s hard to think of them all, but a few common ones:

When anyone eats a yoghurt - ‘Terry loves yoghurt’ - from Brooklyn 99
Whenever either of us hear an Irish accent, any quote from Father Ted (‘Teeeeeddddd!’ ‘Drink, Feck, Girls’ ‘We have to put a brick on the accelerator’)
When moving furniture - ‘to me, to you’ - from Chucklevision
Anyone named Howard is automatically referred to as ‘Hooowaarrrdddd’ - in the style of Howard’s mom from the Big Bang Theory
My friend’s partner is named Carl, so he’s automatically ‘Carrrrrollll’ - done in a horrendous Georgia accent like Rick Grimes from The Walking Dead
Loads of Peter Kay stand-up (‘Garlic Bread’ ‘Guess who’s dead’ ‘Let’s have a look at what you could have won’)
On a related note, someone near us owns a speedboat - so that is of course ‘Bully’s Special Prize’

Loads of Alan Partridge
“You’ve just popped out again Alan.”
“Well, you will pay the price of being a picky eater.”

Shirley Ghostman is a favourite for DH and I. If one of us really wants to do something we’ll say “You deserved that holiday! How were you supposed to know dogs can’t feed themselves?”
When one of us comes home it’s “oh er... alright?” Again from Shirley Ghostman, when he shouts at some woman to channel “That bloke what played Tosh from the Bill.” but a bit difficult to explain unless you’ve seen it.

Also Chappelle’s Show: “Cocaine is a hell of a drug.” If one of us does something silly.

Also Peaky Blinders. DH and I will greet each other with “alright brother?”

With my parents and brother we always quote the Vacation films. “I couldn’t give a frog’s fat ass!” And “mornin’! Shitter was full” being two of our favourites.

If DH asks for a cornetto from the freezer I reply with 'Just one?' He then replies in song 'give it to me' and I sing back 'beautiful ice cream from Italy'. I think we've doing this more than 10 years.

Loads - but of course my brain has shut down so I'm struggling to remember them!

Um......

Cake or Death - Eddie Izzard - when we are making an obvious choice
Oh Look! A Badger with a gun! Do you see? - Eddie once more (paraphrased) whenever we want to distract someone.
He's not Anubis - he's got clothes on. - Penfold in Dangermouse - said whenever anyone on TV is anywhere near Egypt
Just the one Mrs Wembley - if DH offers me a drink
Pears are ripe for half an hour - often paraphrased depending on the fruit we are discussing
There's something wrong with this yoghurt - Notting Hill- said whenever mayo is being taken out of the fridge
It's a trap! - Admiral Akbar - said by DH whenever I want him to do something.
A plan so cunning......
I also have a tendency to randomly say 'Bob' a la Blackadder because I like the sound.

My whole family talks about being ‘Greg and Jenny’d when someone gets something before us- from the scene in friends when Chandler and Monica miss being bumped up to first class because Greg and Jenny are in front of them in the queue and get the last spot.
It was literally 15 years later, when watching an old episode that I realised that Greg and Jenny isn’t the name of the couple in the queue- but the people they meet on the plane. Oh how we laughed. Still use it though!!

'I have Phil Mitchelled the sofa!!'

is what we say when the sofa has been thoroughly searched for eg a lost passport....

In reference to Eastenders when Phil Mitchell was addicted to crack and rather memorably destroyed a sofa looking for a lost rock. ...

“The arm is movin’” from the scene in Independence Day where they’re cutting open the not-quite-dead alien... DH and I say it we see DS starting to wake up on the baby monitor.

We keep shouting “What? NO!” In the same shook was Forky does in the Disney shorts available just now 😂

If anyone does or says anything idiotic in a work situation my friend and I silently email each other 'you have to stop the q tip when there's resistance ' in the header of an email a la Chandler Bing.

DH will often quote 'crucifixion? Over on the left' from Monty Python in a queuing situation.

Woman local to us kicked off an unholy row about dog mess on social media and people troll her to this day with 'that eez not my dog' in the style of Inspector Clouseau.

Ditto the person complaining about non locals clogging up parking spaces was repeatedly asked if the visitors appeared to have gone on holiday by mistake. (Withnail).

A few things have been quoted from Spiceworld the Movie:

"I hope you know what you're doing, because if you're looking for a fight, you're gonna LOSE!!!"

"Things would be better if it wasn't for our fascist slave driver bossing us about all the time."

"I know you said it was going to be tacky, but this is... tacky."

"You don't have a life, you have a schedule."

Not so much a quote as a reference - any couple in matching jumpers or coats are referred to as "Howard & Hilda" (from Ever Decreasing Circles)

"Jokin I am, I'm not a real giant " (used when making jokes, obvs)
"Don't be a twat, Stace" - self explanatory
"It's like he's got another woman, gav" (used by dd when dh is getting obsessed about something..)

All from Gavin and Stacey

A lot of line of duty quotes but our faves are
"Now stop making a tit of yourself and piss off"
"No. I did not" in a very Lindsey Denton voice (quite a niche example, granted)
And (this has had a lot of mileage in recent months)
"4 words. I-mu-ni-ty" used pretty much any time anyone says 'what do you want' or any time coronavirus is mentioned...

When someone's not sure what they want 'bag on your head? Woofers and tweeters? Slimline salad dressing?

From Not the Nine o clock news...My DM used to exclaim 'huge melons' until we pointed out it was referring to breasts.

“The arm is movin’” from the scene in Independence Day where they’re cutting open the not-quite-dead alien... DH and I say it we see DS starting to wake up on the baby monitor.

Made me laugh out loud. DH and I used to say 'The Kraken Wakes...' in the same situation.

My and dh basically quote Alan Partridge for most things.
'That's saaaaaaad'

Ahhhh this bread is great, the partridge refs are brilliant esp "You've just popped out again Alan" Poor old Lyn, eh?!

My DH is generally against doing anything which could draw attention to him in public/make a twat of himself but has on a few slightly drunk occasions done the "Dan! Dan! daaaan!" thing obviously according to the persons name we're trying to call. We did it for an actual Dan once. How we laughed! We really need to grow up.

Yes, It's a Trap is excellent for when being asked to do something you don't want to.

Thread not bread, obviously

Any minor injury "tis but a flesh wound" from Monty Python's holy grail
Anything of disputable size "but those cows are far away" from Father Ted

‘Tuesday innit!’ From Miranda, it cracks us all up (me, dh, our 2 teens).

Cake is always pronounced, or rather barked in an Irish accent. Alcohol is greeted with "JACOB'S CREEK CHARDONNAY 1991!“. Dinner is announced as "Knives und stabbing veapons".
