After much consideration, the one I quote the most is Sheldon from Big Bang Theory: "Saturday night is laundry night". It just so covers me when I'm introverting on the weekend.

I'm guessing "Pivot!" may be a popular choice!

Benidorm has a few actually:

Chain-smoking Old Granny in a scooter re her constipation: I haven't been to the toilet in 4 days
Her son in law: Why, is it No Smoking in there?

Boy: Dad, can I have a siesta?
Father: Of course you can, son, we're on all inclusive

"You won't have an empty arm, or an empty anything. "
Tony Hancock's The Blood Donor.

"So laying eggs all your life and then getting plucked, stuffed, and roasted is good enough for you, is it?"
"It's a living"
Chickenrun.

Both quoted regularly in our house.

One I was reminded of recently from Just Good Friends. Vince telling Penny about having acupuncture to help him stop smoking.

”Didn’t you feel a prick?”
”Well, I felt a bit silly, yes.”

Shut that door was Larry Grayson. Can’t remember the show.

Didn't you do well ?! Smile

“I’ve just had my TV repaired. Well I say “repaired”. A shifty looking youth in plimsolls waggled my aerial and wolfed my Gypsy Cremes, but that’s the comprehensive system for you”

I could literally quote Victoria Wood for hours but that, to me, is a whole sit com in three sentences. I genuinely love VW and mourn her passing.

Two pounds fifty and a box of Quality Street and someone says “womb”

BusySittingDown · 26/06/2022 20:22

Oh Only Fools and Horses when Del says
"diamonds are a girl's best friend but cubic zirconia is good company."

And Trigger when he's talking about his trusty broom that he's had for years. He's replaced the brush many times and replaced the handle many times and they're all like, it's not the same broom then is it! (I can't remember the exact quotes).

Also when he's telling them what Del and Raquel are going to name the baby:
"If it's a girl they're going to name her Sigourney after the actress. If it's a boy they're going to name him Rodney after Dave."

“You can’t fight in here, this is the War Room” Dr Strangelove

”(she was) born Christmas Eve so we called her Brenda” Dinnerladies

OliveHenry · 26/06/2022 20:29

"Are you pregnant Bren?"

"Not unless sperm can get through a sash window."

Another favourite from Dinnerladies. Still miss Victoria Wood 😔

KentishMiss · 26/06/2022 20:35

Be careful out there among the English. Said to Harrison Ford at the end of Witness. I always say it to my husband wheh he goes out the house !

National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. The guy with the annoying guest : "Can I get you a drink.....Something to eat......(Under his breath) Drive ya to the middle of nowhere, leave ya for dead......"

We use that a lot, my dh especially.....when my parents come to visit.
We quote so much of that film and it's compulsory viewing on Christmas Eve.
It's Christmas, we're all in misery 😂

Get your lesbian feet out of my shoes (Bend it like Beckham)

I came on to say this too! Love that line.

I love Trigger’s broom. I have a colleague who’s car is always at the mechanics getting something fixed or replaced and I tease her that it’s like Trigger’s broom.

Ingaa*: Werewolf!
Dr. Frederick Frankensteinn*: Werewolf?
Igorr*: There.
Dr. Frederick Frankensteinn*: What?
Igorr*: There, wolf. There, castle.
Dr. Frederick Frankensteinn*: Why are you talking that way?
Igorr*: I thought you wanted to.
Dr. Frederick Frankensteinn*: No, I don't want to.
Igorr*: [shrugs] Suit yourself. I'm easy.

Excuse the typos. I blame IMDB.

You're an inanimate fucking object!

The alcoves...is this the right word, alcoves? Nooks and crannies, yes!

I love In Bruges. Every line is gold.

Misfits
Nathan - you'd shag your sister for a slice of cheese.
Simon - I don't even like cheese.
Nathan - that's even worse you sick bastard

Preacher
Every time Cassidy says 'now there's three possible explanations here.'
I may be stoned but I'm not high.
Jaysus what kind of preacher are you?

Afterlife
I'm not a paedophile but if I was, you'd be safe you tubby ginger cunt (or words to that effect).

Anne in Dinnerladies: can you smell my Charlie? <referring to her perfume> gets quoted a lot in our house! Dinnerladies quotes are always great.

There was a Victoria Wood short film, can't remember what it was called, sadly. It had VW as an average woman, a bit mousey, looking for her long lost sister on an Oprah-type show, who turns out to be Julie Walters, a glam TV star. Julie Walters is described as 'a heat-seeking missile, in slingbacks' and it goes through my head every time I see those types of shoes! It's a great line.

Yes! It was called Pat and Margaret - loved that film. My friend and I still defiantly lick any croissant we get and shout 'I'm borderline hypoglycaemic - I need those croissants!' after Julie Walters in that.

BusySittingDown · 26/06/2022 20:56

Another Gavin and Stacey one:

When they're worried about Stacey meeting Gavin for the first time.
Gwen: He could be anyone, for all you know he could be a paedophile.
Stacey: Well if he was a paedophile he wouldn't be interested in me then!
