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!

Also, not TV/Film but I like Bill Hicks' Looks like we got ourselves a reader bit, particularly "Like I turned up to a Klan rally in a Boy George outfit".

"Shit on it"
"Breast implants and a dyson" (royle family Christmas special).

Airplane, 1980.

Captain, how soon can you land ?
I can't tell.
You can tell me, I'm a doctor.
No, I mean I'm just not sure.
Well, can't you take a guess ?
Well, not for another two hours.
You can't take a guess for another two hours ?
No, I mean we can't land for another two hours. Fog has closed down everything this side of the Rockies, we've got to get through to Chicago.

George doing an impression of Bailey before he tells her he enlisted. It's so spot on "what did you do"!

My favourite one ever was in Motherland when Amanda was trying to put Anne down and asked what she did before having her children and she replied I was a production development designer for Glaxo Kline Europe. 😀

I love this too!
“I’m sure you worked in Greggs, Anne. Didn’t you work in Greggs?”
😂

I loved Blanche (Deirdre's Mother) in Coronation Street for her one liners... Liz McDonald who was Deirdre's best friend was staying with them for a while... Liz comes down the stairs to Deirdre and Blanche (who are sitting at the kitchen table) all dressed up ready for a night out in her usual short skirt, low top and loads of makeup...

Liz: how do I look?

Blanche (looking serious): prostitute!

Deirdre: Mother!

Bruce Almighty.... "smite me ohh mighty smiter" makes us all crease up
And the fast show ... "Stuck in a hole in a fog in the middle of the night - WITH AN OWL? " every time anyone points out a hole, or fog...
"WITH AN OWL?" ensues...

ChinBristles · 26/06/2022 22:18

Oh yeah, Blanche was great
"he's a HOMO-SEXUALLLL!"

MixingPopAndPolitics · 26/06/2022 22:27

Monica in Friends when she has humidity hair

"Phoebe, I need to tell you something"

"Are you leaving the Supremes?"

Most quoted lines in the Pop house

"Two minutes Turkish"

"Oh Gwen, what's your beef? Sorry Pam, tofu" said to the dogs when they're barking

Pleasecreateausername · 26/06/2022 22:32

Stove.... are you an appliance?

60% of the time, it works every time.

ThickCutSteakChips · 26/06/2022 22:32

Lynn, these are sex people!

Caminante · 26/06/2022 22:32

Michael Scott (The Office) talking about a certain wine "It has an oaky afterbirth".

ThickCutSteakChips · 26/06/2022 22:34

'Gareth, ultimate fantasy?'

'Two lesbians, sisters probably, I'm just watching'.

Mrssophie · 26/06/2022 22:40

Love the Gavin and Stacey's ones.

Car share has some fab ones
"8000 views now I've gone bloody viral"
"Kuso-Debo!" "Who you calling a fat shit"
Kayleigh when drunk getting in the car "I forgot to put my feet in"

Royle family:
Barb "last night your dad sat right bolt up in the middle of the night all of a sudden"
Denise "aw was he dreaming"
Barb "nooo...he thought he'd left the immersion on" 😂

ThackeryBinks · 26/06/2022 22:42

Winston in Still Game, " I run a tight ship not a shite tip"

Girliefriendlikespuppies · 26/06/2022 22:58

Derry girls gets quoted a lot here.

Michelle to the year 7 on the back of the bus 'we'll beat you up'

Any argument in our house ends with someone saying 'well I'll beat you up then'

You kind of have to know Derry Girls to know what it's funny.

I also love Ice Age, a few of Sids lines crack me up every time.

'I'm not exactly lactating right now pal' 🤣

CindyToffipop · 26/06/2022 23:01

Jez from Peep Show - I’m bored, dangerously bored (sums up my entire childhood!)

The Driscoll Brothers on Only Fools and Horses talking about how their father worked for a pittance at a stables - for a shilling a day and a horseshit sandwich!

Blackadder ll - needs must when the devil vomits into your kettle (my mantra for life!)

Alan Partridge to Lynne on the phone to his ex wife - just call her a fat cow and hang up!

So many more great lines that will occur to me in the dead of night…

AgentMagenta · 26/06/2022 23:06

You saved my life. She was trying to set me on fire 😐

  • from Anchorman 2

Probably useless without the context! 😆

A Laser beam is rapidly approaching James Bond’s crotch.
”Do you expect me to talk?!”
Goldfinger: “ No, Mr. Bond. I expect you to DIE!!!!”

ShirleyJackson · 27/06/2022 06:52

From Schitt’s Creek- “How do you fold cheese?”

PlumpkinPete · 27/06/2022 20:45

Ones that get quoted a lot here... Fresh meat, "I think you'll find that's legal tender"

Also randomly if anyone is talking about fish (on MasterChef or something) "but Oregon, I've cooked a whole turbot!"

Red dwarf, "if I don't nap 5 or 6 times a day, I don't have enough energy for my main snooze!"

when Lister is accidentally eating a maggot-filled strawberry, "funny sort of wriggly texture"

IT Crowd, "I'll just put this over here with the rest of the fire"

lugeforlife · 27/06/2022 20:55

My favourite dinner ladies quote is 'have you seen my Clint'.

Another V Wood line I love is 'my body is a temple. I say temple, could have said garden centre. They're very popular in a Sunday'

You have a woman's bottom from Blackadder 2

Dan (Alan partridge). I cry with laughter, DH just doesn't get it,

ShirleyJackson · 27/06/2022 21:27

Alan Partridge having sex:

“Do you mind if I talk? It helps me keep the wolf from the door, so to speak. Jill, what do you think of the pedestrianization of Norwich city centre? I'll be honest, I'm dead against it. I mean, people forget that traders need access to DIXONS! They do say it'll help people in wheeeelchairs.

I couldn’t breathe watching this the first time. And every time since, actually 😂
