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!

“Be this… Putney?”

This thread is why mumsnet needs a like button. Pissing myself here.

Frasier, when Niles wakes up next to Lilith and realises he's slept with her.

Don't panic, these kinds of things happen every day... [increasing horror] every day in Arkansas!

Hot Fuzz: 'It's alright Andy, it's just bolognese' (complete with accent, every time something is spilled or there's a mark on something.

Faulty Towers: 'Que' (every time somebody isn't making any sense).

Chicken Run: 'I don't want to be a pie! I don't like gravy' (every time gravy or pie is mentioned).

Friends: 'Liiifft and sliiiide' and 'pivot' (whenever we are moving anything heavy).

'I'm off to study mechanical engineering.'
'I'm going on a gap yah.'
'I'm going to work in the city!'

The bit in How i met your mother when Robin gives Lily a vibrator and swaps the presents 'Robin could never quite explain why she did this' Grin her facial expressions are brilliant throughout!
'Can I have the wine?'
'...no.'

Moira in Schitt's Creek: "John, what is the bébé doing?" also Alexis's dance to 'A Little Bit Alexis'

PhoneShop is criminally underrated: "A OWL?!?" and the whole White Man Reggae Club episode

What we do in the shadows (film): "I am doing an erotic dance for my friends"

Absolutely Fabulous - Jane Horrocks' character: "I've been headshrunk! By VOGUE..."

“Who is Beverly Macca?” Bloody love the Royle Family especially Nana

RoseLunarPink · 29/06/2022 12:53

Oh another Nana Royle one - when they have a vegetarian round who can't have ham, so Nana asks "Can she have WAFER THIM ham Barbara?"

LadyEloise1 · 29/06/2022 14:02

I love the Royle Family too.
God I miss Caroline Aherne- she was so talented - died far too young Sad
As did Dermot Morgan aka Fr Ted.
He was so talented.
I was lucky enough to see him do a live show in a smallish venue before he got famous ( in Ireland ).
Soooo funny.
He did a satirical radio show on our equivalent in Ireland of Radio 4.
Absolutely brilliant.

"Malibu Barrie sounds fkn hilarious"

"Put the mouse back in the house"

Brilliant delivery on that line

shadypines · 29/06/2022 20:53

I'll throw in a Golden Girls one:-
Sophia (said to her daughter Dorothy, who was always the whipping boy)
"Jealousy is an ugly thing pussycat..
..and so are you in anything backless"

Ishacoco · 29/06/2022 23:44

"Oh you're German! I thought there was something wrong with you."

Fawlty Towers.

Uncle Bryn, explaining Dick Powell's ridiculously cheap barbeque range in Gavin and Stacey...'fallen off the back of a lorry? They haven't fallen off the back of a lorry Mick, they've been stolen!'

Alan Patridge's breakdown 'I drove to Dundee, Lynn, in my bare feet.

PennineWayinSlingbacks · 30/06/2022 07:32

And a new festive one from Motherland

'It's Christmas Eeeeve, Geoff'

Floydthebarber · 30/06/2022 07:58

Yes, Phoneshop! Such a good programme!

"You. You. shithouses!"

WildWombat · 30/06/2022 08:03

"Bunny's in his bunk kipping furiously, dreaming about bunny girls, and doesn't wish to be disturbed until he gets to Paddington." And "THREE BLOODY YEARS!" from the Likely Lads.

Dinnerladies is comedy genius. Impossible to pick one.
"Oh I thought it were a job: turkey baster."
"Have you got anything for intestines? Oh I'll just have a black coffee then." 🤣

And pretty much every line from Blackadder.
"Morning, Doncaster!"
"If I have two beans and I add two more beans, what would that make?"..."A very small casserole."

bellinisurge · 30/06/2022 08:12

That would be an ecumenical matter. Maybe I like the misery.

Basically the entire script of any Father Ted episode

Roystonv · 30/06/2022 08:21

Airplane 'Yes I am and don't call me Shirley" oft repeated in our house

SpaghettiNotCourgetti · 30/06/2022 09:57

'Lisa! In this house we obey the laws of thermodynamics!'

'You don't win friends with salad!'

There's a Simpsons quote for almost any eventuality, tbh.
