Anyone up for a fun challenge? Need to find funny quotes for dc in GCSE

I plan to actually make the effort myself here but it's a fun task so tje more the merrier!

Dd starts GCSEs next week, getting a bit frazzled. She takes a small packed lunch to school as a fussy eater with other bits going on.

My pkan is each day to put a post it note with a quote from a film (or TV series) that is funny to cheer her up and if she do wishes she can try to work out where it is from. I'm not wanting it to be schmaltzy or aspirational as she is getting lots of encouragement etc at home, this is jyst a daft tjing to make her laugh, so it can be funny and if necc a (but) edgy for a teen.

So, any suggestions? All contributions welcome!

So far I've got "Jesus Christ!" from. The Holy Grail so I'm not doing too well.. Got a bit of a mental block. 😂

I think we should call it "your grave!".
