... it's ingrained into your family vocabulary?

This morning: "Porridge today Gromit.
It's Tuesday".

Other favourites: "Where's the salad? Where's the salad?"

"That'll do Pig, that'll do..."

We have so many in our family!

"That'll do Pig, that'll do..."
Same!

"Come the fuck on Bridget" for anything working slowly.

"You can never go home Oatman, but I guess you can shop there"

"You've got red on you"

HorrorFan81 · 25/02/2025 08:15

Another one for 'you've got red on you'

'Just the one swan actually'

'I'm feeling a little woozy here'

'Goddam prairie dog burrows'

'That's what she said'

'Damnit Carl'

'THAT'S NOT EVEN A WORD'

Violashifts · 25/02/2025 08:16

If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all.

Queenofparcels · 25/02/2025 08:29

"Make him an offer he can't refuse"

"Elementary my dear Watson" which sometimes gets abbreviated to "No shit, Sherlock?"

"Houston, we have a problem"

"I'll have what she's having !"

"May the force go with you !"

Talisin · 25/02/2025 08:33

‘If the apocalypse comes, beep me!’

Of course you do have to be old enough to remember pagers for that to make any sense.

LunaNorth · 25/02/2025 08:34

It’s the drama, Mick, I love it.

Piss the piss off.

Don’t tell him, Pike.

Woman, Stanley. Woman.

You’re a better man than I am, Gunga Din.

Patrick, your genius is showing.

Shaddap, and drink yer gin.

Difficult, difficult, lemon difficult.

FuckoffeeBeforeCoffee · 25/02/2025 08:42

"You can do it, Bruce!"

BeaAndBen · 25/02/2025 08:44

Also “difficult, difficult, lemon difficult” - it’s a great one.

”Tell me I never have to be out there again”
”You’re right, you’re right, I know you’re right “
Some day” - in anguished tones of Sally about turning 40, used about anything unpleasant looming in the future

”You are a sad, strange little man. And you have my pity.”

”Shark’s in the water. Our shark” (must be in a terrible impression of Quint’s accent)

”Shark’s in the salsa”

PuppyMonkey · 25/02/2025 08:45

Life finds a way.

ChippySauce · 25/02/2025 10:53

Oh yes - definitely "Come the fuck on Bridget!"😁

Also "We're gonna need a bigger boat car/bag/portion of chips/whatever is applicable to the situation"

"Burn rubber" from The Lost Boys

"Wax on, wax off"

You're terrible Muriel

TabloidFootprints · 25/02/2025 11:02

"They're only noodles Michael"
So many from Cabin Pressure, which I know isn't TV or film but still.
"It is a word we 'ave borrowed from your lang-waage"
"Look at my hat!" "very nice"
"I KNEW it was you!"
"We could go to XX,, I believe people do"
"Such a waste! Such a terrible waste!"

BigFatLiar · 25/02/2025 11:02

I'll be back

Open pod bay doors HAL

I'm sorry dave, I can't do that

Finished with engines number 1

HorrorFan81 · 25/02/2025 11:15

ssd · 25/02/2025 10:56

You're terrible Muriel

Oh yes I do this one too

Also forgot:

'What watch? 10 watch. Such watch.'

Always 'I'll be back' in a terrible accent

'I'll be right back!!' In an overly dramatic way

JoyousEagle · 25/02/2025 11:19

"Come the fuck on Bridget"

"Where the fuck is my fucking coat" whenever I can't find something.

Obviously "pivot!" if any furniture needs moving.

"What, from 'ere?" from Porridge, if anyone asks for their glass to be filled up.

womanjustwanttohavefun · 25/02/2025 11:26

Knife! From tangled

Just the one Mrs Wembley - can't remember what this off from actually

Squirrel! From up

Lovely bit of squirrel - FND

Calm down dear it's only a commercial

We also quote random strangers we've overheard quite a bit a favourite being
Shut up! I'm not doing this today

ZookeeperSE · 25/02/2025 11:27

Also That’ll do Pig, that’ll do
It’s all the drama Mick, I just love it
and obviously ‘Pivot!’ - we seem to move furniture around a lot 🤷‍♀️
You’re my wife now, Dave (for any reason)
Let’s Boo Boo (when leaving)
PolicemanOfficer (whenever there’s police or police cars)
Feeemaales (said in Martin’s voice 😔)

Spottylittledog · 25/02/2025 11:29

Yada yada yada
NO SOUP FOR YOU!
