... 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!

I hope you've never had a Stonehenge moment!

I once ordered a multipack of mineral water as part of an online supermarket shop. 100% meant to buy the 2-litre bottles, but when I saw it (my DP had taken it in and left it in the kitchen) I'd mistakenly ordered the tiny individual ones. I definitely felt like I was in Spinal Tap Grin

Loved the Stonehenge moment and Janine 😆

Another quote I use is, "He wrote this" from Tap. It's used when someone does something rubbish that I don't want to be associated with.
RIP Derek Smalls

🤣🤣More Spinal Tap....

The patron saint of quality footwear.

It's in Dobly

He does in a mysterious gardening accident.

He choked on vomit but it was someone else's vomit.

Made our week when our drummer had to be replaced at the last minute due to a bizarre gardening accident.

He fancied some woman who had started coming to every gig, offered to cut her Mum's hedge for her, got a bit carried away and started - I'm not taking the piss here - trimming her a bush, there was a freak lightning strike that hit a tree at the bottom of her massive garden, he jumped and the hedge trimmer bounced off two clumps + the ground when he understandably dropped it and chopped off the top of his finger, which had to be reattached in quite a lengthy operation.

He'd always been (logically enough) on time and reliable as clockwork, so we knew there had to have been a massive problem for him to have been in hospital, went to see him and his hand was completely obscured by a massive bandage. He really didn't want to tell us how it happened, but the morphine got the better of him and we looked so worried.

We promptly fell about laughing.

OK, maybe not our week.

It made our year.

It was Cadbury's Roses that you said "Thank you very much" with. I can't think of a jingle that went along with Quality Street. I do know that it's "all because the lady loves....Milk Tray" though 😄

You're right, it was Roses with the Thank You Very Much.I think Quality Street was Magic Moments.

Well, the Christmas advert was anyway - I seem to remember a bloke stood on the doorstep singing in the snow.

”More intensity”
”If you need it and don’t have it you’ll sing a different tune”
”Another glorious day in the corp”
”Run, go, get to da chopper”
”Stupidity leak!”
”Green? Super green”
”I am a meat popsicle”
”Where’s the tylanol?”

Does anyone know if this phrase is from a TV show?

“Come in number 23, your time is up!”

(The number might have varied)

Hi hi

I think it's from the church fair in Hot Fuzz, foreshadowing Tim Messenger's demise?

Conniethecatapillar · 26/02/2025 21:51

Damn. Fine. Coffee 😀

@MonkeyTennis34 pretty sure Harry shearer (Derek smalls) is still around ?

"Ugh - as if!"

"FOOL of a Took!"

"W h y is no one reaaaadyy..." and "By all means, move at a glacial place - you know how that thrills me." (Two lines and I don't even particularly like this film!)

"I was eloquent. SHIT!"

"I'm adjusted."

”I can't help thinking that at some point someone is going to produce a piglet and we'll all have to chase it.” (I only say this in my head, when I’m feeling very mean and judgmental, but you can probably see the quotation in my facial expression.)

They're dead Dave. They're all dead Dave.

This is an ex-whatever. It has ceased to be.

I think all of ours may be a bit dark!

Tell me about it....stud

I hear you're a racist Ted.

ThePoshUns · 27/02/2025 07:42

Great story @NeverDropYourMooncup sounds like you have the best job.
Good to know I'm not the only Tap fan here.

BeaAndBen · 27/02/2025 09:40

“I was eloquent. SHIT!"

@evtheria - I think we could possibly do a whole list on Tom Hanks movies alone

“There’s no crying in baseball” will always make the top ten but Toy Story has got to be good for a few, plus Apollo 13 and the rom coms

Laughingravy · 27/02/2025 12:36

Garlic and bread? Garlic bread?
Tin hats everybody - from Battle of Britain - when trouble's on its way
The boys a fool - from Dads Army and aimed at the teenager here
We're going to need a bigger (boat) - usually referring to a gardening implement
Oh Matron! from Carry ons when a double entendre is used

"About as much use as knickers on an avocado "

If someone tells me something disgusting or TMI:
"Too much information, Joan! I'm eating a Nutrigrain, you dirty bitch!" Peter Kay.

Grin Where is this from?
I've now got a mental image of an avocado in some frill knickers. It's oddly cute.

Loads from Up, mostly Doug quotes:

I can smell you!

I have just met you, and I love you!

He wears The Cone Of Shame!

I have seen The Bird!

I am old, and infirm [wiggly "infirm" hands]

Can I help you cross the street? Can I help you cross...your yard?

I am a wilderness explorer, the wilderness must be EXPLORED! Kakaaw!

South America, it's like America, but SOUTH!

I wonder if James Callis (Tom in Bridget Jones) knows how many women say "Come the fuck ON, Bridget" regularly. Especially since loads of us probably have to say it in our heads when the kids are the cause listening.

If anyone knows him, please tell him 🤣
