For us, definitely Frasier.

Favourites include:

“Off you go…”

“Do I look like I scuba??”

”Fine! I guess I’ll just have to make my own tea!”

”I guess it must be too much to ask that there not be GUN PLAY in my living room!”

Blackadder 'we/I definitely did not kill that delicious plump-breasted pigeon'

'why do nice girls hate me?!'

Red Dwarf 'I would do, but the King of the Potato People won't let me' (often used by DD when I ask her to do a chore)

Miracle on 34th Street 'this feels like a pointless exercise Brian'
And in response from Buffy 'no it's totally pointy'

Peep show - mostly the Christmas episode “Think what it’s doing to the mechanism” and “hello, Christmas smoothie”

AppropriateAdult · 15/03/2026 14:00

Gavin & Stacey and The Office, mostly. Both eminently quotable.

marginallyawake · 15/03/2026 14:01

Hitchhiker’s Guide, Star Wars and Crocodile Dundee.

Probably Borat Grin Great success!

Other high-ranking references would be:
Inbetweeners
The Good Place
Father Ted
Fast Show
Monty Python

And, only one line, but incredibly frequently used at the moment is "''MERICA!" from Team America, because we use piss-taking as a coping mechanism.

GetOffTheCounter · 15/03/2026 14:03

For us it's The Big Bang theory

'How do you know that? .. 'Because I go outside and talk to people'.

'25 cats'

'I'll say nothing but secretly judge you'... 'How very Christian of you'

🤣 I say this too! Nobody ever recognises it though!!

We like to use "8 is a lot of legs, David" whenever we're moaning about how hard something we've done was. 😂

and yes to “where the fuck is my fucking coat” and “eight is a lot of legs David” as well as “Ant or Dec” instead of Ant and Dec

"10 minutes Turkish"

Said most nights when dinner is almost ready.

"It was two minutes five minutes ago"

Most quoted for us is Spaced/Hot Fuzz

"Just a tenner"
"You've got red on you"
"Actually IN the bed"
"Just the one swan, actually"
"I've got some fucking jaffa cakes in my coat pocket"
"Skip to the end"

ThatGreenFawn · 15/03/2026 14:15
