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!”

DH and have moved house a lot and renovated old properties then moved on. A favourite when something goes wrong is “you’re only supposed to blow the bl**dy doors off!”
I also like “PIVOT” when we are moving furniture in an awkward place but DH never watched Friends so I just shout it and laugh whilst he looks confused 🤣

Love this thread!
Lots of these but the ‘only supposed to blow bloody doors off’ is used by us in so many situations 😂😂😂😂
(off topic but was talking to a friend who has just started a relationship with someone from another country and age group, and is these references that just don’t work )

Four candles - oh yes! 😂😂😂

Not TV, but in a thread on here many years ago, a teacher referred to the girls all having ‘a pencil case the size of Jupiter’ so we often reference thousands on that scale 😀

HappilyFreeNow · 16/03/2026 12:26

Items, not thousands!

Polka Dot shorts "Coincidence, I think not"

Father Ted. That'll be an ecumenical matter.
I've said that far too many times to people who just never watched it.

Yay - someone else who remembers Polka Dot Shorts.😀
