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!”

Blues Brothers: We have all types of music here - Country AND Western.
Forrest Gump: Run, Forrest, run.
Chuckle Brothers To me, to you (at least once a week!)
Friends: Joey doesn't share food.

Gavin and Stacey - "It's the drama Mick"

Father Ted

Manifestsleep · 16/03/2026 19:09

Definitely the Simpsons; "Save me Jebus" and "Smell ya later" get used a lot!

PGmicstand · 16/03/2026 19:15

Quite a few:
Ghosts (BBC version), Our Flag Means Death, Friday Night Dinner, Monty Python, Blackadder, Elf and Labyrinth.

Yes, that gets said a lot here as well.

Scorchio!!

Oh dear, how sad, never mind.

They don't like it up 'em Mr Mainwaring.

Just the one, Mrs Wembley?

Don't look, Ethel! - from a song called The Streak by Ray Stevens, so not sure if it counts.

Brace yourself Rodney...

Ha ha yes this is my current favourite when DD is bothering me!

It is not possible in this house for someone to say 'It's cold outside' without one of us responding 'There's no kind of atmosphere'.

ticktock19 · 16/03/2026 22:05

Lots from Bridget Jones and also Shirley Valentine too plus Phoenix Nights, Max and Paddy and Alan Partridge

MrsMoastyToasty · 16/03/2026 22:12

The Mary Whitehouse Experience:
"That's you that is."
"Me? The 13th Duke of Weybourne? With my reputation?. Oh God!."
"Milky Milky!"

Gribouille · 16/03/2026 22:14

Loads of Python, pretty much all of Young Frankenstein, Withnail, and Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy... I guess our minds are just too highly trained... 😉

And a rare Welsh one: 'I don't know what to say' - from the 'Our House' sketch in Ryan and Ronnie...

EmeraldDreams73 · 16/03/2026 22:21

Friday Night Dinner - "Shit on it!" among many other lines!

Inbetweeners (series and films) - every time I'm driving with dd2, one of us will shout "Duh! Give way to the fucking left" for a start.

Almost every line of Gavin & Stacey is also used regularly.

Plus bits of Only Fools and Friends, but first 3 are definitely the main ones.

Gavin and Stacey here.

Oh my Christ, ours too!

JazzyAmbs · 16/03/2026 22:55

Forest Gump “Stupid is as stupid does”

Gavin & Stacey “it’s the talk of the town” (generally when our street WhatsApp goes off!)

Kickinthenostalgia · 16/03/2026 23:01

Pitch perfect is a family favourite. Dd13 has watched it countless times over the last few weeks.
most of us love Harry Potter too.
Little Britain, Catherine Tate get quotes a lot in our house. Goodness gracious me, all the old 90’s/00’s comedy’s.

HiGunny · 17/03/2026 00:07

Zoolander.
It's IN the computer...
He's just really really good looking
Derelicte
And when anyone is coughing...*feeble cough, cough...it's the black lung...

And Elf, I embarrass my kids by doing variations renditions of "I'm singing, I'm singing a song..."

Oh and Firesaga, "Play Ja ja ding dong"

Ownedbykitties · 17/03/2026 00:20

The Devil Wears Prada
"by all means move at a glacial pace. You know how it thrills me."
"Well that was before she became an incubus for the plaque."
"I have Patrick!"
"find that piece of paper I had in my hand yesterday."
"That's all."

Strokethefurrywall · 17/03/2026 00:29

In our house too!

Obliv · 17/03/2026 00:42

“Some of us LOVE the misery” (making tea)

-Elf

Two minutes Turkish

Are those Lancashire pigs? (DC far too you to have seen this but now say this line anytime we drive past pigs or go to a petting zoo)

D’ye like dags?

No Turkish, I’m sweet enough

Do you know what nemesis is?

It came from a funny angle (if bump anything at any point of the day)

Actually, I think we just talk in Snatch quotes at this point as most of these lead to the next lines too and if anything is lost then the whole “we’ve lost Gorgeous George” starts up.
