And many many more.

You can’t drink a toast with water.
They’re not here. (Gary Oldman, thinking he’s retrieved the stones)
I know this music. (Gary Oldman when his bomb sets off the alarm on the ship)
It was an ambush. (Unexpected occurrence)
Super green.
The stones are in me.
It’s not bizarre, it’s the divine language.
Dot (there it is, the Fifth Element spots the relevant planet on the screen)

I could probably quote the entire film. We use lots of the dialogue in various situations.

Monty Python Life of Brian - Mandy's quotes fit in very nicely for many occasions

Well, what are you doing creeping around a cow shed at two o'clock in the morning? That doesn't sound very wise to me.

Is this some kind of joke?

Homage? You're all drunk. It's disgusting. Out! The lot, out!

Or led by a bottle, more like. Go on. Out!

A balm? What are you giving him a balm for? It might bite him.

That's a dangerous animal. Quick! Throw it in the trough.

Aww, there is an animal called a balm,... or did I dream it? So, you're astrologers, are you? Well, what is he then?

And that's Capricorn, is it?

Last Kingdom: Sink the bastard boat, Shield Wall, the bastard thinks, Destiny is All. It seems you swallowed another wasp. Arseling. Better than Barley.

Wentworth: You fucked the wrong lunatic.

Dexter: (Debra) Fuck off and die then die again. Or A metric fuck ton of … whatever

Anything from Brooklyn 99, but the most quoted phrase is “like a glove” from Ace Ventura whenever anything fits or works out
first time.

‘You never let me do anything cool!’ is said at least once a week in this house.

bananaboats · 27/03/2026 14:01

Still Game, Peep Show, Father Ted & The US Office here!

LambriniBobInIsleworthISeesYa · 27/03/2026 14:50

Here We Go is a show that we’ve taken to our hearts as a family. There are so many lines that we use in our day to day life now… I really think that the show will go down as one of those classic British sitcoms in the future.

henlake7 · 27/03/2026 14:57

Hard/weird to quote things when you live alone!😄
But I do favour The League of Gentlemen when conversing with the dog!
'you're my wife now, Dave' (sadly he isnt called Dave)
also 'lets Go Johnny, Go, Go, Go, Go!'

Tell Dave your dog "It's a Real Good Treat oomph " in a Herr Lipp voice

(One of my DD favourite phrases )

And "It's a Saga"

The dog will be right on board or think you're bonkers Grin

Curlygirl06 · 27/03/2026 16:35

Mange tout, Rodney? Every time we have peas.
Chuckle brothers, to me, to you.
Pivot! Although my dh never watched Friends so that's lost on him.

Every time the film Dancing with Wolves is on we have to say the following-
You dancing?
You asking?
I'm asking.
I'm dancing. And then we laugh and laugh and laugh.
My ex husband once asked me what the film was about, I said the above and ex dh got very snooty, said if I didn't know what the film was about then just say so and don't try and be funny. Makes me smile just thinking about it.

ThymeAndTide · 27/03/2026 16:38

Black Books and Father Ted feature frequently.

Father Ted, by a mile.

“Small…. Far away…”
”Down with this sort of thing”
”Careful now”
”You big hairy arse, you big bastard, you big fecker, I’ll stick this pitchfork up your hole…”

Ride me sideways...That was another one!
