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!”

Generally Red Dwarf ("It's quite straightforward", Holly Hop drive style).
Detectorists (often many things to do with the invisible dogs).
IT Crowd ("Did you see that ludicrous display last night? The trouble with Arsenal is, they think they can walk it in")
Phoenix Nights ("Stranraaaaaer?" "They're a Right Said Fred Tribute Band, Jerry, of course they're not busy").
and The Thick of It or Yes Minister.

Frequently call my DH Papa Lazarou

Just too many to mention- but it's so visual too so sometimes its just a pushed up nose or slow lick of the lips....doubt it'll ever be seen again on mainstream TV so thank God for YouTube

I think DH and I converse mostly via the medium of tv/film quotes:

What We Do in the Shadows:
"A nice Chinese meal?"
"New York Citaaay"
"Tuscon Arizoniaaaaaah" - made funnier because MIL lives there
"BAT" similarly funny not really as we have a million of the buggers in our barn that occasionally fly into our house...
And the Wedding Night song when I start singing, trying and failing to emulate Nadja's warbling falsetto.

Fire Saga:
"Be cool man, be a cool guy"
"The elves went too faaaaar" when something has gone spectacularly wrong
"Crazy Sexy Time" and "You are most exciting woman" all said in Dan Steven's excellent Russian accent
"Nobody likes UK so, zero pois" said a fair bit right now in response to Trump's attacks on the UK. You have to laugh...

Still Game:
"Naw I hav'nee"
"Naw he does'nee"
The Slosh! Crack up every time I see that 😁
