A trailer for the tv comedy Gameface had the line which went something like "Don't pick up the cat. He's just eaten a kebab." This was on tv weeks ago and I still break into a smile when I think of it. AIBU to ask this or just slightly doolally but what other one liners from comedy programmes do people still find funny no matter how many times they hear it or how long ago it was last on tv? Another one that springs to my crazy mind is Basil Fawlty saying "Is this a piece of your brain" to the annoying woman who wouldn't turn her hearing aid on because it used up the batteries. Smile

OMG the puddle scene in 'The Vicar of Dibley'! I nearly wet myself laughing.

JamieFrasersMistress · 10/12/2017 18:47

This cracks me up every time. DH, who has no siblings doesn't get it:

melodycool · 10/12/2017 18:48

Not a comedy show, but a one-liner from Gino Dicampio on This Morning:
Holly tasting a pasta dish he'd made saying " If you added ham it would be a carbonara"
And Gino looking at her, dead-pan expression, says " and if you put wheels on my grandmother, she'd be a bicycle "
😂🤣😂

The Phantom Rasberry Blower of old London Town. When I hear anyone say 'Oi,I wanna word with you' I imagine them blowing a gigantic raspberry to conclude the sentence.

signandsingcarols · 10/12/2017 18:49

monty python; the holy grail, the bit with the holy hand grenade of antioch, where they say about how many to count to" the number of the couting shall be 3.... neither shall you count to 2 unless if be followed by 3,...4 is right out, ", that and the bit about the knights who say Ni... I am wiping my eyes now as I type having remembered it

Showing my age here "-he's fallen in the water"-Bluebottle in the Goons.

WholeLottaRoland · 10/12/2017 18:55

Yes, to Andrew Prevue and Glenda Jackson on Morcambe and Wise! My favourite ever and always cry with laughter just thinking about it! Also everything Bladder and local shops for local people. We also quote The Young Ones - every time anyone says anything remotely predictable 'There are as yet undiscovered tribes in the heart of the Peruvian jungle that knew you were going to say that', and all shopping lists contain lentils and wallpaper. In fact my youngest son (of course not knowing that it was a joke) wrote them on a shopping list as I was reading them out. Always makes me smile :)

Petrichery · 10/12/2017 18:56

No, Hodgesaargh is definitely in Lords and Ladies first, Spankhurst.

Anyway, i just remembered another one: The Goon Show (showing it’s age, but still use it updated whenever possible):
“I’ve just found this pound note”
“What colour is it?”
“Green.”
“IT’S MINE I TELL YOU!”

Ronnie Barker's 'News at Ten' sketch,where the letter 'e' had been replaced throughout with the letter 'o',due to a printing error.

cowshindtail · 10/12/2017 19:01

First ever episode of Porridge-"with these feet?"

Nervousrex · 10/12/2017 19:02

Very unmumsnetty to @cowshindtail

That, and "What can you see?"
"It's a glass eye."
"What's the matter, doesn't he trust you?"

"My name...is Bannister."
"Didn't I see you on the stairs?"

And from Hello Cheeky (slightly more recent, but only slightly - Radio 2 lunchtimes of old)

"Give me liberty, or give me death".
"Right then..."

One more, then I promise I'll shut up. From Hancock's Half Hour.

"Oh, shut up and put your trousers on."
"No! No, I want to be different!"

gonnabreakmyrustycage · 10/12/2017 19:08

Mine is from the Simpsons:

Spelling bee announcer: All right. Your word is weather / whether (??)
Third-place contestant: Which one? Can you use it in a sentence?
Spelling bee announcer: Certainly. "I don't know whether the weather will improve."
Third-place contestant: uhhh….W…E…. [buzzer goes]

Cows, my parents used to do Bluebottle and Eccles impressions. Very funny. Grin

Smithy’s speech about not sharing takeaways in Gavin and Stacey

theSnuffster · 10/12/2017 19:23

The vicar of dibley, when the vicar gets drunk forgetting that she is meant to be doing midnight mass 'oh... We're in pretty big trouble now.' Then Alice dunks her head in a bucket of water in an attempt to sober her up and she's singing 'oh I do like to be beside the seaside!'

Men behaving badly- Christmas episode, Gary is on the phone to his mum and says 'I got a Jackie from Dorothet.'

Loads from Friends... I wouldn't know where to start!

marymoosmum · 10/12/2017 19:25

Morecambe and Wise when Eric is looking out the window and the police car goes past. "He won't sell any ice cream going at that speed." Me and my Dad still say this when a police car goes past with sirens on.

MrsGrindah · 10/12/2017 19:26

Sandy Have you been eyeing up my bhunas?!

BarbaraOcumbungles · 10/12/2017 19:27

From the detectorists

What’s that, a porcupine?

Cagliostro · 10/12/2017 19:29

Shaun of the Dead. Shaun's step-dad saying the zombie bite is fine "it's OK I ran it under a cold tap" I don't know why but it gets me every time!

Loads of others here too. My DCs love Fawlty towers too and often quote it.

DingleBerries · 10/12/2017 19:30

@Barbara that was crap!

MarshaBradyo · 10/12/2017 19:31

Not old but the Quant part in The Big Short

So funny, even after a few times

churchilllounge · 10/12/2017 19:33

In As Time Goes By

Alasdair (planning wedding) 'what would you say to a marching band?'

Lionel 'shut up and stop marching'.

marymoosmum · 10/12/2017 19:36

The episode of The Big Bang Theory when Howard builds a toilet for the space station and he finds out after it has been installed that it throws everything back at high speed after so many flushes. Me and my DH were in tears watching that.
Also not really a comedy but The Chase with Fanny Chmelar. Grin
