to still be smiling at this ages after I heard it?

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

The IT crowd when they are at the football match and Moss is commentating that while scene creases me.

Lots but sadly I have nobody who understands them any more. But dh is very kind and giggles along with me even though he doesn't get it, but it's not the same [sadface]

At any moment of achievement, obviously 'You're my wife now Dave'

At any moment of financial saving or being a bit mean; from the Goons in a cod Scottish accent 'Come warm yourself at this roaring candle' (Sellers as Bloodnok) 'Here is a fiver - in used stamps'

At any moment of overblown ambition - Fry and Laurie in deliberately terrible American accent 'it would put Uttoxeter on the goddamn map once and for all'

At any moment of not giving a toss about earnest political concerns 'It's bloody delicious' which is a quote from the Goodies about why the dodo became extinct

Loving all of these... "I hate you"

Oh! Also the Acorn Antiques musical:
Have a fcking custard cream and shut the fck up

Doubletrouble42 · 10/12/2017 20:07

Also father Ted for me. Not dialogue but the bit where Mrs doyle falls over really lengthily whilst hanging up Xmas decorations. I thought about it the other day while putting ours up and properly cracked up.

Monty Python: It's Bicycle Repair Man.

Oh, and the IT Crowd on Dragon's Den when they are trying to get investment for a bra hold it up saying they need £40,000 and it bursts into flames!

Lastly, in Motherland when Julia takes a sip of the poisonous punch at the school fundraiser - the look on her face!

Tortycat · 10/12/2017 20:18

Spangles - my fave fawlty towers is the mrs richards episode - has me howling every time! 'What did you expect to see out of a Torquay bedroom window? Herds of wildebeest sweeping across the Serengeti?!'

Booboo66 · 10/12/2017 20:23

Gary tank commander. A few of them, bit his sketches about cheesy pasta, Greggs and nuclear weapons make me LOL every time I think about them Grin

'The Memories Live On' (aka 'Fremony at the Library') - the worst typesetting disaster of all time - made me laugh so hard I literally saw stars.

The IT Crowd, when Moss and Roy try to discuss football:

'See that ludicrous display last night?'

'The thing about Arsenal is, they always try to walk it in.'

My sister and I both find “you’re just a fakey cake maker and I ain’t got time for you-hooooo” inexplicably hilarious and call the other one a fakey cake maker often. Also when Paris/France in general comes up it’s always followed by “where patisseries stay open as late as 11 am”. Both Reeves and Mortimer.

Teenage niece and I giggle at lots of Inbetweeners bits, ‘what is Swansea is it an animal’, Simon’s trying to impress a girl with the story of going to see Take That with his mum, and the whole ‘when you think about it everything’s drugs, yeah beer, dispirin, coffee, trainers, chicken nuggets, trainers’ get texted back and forth between us quite a lot.

Smithy on Gavin and Stacey about his girlfriend ‘17 and three quarters actually and she got 90% on her driving theory and her test is in two weeks but whatever’.

Does anyone remember the Armstrong and miller sketch where they unveiled the new olympics logo and one of the described it as "a bit bumsexy"? I howled.

doctorcuntybollocks · 10/12/2017 20:53

This scene in Billy Liar:

LaurieF · 10/12/2017 21:00

Little known comedian called Daniel Simonson. Does a sketch where he goes to the bank but it was closed, says it would be better if it was open and something funny happened but no it was closed. All done in a Norwegian accent. Think you have to watch it to get the gist but everytime my husband calls me to say I've just been to the bank (most days with his job) I collapse in fits of giggles!

YouTheCat · 10/12/2017 21:03

Compost, 'This is the face of Jeeezuz. See how his eyes are lovely and open'. Grin You might enjoy the Athletico Mince pod casts.

Does anyone remember Absolutely from Ch4 late Friday nights in the 90s?

Denzel, why do a hoover suck?
Because it hasn't got any teeth Gwyneth.

starkid · 10/12/2017 21:30

Just remembered something else I always laugh to myself about! From the Drunk History episode about Henry VIII getting his friend to scope out Anne of Cleves first, narrated by Rob Beckett. My partner and I often quote it:

Beckett: Brown says 'she's quality, you're gonna love her.' then he f*ks off! He's like 'I'm going to fking Ibiza for the season'... What could he do? He kills his wives! He can't go 'Henry, I've seen her... retches * '

Honestly if you haven't seen it here's the link, it's brilliant (in 2 parts)

I do! Didn't think anyone else remembered it Calum Gilhooley and his bi-sexual anorak. Grin

your mother was a snow blower
That reminds me of the French taunters:
"Your muzzer was a hamster and your father smelled of... Elderberries!"

annandale · 10/12/2017 21:36

Ahhhhh Rosie... more things I say to tumbleweed in our house.

Welcome to Stoneybridge!
Stop Ab-ergavennying about.
Why are you asking me all these questions Gwyneth? Are you going on Mastermind? I don't think so.
I will report it to The Authorities. Hello? Is that The Authorities?

SuffolkNWhat · 10/12/2017 22:03

A radio one:

The whole Martin Du Creffe french accent part in Cabin Pressure (Qikiqtarjuaq). La bear polar, jumped away on ze pogo stick.

Lovely mention at the end of Zurich too.

Composteleana · 10/12/2017 22:11

YouTheCat Grin Just remembered curly wurlies always make me giggle too as they’re ‘too elaborate’.

I’ve been on the hunt for a new podcast, will give it a listen thank you x
