AIBU?

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

I'm not sure this was even meant to be funny but when the Filch in Harry Potter is bemoaning that kids are no longer locked in the dungeons and says wistfully 'God, I miss the screaming', the line was just so perfectly delivered!

Oh Father Ted! What a genius. Grin

Almost everything Terry Pratchett wrote.

Father Ted when Mrs Doyle is trying to get him to have a cake and she says "there's cocaine in it!" Teds reaction! I laugh so much even though seen it 100 times.
Also father Ted when they're playing cluedo. "Reverend green in the dining room with the lead pipe" Ted says "Ah, those Protestants, up to no good as usual". I can't even type it without laughing!

Not so much lines but in Only Fools where Del Boy and Trigger are in a bar and Del says “be cool Trig” and then falls sideways behind the bar.

And the Alan Partridge clip where he is trying to get the attention of a friend who is ignoring him, and he just keeps shouting “Dan, Dan, Dan, Dan” for about five minutes 😆.

Nah stuff like this is great. If something makes you grin so hard your face hurts, then grin about it and think of it as much as you want. Being happy can be hard right now. I'm glad you have something that does that for you. Grin

We quote the Father Ted 'small; far away' sketch all the time. And also the Mitchell and Webb one 'Are we the baddies?'

Vic & Bob's Catterick (which wasn't as funny as their other stuff)
Vic says to Bob
"What are you thinking about?"
Plays out a long scene of what Bob is thinking about, ending with a swan on a wheelchair. Bob says
"Nothing"
Made me chuckle for months.

Always laugh out loud thinking of Alan Partridge shouting “No way mate, you’re a mentalist!” To his stalker, then rubbing away and ending up in a corn field trying to flee.

Alan Partridge is always bloody hilarious. I regularly leave a room by announcing, 'I'm leaving you, you cow!' Grin

Also Father Ted offering Jack a glass of brandy to prove that he can hear fine when he wants to Grin

Little Britain where Andy and Lou go for a stroll in the park. They stop, Lou is distracted and Andy climbs a tree. Lou asks him how he got up there and Andy says "I fell".

When Alan Partridge is having sex,

'Do you mind if I talk? It helps me keep the wolf from the door, so to speak. Jill, what do you think of the pedestrianization of Norwich city centre? I'll be honest, I'm dead against it. I mean, people forget that traders need access to DIXONS! They do say it'll help people in wheeeelchairs.'

The IT Crowd when Roy's souped-up phone goes off in the middle of a funeral and he thinks he's having a heart attack.

And when they go to the GAY musical and Moss says,

'every value I've ever held is being questioned and I'm loving it' Grin

Anyone remember the series Happy Families with, basically, the Comic Strip in it?
The episode in France was just brilliant with Rik Mayall as this demented priest

Rik:“Ah, so it is the brilliant “poet” Delcroix”
Jim Broadbent: “YAYYYYYS”

Still cracks me up.

And on NYE my brother will invariably call me to shout “MERRY NEW YEAR” to which I have to reply “we are moving! We are moving!” “Please to help me with my ROOKsack” or “I remember the Pavilion! We had big fun there!”

For no reason whatsoever, "the in betweeners" after jay has insulted the "bus wankers" and simon drives up onto the pavement:

"I'd rather be a bus wanker than drive that yellow piece of shit."

Always makes me laugh.

Not at all PC, but Phoenix Nights with the coach load of dwarves and Max turns to Paddy and says "How far away are they?"

So many brilliant one liners in that though, 'language there's a childs bike outside' gets used a lot here

So many lines from Catastrophe that I can't just pick one. I think about lots of them when I need to smile.

"Cock, Piss Patridge" - every time.

And loads of Chandler Bing ones:

Ross: (bright orange): "I went to that tanning place your wife recommended."

Chander: Was it THE SUN?

Father Ted and Fawlty Towers for me.

Oooh, I know! (Sybil)

Pretentious, moi? (I thought this was Sybil but I think it may have been a joke from a young male guest, the one with the open shirt and the medallion - Nicky Henson?)

Near - Far from Father Ted, as referenced by dozens of others.

Also, Withnail and I.

'We want the finest wines available to humanity, we want them here and we want them now!'

'As a youth, I used to weep in butchers' shops!'

'Change down, man, find your neutral space.'

Both frequently deployed in our house.

Almost all Terry Pratchett, as a pp said, but for some reason particularly:
“Old Gertie Simmons used to have a squint and she was always putting the evil influence on the end of her own nose. We can’t have people thinkin’ that if you upsets a witch she curses and mutters and then her own nose drops off.”
