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

Also Pratchett 'When shall we three meet again?' 'Well, I can do next Tuesday'. Every single time I read Wyrd Sisters. Grin

And all Python, especially the Donkey Rides sketch.

All of League of Gentlemen - 'I made a little brown fish' 'We didn't burn him!'.

All Blackadder, especially the Wise Woman. Grin

George in Seinfeld “Sweet fancy Moses” when he sees Elaine dancing. Just thinking about that scene is making my eyes go all crinkly and watery with laugher.

All Dh has to think about is Kramer doing his posing walk for the Calvin Klein underwear executives and he's gone.

Lance and Andy in Detectorists
The delivery and timing of the lines is perfect.

Lance: You haven't met Tony, have you? Maggie's new bloke?
Andy: Don't think so.
Lance: Massive knob.
Andy: Has he?
Lance: No, he is one. Not he's got one. I've got no idea how big his knob is. I imagine it's probably tiny. Probably.

Bloody hell. Phoenix Nights....

In the episode where Brian organised a Family Fun Day in the club with magical children's experience in a portaloo in the garden among other delights there is a scene where Jerry tells Brian a story while in the toilet and at the crucial point he puts his hands under the hand dryer but keeps talking but Brian can't make out what he's saying.
As the dryer stops, Jerry shakes rest of water off and says "And... I woke up covered in piss!"

Kills me every time. I still don't know what the hell the missing bit could be that it ended up with Jerry being covered with piss.

@Vq1970 it's from Detectorists - you HAVE to watch all 3 series, it's brilliant!

Mine's from Alan Partridge, when he's trying to bond with Builder John: 'I've got access to the kids but they don'twannaseeeeeemeeeeeeeee!'

Reading this, I'm thinking of just one line in Cabin Pressure. The lemon is in play.

I giggle whenever someone says lemon in real life. A bit embarrassing as I like a G&T

There are too many to mention individually, but, nearly every line in Still Game!

Just the funniest programme either

Also Rikki Fulton in Scotch and Wry

He's drunk after the office Christmas Party and wakes up in the morgue

"I'm in the mortuary, I must be deid" Grin

It's the way he says mortuary

"The morchoo-arry, I'm in the morchoo-arry"
