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

Lynn, these are sex people.

Home alone 2:

'Don't give me that. You been smooching everybody! Snuffy, Al, Leo... Little Moe with the gimpy leg, Cheeks, Boney Bob, Cliff...'

VladmirsPoutine Haha he has so many, cracks me up!

JennyOnAPlate · 09/12/2017 21:26

Gavin and Stacey “you leek munching sheep shagger!” Has me in stitches every time.

Maybe it’s cos I’m Welsh.

amusedbush · 09/12/2017 21:37

Oh god, I'd forgotten about that!

'Don't call me Len, you little prick, I'm a bishop!'

'Oh right. Well done.'

Grin

Also:

'Turn that off - chewing gum for the eyes!'

'No thanks, Ted, I've got crisps.'

Another Alan Partridge, when he's trying to make sure two of the staff can't meet up for a bit of how's yer father, so he demands room service. He asks for a ham sandwich with 'a crescent of crisps and a hot egg.'

There's something about 'hot egg' that kills me.

Anything from Airplane.

Whenever anyone is heading off to something important we always say “I just want to tell you good luck, we’re all counting on you”

Or “don’t call me Shirley”

Leslie Nielsen = genius comedy actor.

Phoenix Nights speed dating episode.

One of the characters tells another to whisper song lyrics in the ear of the woman he fancies, meaning something like 'if I said you had a beautiful body would you hold it against me.'

The bloke leans forward and whispers in dulcet tones,

'I'm horny, I'm horny horny horny'

Father Ted,

'I hear your a racist now, Father? Should we all be racist now? What's the Church's position? I'm so busy down on the farm I won't have much time for the ol' racism.'

PelvicFloorClenchReminder · 09/12/2017 22:25

Animal in the Muppets Family Christmas - "Peace on earth! GIVE ME PRESENTS!!" is heard regularly in our house around this time of year. Along with, "Don't go out there, you'll freeze your winnebago!"

biscuitmillionaire · 09/12/2017 22:44

My favourite Alan Partridge. When he's in a hotel room with a woman he's about to have sex with. He comes out of the en-suite and says, 'I'd leave it a few minutes if I were you'.

Blerg · 09/12/2017 22:56

I really enjoyed Game Face too.

And this thread is great. Quotes or scenes I always laugh at:

Blackadder ‘as thick as a whale omelette’

Father Ted: Ted reminding Dougal that his guess for what is next in the advent calendar is Rudd Gullit on a garden shed’

Black Books, when Bernard is forced to work in a burger bar to keep dry: a customer asks for chips. And he says ‘how many’ and the customer goes along with it and says ‘40?’

Peep Show, the sequence where Mark thinks ‘of course, I’m a jogger’ and then is exhausted two seconds later.

30 Rock, when Liz asks Jack why he is wearing a tuxedo, ‘It’s after six. What am I, a farmer?’

Flight of the Conchords: the song Fashion, all of it, but especially ‘President Reagan, Thatcher, jazzercise.

Bottom, Eddie reading the newspaper.
Ritchie: Eddie, that newspaper's upside down
Eddie: So are my eyes

LittleDorritt · 09/12/2017 23:09

I came on to say "Bob" like everyone else! Grin

Anything from Withnail and I.
Anything from Armstrong and Miller's RAF blokes.

"I hear you're a racist now Father".

And anything from Red Dwarf - "He's Arnold, Arnold, Arnold Rimmer, more reliable than a garden strimmer".

alltoomuchrightnow · 09/12/2017 23:13

I still smile at... Alan Partridge taking his date to the owl sanctuary... if people ask me what I'm doing on my day off I often say , visiting an owl sanctuary (tbh I really would love to visit one!)

I laughed for days after watching The Detectorists a few weeks ago and one of the characters asking if a hedgehog was real and came like that as he'd only ever seen flat ones (can't remember exact words but you get the gist of it..it wasn't a road kill hoggie)

History Today with Newman and Baddiel... they used to struggle to keep a straight face

Sammy the Snake in Phoenix Nights

I have two green waterdragons (lizards) and often quote Blackadder at them, that they are cunningly fashioned out of 'green' (Baldrick invented green)

And 'spin the cat' from Father Ted... I don't stick my cat onto a turntable but he does have a bed on a shiny surface and I will often play 'spin the cat' with him....

Only Fools and Horses, when Rodney leaves the company and then rejoins but says 'I'll need a title' and Del replies 'well, we'll call you Lord Rodney' kills me and DH every time.

KeepServingTheDrinks · 09/12/2017 23:49

Loads of these have made me laugh out loud.

Lovely to hear so many tributes to Bottom (RIP Rik Mayall!!!) In our house we say "I wonder how this endeavour will end"( said by Eddie, beaming into the camera with great optimism as they were climbing round the outside of the block of flats, balancing off window sills)

I also love the late Sir Terry. Our one (which was DH and I's first in-joke as a couple) is a bit obscure. I think it's from Lords and Ladies but it's "Hodges-arrgh". We've been married over 20 years, and we still both say this at "arrgh" moments.

I think my favourite bit of The Thick of It was "don't ask her... she's next door practising walking" (cut to Rebecca Front practising laying a wreath for Remembrance Day. She is, indeed practising walking!)

Some of the quotes on here are bringing back loads of memories, and I'm chuckling away!

Tigger001 · 09/12/2017 23:50

These are all great and made me chuckle and reminded me of some classics.

The one that springs to mind for me is in friends when they are trying to get a settee up a flight of stairs and Ross is shouting "pivot" , it is just the way he says it...(maybe not a classic but gets me every time lol)

BeastofChristmasIsland · 10/12/2017 00:12

'Are you sure Father? It's got cocaine in it' 'What?!'
'Oh no, no, what am I on about, not cocaine... raisins!'

Said every time someone turns down offered food in this house Grin

Oh and Billy Connolly wanted to change the national anthem to the Archers theme tune. I still smile whenever I think of it

Cheers had a glut of hilarious one-liners
Frasier "I just came off a seven year marriage. It's hard to think of replacing Lilith"
Carla "just go to the morgue and open any drawer"
