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

[Baileyscheesecake]

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.

Very obscure but Scotland The What (staple Hogmanay TV for NE Scotland for decades) with their sketch of the mannie in the Ballater toy shop talking to Balmoral about Christmas presents. The "cuddly futrets" (ferrets) and "rubber djook" crack me up every time.

"There's a line from an episode of Coupling (remember that anyone??!) and it often pops into my head and makes me laugh every time. You'll have to imagine they welsh accent but he says "I've got the key to heaven, but I've got too many legs!""

Oh yes, that was hilarious. The Man With Too Many Legs was my favourite episode. I've got the Coupling Box Set, but can't persuade my (adult) daughter to watch it. I'm sure she'd think it's funny. Who wouldn't?

From Victoria Wood's Kitty: "Fortunately, I've just had my TV mended. I say mended... a shifty young man in plimsolls waggled my aerial and wolfed my Gipsy Creams, but that's the comprehensive system for you."

So many VW lines make me laugh.

Then there's the Morecambe and Wise André Previn sketch "I am playing all the right notes,,but not necessarily in the right order!"

Most of the old woman scene in Monty Python and the Holy Grail but especially: "Aha! Now we see the violence inherent in the system! Come and see the violence inherent in the system! Help! Help! I'm being repressed!"

My family communicate almost completely in stolen one-liners - it baffled my husband for the first few years. Some favourites:

Victoria Wood: "I found Jesus in 1969, while out camping".
Blackadder: "some green!"
Withnail and I: "we've gone on holiday by mistake" and "throw yourself into the road darling, you haven't got a chance"
Alan Partridge: "have you got your big plate, Alan?"
So so much from Fry and Laurie.

We've quoted and requoted so many times that they're reduced to shorthand in our family.

My absolute favourite of all time is a sketch from A Bit of Fry and Laurie, a shop scene with Hugh Laurie as the customer: "I was after a pair of shoes" "Very well, I shall serve them first". It reduced me to tears of laughter the first time I heard it, and still makes me laugh out loud every single time I think of it.

'I blow my nose in your general direction' and 'A shrubbery' from The Holy Grail!!
'Wandering round wearing hundreds of pairs shoes, shouting what are you thinking, what are you thinking?' from Coupling

I love his thread.

Me and my brother are constantly quoting... it's basically our entire conversation...

My fave is from the League of Gentlemen film: "you my friend are F U K T, f*cked."

Very obscure but Scotland The What (staple Hogmanay TV for NE Scotland for decades)
Oh “Scotland the What?” They were hilarious “F-E-R-R-E-T — futtret”

And Mr Christie of Sharny Dubs farm. “You canna keep eighty thoosand in a biscuit tin” “Och, it’s aa richt, I took the biscuits out first”

There's a bit in The Mighty Boosh where Howard says he has been up all night and thinks he has discovered a note between B and C. I howled with laughter at the nerdy music joke whilst DH looked at me like

Yes to many of the quotes on thread.

One clip that made me giggle wasn't from a comedy show but an advent. The M and M one where the red M and M. "Get in the bowl No you get in the bowl" then the next shot is of a massive M and M in a bowl. Made me laugh until I cried every time I saw it!

I am set to go back and watch so many of these series!

Alan partridge ‘what a funny story’ radio scene.

Caller ‘I sold a drill in the paper. Then at Christmas, I got it back from my brother in law as a present, minus the battery pack’

Alan ‘so the present you sold you got back’

Caller ‘yeah that’s it, goodbye’ hangs up

Alan has time to fill so spends next two minutes saying ‘haha. Haha. What a funny storrrryy. Haha haha, wonder who got the batterypack. Ha ha ha’

Kills me every time!

'Two soups' - Julie Walters as the very forgetful, very old doddery waitress for the couple in a hurry, penned by Victoria Wood.
And, of course, 'four candles' by 2 Ronnies.

Coupling was great!
"Ohhhhhhhh, Geoffrey" in the most disappointed voice ever features in our house.
Along with "meeeehhhhh, mmeeehhh" every time we have lamb.

A ha ha ha. A ha ha ha ha ha. A ha. A ha. News.

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

Erm, sorry, but wasn't it Percy who invented green?

My Grandma was a silver service waitress and very closely resembled the Two Soups character.

Coupling was available on Netflix a while back.

Friends: "you left the toilet seat up you bastard" - makes me laugh every time

The chandelier scene in Only Fools.

And just watched the National Lampoon Christmas Vacation - such a hilarious film

Eddie: Yes, we've all been sensing your sort of musky smell for nigh on 40 years!! When will you buy another shirt?
Richie: This is an original Van Der Heusen!
Eddie: Yeah, its the original Van Der Heusen, hasn't had a wash since 1963!
Richie: Well if you had the common decency to go out and get yourself a proper job, and not hang around the flat all day like some vast slug, then perhaps I would have the opportunity to take my top off and wash it with out the risk of you seeing my nipples!!!!

RIP Rik

The Simpsons (don’t judge)

Where Homer says “You’ll have to speak up, I’m wearing a towel”.

DH has it on some socks and it makes me laugh every time!

Thanks everyone. So many great lines. I agree with you MargaretCavendish Roisin Conaty was great in Gameface. I have watched the whole series and thoroughly enjoyed it. I hope they do a second season.

The Mighty Boosh - I'll be all over you like a powerful moss

Reeves & Mortimer - Cottage Cheese "Voodoo!!'"

'Little dog'.

Catherine Tate

This has been one of my favourite threads all year!

Never watched League of Gentlemen - but may have to start

Agree that Kelsey Grammer’s delivery in Frasier is one of a kind. That show was something else.

As a final (and I’ve re-watched Friends so many times that I very rarely laugh out loud anymore) but anyway- there will never not be a time when I see someone maneuvering around someone else when I don’t dementedly (want to) shout out “PIVOT!!” A la Ross Gellar

I've just remembered 'Business Time' from Flight of the Concords. 'Business hours are over'
