To have burst out laughing at movie quote DP?

[OdettySpaghetti]

DP has a habit of saying things as though he’s in a movie. He doesn’t do it jokingly - example:

He was telling me about when he was younger and spent the weekends going to car meets in car parks (boy racers 🙄) and he suddenly stopped talking, shook his head and said “man, that summer was immense” - I burst out laughing and started singing “the summer of 69” - it just sounded so American and movie like!

Another one - I was saying how much I’m missing Thailand (it’s been a while since I’ve travelled, first world problems I know) and he took my hand and stared into my eyes and said “we will get there again, believe me, we’ll make it back” 😂😂 he was being dead serious, I burst out laughing as it just sounded so out of context!

Anyway, last night - we’d gone to the local for something to eat. We were sat in the beer garden, it was lovely and warm. He suddenly stood up, held out his hand and said “walk with me?” 😂😂😂 I almost choked on my bloody drink, he said “what’s funny this time?” So I said “why do you keep talking as though we’re in a movie??” And he looked all embarrassed and laughed and said “I don’t, I just wondered if you fancied a walk!” So I said “so say that then! The movie quotes just make me laugh!”

Fast forward to bed time, he stood up, stretched and said “well, I’m going to hit the hay, tomorrow will be hard on everyone” 😂 I said “why will it??” So he replied “I just mean Fridays are always a ball ache as people just want to fast forward to weekend”. Ffs why the dramatic movie quote?? AIBU to find this so funny and cringey at the same time?

I think you need to go to bed first, sit there with a book and when he starts to undress, fling the book aside and...

"Take me. Now!"

None of those stand out as movie quotes to me?

Does he even know the movies or are you the movie buff and think he’s quoting from movies he hasn’t seen?

My DH sometimes thinks I’m referring to a movie but most of the time I haven’t seen it (but could have picked up a phrase someone else was quoting)!

Isn’t it a bit rude to laugh at the way he speaks/his choice of words?

I think OP is describing her amusement in an affectionate way. Frankly the pair of you sound like the sort of friends I'd love to have - funny and affectionate.

Yeah it seems a bit mean to keep laughing at his quirky turn of phrases

You sound a bit rude tbh

They aren't actual quotes from specific films! They are dramatic-sounding pronouncements which sound like they belong in a movie script.

Honestly this is a weird thread. So many posters who seem unable to fathom the idea of humour and gentle pisstaking in a relationship and think it's 'rude'. Dh and I (and the dc) mildly take the mickey out of each other all the time. Are there really people in long-term relationships who are just permanently serious and polite to each other? Sounds very dull.

You are such a tolerant person, I honestly couldn't cope with this.

How long have you been with him?
He sounds funny, and lovely, but as a PP said, it would definitely give me the ick

I think if you both know it’s a bit of fun then it’s perfectly healthy to have little annoyances in a relationship that you can laugh at and be endeared to.

My DH has a habit every time we watch a movie is to pick one of the actors and he always says “ ooh Julia Roberts ( or whoever) must be some age now , what age is she?As if I fecking know! And he’ll say some age that is definitely wrong so I have to google it. Then next things is “I don’t think she’s done any movies since then has she?” cue an argument where I rhyme off some other great works of Julia roberts and then by the time this googling is over I’ve lost track of the movie.
It’s annoying and predictable but it’s funny too

I’m desperate to see the humour in this honest. But people on here splitting their sides over very ordinary sayings like “it’s not personal it’s business” and “hit the hay” - WTF?

I took the piss out of DH a little while ago as something good happened a win for him can't remember.

And he was so excited he made a sort of arm move involving both fingers pointed and sort of likeshooting into the sky.

Naturally I pmsl and he also naturally was very good natured about it because yes he recognised that he'd looked like a 13yo getting a high score on space Invaders 😂

I also ripped the piss out of myself when I saw someone on the dancefloor recently I hadn't seen for ages and did a really crap double handed circular pointy gun thing at him. Imagine Alan partridge type move 😂😂😂

Does he say "that was classic intercourse " after sex ?

You know that thing? Imagination? Like when you're reading a book and you put the pieces together in your own head. That's what we're doing.

My DP likes to take the piss out of some of my sayings - apparently i use a lot of "Olde Worlde" language that nobody else uses anymore It does make me feel a bit daft when he starts laughing for no apparent reason and then tells me "nobody says that these days!". Especially as I'm a bit older than him - makes me feel ancient!

I'm sure its very funny and a bit weird but do be sensitive to his feelings and find a way to laugh about it with him, not at him.

@shallIswim ok.

There is a difference between laughing at someone once about a one off thing they said or did and repeatedly laughing at someone for the same thing they say or do.

I can take a joke but I do start to get annoyed when the person is laughing at me about the amsd thing over n over or bringing it up time n time again. Imagine someone always pulling you up on something you do or laughing about it, you will eventually develop a complex over it.

He sounds an idiot of the first order.

He should be dancing with Tina Sparkle

Urgh I’d hate that! I can’t be doing with dramatics and sensationalist crap. It’s like when my DH watches these American survival programs like Naked and Afraid and they come out with some dramatic OTT speech about why they’re there. Always makes me laugh but I couldn’t live with it

You sound pretty rude, if he’s always been like this then you’re the issue.
