When we drive through tunnels on the M25 DH and I have to say "And it's go, go, go at the Monaco Grand Prix" in the style of Murray Walker!

When someone says, "It's nice to see you" I have to say, "To see you nice!"

I like to say "nice to see you sober." Grin

Setting off to drive home: "Home, James, and don't spare the horses"

If I do something that impresses DP, he says in a faux French accent "You Eenglish you arre so clevair"

Of himself he often claims "They say he came from Cincinnati" - I have no idea where this comes from, anyone know?

"The Machine That Goes Ping" gets quoted at work a lot (hospital).

Papercuts get, "Oh my God! I'm going to die!" in massively over-dramatic tones. Because they are the most dangerous injury known to man, after all.

If it's someone else's paper cut, I just say, "oh well, that's it, you're going to die," in very matter of fact tones.

Where did the cheeseburger thing come from? If we go to Mcdonalds my children always say 'you want chesburger? I can has a chesburger? I've started saying it now...

ParadiseCity · 27/04/2016 01:03

I do these. All of them. Hello fellow twats.

I am also afflicted that if anyone says momentum I have to chip in 'do do do do do'. If anything is bizarre I have to say 'how bizarre how bizarre' and if someone says 'she's lying' I burst into Jimmy Nail.

When my daughter gets up from a lie in and I see her, I often exclaim, "Gordon's Alive!" as spoken by Brian Blessed in Flash Gordon.

MooseBeTimeForSnow · 27/04/2016 01:50

My DH, again, in Indian restaurants, "can I have the Tarka Dhal please? It's like Tikka, only a little Otter".

Every bloody time.

Isn't I can has cheezburger a cat meme thing?

kickassangel · 27/04/2016 02:05

If for any reason I have to count to five, I used to sing Once I caught a fish alive.

Now DD's older and we're past the toddler phase, I've reverted to Senses working ov-er-time.

cruikshank · 27/04/2016 02:06

Yes, the I can has cheezburger is apparently a lolcats thing. I only know because someone told me that once. I don't know what a lolcats thing is. But I think it is linked to saying 'nom nom nom' (which is of course punishable by death).

I do loads of these, especially the 'Flash, saviour of the bath-y-verse' (twat that I am) and 'Stop, hammertime' (which option you go for depends on your age, obvs). I love love love the cat/circle of life thing.

I also, much to the kids' disgust, invent new variations on that song that goes (I don't even know what it's called) 'I see you baby'. So for example 'I see you baby ... wearing those trousers ... wearing those trousers... wearing those trousers' or 'I see you baby... washing that cup ... washing that cup ... washing that cup'. Yes, I am a bellend.

Pennybubbly · 27/04/2016 02:34

I LOVE these. Makes me feel quite at home.

{EatShitDerek - please may I come and live with you?}

BusyCee · 27/04/2016 03:09

Whenever I change a nappy (which is frequently) and we get to the bit when I clasp ankles and lift to slide new nappy under, I sing 'waaaaaave yooooooour botty in the air like you just don't care'.

DSs now automatically sing it too, and DD gives a gummy smile as three gurning faces loom down & serenade her

ToTheMoonAndBack78 · 27/04/2016 03:33

Lol love these and the fact we are all mad as a box of frogs. Mine (for some reason) when asked If I'm free in work or anywhere. .Is to respond delightfully camp in my hightest pitched "I'm Free" with a little wiggle to boot. Just can't help myself. Lol Also I see you baby shaking that ass we changed it to nappy lol bonkers but happy Grin

Whenever ds1 asks for cheesecake I have to respond "Cheese? Cake? You dirty bastard" in a northern accident.

dylsmimi · 27/04/2016 06:58

Oh and with singing me and dh have to sing when anyone says have you got the key or I've got the key the reply has to be 'ive fot the secret'

StrapOnDodo · 27/04/2016 07:22

Great thread!

TheBestChocolateIsFree · 27/04/2016 07:24

When the DC were little and we had to take Tshirts off them they were always instructed to wave their hands in the air like they don't care. On returning home from a trip out I would regularly serenade them with the Supremes classic "Baby, baby, where did your socks go? Did you leave them on Sainsburys floor?"

On a baby name thread there was a woman who used to work with someone actually called Jolene. Apparently the entire team were having some kind of breakdown due to the daily effort of not singing it.

toriap2 · 27/04/2016 07:27

Dd found a random banana on a shelf in Aldi and did the minion song in the middle of the aisle! She is 13!

DaphneCanDoBetterThanFred · 27/04/2016 07:33

Whenever I saw those "Free Nelson Mandela" stickers in cars and the like, my brain always filled in "..with 5 tokens from the back of your cereal pack!"

donajimena · 27/04/2016 07:51

I've just realised that I say 'shower time' MC hammer stylee to my sons... I hadn't really noticed before I read this thread Grin

RaptorInaPorkPieHat · 27/04/2016 08:43

If we go anywhere with the Sat Nav, whenever it says "Bear left" I always make paws and go "Grrr"

barcelosthehappychicken · 27/04/2016 09:41

We have an old peoples home here in the village called Eben-ezer.

When I see the sign I start singing " E's are good, E's are good, he's Ebeneezer Good".

I make up a lot of my own advertisement jingles too Blush

Also when my DS says "I'm bored" I keep repeating "GAME BORED" from the IT crowd .

barcelosthehappychicken · 27/04/2016 09:44

Ooh the Jolene post...does anyone sing the song when they see the Joleen hair bleach in Boots...?

I have to, I can't stop myself.
