'Don't you say goodbye?'<br /><br />That said, I've managed to use 'These aren't the droids you're looking for' at work TWICE in the last month and gotten away with it both times... but then I work in IT. So maybe I'm preaching to the choir.Monster Zerohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09060472590396598058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4706282221761427996.post-38530689707868806482011-11-23T00:56:31.822-08:002011-11-23T00:56:31.822-08:00...Hello Newman......Hello Newman...Peter Dwighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01468813181562549863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4706282221761427996.post-66609865206295471202011-11-22T21:20:22.755-08:002011-11-22T21:20:22.755-08:00Dumb and Dumber is a great one.

Though not many people catch it and I have to explain it. <br /><br />South Park is probably the most used amongst my friends. I often like to respond to the question "What's up?" by saying, "Just sitting around jacking it", which is what Cartman tells Butters' parents when he is impersonating Butters.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15955054735802185726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4706282221761427996.post-14415437146690507002011-11-22T18:32:07.464-08:002011-11-22T18:32:07.464-08:00Seinfled, Arrested Development and Simpsons is the...Seinfled, Arrested Development and Simpsons is the general common ground with most of my friends but one of my oldest friends and I always quote Dirty Work and Kung Pow!

I remember, when I got my best friend into Psych, the rest of the year(and years later) was filled with dropping lines and references to the point of annoying the rest of our friends. Then I made a new friend with our mutual love for the same show, and sometimes we'll text each other lines that randomly pops up in our heads (and automatically know what it's from). Like a week ago, my friend sent me a single text message consisting of "I've got a theory." To which I immediately responded with, "It could be bunnies," from the Buffy The Vampire Slayer musical episode. And in the same way as you, I have assumed people were cool solely on their ability to catch/throw lines out from shows.Valarie Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10280987103450446542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4706282221761427996.post-19656395175147867762011-11-22T14:32:16.487-08:002011-11-22T14:32:16.487-08:00Seinfeld's a big one in my group too.

It mostly includes anything from Dumb and Dumber (We got no food, no jobs... our PETS' HEADS ARE FALLING OFF!) and subsequent comedies that I file into the genre of "Bromedies".

Greeting someone with "Hey, Brother!" (Possible Nephew / Fake Uncle Jack / Hermano) is huge. As is "I've made a huge mistake".<br />When discussing plans, somehow a spinoff on the Bed Bath and Beyond line from Old School always gets mentioned.<br />Oh, and Archer quotes. "Who am I?

I can do better."J.Lynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01626591344834401742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4706282221761427996.post-63595815605156982082011-11-22T07:46:41.680-08:002011-11-22T07:46:41.680-08:00Speaking in movie quotes is a second language with...Speaking in movie quotes is a second language with my brothers, college friends, and some other people I'm close to in my life. Unfortunately, one of them isn't my wife, which is a shame. She says she doesn't, "get it."<br /><br />Anyway, work is a different matter. I can't just bust out a movie line while pitching a development project to the board to get my point across. However, I do have one line that let's me know who's game, and it works nearly every time, with both clients and fellow employees.<br /><br />Client/Manager: Why did you build in such a wide date range for delivery?<br /><br />Me: This is very complicated stuff. A lot of ins. A lot of outs. A lot of what-have-you's.<br /><br />I'll usually see one or two people's heads pop up, and get the reference, and they typically are game for more movie quotes just in general, not just Lebowski ones.<br /><br />I also drop the "Bill it to the Underhills" from time to time, but I'm finding that's more miss than hit now with guys under the 30+ club.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4706282221761427996.post-65590790760043029072011-11-22T06:43:35.001-08:002011-11-22T06:43:35.001-08:00I can't tell you how many times a day I find m...I can't tell you how many times a day I find myself looking in a mirror saying "Stop Pooping" a la Rob Lowe in Parks and Recreation.<br /><br />As for movies, Drop Dead Gorgeous reigns supreme in my house. Everything from "This, this is Nazi Germany!" to "Maybe it is your way of telling us... to buy American" and "Do you think a nice cool mint will help if I shove your head up your ass?" are everyday utterances round these parts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4706282221761427996.post-40952959316779023182011-11-22T05:48:47.568-08:002011-11-22T05:48:47.568-08:00Once one of my good friends and I (a fellow writer...Once one of my good friends and I (a fellow writer whom I've known for about four years) found that we had the same vocabulary of lines from British comedies of the 1990s, we incessantly trade lines with each other now from shows like Bottom or Blackadder.

'I am not a number, I am a free man' (Patrick Mcgoohan of The Prisoner) is a winner. <br /><br />But absolute, guaranteed to make me laugh favourite has to be anything of Tony Curtis-doing-Cary Grant from Some Like It Hot. 'They found her strangled with her own brassiere.'

There are quotes my kids use when they haven't even seen the film - or their friends look at them blankly when used.<br /><br />But favourites? Has to be "Stupid conversation anyway" which is a misquote, but it got stuck wrong. Or "Eleven". Or "Together" - which is from an old UK advert.Adaddinsanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10577587188266580561noreply@blogger.com
