What's Your Sitcom Tagline? If your life were a classic sitcom, what signature expression would you be associated with?→[More:]You know, something on the order of "Aaaayyy," "Norm!," "Dyn-O-Mite!," "D'oh!" or Rev. Jim's wheezing groan.

"Please God, let this be a sitcom and not my life."

Oh wait, that's my tagline now...what was the question?

"Well, that's another restraining order"

The kid has a habit of getting so excited by life in general that she falls over. (She's like a tiny Mary Katherine Gallagher.) Then she'll pop back up, give the thumbs up and declare joyfully, "I'm OK!" It would make a most excellent sitcom recurring bit/tagline.

"I no longer wish to exist within this reality" - wait, that's what I say in real life.

"While you were out, I got the keys to your car. And drove it into a big wall. And if you don't like it, tough. I've had my fun, and that's all that matters."

I'll take "Well, shoot a mile!"

Or maybe "Well, slap my grandma!"

You know what totally needs to be a sitcom? David Sedaris' stories about his brother Paul (The Rooster). He already has the best tagline ever.

"You can't kill the Rooster! You might can fuck him up a little bit, but you can't kill the Rooster."

Obviously, it would have to be on HBO.

jrossi4r, you mean your real-life kid does that? Or "the kid" being "the proposed sitcom kid"?

If that's real life, it's almost impossibly funny.
posted by agropyron 10 March | 13:10
Miko--I agree. I would totally watch a show about the Rooster. While eating a big Fuck It Bucket full of candy.

It's my real life kid, agro. She just turned four and has these big nerdy glasses and just loves being alive so much she can't control her limbs.

Wow, that's totally adorable.

"Yeah, yeah. You just carry on arguing; I'm going to bed."

"Yes, gum would be perfection."

"It could have been worse!"

Which is also the tagline to my life.

affirmative response: "Just a little."
negative response: "Not recently."

Mine would be a call & response:

Me: Hand me a tool!

Other: What kind of tool?

Me: I don't care, I'm gonna use it as a hammer!

Please, help me choose between...

"Hello, anybody..."

"All seriousness aside..."

"That's easy for me to say!"

(Angry) "Once more and I'm gonna forcably remove your... (various endings include: spleen, uvula, shakra, moustache, inner child, implants, elbows...)

"I didn't survive (puberty, the 80s, my first marriage, my heart attack, a flesh-eating virus...) for THIS!"

"I'm only here to provide a bad example."

"I can't top that. Good night, anybody!"
