Jaws. Richard Dreyfus says it's a Tiger Shark, and a local says "A Whaaaht?" In a really strange way. This is said when appropriate in my house and among friends.

Talking about an event in the distant past, we might say "Ei Remembah" Like the old guy in the old Pepridge Farm commercials - "Pepridge Fahrm Remembahs."

I've been known to have entire coherent exchanges done entirely in Simpsons quotes.

We (husb and I) have about a ton of little insider remarks we make to each other, and they're all referential to Seinfeld, A Bronx Tale, Goodfellas, or The Godfather.

"Are you talking?" David Spade from Tommy Boy

"There are rules (voice waivering)." from Saw -the delivery is what's key with that one.

Me and the BF. Not TV but an Eddie Izzard Routine.

"So we just go to the talk, listen a bit, go to O'Mally's and then tooka tooka tokka ....lobster."

Too many to count. Loads from Seinfeld, like "HelllOOOoo!" and "They're very refreshing!" and "I've got hand," and "Yeah, that's right." Lots of others from movies and TV, including many I picked up from my parents - and for those I don't even know what the original referent was.

Too many to count. Myriad Seinfeld references, of course ("It moved, Jerry!" whenever something unpleasant and unexpected happens), but recently my husband and son's obsession with Family Guy has led to entire conversations being carried out in Seth MacFarland's voice. My son's favorite, whenever he is tasked with a chore, or I get on his ass about this, that or the other: "I welcome the day I am free of your tyrannical gyno-cracy", and my husband's non-sequitur that something "Insists upon itself".
The BSG nerd in my tries to throw "So say we all" into as many consensus-building conversations as possible, and since Family Guy is really the only show I watch with any regularity (I don't control the remote in my house since I generally don't like television, I absorb this stuff osmotically), I like to use my Peter voice and ask, "Hey Quagmire, whatcha doing?" whenever I am needling someone into a conversation.

"Bueller, Bueller..."

or, more often: "Anyone? Anyone?"

Recent Ben Stiller movie preview (didn't see the movie): "Youth is wasted on the young. No, old age is wasted on the old. No, life is wasted on people."

Ditto on Simpsons.

Too many from Star Wars to count. Two most often are "May the Force be with you" (Thanking someone profoundly for a huge favor) and "I only take orders from one person...me!" (When explaining what an individualist I can be sometimes).

I also had the Simpsons disease for many, many years.

I got better.*

As for movie quotes, they are legion. But any time something mildly out of the ordinary occurs, I like to do a whisper scream version of the shriek emitted by the older daughter from Poltergeist right at the end of the movie when she gets out of the car and sees the house going all ape shit: "WHAAT'S HAAPPENIIIIING?!?"

*Monty Python & the Holy Grail

Oh, and rainbaby? I think I kind of love you for this:

Jaws. Richard Dreyfus says it's a Tiger Shark, and a local says "A Whaaaht?" In a really strange way. This is said when appropriate in my house and among friends.

I know that my husband and I do this all the time, but for the life of me I can't remember a single one we use.

I'm sure many come from Seinfeld and the Simpsons though. Just because of our age.

I do like to say "the hammer is my penis" as a non-sequitor, especially seeing as my husband doesn't get the reference. (Ever. Like, he forgets immediately after I explain to him where it's from.)

Quoting the Simpsons is a cultural requirement.

The dude and I quote a lot of Mr. Show, as well. "That [X] and I share a name... ME!" "...playing the Nap Card" "...His science is too tight!" "They'll know we want a pizza."

You know that Simpsons episode when Bart gets picked up for shoplifting? Later, in the car, he remembers the store cop, and misremembers the word "capiche?" as "catfish?" - my girls only know "catfish?"...which might be weird for them when they get older. Sorry girls.

Also, yeah, there are so many.

Later, in the car, he remembers the store cop, and misremembers the word "capiche?" as "catfish?" - my girls only know "catfish?"...which might be weird for them when they get older.

When the eggcorn becomes fact, print the eggcorn.

I can't remember the various cromulent phrases we use.

hah! Nice.

"Not that there's anything wrong with that".

Oh man do I love this thread.

Simpsons and Seinfeld, for sure (though less so in recent years, now that I've lessened the titration of my syndication drip.) Lots of favorites from Arrested Development:

"I've made a huge mistake."
"Well, that was a freebie."
"Buster! Buddy! You can't do that in the break room?" (Our dog's name is Buster.)
"Shoot me!"
"To the nuts! THE BRIDGE MIX!" (Really, anything from Uncle Jack.)
"What a fun, sexy time for you!"

And on and on...

"There's no crying in baseball." A League of Their Own

"You use that word a great deal. I do not think it means what you think it means." The Princess Bride

"What's the matter girl? Did Timmy fall down the well?"

Whenever I'm trying to rustle the family out the door:

"Slap some bacon on a biscuit and let's go!"
and/or
"We're burning daylight!"
--John Wayne, The Cowboys, though I've never seen the movie.

The dreadful White Dog gave my family "Sour cream...love it!"

hmm. I think we use a variety, but they tend to be heavily dependent on Star Wars, Office Space, and Guy Ritchie movies.

probably our favourite: "I have a baaad feeling about this..."

(typically uttered prior to embarking upon some particularly gnarly drop/descent/section of mountain biking trail)

Oh yeah, another common one from Arrested Development: "My gut is telling me no... but my gut is also very hungry".

I do "There's no crying in (fill in the blank)!" Too!

"I have Pop-Pop in the attic."
"I want lie-down kisses."
"Married Married Married!" (especially popular since getting engaged.)
"I was told it was a 'Bob.'"
"Look at banner, Michael!"

With my wife, it's mostly movie quotes (from Aliens: "they mostly come at night... mostly." / "Why don't you put her in charge?" and Clue: ".. flames. Flames, on the side of my face .."), some old video games and odd bits of TV. With friends, it's more TV quotes, and there used to be some generic Japanese phrases from anime, but those have faded over the years.

Simpsons:
I am so smart I am so smart S-M-R-T!
Spider pig spider pig....
Who shot who in the what now?
I can't believe you don't shut up!
Look at me, I'm a unitard!

I quote just about the entire House of Yes script but nobody in my life has ever seen it. Which is helpful when tossing out lines about normalcy coursing through my veins and wonderment about how you people ever fit in my womb.

Oh and Heist, I always quote Heist:
Everybody loves money, that's why they call it money.

I quote just about the entire House of Yes script but nobody in my life has ever seen it. Which is helpful when tossing out lines about normalcy coursing through my veins and wonderment about how you people ever fit in my womb.

You mean some people don't start family dinners with "Now lets cut the turkey and hide the kitchen knives."

Once, two of us dorks on either sides of a stuck door:

"LET US IN LET US IN!"

"LET US OUT LET US OUT!

"I'm proud to be a part of this plan!" -- Ghostbusters
"Son of a bitch must pay." -- Big Trouble in Little China
"Are you crazy, is that your problem?" -- ibid.

I also am fond of saying "gotta get my mind right/just trying to get my mind right" - but I don't say it as an impersonation of PN in Cool Hand Luke, I just think about him, and that's what I mean, but I don't sound like a desperate person, even though I may feel that way.

Because I'm OLD, and I was YOUNG in the 1960s, I grew up on TV catchphrases, especially from cartoons...

Looney Tunes
"What a maroon..."
"Of course you realize this means war!"
"Your'e dis-s-picable."
"Sufferin' succotash!"
"I say, I say, that's a joke, son."
"I shoulda taken a right turn at Albuquoique" (said now more often than ever since I moved near Pismo Beach, the destination Bugs never got to)
or just a little Yosemite Sam swearing "Rassa frassa fraccka flim flam..."

Yogi Bear
"I'm smarter than the average [insert occupation here]"
and anything used for transporting food is a "pic-a-nic basket"

Bullwinkle and Rocky and other characters from the show
"Fan mail from some flounder?"
"Hey, watch me pull a rabbit out of my hat!"
"Nothin' up my sleeve..."
"I gotta get another hat..."
"And now, here's something you'll REALLY like."
"Where have I heard that voice?"
"Now, there's something you don't see every day..."
"Sharrup your mouth!"

Snagglepuss
"Exit, stage right..."

Super Chicken
"You knew the job was dangerous when you took it."

Hogan's Heroes
"I know NOTHING"

Maynard from Dobie Gillis AND Lurch from The Addams Family
"You rang?"

Walter Cronkite News
"And that's the way it is"

TV Batman
"Holy [fill in anything you can think of]"
"Same bat-time, same bat-channel."

Wide World of Sports
"The thrill of victory, the agony of [whatever was agonizing at the time, most often, 'the feet']

Laugh-In
"Ver-r-r-ry interesting..."
"You bet your sweet bippy." (Later, in reference to Kareem Jabbar's UCLA teammate, "You bet your Henry Bibby", which, sadly, never caught on)
"from Beautiful Downtown (wherever I was)" (years later, I got Gary Owens to record something "from Beautiful Downtown Wendell" for me; he also endorsed my comedy writing by saying I was "funnier than Lorne Greene and Jack Lord combined" to which I responded "I'm flattered, considering I've always thought "Book 'Em Dan-O" was the funniest line ever spoken on TV.")"

Lost in Space
"You blithering booby..."

Star Trek TOS
"Highly illogical."
"Beam me out of here!" (NOT "Beam me up, Scotty", it was my response to "Danger, Will Robinson" which all the other kids were saying)

from that other TV space show
"One small step for [one thing], a giant leap for [something else]"

Dragnet
"Only the names have been changed to protect the innocent" (whenever someone pointed out that something was true...)

Mission: Impossible
"This tape will self-destruct in five seconds..." (in response to some repetitive pre-packaged message)

The Prisoner
"I am not a number, I am a [whatever I was doing]!"

Ed McMahon from The Tonight Show
"HOW... [adjective]... WAS IT?"

Get Smart
"Sorry about that..."
"Would you believe..."
"Missed it by THAT much"
"...and LOVING it"
"That's the second biggest [whatever] I've ever seen."
"Thanks... I needed that"
"So, the old [whatever somebody just did] trick..."
(In my tweens, I'd spent entire days doing a bad Don Adams voice)

and some from my period of getting into old radio shows...
"Now cut that out!" and "...WELL!" (I also frequently did a bad Jack Benny voice)
"What a revoltin' development..."
"Anaheim, Azusa and Cooo-ca-mun-gah"
"With the playing of our familiar theme..."
"I can tell by the old clock on the wall..."

More recent favorites include
"I love it when a plan comes together..." (A-Team)
"Works for me..." (Hunter)
"Nevermind..." (Gilda Ratner, SNL)
"Well, isn't that special?" (Dana Carvey, SNL)
"Now you know... the [substitute 'worst' for 'rest') of the story." (Paul Harvey)
"Tank you veddy much" (Latka on Taxi)
"Happy happy, joy joy" (Ren & Stimpy)
"That was a HOOT!" (Rocko's Modern Life)
"I don't think so..." (Home Improvement)
"Let's be careful out there" (Hill Street Blues)
"Not that there's anything wrong with that" (Seinfeld)
"...bring something to the party." (Alton Brown, yes, he has catchphrases, and I like 'em!)
"Legen... wait for it... dary!" (How I Met Your Mother)
"Your mileage my vary" (car commercials)
"Oh boy." (Quantum Leap) (It should be noted that catchphrases have replaced profanity for most of my life, not because I'm trying to 'keep it clean', but because they are funnier)
and EVERYBODY does Star Wars' "I've got a bad feeling about this..."

Thank you for giving me two hours worth of "memory flogging" (a radio catchphrase of Gary Owens; if I got into all the ones from L.A. radio legends you probably never heard of, I'd be here all week)

ooooh yes, I completely blanked on Arrested Development!

I didn't think I had very many, but reading through other people's lists I realize I got plenty of them second-hand, without really knowing the source.

Walking through the hall on the way to a (most likely) contentious business meeting: "We should have shotguns for this."

Oh so many of these! The Simpson quotes are usually in vain as the mister never watched it. Same with 80s teen movies.

Another fave, that I'm surprised isn't posted yet: Nuke it from orbit, it's the only way to be sure.

Oneswellfoop pretty much got all of mine but we also use...

"Cats and dogs! Living together!" (Ghostbusters) when describing a crisis.

"...nuke it from orbit. It's the only way to be sure." (Aliens) about many things, but mostly the laundry pile.

"Inconceivable!" (Princess Bride)

"mumblemumblemumble..red swingline stapler..mumble..burn it...mumble...." (Office Space)mostly used when complaining and no-one is paying attention.

"And now we do the dance of joy!" (Balki, Perfect Strangers)

"Fine, fine, fine!" (Eccles, Goon Show)
"Waits for applause...not a sausage..." (Bluebottle, Goon Show)
"Sapristi Nuckoes!!" (Moriarty, Goon Show)

Plus a lot of random Min and Henry Crun mumbling. Ah, the delights of married life! :) And pretty much random lines from the entire Blackadder series.

OMG, yes, Big Trouble in Little China.

"No pathetic excuses!"

And the all-time champion:

"Face from the past come back to haunt you!"

Oh my god, I forgot my #1 movie quote of all time.

"I hate your assface!" (Waiting for Guffman)

You mean some people don't start family dinners with "Now lets cut the turkey and hide the kitchen knives."

Want to go to The Whelk family dinners NOW.

I forgot my numero uno quote as well, gracias a la Princess Bride: "Have fun storming the castle!"

So, so many. My dad even uses "Have fun stormin' the castle."

Lots of my quotes are of the "finish this phrase" variety. I am required to respond to "Almost there..." with "STAY ON TARGET..." and "Now you know..." with "...and knowing is half the battle."

UHF: "WHAT'S IN THE BOX??????"
"Red snappah, very tasty!"
"And take that rrridiculous thing off!"
"Just callll me MISSSSS-TER But-ter-fing-gers!"

I could not tell you the number of times I have gotten "Stool Boom" stuck in my head, particularly "Working... Making... Never stopping, never ceasing... Working... Making... some for selling, some for keeping..."

My partner and I like to "quote" the judges on Iron Chef, particularly the old guy ("It... reminds me... of the carp... in springtime...") and the interchangeable giggly actresses ("It's so *giggle* jiggly, like Jell-O!")

Ghostbusters:
"Ray... what are you doing, Ray..."
"I want you inside me." "Whoa, I think you've got enough people inside you already."

The Pink Panther is a big family favorite. My dad and I (who, it must be said, are VERY [NOT RACIST]) often greet each other with, "'Ellooooo, Catoooo, you feelthy yellow swine!" (We usually abbreviate to "'Elloooo, Catoooo!") Also, "Not... anymore!"

SNL: there was a particular Christmas sketch where Jon Lovitz as Master Thespian is playing a mall Santa, and he says, "I can even do it with only HALF a finger!"

Also, although (being female) I do not have a "fat one," I enjoy saying that it is still the "biggest one in three counties." (Stand By Me.)

Aw man, and now I remember the other oft-quoted movie, which I am totally surprised that nobody's mentioned yet: The Big Lebowski.

"This is what happens when you fuck a stranger in the ass!"

"Shut the fuck up, Donny."

"I mean, say what you like about the tenets of National Socialism, Dude, at least it's an ethos."

"...in the parlance of our times"

References to things that "really tied the room together"

and many mentions of the Little Lebowski Urban Achievers
