“Up your nose with a rubber hose.” “Oh oh oh, Mr. Kotter, Mr. Kotter” “What could possibly go wrong now?” I don’t know if this has ever been uttered in a sitcom but I use this one three or four times a day. ---

Used when I am totally confused about anything. > > Call Ron and ask him if Janice spoke to Herb about the closing Fred is doing for Maxine? > Who shot who in what now? I say this all the time, cept it’s been shortened to “The what now?” Easier to say. From Sealab 2021: “Earlier!” I can’t even think of in what context this gets used, but it’s fairly regularly used. Also “Uh oh.” in the many variants. “Chopper Dave, we have uh oh.” 30 Rock: “Blargh.” Sooo many Simpsons ones it’s impossible. The “Something, eh?” referenced by **SiXSwordS**. Also “And so forth.” I know that I use tons of Simpsons references but when I sit here and try to think of how my personal patois of references I get stuck. D’oh. ---

> [@twickster](#): > > “Humor! Ar ar ar.” It’s Nice to be Nice to the Nice. Don’t waste apples, soldier! Apples don’t just grow on trees, you know. - Both from Frank Burns, M_A_S\*H Yeah, Sam we won. But only by a score of 6-2. What’s the point of winning if you can’t humiliate your opponent? - Coach, on Cheers, during the Little League episode (substitute your own friends’ name and sports score for the first two sentences) Excellent, Smithers! Maybe this consarnit energy-conservation fad thing is finally over with. - Burns replying to Smithers as the lights dim in Springfield and Smithers says ‘Somebody’s really sucking up the juice, sir’ Smithers, release the hounds. - Burns, Simpsons ---

“Did I say that out loud?” I think that is from _Friends_. “Just the facts ma’am” _Dragnet_. ---

“A shitload? That’s a lot even for a fat bastard like you!” When we have chips: “Chips!” (grunted), followed by “You want fries with that?” When we have chinese: “I’m off to the Golden Retriever” Sadly, a lot of our conversations revolve around food and Bargearse. ---

> [@PoorYorick](#): > > As an aside, I saw a Futurama rerun recently where this was bleeped. Adult Swim edited the line to “Sweet Zombie” whenever it was said, but I believe Comedy Central has reinstated the “Jesus.” ---

‘D’oh!’ ‘Excellent.’ (Like Mr Burns says it.) ‘Dy-no-mite!’ (Sadly, I don’t think I ever saw an episode of Good Times until last year. I picked that one up second hand.) ---

I regularly use the term “Coolness!”, often said by the title character on _Parker Lewis Can’t Lose_. I don’t know if it originated on that show, but that’s where I first heard it. ---
