I do that, too! With the voice!
Nick at Nite used to run these great promos about their rerun shows. They did one for My Three Sons…
On the 23rd epidose of My Three Sons, Robbie went wild and shattered the show’s clean-cut image by using Bad Language.
Cue up a clip of Robbie shouting “Wha-HECK!!”
Whenever my buddy Steve and I heard the words “bad language…”
One from Clue springs to mind whenever someone says “to make a long story short,” I immediately have to interject “Too late.”
I don’t actually quote the movie, but when someone asks, “What do you do?”,
I have to resist the urge to say, “I’m the butler. I buttle!”
On Bonanza the other day, Ben called a scheming femme fatale a “witch,” even though it was clear he wanted to say “bitch.”
Must be losing my mind - no recollection of that, but do recall:
“She turned me into a newt. (significant pause) But I got better.”
That film’s ruined the number 37 for me.
If I want to express “no” emphatically, it’s like:
I think @terentii was modifying the Monty Python quote to fit his individual situation, not that he was misremembering it (though I could be wrong about that).
I turned 37 a couple years ago.
Every year, my sister calls me on my birthday. Usually she just starts in with “Happy Birthday to You” in the most over-the-top, “I’m pretending to be drunk” manner she can do. It’s a family joke.
But for my 37th birthday, she called me up: “Old woman!”
“MAN!”
“Man, sorry. Who lives in that castle?”
“I’m thirty-seven!”
“What?”
“I’m thirty-seven! I’m not old!”
We did that whole scene. She told me she’d been waiting years to do that to me.
I’m getting her back this year, though.
So this isn’t really one that comes up very frequently at all, but on my local Public Radio station today they were remembering a local artist who died last year, Wayne Thiebaud. The person they were interviewing said something like “…[something something] shaped Wayne’s worldview.” And that triggered my brain to go “Party time! Excellent!”
Every time I here the term “woke” I automatically change it to awake for Captain Raymond Holt.
Reminds me of when Mark Spitz was interviewed during the terrorist attack at the 1972 Olympics:
“I was awokened…”
(They wanted to get him out of harm’s way as soon as possible because he was Jewish.)
I have an odd one. Odd, in that it’s not particularly funny or weird. But whenever my wife mentions shoes, I (mis)quote Morgan Freeman in Glory: “Shoes, colonel…That boy wasn’t trying to run off. He just wanted to get hisself a pair of shoes.”
The actual line is “Shoes, sir. The men need shoes, colonel…The boy was off trying to find hisself some shoes.”
I have no idea why I do this.
A horrible movie that Will Ferrell did (forgot the title, it’s about basketball) Let’s get tropical.
Any use of the words badges or badgers will lead at once to me doing a bad impersonation of the Mexican desperado from The Treasure of the Sierra Madre.
I think he also left out the most important Hungadunga. After watching that scene, I’m not surprised Zeppo didn’t make any more movies with the others. (He looks pretty irked.)
Groucho Marx is an excellent source of randomly triggered quotes. When I hear people promoting literacy, I remember that outside of a dog, a book is man’s best friend - inside of a dog, it’s too dark to read. Also, whenever someone talks about doing something in their pajamas, I wonder how the something got in their pajamas.
If something breaks, I’ll say in my Spicoli voice: “I can fix it!”. Sometimes I’ll add: “My cousin’s got a bitchin’ set of tools!”
Who was the cartoon character in a perpetual funk who said: “oh, wowzie wow”?
Bad luck Schleprock said, “Wowzy wowzy woo-woo”.
“We were up at 6 and breakfasted and back in bed by 7.”
“Of course, in Alabama the Tuscaloosa.”
“Your Fate Is in My Hands,” the song of the Irish chiropodist."
“If you were standing any closer to me you’d be behind me.”
“Why-a-duck?”
If nefarious plans have been foiled, I’ll feel better after venting “rat, drat, and DOUBLE DRAT!!!”
