“…she can have a dress shop.” (_Showgirls_) Like most of the movie, the line is so profoundly inappropriate that it’s hilarious. ---

Incredible! You have managed to take the single greatest to say nothing of most quotable movie of all time and pluck not only the most obscure but also the _least_ funny lines in the movie. ---

I’m not from South Central Los Angeles. I didn’t come here to shoot twenty black ten year olds in a drive-by. I want a normal gun for a normal person. Ray: I don’t hit women. I would never hit a woman, Chloe. I’d hit a woman who was trying to hit me with a bottle. That’s different. That’s self-defense, isn’t it? Or a woman who could do karate. I would never hit a woman generally, Chloe. Ray: Ken, I grew up in Dublin. I love Dublin. If I grew up on a farm, and was retarded, Bruges might impress me but I didn’t, so it doesn’t. Ken: You from the States? Jimmy: Yeah. But don’t hold it against me. Ken: I’ll try not to… Just try not to say anything too loud or crass. Marie: [to Ray and Harry] Why don’t you both put your guns down, and go home? Harry: Don’t be stupid. This is the shootout. ---

From “King of the Hill,” the episode where Kahn’s family moves in: Hank gives Kahn a welcome gift of a tank of propane. Kahn says, “You honor me by giving me gas.” This slays us for two reasons - one, potty humor is big in our house, and “giving me gas” usually translates to, “You farted in my general direction.” And two, we started using it reference to the car. “I’ll be late home tonight - I have to stop and honor the car.” ---

I LOVED the Young Ones! Another one from an old movie, Arsenic and Old Lace, Cary Grant says, “Insanity runs in my family. It practically gallops.” Such a good movie, not only funny, but Cary Grant, too. ---

In the same ep: Barney has given up alcohol and gets through astronaut training much better than Homer does, so will be the one picked to go. The trainers open a bottle of champagne to celebrate the end of the training course, and Barney grabs it, sculls it, and goes off staggering drunk (thus leaving the field open to Homer). Trainer #1: Wasn’t that supposed to be non-alcoholic champagne? Trainer #2: It was. ---

From _Father Ted_: **Father Ted: Ah, Sister Assumpta! Sister Assumpta: Hello Father! Father Ted: Dougal, Dougal, do you remember Sister Assumpta? Father Dougal: Er, no. Father Ted: She was here last year! And then we stayed with her in the convent, back in Kildare. Do you remember it? Ah, you do! And then you were hit by the car when you went down to the shops for the paper. You must remember all that? And then you won a hundred pounds with your lottery card? Ah, you must remember it, Dougal! [Dougal shakes his head] Sister Assumpta: And weren’t you accidentally arrested for shoplifting? I remember we had to go down to the police station to get you!.. And the police station went on fire? And you had to be rescued by helicopter? Father Ted: Do you remember? You can’t remember any of that? The helicopter! When you fell out of the helicopter! Over the zoo! Do you remember the tigers? [Dougal shakes his head some more] Father Ted: You don’t remember? You were wearing your blue jumper. Father Dougal: Ah, Sister Assumpta!** ---

Some unexpected comedy from _Being Human_ last night: George: “WHO WANTS SOME OF MY CHAIR?!?” [after deciding that a chair was the weapon of choice for taking on a room full of vampires] Also: “So you’re a ghost? Can you, like, move things around and…go from room to room…?” “Everyone can do that.” ---

I’m sure this won’t be of any interest to anyone but me: Last season on _CSI(Original Recipe)_ there was a perp being questioned by Lt. Brass. Perp says: “Whoa, his name is Brass, and he’s a cop”. K, not funny to most, but what I’ve been thinking since the start of the show. Now I say the line every time Brass shows up. My husband just howls with laughter when I do it, or maybe it’s heartburn. ---

**MST3K: The Movie** “Normal view, normal view, normal view, NORMAL VIEW!” (it’s the trailing off singing at the end that does me in) “Put me on intermittent Joe.” “Hail Hitler!” Cracks me up every single time, actually that entire movie has a quote for every occasion. ---
