The TV Show Quote Challenge Thread

We’ve had movie quote and song lyrics contests. Let’s have a TV quote contest.

Say the show, the character speaking the line, and add some quotes of your own.

I’ll throw a few easy ones out there to start. Well, maybe not all easy. Okay, the first one is REALLY easy.

  1. “As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly.”
  2. “Spare me your pork-scented lies!”
  3. “Women… can’t live with 'em, pass the beer nuts.”
  4. “Peter, those are Cheerios.”
  5. “I’m gonna go build my own theme park, with blackjack and hookers. In fact, forget the park!”

#3 is Norm Peterson on Cheers. :slight_smile:

“You know, we’re not the only ones destroying trees. What about beavers? You call yourself an environmentalist, why don’t you go club a few beavers?”

  1. The Simpsons(?) -> Homer
  2. Cheers -> Norm(?)
  3. Family Guy -> Brian
  4. “If you had half as much fun watching this show as we did making it, well, then we had twice as much fun making the show as you did watching it.”
  5. “Eating cardboard can ruin your life. You could end up in the street living in a box. Then you’ll eat the box, and you’ll be homeless.”
  6. “Boyd whipped Eddie, Eddie borrowed money from me, I’m playing Boyd double or nothing, I was kickin’ butt, Boyd broke my glasses, five hundred on the line, can’t see a darn thing.”

Good God. I get this one?

  1. WKRP in Cincinnati - Mr Carlson

#9 “Your ventricle is showing.”

Easy because it come from the funniest. episode. ever. of WKRP in Cinncinati

“Catholic grief, Protestant grief, Jewish grief . . . its all grief to me”

Bender, from Futurama.

  1. “Ta-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-ke the envelo-o-o-o-o-o-o-pe!”

  2. “A little song, a little dance, a little seltzer in your pants.”

  3. Who says I’m dumb?”

  4. “I’m going to show you the glorious results of a misspent youth.”

Michael Palin used this line at least once on Monty Python’s Flying Circus

Interesting. Not where I was thinking of though.

The motto of Chuckles the Clown in the Mary Tyler Moore Show’s classic episode, “Chuckles Bites the Dust.”

Make sure you keep the numbers sequential.

I’ll try to wrap this together so far.

  1. “I hate fondue - I’m always losing my bread.”
  1. “Everyone knows Lincoln loved mayonaise.”

Dan, from Roseanne.

  1. Why are we walking like this?”

Indeed.

Sounds like Zim talking to Dib on Invader Zim.

He’s said a few things with the same general formula, although I can’t think of a particular use of that one.

Is that from Two Ronnies?

  1. “Yeah, but look at it this way, an inch or two to the left and he’d have missed me completely.”

  2. “Well, I think in all probability, Wilma Flintstone is the most desirable woman that ever lived.”

  3. “There are essentially six options. One, ignore it, two, file a protest, three, issue a statement condemning it, four, cut off aid, five, sever diplomatic relations, six, declare war. Now, if we ignore it, we tacitly acknowledge it, if we file a protest it’ll be ignored, if we issue a statement it will seem weak, we can’t cut off aid because we’re not giving any, if we sever relations we risk losing the oil contract and if we declare war… people might just think we’re overreacting.”

  4. “On a scale of one-to-ten, it sucked.”

And if anybody gets this one, I’ll be amazed.

  1. “Anna, if you tell me to bend like a willow I’m gonna throw up.”

It may very well be, but that’s not where I heard it.

Red Dwarf. Can’t remember whether it was Lister or Cat that said it, but it was while the two of them were watching Flintstones and talking about how hot Wilma and Better were.

Er…Wilma and Betty.
