From “Will and Grace”, in the episode when Jack has to decorate a holiday display window for Barneys…he shows his boss the first version of his window. She hates it, and gives him this line: _“Now, you have 24 hours to get this right, or not only will I fire you, I will rehire you, pull your hair, and fire you again!”_ ---

I’m going from memory here, but wasn’t that Rachel’s favourite movie, not Monica’s? Also, TRANSPONDSTER! 😃 (They actually told us what Chandler did at one point further on, but I’ve forgotten. It actually was data analysis or something.) ---

> [@Cliffy](#): > > Friends (a generally very good show) occasionally laid out a line so perfect it stayed with you forever. The one that always comes to mind (which I’ve mentioned on the SDMB before): Rachel is seducing her new boyfriend while he’s house-sitting for his parents (on vacation in Europe). She has stripped down to her negligee when – surprise! – the parents return early from the trip. The first thing the mom says (“Honey, that money we gave you was for groceries.”) was pretty great, but what always gets me is the dad’s line after the boyfriend introduces Rachel as his girlfriend: “I like her. She seems smart.” > > –Cliffy And then later, she’s recounting the story about how they all went out for dinner, a waiter spilled some cold water on her, she jumped and her boob popped out of her negligee. Rachel’s response when asked about it; “Eh, I have nice boobs.” Why, yes, I _may_ be a total “Friends” geek, why do you ask? 🙂 ---

I actually do data analysis for a living…Chandler’s title was kinda bogus, but plausible. I’m looking at the WENIS and I’m not happy. Chanondaler Bong. \*Miss \*Chanondaler Bong. ---

As a teen, I got caught watching t.v. after bed time when I laughed out loud at Bobby “The Brain” Heenan on Prime Time saying, “I’m not as dumb as I think I am.” Another favorite of mine: From the Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour. Tom is Ceaser, Dick is one of his generals. Dick: I bring you precious stones from Gaul. Tom: Gallstones? ---

From 70s sitcom _Rhoda_ starring the permanently gorgeous Valerie Harper. A nuisance guy she’s not into calls at her apartment. Rhoda: What are you doing here? Guy: I thought I’d come see you and cheer you up. Rhoda: (thinks for a moment) You cannot do _both_. The perfect putdown, perfectly delivered. ---

From Ren & Stimpy various episodes… Mr. Horse saying, “Nossir. I don’t like it.” Stimpy: “Ooooohhh Rennnn? Will you button my flap?” Ren: “Hey, Stimpy, go answer de flap.” Still said by me to my friends when we go camping. Narrator: “Prepare to hurtle through the cosmos!” And I can still sing the whole “Log” jingle. Yeah, a lot of the ones already mentioned have stuck with me. Particularly, “Ahh, Bach.” And you gotta do the hand motion with that one. ---

> [@Baggins111](#): > > Mr. Horse saying, “Nossir. I don’t like it.” I still say that! I preface it with ‘In the immortal words of Mr. Horse…’ Strangely, I don’t often find occasion to use ‘Cling tenaciously to my buttocks!’ ---

I don’t remember anyone using Ralph Wiggum memorable lines like: “It takes like burning” “Super Nintendo Chalmers” “Me fail English… that’s unpossible” ---

From The Drew Carey Show- (Lewis has sprayed a new love potion made at DrugCo on a ham. He then begins staring at it.) “Why so tense, baby?” Also “slapass leapfrog” from one of the Drew Carey Live episodes. Whose Line Is It Anyway?- Ryan Stiles: I just can’t seem to get a taxi, Colin. Colin Mochrie: Maybe that’s because we’re in a studio! TAPIOOOOCA! THE CAT! The Maltese Burger ---

Only thing that I remember from the Drew Carey show is Kate twisting the nipples of Oswald because he had like cups on his chest that were like boobs and she said, “hello? Rangoon?” or something like that. ---

> [@BMada](#): > > Only thing that I remember from the Drew Carey show is Kate twisting the nipples of Oswald because he had like cups on his chest that were like boobs and she said, “hello? Rangoon?” or something like that. Never saw the show, but it reminds me of a joke I heard when I was a kid. (It’s only funny if you’re ten years old.) How do you come in Tokyo? Twist her tits (pantomiming) and say, ‘Come in, Tokyo! Come in, Tokyo!’ ---
