“[Sorry,] my mustache is touching my brain” from The Tick.

My husband and I say it to each other when we’re flummoxed about something. I never get a chance to use it with anyone else who would get it.

I love reading these even when I don’t know where they’re from. I’ve smiled and laughed so much reading this thread! I want to steal so many, but it’s not the same if you get a quote from a message board rather than the original context.

I love that cartoon. “Would I throw a lighted match in there if my friend Rocky was in there?”

And then you have to say “You might, rabbit. You might.” in an exaggerated Irish accent.

The other line I like is, “My name is Elmer J Fudd, Millionaire. I own a mansion and a yacht.” I have no idea why that sticks in memory.

Mine get a little obscure, but one I use all the time is:

“Ah! Me see, snow…too cold…in winter! Uh-huh…huh?”

After doing something slightly helpful: “And that’s why they call me Bender the Magnificent”. Only with my own name.

</div>

When I goof something up and have to do it over again:

“Let’th run through that again.”

We’ve recently been visiting a German tavern and restaurant. The cooking there is ridiculously good, and as soon as I tuck in, I like to say, in a high-pitched voice:

“Ist gud, yah. Yah, yah, ist gud. Und yummy!”

“Monsters make the most IN-ter-resting people”

“Shut up Shuttin’ up”

It’s pothole season here in the Boston area and I can’t help myself while trying to  
avoid them and say "It’s Wabbit Season! Duck Season!

“Did you hear that Laughing Boy? No more buwwetts”
