“Say your prayers, varmint! I’ma gonna BLAST ya!”

“Get in the car, boid!” (some thugs were executing a poorly-considered caper to kidnap Tweetie-Bird)

My buddy and I have made a fine art of quoting a one-word line from The Flintstones over and over. Whenever one of us has done anything the least bit disappointing, such as not having seen a certain movie or not having tried a certain drink, the other will stand, extend a pointed finger toward the door, and bellow, “Ouuuuttt!”

Nearly every line of The Emperor’s New Groove:

These are my _best shoes_.

Why do we even _have_ that lever?

We’re just going to be sitting around talking about how much we love each other!

And I never liked your spinach puffs. Never!

Yay, I’m a llama again! …wait.

Does it have to be those words exactly?

We both could have been spared your little “Kiss of Life”.

…not even on your birthday.

How long has _that_ been there?

Don’t you say a word.

And many more, I’ll just stop there. Also some goodies from Spongebob:

I think I’ll eat it now!

They were white when I bought them.

Could you play a little… better?

Am I a _pretty_ girl?

Weenie Hut Junior?!

When making presentations to business groups, I’ve used a Boris Badenov bit from Rocky & Bullwinkle?

After laying out the requirements/challenges, I say:

“You ask if I got plan? Boris always got plan. Don’t always work, but I always got one.”

(Worked a lot better in the 90’s than it does today. Too many youngun’s who never learned the classics.)
