That’s a Daffy Duck quote.

I sometimes slip into “Okie Dokie Dukie” which was from the Gummi Bears. My step son is the only one who gets it and often uses it himself.

Perhaps, but it’s also from _ **Life of Riley** _.

In a very old WB cartoon, Daffy Duck also said “Sufferin’ succotash!” long before Sylvester the cat did.

One my mother always used when she was angry, from an old radio show, Magee and Molly: Taint funny MacGee!

One that always makes me smile, when you don’t have very much and are trying to make do was an old song from the movie Popeye about Olive marrying Bluto:

It may seem funny but it’s not; Oh no  
I’m thankful for what I’ve got; Me too  
It may not be a lot; But he’s LARGE

Be very quiet, we’re hunting Elmers…hhahahahahahahahahah (Bugs & Daffy)

What are we going to do tonight, Brain? What we do every night Pinky - TRY TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD!

I’m a goofy goober, yeah! (Spongebob)

My first thought was [look at imaginary camera] “Pronoun trouble.” Glad to see so many people remember that one!

Sometimes when I’m walking around the house I’ll do the entire bit of "La da da di da da, Abracadabra . . . "

Agreed on Emperor’s New Groove. “Don’t tell me - waterfall ahead? Sharp rocks at the bottom? Bring it on.”

The Tick - “Spoooon!” is the clear winner in our house, followed by (when someone’s name is hard to pronounce) “Four yaks in a bog? . . . Suuuusan?” and (when someone displays inexcusable ignorance), [Hold up imaginary puppet] “Read a book!”

Phineas and Ferb is a good source too.

“It’s made of PURE EVIL! And a blend of space-age polymers.”

Whenever the girls are supposed to be doing something and start doing something else, we bark “Bewege dich nicht!” as if they were on lawn gnome duty.
