[Closed] Examples of film/tv script entering the common lexicon?

"We're going to need a bigger boat"

"yes yes yes, just like that, don't stop"

Doh!

yippee ki yay Melon Farmer

Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn.

Pub?

This one goes up to eleven.

"We're/you're not in Kansas anymore"

Totes amazeballs!

I'll be back!

Doh! is a great example.

Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?

And are there two G's in b*gger off.

Maybe that's just me...

I've come for my boy

from brokeback mountain

<Insert Name> , I'm your Father.

Not always amusing though.

"I'll make him an offer he can't refuse"

42

[quote=kcal ]And are there two G's in b*gger off.
Maybe that's just me...

Not just you !!

I've also used "you can't eat the scenery".

I'm getting too old for this s**t!

"well that's just like, your opinion, man"

"It's not the age, it's the mileage."

"This ain't my first rodeo" (pronounced roh-day-oh)

How [i]you[/i] doin’?

😉

Sitting in work watching UKTV gold ... Endless Only Fools and Horses.

Take your pick...

Lovely jubbly

Cushty

Bonnet de douche

Nuke it from orbit.

It's the only way to be sure

"Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn"

My name's Jeff (well, kids were saying it a lot last year!)

The first rule of [i]clubname[/i] club is...

I wouldn't say common but in our house two spring to mind.

When laying down the law to my daughters, usually not in a totally serious manner, I invoke the spirit of Jules

eg: If you don't shift all that washing off the stairs and back into your drawers as I've asked, I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and F-U-R-I-O-U-S anger (marks for extending furious to the longest possible)

When planning a trip to the smoke - 'of course, London's a big place. It's a very big place.... (even better if I can find a pot or a vase to echo Loo-oo-oo-oose in)

Both obviously chosen to extend their learning experience to the best films, but mainly to cause maximum annoyance. Hence dragging the key words out until I get a reaction.

Here's one I made earlier...I've started so I'll finish...

You were only supposed to blow the bloody doors off

I pick up TV and movie phrases all the time and find myself using them unconsciously because I like the words rather than deliberately trying to shoehorn them in to a conversation.

I caught myself saying this to one of the kids the other day...

"You and I are going to have a conversation that you won't enjoy"

Five minutes later, I realised I was channeling Tommy Lee Jones from Captain America.

"Listen very carefully, I shall say this only once......"

"Here's another nice mess you've gotten me into......"

"The game is afoot....."

The one from Father Ted.
****.
That one.
🙂

Most of Shakespeare.
Lots of the Bible.

"You can't handle the truth"

From telly -

A can I can't I
Twelvty!
Lots of Harry Enfield Show and Fast Show stuff has lasted well, like "Young Man!" "I am smokin a fag", "Brilliant!" etc.

A day doesn't go past without me quoting from Monty Python, Red Dwarf, ALF or Black Adder several times.

The one from Father Ted.
****.
That one.

And of course - this one is [i]small[/i], those are [i]far away[/i] 😆

Say what again!

Dave, you’re my wife now.

"We want the finest wines available to humanity".
Etc..... 🙂

Upon exiting the Gary....
"I love the smell of napalm in the morning".

I'll bet Gary doesn't think that's as funny as you do.

Sadly for me most of my catch phrases are from ‘Blue Streak’ an 18 year old film that few saw and less remember.

A friend's girlfriend once drunkenly recounted to us that every time he took he took his clothes off for sex he would say "say hello to my little friend....."

They're not together anymore!

It's the .......... in the world.

****!

Naff, nerk and scrote.

Edit. I've just understood Rusty Spanner's problem with the swear filter.

Loads from The Wire. Used to sound really incongruous hearing white, middle-class English people using street-slang from a Baltimore based gang-crime TV show. Hardly even notice it anymore yo...

“Show me the money”

“You can’t handle the truth”

“The names (insert surname) xxxxx, (insert forename) xxxxx (insert surname) xxxxx”
“I see dead people”
And..
“I’ll be back”
And, especially for here..
“I’m serious, and don’t call me Shirley”

^^ damn you @jam “show me the money” was mine 🙂

I need a vacation

From shrek

Have I farted ?
if I’d have farted you’d have died

Feel the force

It’s beyond my control (Malcovich in Dangerous Liasons - used used this numerous times at work)

Verbal memes 😉

No double dipping.

I’ll get my coat.

Edit. I've just understood Rusty Spanner's problem with the swear filter.

The only reason the Father Ted one in there is because it was getting overly abused, AFAIK. It was done before my time though.

Apart from
"Round up the usual suspects" and
"This could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship" as well as "Here's looking at you, kid" not to mention
"We'll always have Paris", not forgetting
"Off all the gin joints in all the world..."
Casablanca gave us the most quoted line that no-one actually said
"Play it again, Sam"

Loads from The Wire

This - "you don't pay a ni**er, a n***** ain't gonna work"

"Adjourn your asses"

It's an extender!

Monkey Tennis?

First rule of Street Countdown...

Does Shakespeare [url= http://www.bbcamerica.com/anglophenia/2014/04/45-phrases-coined-shakespeare-450th-birthday ]count.[/url]?

Rising intonation in statements, thanks to Neighbours / Home and Away etc 😉

Often used by various members of my team when talking to (or at) Project Management -

'You might think that, I couldn't possibly comment.'

Groundhog day

Every time my colleague Dave asks me to do something: "I'm sorry Dave, I cannot do that."

Describing crap towns as wretched hives of scum and villainy.

Colleage: Where you working next week?
Me: London.
Them: London?
Me: Yes, London. You know - fish, chips, cup o' tea, bad food, worse weather, Mary ****ing Poppins - London.

I think some posters are confusing "common lexicon" with "lexicon of my mates / family."

Common lexicon: groundhog day
Mates' lexicon: so what is it?

Rising intonation in statements, thanks to Neighbours / Home and Away etc

Buffyspeak, more like.

so what is it?

I've never seen one before - no one has - but I'm guessing it's a white hole.

I know it was a book first, but "Catch 22" has undeniably made it, appears in dictionaries and everything.

It saddens me that in the near future there'll be a generation of people who can move a large object from point A to point B without invoking the Chuckle Brothers
😥

This might show my age, but “What are we today then Gilbert?”

Too many Basil Fawlty idioms to list, but a huge number fit my personality and relationship. “Please try to understand this before one of us dies” was possibly overused at work.

Let me put my thinking head on

I love it when a plan comes together.

It saddens me that in the near future there'll be a generation of people who can move a large object from point A to point B without invoking the Chuckle Brothers

They were a bit derivative though - the moustashe, the mullet, the catch phrase.

"To me, or not to me."

It rubs the lotion on it's skin

Clunge

Bullshot: "Is this seemly, Mrs. Platt-Higgins, playing popular music and your husband only ten years dead?"

Lots from Billy Liar and Alan Partridge.

"Textbook" is my most overused one from AP.

“Let’s have a look at what you could of won.”

Don't think.. feeeel!

"Do or do not, there is no try"

Those Harry Enfield catch phrases!
You don't wanna do it like that...
WE're considerably richer than youw
Does a lot of work for charidee....

Seen many of them used on here... and probably the most popular, from the Fast Show -
I'll get my coat

Oi Shadders 😆

Best ever fillum ever in black and white.

“ the rule are, there are no rules”
“ zeds dead baby”
“goodnight from me and good night from him”
“yea canni change the laws of physics”
“i feel the need the need for speed”
“I’m scared of never feeling this way about anyone again”
“no one puts babe in an corner”
“seven!”
“play it again sam”

“Game over man, game over”

“Calmer than you dude, calmer than you”

“You come right out of a comic book”

“Bullshit Mr Han man”

Are some my friends and I use along with the other Bruce from Enter the Dragon lines above. My boss sometimes uses “Band Meeting” when we have meetings. It’s great because it’s only him and me that are Concords fans 🙂
