Intellectual challenge for the day...
Think of examples where you might use a phrase or word from a TV/Film in everyday speech to add some humour or convey meaning. And the people who hear it would understand.

like
'Run Forest Run'
or
'Picanic basket'

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.

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......"

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

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!

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...
