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'
"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?
"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.

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...
