“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”

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"

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.

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

"To me, or not to me."

“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 🙂

BAD example - One One using “Twelfty” for every height marking on their seat posts

Very amusing at first but really bloody annoying when actually trying to reset / reinstall / adjust / use the bloody thing !

... obviously chosen to extend their learning experience to the best films, but mainly to cause maximum annoyance.
I used to (OK, still do) say "A haaaaandbaaag ?" in a full pantomime Edith Evans impersonation

never* caught on - even just in the family 😥

We used to say that one too!

There was also this Welsh comedy thing back in the 70s (Ryan & Ronnie?), few catchphrases off that stuck with our family - 'Don't call will on yer father!' being one 😆
