I had this conversation with my wife last week:

Me: I have to pick up something at the post office tomorrow.
Her: What is it?
Me: It's a building with federal employees and public post and letters, but that's not important right now ...

Two days later a co-worker actually fed me this perfect moment:
Him: Surely you can't be serious!
Me: I am serious ... and stop calling me Shirley

It was like Airplane synchronicity week.

Whenever walk in the middle of a conversation and I want to annoy the people who ignore the fact I've walked up to them, I'll sometimes interject (over and over again):

I am the walrus. I am the walrus. I am the walrus.


But my five favorite movie quotes I've yet to find the context to slip them into conversation are:

5. Yes! And it's big of me, too! (I need someone to accuse me of bigamy)

4. Please! This is supposed to be a happy occasion. Let's not bicker and argue over who killed who.

3. F*** sympathy! I don't need your f*****' sympathy, man, I need my f*****' johnson!

2. Hey, careful, man, there's a beverage here!

1. Are you suggesting coconuts migrate?

*begin rant*

Famous movie quotes that need to be permanently retired for the sake of my sanity:

- Show me the money!
- I'll have what she's having
- You can't handle the truth!
- I'll be back
- Of all the gin joints ...
- Nobody puts Baby in the corner
- I'm the king of the world!
- Also ... Offer can't refuse, Frankly my dear, Go ahead make my day, What we've got here is a failure to communicate, etc. etc.

These were all memorable in the context of the movie, but the people who seem to cling these quotes are dorky people who in no way could be interesting on their own (with the exception of Donald). It's like, "I've got nothing interesting to say, so I'll plug in one of these famous quotes -- often without any context at all -- and quietly ignore how trite I've made it."

*end rant*

Hey, I don't use any of those quotes. :(

I love quoting Pulp Fiction (which most can't be typed here) and Tombstone.

At the Giants game, I accidentally spit out, "I don't remember asking you a GDed thing!" at some Giants fan who interrupted my conversation. ( I did apologize)

"This is fortuitous, that means lucky."

My buddy and I fall back on these two Lebowski quotes all the time:

Obviously, you're not a golfer.

and

It's a bummer, man.

I also like: This isn't Vietnam, Smokey, there are rules.

And of course, the classic made-for-TV replacement: This is what happens when you find a stranger in the Alps! subbed for This is what happens when you BLANK a stranger in the BLANK!

yeah, "Correctamundo!" ala Sam Jackson style is one I yell at my right when they ask a really stupid question that should never be asked.

It's like we speak movie-nese to eachother. Anyone else do this with their friends?

Oh ya...I would bet I couldn't go 5 min on Sunday watching football without someone using a movie quote to explain something.



But here are the quotes that get thrown around the most:

Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes it rains - Bull Durham

Talk about your all time backfires. - Happy Gilmore

Doing the Bull Dance, feeling the flow. Workin it, working it. - Happy Gilmore

You're rather attractive for a beautiful girl with a great body. - Caddyshack

I don't play golf, for money, against people. - Caddyshack (I play golf for a living, so I use this one a lot)

I'm gonna hit the brakes and he'll fly right by. - Top Gun

Maybe it's something really cool that I don't even know about. - Old School

Once it hits your lips, it's so good! - Old School

You're crazy, man. I like you, but you're crazy. - Old School

Living through the years of Ace Ventura and Beavis and Butthead quotes in the early 90's nearly brought me to a breaking point. Then about the time that wore off I had Austin Powers quotes to deal with for several years.

Then, there was a guy in my unit who would purposefully talk like Boomhauer on King of the Hill and his buddy did a terrible Dale Gribble impersonation. There's fine line between being funny and being annoying and some people don't just cross it, they surpass it

My wife and I say this quite often.

It/He/She stinks and I don't like 'em.

It's a way random line from the first Spider-Man movie when people are talking about how much they love Spidey, and this cabbie like guy spits out that gem. We use it suprisingly often.

We have also noticed how often we use the "don't act like your not impressed" line. We were watching Law and Order and they had some cheesey scenario where they made this force fetish guy get wood on the stand, and both of us dropped the line at the same time.

It's really nice when you and your wife are of the same mind.

I like to throw out a "When in Rome" whenever it's most confusing to say. that's an easy one... although not a lot of people get that.

That's a good card to play.

Usually when we hear the word diversity, either abomb or I will say something about how the network doesn't care about an old, old wooden ship.

Anchorman staples.

Adam Carolla Show plays "Great story. Compelling and rich." as a drop quite a bit. Makes me laugh every time.

I find myself using that one a lot.

"We will have to remedy that now won't we?"


Bull Durham is great for this.... "Why's he calling me meat? I'm the one driving a Porsche."

I do a lot of quoting of comedian Brian Regan, personally. Most people have no clue. Thankfully, abomb speaks this language. We could carry on hours of conversation in Reganeese.

Yay my favorite sports team, score a goal unit.

I am stuffed to the RAFTERS!

Don't worry, I'm only IMPLODING.

8. Say 8. Happy 8 day.
(in combo or just one of them)

It's killing me.

Hoookid on fff-hhonicks wer-kid for meh

Good eye, Brian!

Take luck!!

Moosen! I saw a flock of MOOSEN! There were many of ‘em. Many much moosen. In the woods...in the WOODSEN!

Um…i before e....always?

Ok, captain you-planet.

Me-monster.

Hey, where was you? Where was you??

You better get crackin', banana-man.

I use this one more than prudence would dictate. Often met by an odd stare. I love it.

I’m a moron. I wasn’t even close. I was usin’ numbers and stuff.
(upon spelling something wrong)

The big yellow one's the sun.

Most of these involve the use of goofy inflections and such. To those that know the reference, they are comedy gold. To everyone else, I'm an imbecile.


I find the guy a treasure trove of off the wall quotes.

Oh, and also from Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog:


We do the weird stuff.

you know, like pie.

The hammer is my penis.

If asked how things are going, or what's up:

Ya know, life of crime.

But the status is not....quo.

I've got a PhD in Horribleness

I love that status quo quote.

And to take the Neil Patrick Harris stuff, I use a couple of Barney Stinson related things.

Legend-dary

Ok Swarlos

I've got issues.

Absolutely. A friend of mine and I always speak Office Space / Big Lebowski / Coneheads.

Whenever walk in the middle of a conversation and I want to annoy the people who ignore the fact I've walked up to them, I'll sometimes interject (over and over again):

I am the walrus. I am the walrus. I am the walrus.


Great quotable movie.

Eight year olds, dude.

Don't grow corn.

Regan is the least-known funniest comedian of the last 3 decades. I think he was maybe too clean for networks to take seriously, but I'd pay $50 to go see Regan before I'd pay $10 to go see Seinfeld. Maybe only Chris Rock has been as consistently funny the past 10 years, and even Rock can be hit-and-miss.
