Hmmmmm. The only thing I can think of Jean-Luc is Lucy saying: RICKY!!!! (when in trouble)....THAT was always funny to me....)I'm afraid I don't watch many Sit-Coms cause basically I don't think they are very funny...BUT, I am hooked on the re-runs here, late at night, of FRAZIER....That does make me laugh out loud at times.....The wrting is wonderful and the actors are SUPERB! I never watched it when it was on originally....And Now, I cannot get enough of it...! LOL!
I FORGOT to say...Michele sent me! Sorry....!
How about:
"He's not the Messiah, he's a very naughty boy" - Life of Brian.
I know it's a film, but it's a great line!
Michele sent me to say hi.
I like the one from the Faulty towers
I'm not so good at remembering catch phrases, so I'll probably pass. But anything from Black Books would be good for me. Here today via Michele's - Hiya.
hmm...
I really can't think of any right now...
not from TV
Don't hate me because I am beautiful?
One of my favorite lines from the Simpsons that I use whenever possible:
"Oh anyone can use statistics to prove a point, 18% of the people know that."
I use a lot of Simpsons quotes in my daily life.
I cannot answer this. I do not watch any on the Yankee programmes. For that matter, I seldom watch TV. No time!
Howeber, glad Michele sent me over to read all the funny answers!
"not that there's anything wrong with that"... seinfeld on gay life
smiles, bee
Michele sent me back to have another go.
One from Black Books:
Bernard to Mannie: "You're just a beard with an idiot hanging off it aren't you". Or something like that.
"Have you tried turn it off then on again" - The irish bloke from The I.T. Crowd.
"Oh, very clever, Worf. Eat any good books lately?" Q
That one has always stuck with me. Most of what he has to say is amusing (to me, anyway).
I like Jaime's quote. I don't watch that much TV and Amanda isn't home to help me out with a free phrases so I guess I'll just enjoy reading this week!
"Mind the pedestrian, Dear."
Hyacinth on Keeping Up Appearances. Every time we're driving, I use Hyacinth driving quotes to my husband.
Ernie sent me to say this:
"The customer is always cowardly and superstitious." Captain Malcom Reynolds - Firefly
"Mind the pedestrian" is a good one!
I always thought that I was a pretty good TV Addict but when it comes down to this....I can't think of a single quote. I'm disappointed!
Not exactly a TV comedy, but first a radio comedy. Hitch hikers guide to the galaxy.
"Lintilla, throw the gun" and one that really confuses the children is "so it's eddies sofa then?" - we tend to throw them into conversations!
But the best one is;
"you dancin'?"
"you askin'"
"I'm askin'"
"well I'm dancin'"
from the Liver Birds, the Liverpudlian girls sharing a flat in the early 1970s.
"When everyone is out to get you, paranoid is just good thinking"
"Doctor" Johnny Fever from WKRP in Cincinnati
"Don't play dumb with me, you're not as good at it as I am"
Col. Flagg in M*A*S*H
Also numerous quotes from Homer on The Simpsons
"Son, when you participate in sporting events, it's not whether you win or lose: it's how drunk you get."
"I don't know, Marge. Trying is the first step towards failure."
"Marge, it takes two to lie. One to lie and one to listen."
"Lisa, if you don't like your job you don't strike. You just go in every day and do it really half-assed. That's the American way."
"Just because I don't care doesn't mean I don't understand."
And last but not least:
"Hi. Michele sent me."
