"I'd buy *that* for a dollar!"

Oh, i use that one Big!

The other one that gets used a lot is "yes" drawn out in a Jeremy Paxman style (this one is for brits only)

BigV 06-20-2008 05:06 PM

yes, yes.. do you remember the film?

DanaC 06-20-2008 05:09 PM

Too right. Robocop. That scene with the cop shot to pieces and the game show playing in the background was a shiver down the spine job.

Such a shame they retrospectively fucked it up by producing appalling sequels :P

Airplane is a big source for me.

It's amazing how often people hand you the straight line you need.

"Yes, I am serious, but stop calling me Shirley."

When I hand over the HIPPA notice to more with-it clients, they get told they can make a hat, a brooch, or a pterodactyl out of it.

I am a big fan of Star Trek (TOS), so "Logic is a little bird, tweeting in a meadow" gets heard in the office fairly often.

South Park is good ... Shennanigans, I'm not fat, I'm festively plump, respect my author-i-tay, Drugs are Bad mmmkay.

Remember, there is no shortage of meathooks on which to hang the bodies of our enemies. - Paraphrased from "Conspiracy"

Just found this one on youtube.

I had it on (audio) tape. Listened to it until the tape warped.
Ones I still use occasionally:
"The electric telephone"
"What-so-ev-er" in that accent
"Stiff as a board and bright green" - you'd be surprised how often that comes up!
".. and beginning to sme-ell"
"Or at least it would be, if it were true" although I admit I've paraphrased it over the years, not having access to the source. I tend to say... "well... if it was true!"

As usual for me, it's all about intonation and accent. Some of them I'd forgotten where they came from.

What I would really love to do is quote a monologue/ duologue on here and have it read on youtube by person/ people who have never heard it before. Not to make fun of them, and specifically not to recreate the original. Just to get another take on something I am really familiar with.

Pro - we all have cherished comedy that people in other countries haven't seen
Con - the majority of Dwellars are notoriously shy
