....Yes.. What are some unknown catch phrases which you yourself find particularly funny, which help you get through your day? Maybe they're from a movie or a tv show, or maybe they're from your own real life, such as a former boss I once had who was throwing me cases of frozen waffles at the grocery store's back freezer, saying with the seriousness of an investment banker, "Homestyle. Regler'. Buttermilk. Homestyle. Homestyle. Buttermilk. Regler'. Regler'. Regler'. Homestyle. Buttermilk. Regler'...." (regler' = oklahoman for regular..)
..or maybe you, like me, enjoy small quotes from movies which haven't made it quite yet as far as "Here's Johnny!" or "You talkin' to me?"..
...For example I from time to time think of "A Fish Called Wanda" when the Nietzsche-loving guy played by Kevin Kline said in some forgettable scene "I'm disappointed!!" when a character in a lesser movie might have angrily killed someone... <= understand, I'm not saying the movie is great, but that snippet is certainly worth remembering and planting in your internal discourse to make your day move along a bit more smoothly, psychologically...
...I bet you all have some good ones to share...

i say "I've made a terrible mistake" (arrested development) after i realize i've made a big mistake.
but maybe that's no so uncommon.

I was saying this for awhile, but then I was re-watching the series and realized it's actually "I've made a huge mistake." For some reason, "I've made a terrible mistake" sticks better with me. I guess it's kind of like how the phrase "Luke, I am your father" never actually appeared in any Star Wars film. Which brings me to this:

Whenever the light turns from red to green in my favor, I pump my fist at the now-stopped traffic stream and say:
"Now it's my time to shine."
-
:-O
i've made a huge mistake!
-
Pretty much anything from this movie
[youtube=425,350]sNXF2UEGDqI[/youtube]
but especially:
I want you inside me.
... like Playboy titties.
McKinley and Ben! This is for you!
Oh, fuck my cock.
I'm gonna go fondle my sweaters.
-
Lots of em, but one for now:
"Oh, my back. I think I pulled it."
or...
"Perhaps a smaller rock."
-
I've been reading Wodehouse lately and the one that he uses that I like is: "Tight as an owl." It means drunk. I'm not sure what makes owls tight though.

you'd figure that an animal that has to poop ripping bone balls would be pretty loose.

In this clip from the Human Giant Marathon, Fabrice Fabrice (The Beast From the East) says, in response to a caller from Miami, "Ay! Bienvenidos a Miami" or something like that.
http://www.mtv.com/overdrive/?id=1560033&vid=149988
Since the day I saw that clip, every time I hear someone mention Miami, I hear Fabrice Fabrice saying it in my head. Or, if I'm alone, I say it aloud and giggle.
Bing bong!
(PS. Fondue with cheddar)

That's from that horrible Will Smith song. Miamians love any song that mentions Miami. It's true. I got my friend to play "Fuck Me Pumps" by Any Wino in a club one night -- OVERNIGHT SENSATION.
-
The one I ACTUALLY say is:
"A human ear?"
But the one I WISH I said is:
"You know what a love letter is?"
-
I used to work with a guy who always used to agree with whatever the foreman said, and he would always say "That is true, Stan, that is true."
I heard it so often I say it a lot now
-
I've been using the phrase "It's just a fact," regarding anything that's obviously true.
I got it from this guy:
[youtube=425,350]NHuGG_FsC20[/youtube]
Yep, it's the worst song ever. And here's the source:

NSFPD! It's just a fact.
-
One hundred and ten times harder? That's a difficult thing to guarantee. That person seems pretty specific.
A spam email guarantees that I can "shoot up to 13 feet." a) I'm not sure how useful that would be and b) why can't I shoot up to 14 feet? Why am I limited to a baker's dozen?
-
I don't know, but he sounds like a teenager trying to get into his girlfriend's pants. It's unsettling. I think the email was written around 2005, so that would have made him around 30 according to Wikipedia. YIKES. Word of advice, guys, use spell check. Firefox comes with a built-in spell checker. Nothing turns a girl off more than bad spelling and grammar.
-
why can't I shoot up to 14 feet? Why am I limited to a baker's dozen?
I feel your pain. Well, I don't, really, but your anguish is evident and searing.
And, Laurie, unfortunately spell-check wouldn't have caught a lot of the mistakes in that text. Too many homophones, for one thing.
-
I imagine "searing" is the feeling of generating enough internal pressure to make even a paltry 13-foot shot.
-
Oh, and about this:
NHuGG_FsC20[/youtube]
I thought "hornet . . . sonnet" was exceptionally noteworthy, as both an example of inspired rhyming and an exercise in non sequitur. Of course, the breathiness was grand as well--and so unstudied.
-
To link two topics - unknown catchphrases and Ray Manzarek:
I use a shorthand of calling actors by the title of their best-known movies, but not the character the actor played.
To wit (for actor Kyle MacLachlan):
Dune really convinced me that Ray Manzarek was an asshole, even though the movie was written to show Manzarek in the best possible light.
You could also use, "Blue Velvet."
Every time David Krumholtz is on TV, I say "Shut up, Numb3rs!"
-
Every time David Krumholtz is on TV, I say "Shut up, Numb3rs!"
Oh really? I tend to say, "And his gee-ee-nius brother!" Which is sad, because David Krumholtz is a funny guy in what I assume is a shitty show.
-
The show is shitty but I find it entertaining for some bizarre reason. There was a comment on IMDB that said the show was "too Jewish." How could anything with Judd Hirsch be "too Jewish?"
It only got massively better for me when I saw in Parade magazine's awful, awful Hollywood questions column that someone had asked, "Is David Krumholtz really a math genius?"
Answer: [spoiler alert]
No.
-
I have something less creepy to contribute to this thread:
"Lighten up, it's just fashion!"
I don't know if I would consider it unknown. I think it's moderately well-known.
-
I always seem to say "You two are having a ladies' conversation" from Flirting With Disaster.
Also "My husband is food-phobic" from same movie.
another good one is: "Neurotic guy? That's my designation?"
-
sometimes when i say i did something once that i'll never do again i go, "I went to Apple Bee's once, Once! and i hold up my index finger to emphasize once.

How would you like to come over and mow my lawn?

WET out THERE toNIGHT!
(maybe it'll break the heat.)

My worst offense of excessive use of a catch phrase is due entirely to Tom.
I say Holy Guacamole about 5000000000000000000000 times a day.
Jeepers is a regular part of my speech pattern as well.
-
Richard, right now you have 420 posts. Spark up before you type any more responses!!

I've been saying "HOLY MOLY" very frequently. It's catching on with my friends now.

I was just watching the ESPY awards and cried something fierce during the segment about Kay Yow, the NC State Women's Basketball coach who is battling breast cancer.
What really took me over the edge was her little "unknown catch phrase" which is a really really good one:
"When life kicks you, let it kick you forward."
-
I once heard my dad say about a fellow factory worker (the Ford Glass Plant in Nashville Tn) "If he was on fire and somebody was pissing on him to put him out, I would step in between them."
God I miss him.
-
My grandfather had some good ones, rest his soul.
If you asked him how he was feeling, and he wasn't feeling so good, he'd say: "I'm kicking, but not too high."
Re. someone who is nuts: "He doesn't know whether he's afoot or horseback."
-
My granddad, too:
"You hold your taters till I peel mine."
Another "he's nuts" one: "He ain't wrapped too tight."
Once we were watching a commercial for Lysol with "Country Fresh Scent." I said, "What's country fresh smell like?" My granddad said "a fairground toilet."
Best guy EVER.
-
"When life kicks you, let it kick you forward."
That is hot.
-
"Grieving is not a team sport."
-
I am trying to get my own phrase worked into the lexicon (this is my second toilet talk offense today, I am so sorry) it is a variation of a standard.
There is no "I" in Asshole.
-
from You Can't Do That On Television, I will say "...Don't encourage your brother" or "don't encourage your sister" -- however it applies to the situation.
and i also say "brain games is now o-ver" after i've finish doing something that was mentally exhausting - like taking a test or filling out a form. its from a mini tv show "Brain Games" that was on either PBS or HBO.
also, just to clarify, when i posted that Johnny Dangerously quote, I was not implying that they ever went to Applebee's in the movie. I was just talking about the "Once, ONCE" part. I LOVE that movie, though i haven't seen it in ages so it might not be as good as i remember.
-
i thought of another 2 when i was driving.
"im a risk taker!" Bottle Rocket
"at least i'm safe inside my mind" Spongebob
-
I use Pardo's "wish you a lotta luck with that" every now and then.
-
My buddy always asks about things he has contempt for thusly: "How's that ______ workin' out for you?"
For example: "How's that hot yoga workin' out for you?" (I don't actually do hot yoga, just sayin'...)
variation: "Hope that hot yoga works out for ya!"
But he says it totally straight faced, and he's not generally sarcastic, so that makes it way worse.

Is this based on Fight Club?
Narrator: Tyler, you are by far the most interesting single-serving friend I've ever met... see I have this thing: everything on a plane is single-serving...
Tyler Durden: Oh I get it, it's very clever.
Narrator: Thank you.
Tyler Durden: How's that working out for you?
Narrator: What?
Tyler Durden: Being clever.
Narrator: Great.
Tyler Durden: Keep it up then... Right up.
-
in case anyone was curious about hot yoga, i just wanted to say, i do it & its working out GREAT!
i highly recommend giving it a try - you might find that you enjoy doing yoga in a room with 100° heat & 50% humidity for 75 minutes.
even though the room smells really bad at first, soon enough your intense perspiration and physical discomfort distract you from the smell.
that night you'll sleep like a baby and the following day you may not need coffee!
its the miracle workout. just be sure to drink lots of water.
-
Hmm... I don't think it's based on Fight Club. I suppose it's been around for a long time.
btw, I didn't mean to inadvertently dis on hot yoga.
