Movie quotes that are part of your daily vocabulary

[midnightlouise]

My people! Like many of you, our family has whole conversations in song lyrics, movie lines, book quotes, etc. Christmas Vacation figures heavily in our repertoire. "She's ugly as sin but a sweet gal and a helluva good cook..." We can recite the whole movie at this point lol. Others that are used frequently:

"Thank you very little" "So I got that going for me, which is nice" "You'll get nothing and like it" (Caddyshack)
"The price is wrong *****" "you can have a nice warm glass of shut the h*ll up" (Happy Gilmore)
"Your Mom goes to college." "Knock it off, (insert name) and make yourself a dang quesadilla" (Napoleon Dynamite)
"If I'm not back in 5 minutes, just wait longer" (Ace Ventura)
"Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit drinking (or smoking etc.)" (Airplane)
"I fart in your general direction (etc.)" Monty Python and the Holy Grail

DH and I will use Full Metal Jacket quotes, too, but not around the young 'uns. If possible, we're even worse with song lyrics. We'll sing it rather than say it. Makes other family members, co-workers, and random strangers crazy lol

My family speaks in movie quotes like a second language. We carry on entire conversations in lines from various movies. My siblings' (I have 6 of them) SOs often have a steep learning curve.

Christmas Vacation - pretty much the entire thing. "She'll see it later...her eyes are frozen shut," "Bend over and I'll show ya," "Here Russ, you work on that," "It's Christmas and we're all in misery," "A whole quarter," "You serious, Clark?" "Nah, he's probably just nosin' through the trash," "Woowee, look at the time! I still have homework to do..." "If you need me, I'll be upstairs asleep," and our all-time favorite, "I don't KNOW Margot."

Pretty sure we must be related...

Looks like it! We also break into song randomly. It's just what we do. It baffles me that there are people who don't live this way.

Oh, and Friends and Seinfeld lines...daily.

 

[kimblebee]

haha yeah, same for us! Seinfeld especially. Sadly I also quote Spongebob lol. DS15 starts a lot of sentences with "So this guy..." and I invariably break in with "who knew this guy, who knew this guy, who knew this guy's cousin" and boy does my son get bent! You'd think he'd have learned by now. That literally happens every other day.

We don't say goodbye, we say "Have fun storming the castle!" from The Princess Bride.
Also, "...and I don't need anything else, except this lamp" (or whatever we're carrying at the time) from The Jerk

Movie lines, TV lines, music and at least 80% of Steve Martin's Wild and Crazy Guy routine.

Anytime I'm chopping broccoli I sing "Choppin broc-o-laaaay!" Until oldest DD saw the SNL Anniversery special apparently she thought it was my thing, lol.

"The dishes are done, man!" Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter is Dead
"Work, work, work" and "Badges (replace with whatever we're talking about) we don't need no stinking badges." Blazing Saddles
"Cheeseburger, cheesburger, cheeseburger! No Coke, Pepsi!" SNL
"Just call me ear-responsible." Dr.Dog, The Muppet Show
"I don't NEED you. I can do this show ALONE. I often do! "More Wine!" "May I mumbo dogface to the banana patch?" "In college they said this was all bull-" Steve Martin

That last one, my dad was in the ICU in a very bad way and was very out of it, making no sense, every ten minutes was like I had just arrived. The doctors couldn't tell us if it was just the meds or if this was his new normal. Then one day he popped off with the "in college" line and I started laughing hysterically until I was crying. I know the nurse thought I was nuts but it showed me my dad was still in there. (It turned out to be the meds thank goodness)

Not too many movie quotes but my sister and I do burst frequently into song (usually show tunes or Disney movie songs) if it's relevant. My fiancé thinks I am crazy. I like it that way.

 

[shoney]

"this one time, at band camp" American Pie

 

[Skywalker]

"You're gonna need a bigger boat." (JAWS)...we use it quite often. It is very adaptable lol.

 

[Soldier's*Sweeties]

Soooooo many. But the ones we use the most are:

"Aca-scuse me?" -Pitch Perfect (Aca-anything really)
"Yeah, I did! And yet, maybe I didn’t, because I got hit by flying Mexican food." -Pitch Perfect
"Shtop looking at me Shwaaan!!!" Billy Madison
"What's in the box?!?! Oh God! What's in the box?!?!?"
Pretty much any rule from Zombieland
"That KID is back on the escalator again!" -Mallrats

Not from movies but T.V.:
"Assbutt" -Supernatural
"Yesterday was Tuesday. But today is Tuesday too!" Supernatural
"Yuuuuuuuuup" -Storage Wars

I could go on... But these are used at least once a week.

 

[anniemae]

Dr. Evil: I haven't laughed that hard since I was a little girl, thank you.

 

[Soldier's*Sweeties]

Oh yes! I just remembered. The threenager I babysit looks exactly like Lacey Chabert so I call her Gretchen(Mean Girls). Almost every time I give her something, a meal, a snack...I follow it up with "And none for Gretchen Weiners."

 

[Adipoo]

What is your major malfunction? Full Metal Jacket

Oh yeah, you blend. My Cousin Vinny



It's surprising how often those quotes are relevant!
