Quoting films/tv shows in everyday life

Larkin00

In a friends house on New Years Eve for a session. About 4 am the session has died and most people were gone, only me and a few hardcores left. Someone decides to make sandwiches, egg sandwiches to be precise. As she's making them she asks does everyone do they like egg, i reply with "I love egg so much sometimes I think I might turn into an egg", waiting for someone to reply with "I think that process has already begun", however nobody did and they all sat there confused and thinking I was a bit of a muppet. I had to explain that the quote was from Fr. Ted.

Anyway I'm wondering do many of you use what you think are fairly well known quotes in everyday life or have yous any funny stories of it backfiring and nobody having a clue what you are on about.

There is an appropriate Simpsons quote for every possible situation in life.

I know this is turning into a Tedfest but I'm a big fan of "How did that gob****e get on the television?"

I'm a silent movie fan myself so what i do is I mime scenes from the silent classics in everyday life.

Folks love it, there always looking at me and laughing.

"Well, that's just like, your opinion, man"

Best response to an insult.

Long live The Dude.

Simpsons, Fr. Ted and Friends would probably be the ones I'd use the most. A few of the lads would quote Star Trek every so often too... I might consider making new friends

-You want a toe? I can get you a toe, believe me. There are ways, Dude. You don't wanna know about it, believe me.
-Yeah, but Walter...
-Hell, I can get you a toe by 3 o'clock this afternoon... with nail polish. These ****ing amateurs...

+1 on the Friends quotes. There seems to be a suitable one for most situations

A.Partridge classic.

Anyway "About 4 am the session has died and most people were gone, only me and a few hardcores left".

Who keeps going after 4am? By 4am everythings gone to crap, if its 4am you probably haven't scored, you feel mouldy from the drink (any buzz is gone), the music has all been played, most people are gone, sunlights starting to creep in, you've already been talking sht for the night so you're out of 'hilarious stories'.
just people sitting around in a room that has to be tidied later, with nothing to look forward to except going to bed and waking up crusty later on. and your bedroom will be bright so no proper darkness.

sorry...ive just been left scarred by these things.

That is hilarious, didn't realize there was that amount of profanity haha

Pretty much am always thinking of Arrested Development quotes to relate to any situation.
This isn't exactly a quote, more so an action, but a few weeks ago I went out, and had quite a bit to drink. The result was me doing the AD chicken dance all night, everywhere we went. I even tried to convince the bouncer at a pub to do it with me. Keep in mind that absolutely no one who I was with had ever seen Arrested Development, so they were utterly confused. They did find it pretty hilarious though.
South Park and is something I quote from quite a bit as well.
Friends- definitely! I'm constantly quoting from it actually. That show has a quote for every single situation.

As for films, Anchorman all the way! Too many quotes to choose from! Although I do love lamp...

NegativeCreep

I can never ever remember quotes. So, no I don't use them. I get bored of people who use them all the time fairly quickly too.

Why are you trying so hard to fit in when you were born to stand out?

"Feels like I'm wearing nothing at all...NOTHING AT ALL." Has served me well. Can't beat a bit of Ned Flanders.

That, and some casual quotes from Dodgeball, Friends and Father Ted never go amiss!

Do this a lot. Few well timed ones, too.

A good one from my boyfriend a few years back - there was a cactus with a label of information and it was in German (like the BBQ instructions in French from the Simpsons) and he goes "DER CACTUS?! WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?"

I went through a patch of insomnia a while back. My boyfriend woke up one night with my twisting and turning. He asked what was wrong. I replied "Can't sleep. Clown'll eat me!" We both got a great laugh and he went back to sleep.

Before I watched Family Guy I thought a guy I knew was hilarious.

Turned out every witticism he ever made was lifted from Seth McFarlane.....

If in doubt just quote anything Ralph has ever said

Ace Ventura will get you out of almost any situation.
If through some misquotation or fault of your own it fails you could always dazzle and confuse them with a V for Vendetta quote.
Some guy dressed up as V bought me a pint on Hallowe'en after I was able to quote the whole "Voila! In view a humble vaudevillian veteran..." bit.
