What is a line from a movie or TV show that you use as a default reaction to a specific situation?

[Tommy_Carcetti]

Either online or in real life?

I have a couple.

If I have caught someone in a situation where I know he or she is demonstrably incorrect and I want to politely but smugly prove them wrong, I'll start off by giving them this one from Fargo's Marge Gunderson: " I'm not sure I agree with you a hundred percent on your police work, there, Lou."

Or if someone is conjuring up some sort of insane, paranoid conspiracy theory and sounds absolutely unhinged, I'll reference George's line from the Seinfeld episode "The Gum": "Don't you get it? He's just doing it to fool Lloyd Braun!"

Or, if I ever want to call something a moot point, I'll throw in this line from Joey in Friends (I always found Friends to be mostly mediocre as a show, but I absolutely love this line): "It's a moo point. It's like a cow's opinion. It doesn't matter. It's moo."

9. If someone offers me an embarrassingly effusive compliment,

I usually say, jokingly, "Yeah, I get that a lot..." from The West Wing.

[Earthshine2]

It means I forgot something we needed for dinner.

15. Trust me, I know what I'm doing

From the TV show "Sledge Hammer!". It was Sledge Hammer's go-to phrase before barreling into trouble. He didn't know what he was doing. Sometimes neither do I, but that's not going to stop me either

Also, "do not taunt Happy Fun Ball". Usage varies but I find myself using it in situations with a long list of disclaimers or warnings about what will go wrong if something starts to go off track

[Mad_Dem_X]

16. From Seinfeld: "That's a shame."

When something bad happens to a person whom I don't particularly like.

22. I'm a big fan of "Sonja Henie's tutu!" to express great surprise,

but it usually gets nothing but puzzled looks. That was one of Col. Potter's expressions on MASH. I didn't even know who Sonja Henie was, but I thought it was hilarious.

[Harker]

23. "A man's got to know his limitations."

I also shout "Dinsdale!" at odd moments.

"Were you born a fat slimy scumbag puke piece of shit, or did you have to work at it?" comes out more than I'd like.

[Harker]

26. "What's your major malfunction, Pvt. Pyle?"

is a favorite, but nothing comes close to, "get the fuck off of my obstacle!"

Can't say I've had occasion to use that one yet.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

25. A variant of "serenity now" from Seinfeld.

"Sean Hannity now... insanity later."
