PTM - some really good ones.  Made me think of:

Never wrestle with a pig.  You both get dirty, and the pig likes it.

I have plenty of used movie lines, and they are all situational.


Here are my two favorites that - as a parent of three - are applicable to most every situation I encounter these days.


TV Show: "Children are the future... today belongs to me."

Movie: "Don't make the same mistakes I did. Got it? [turning to my wife or another adult*] Or else the whole world tastes like Mama June after hot yoga."

*If children are present.
Wow, I'm very concerned for Benny.  Being able to mimic Myron Medcalf's writing so closely implies an oncoming case of dementia.

I probably use some of these too much:

Don't call me Shirley!

It's in the hole!

Toto, I've a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore.

You talking to me?

What we've got here is failure to communicate.

I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore!

Houston, we have a problem.

You can't handle the truth!

I'll be back.
and of course: Hasta la vista, baby.

Lots of Adam Sandler movies (Big Daddy, Happy Gilmore, Billy Madison), Jim Carrey (Ace Ventura, Dumb and Dumber), National Lampoon Vacation movies, Caddyshack, Home Alone. I'm sure there are more.

Also, The Office, Seinfeld, Friends from TV

Strangely, I use a few from Dodgeball

"Cram it up your cram hole, LaFleur!"

"I'm shocked!"

"You're about as useful as a poop-flavored lollipop!"
Calvin:  I'm a genius.  But I'm a misunderstood genius. 
Hobbes:  What's misunderstood about you?
Calvin:  Nobody thinks I'm a genius.

I regularly use quotes from Godfather, Caddyshack, etc
These top 100 lists have many of them:

Recently, I had to laugh when I noticed my 5 year grandchild was using a quote from Frozen...the tradition will live on without being taught. lol

PAPA (Fredo voice)
Cram it up your cram hole.
His head fell off!
Why don't you eat up and we'll tell ya.
So I got that going for me...which is nice.
It's in the hole.
I don't think the heavy stuff's going to come down for quite a while.
You'll get nothing and like it.

And basically the entirety of Step Brothers...
There's so much room for activities.
I didn't want salmon! I said it four times!
This wedding is horsecrap.
I'm not going to call him Dad. Even if there's a fire.
Luscious V of hair from my chest pubes down to my ball fro.
Stay gold, pony boy.
Investors? Possibly you!
Did we just become best friends?
Your voice is like a combination of Fergie and Jesus.
It was Johnny Hopkins and Sloane Kettering, and they were blazing that crap up every day.
Dane Cook, Pay Per View, 20 minutes, let's go!
This is a house of learned doctors.

If a day goes by without a Caddyshack quote, something has gone terribly wrong.

others:
"If someone asks you if you are a god, you say YES"

"This s#$ts chess, it ain't checkers"

"Is it behind the rabbit?"

"Hey, I'll tell you what. You can get a good look at a butcher's a$$ by sticking your head up there. But, wouldn't you rather to take his word for it?"

"Would you put on some pants, it feels weird having to ask a second time"

"Stop preparing, you're always preparing, just go"

"then they're on double secret probation!"

"What was all that one in a million talk?"

Many many others as well.
"A Plan? Oh man, I hate plans. That means were gonna have to do stuff. Can't we just have a strategy......or a mission statement."

Timing and context being important..... I learned that when you tell your boss that they have managed to make your fire department into a combination of a Dilbert cartoon and the movie Office Space, comparing what they are currently worrying about to an obsession with cover sheets for TPS reports..... yeah, sometimes that can piss them off.     Who knew?
Luke 6:45   ...A good man produces goodness from the good in his heart; an evil man produces evil out of his store of evil.   Each man speaks from his heart's abundance...

It is better to be fearless and cheerful than cheerless and fearful.

Context .....that reminds me of a conference call.

I was hired to advise some Nevada folks on buying some gaming assets out of a casino bankruptcy.

During the call one of the Nevada guys says ...."what about the related licenses...what should we bid for those?..."

I couldnt resist...

I said..."Now the price of the license is less than 20,000 dollars, am I right? ..."

The guys actually says..."thats right"

I reply...."Now why would we ever consider paying more than that? ..."
The guy is a little confused ....so (as I am committed) I go all the way...and say..." well ....you can have my answer now if you like. Our offer to them is this -- nothing. Not even the fee for the gaming license, which I would appreciate if you all would put up personally..."

Finally another lawyer bursts in.."Godfather RIGHT!!'''....

It finally got a bit of a laugh from all those on the call, but I think they thought it less funny/appropriate than I.

Yup, context can be important. Oh well..I had a chuckle, anyway.
I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.
