TV Comedy phrases you use in real life

[Pavilionaire]

Following on from the comedy 'head to head' threads I got to thinking about how influential some of these programmes really are.

Quite of lot of Partridge lines and phrases have passed into my common usage, i.e. "back of the net", "smell my cheese", "mentalist", "sex people" etc but my personal favourite is one I use every year at 11am on 25th December when my wife and I adjust our dining table for Christmas dinner - "Yes, it's an extender!"

 

[Meade's Ball]

I find myself saying "nadgers" which i got from Bottom - although my nadgers have never been found in my actual bottom or anyone else's - and "bed goes up, bed goes down" *repeat* and use reference to the "sword of Damacles" thanks to The Simpsons. All other comedic comments are of my own making. *copyright*

 

[LU7 RED]

Vote for 'Yes, it's an extender' here too.
Mike Young Ones - 'I don't want to be negative, but no'
mARK & lARD - 'Would you Adam & Believe it..'

 

[surrey jim]

Find myself saying 'Lovley Jubbley' a fair ammount now.

 

[The Large One]

"I have a cunning plan."

".. and the vegetables? Oh, They'll have the same..."

 

[JCL - the new kid in town]

D'oh

 

[Fourteenth Eye]

Here have a pineapple

 

[Westdene Seagull]

Personally .... "vanished like an old oak table".

I found it rather amusing when I went to Egypt that so many of the locals would greet me with "Lovely Jubbly"

 

[fisons]

You started it - you invaded Poland

What did you expect the Hanging Gardens of Babylon perhaps

Same. Ridiculous amount of Partridge makes it into my conversation. One of the easiest to use is 'Lovely stuff' and I'm very proud that some of my friends now use it, having never heard it in it's original context.

They do that in Tunisia as well, trying to get you into their "Asda price" restaurants

 

[Willy Dangle]

Not really a comedy phrase but.....smashing super lovely

 

[Nathan]

[Simster]

More Partridgeisms:

"Absolutely"
"It's not 5 star but certainly competitive"
"Rock and roll, let's all have a PEAR"

 

[Mowgli37]

"THAT was liquid football"

Partridge doing the commentary

 

[Biscuit]

"back of the net" and "mentalist" were around long before Partridge, surely?

 

[TomandJerry]

"It's like trying to fit a hippo in a match box"

 

[Mowgli37]

"back of the net" and "mentalist" were around long before Partridge, surely?

I suppose he popularised them so I'd say they qualify for the thread
