Call & response

[Vermin Boy]

The MSTicisms thread got me thinking... Am I the only one who, upon hearing certain phrases in certain intonations, MUST deliver the follow-up line from a movie/TV show/whatever?

I remember a couple of years ago, just after Mad Magazine cartoonist Don Martin died, I found a treasury of his stuff at a comic shop and decided to get it. When I brought it up to the counter, the cashier immediately looked at it and said "He's DAY-ead!" I literally had to bite my tongue to keep from blurting out "WRAPPED in PLAStic!" (Twin Peaks).

Some other ones I use regularly:

"Who are you?" "I'm Batman!"

"What day is it?" "It's Christmas Day, sir!"

"Chief!" "McCloud!"

Not a specific line, but often when someone offers me something by holding it out and saying its name (Like, "Soda?"), I'll look at at it and say "Yes, it is." Or if they ask me something like "What's HBO?", meaning what channel number is it, I'll reply "It's a premium cable channel that shows uncensored movies, but that's not important right now." Both from Airplane.

yep, anytime someone blurts out "Stop", I'm compelled to follow up with "collaberate and listen". I never claimed to be witty.

I also use "I'm Batman" almost noone gets it. "I am Spartacus" also works if you say it many times in several different voices. and my absolute favorite.."They call me MISTER TIBBS!"

And although I usually need no prompiting line, when telling someone to do something or even to say something again, I say "Once more...wiv feeeewing"

I also use some Airplane lines. "....you can tell me, I'm a Doctor".."No, I've been nervous lots of times"

I am a sad, silly, wee, little man.

Ever since I saw Gene Simmons say "Without the fans, we're NOTHING" I haven't been able to say "nothing" right since. He said it like  "nUthNg" like it was diarrheaed out of his mouth!! It was great! i made fun of it for months! but now im doomed! doomed to have the word nothing fall out of my mouth like fast wet poo! he probably didnt even say it that funny and ive mangled his words in my brain for my own entertainment!   and for a while when i would get really upset id talk like dexter from dexters lab but i really didnt mean to! and i didnt want to!  but i couldnt help it! and when i realized i was doing id get really embarrassed!  and god forbid anyone mentions the word "brains" when talking to me cos i turn into an idiot and say something like "live brains?!".

love! colleen

Whenever someone yells out "stop!" I have a hard time not yelling back "IN THE NAAAAME OF LOVE!!" It's just too good not to.

My wife and I use that line...especially me...if someone's gets wacked really hard, especially in a sporting event.

It's based on a commercial where a football player gets clobbered and sits up and says "I'm Batman!"    So now if a receiver gets hit hard or a catcher gets run over at the plate..."I'm Batman`!"
