Do you use quotes from various movies or other form of entertainment in everyday life? Theres quite a few I use;
"You're gonna need a bigger boat..." from Jaws often gets used when I need more space for items.
"Mother Pussbucket" from Ghostbusters I use when I'm about to say "mother f*cker" and need to sensor myself.
"Don't bother me...I'm...um...thinking..." from A Christmas Story when someone interupts me when I'm deep in thought about something.
"I went out to face the world again...wiser..." another one from a Christmas story when I didn't realize something I should have realized at first glance.
"I hate the smell of tapioca..." one more from A Christmas Story...it kind of wraps up my negative feelings on Xmas.
"Oh, life is like that. Sometimes, at the height of our revelries, when our joy is at it's zenith, when all is most right with the world, the most unthinkable disasters decend upon us." -- I've used that one from A Christmas Story a few times, so has my girlfriend...
" I love the smell of ________ in the morning"
Very customizable.
Ever since I saw how the movie Elves stole the "When Hell is full" line from Dawn of the Dead, I've occasionally customized it for my own purposes at home! For example: "When the litter box is full, the cats will poop the kitchen". I know so many words are replaced that it doesn't resemble the original, but it's the way you say it.
And I know it's obnoxious and probably not funny anymore, but I still sometimes say "hhwwwWHAt!" like Lil John, especially when responding to co-workers when it's least appropriate and therefore extremely funny to me.
When I get frustrated trying to figure something out, I use one of two quotes;
Richard Pryer in Superman III- "You think you've beaten me, but you haven't"
The Chicken Hawk (Mimicking Foghorn Leghorn) - "One o'- I say, One o' these things has GOT to be a chicken"
My sign out for WRIR, "And thus we fold the ol' infotainment tent" is stolen from Webb Wilder's Corn Flicks
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0373768/
Only used with people I know have seen it:
Have you ever had... AN EGYPTIAN FEAST???
I take care of the place while the master is away!
Hey everybody! We're all gonna get laid!
Many others I can't think of at the moment.
I would lick her waist-Porky's Revenge. Put those cookies back, MotherF#@ker-Hamburger, The Motion Picture. What the hell y'all think your doin? This here's private property- Hide And Creep
I actually Say "I'm your Boyfriend NOW!" From Elm Street when I figure out something tricky at work. Sort of my old very wierd "Eureka"

When I put my daughter on the school bus in the morning, I usually tell her to "have fun stormin' da castle" in my best Miracle Max voice.
And when she's not eating her dinner, but already asking about desert, she gets Pink Floyd's "If you don't eat your meat, you can't have any pudding!" Again, in the appropriate voice.

Too many to list ... we quote movies all the time. But a few:
"Nipple tweak, and we're off" when we start on a trip, from mst3k riffing of "Radar Men from the Moon."
"I like the way he/she talks," said best Carl voice SLINGBLADE.
"We must give the American a wide berth," from THE HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER.
"Stay on target, staaay oooon tarrrrgggetttt," from STAR WARS.
Also from SW, "You're my only hope." This is usually said when someone is being a bit hystrionic.
"DEBRIS!" from TWISTER.
And lots more....
"That's a HUGE b***h!" from Deuce Bigalow. Both my hubby and I use the phrase to describe anything extremely tall or big. :teddyr:
"Ready when you are, Sgt. Pembry" from SILENCE OF THE LAMBS. My wife offers this one at ... interesting ... times.
Anything from The Big Lebowski

"I think yew got a purty mouf." from DELIVERENCE. To various girls. Good pick up line,eh? :lookingup:
"Groovy." EVIL DEAD 2. When I f**k someting up....like burning dinner.
"The horror...the horror..." APOCALYPSE NOW. For any unsavory situation.
"He's dead,Jim." When I see someone passed out drunk.
I'm sure there are more.....
Not really a saying, but lately I have been making the "wah wah waaaaah" whenever something fails or someone mentions that something failed on them. So far, no one has given me a dirty look yet so I'm keeping it up! :teddyr:
From Private Parts: "Being misunderstood is the fate of all true geniuses, is it not?"--- Generally if I say something that boggles other people's minds.
From Space Ghost, Coast to Coast: "OK, Terrific." Generally if someone says something that makes an ass of themselves, I just throw it out there.
From I Love You, Man: "Slappin' the bass, man!". If a song has a particularly great bass line, it results in me playing air bass and sayin "Slappin' the bass, man!", as in the movie they were fans of Rush.
From UHF: "People like that outta be put to sleep." Generally said if someone does something incredibly dumb or incredibly cruel.
When the you-know-what is about to hit the fan, I usually use a line I stole from Hellboy: "Ohhh......crap...." :teddyr:
He's dead, Jim
Ohh what Fresh is This?- Basically, when there's fresh Hell at anytime
Groovy
Of f**king going to kick your ASSADOR!- This is from The Vandals- I use it when I'm P.O.
Round up the usual Suspects-when going out with friends
Quite Frankly dear, I don't give a damn- WHen I refuse to do something.
From one of my all-time favorites, the made-for-TV movie "THE HOMECOMING: A Christmas Story" starring PATRICIA NEAL and RICHARD THOMAS as John-Boy in a role he'd reprise on TV for many years in the spin-off TV series "The Waltons", but the original movie had PATRICIA NEAL as the mother, EDGAR BERGEN as Grandpa, and a quite different setting and production than the TV series. Only ELLEN CORBY reprised her role as Grandma... all of the kids, though, stayed with the series from day one.
PATRICIA NEAL as Livvie Walton ("Mama") to Richard Thomas: "It's gettin' late John-Boy. Milk the cow."
Richard Thomas (to Judy Norton-Taylor as Mary Ellen): "Hmm... They'll grow." Mary Ellen: "What?" John-Boy: "Your bosoms."
Pat Neal to family at lunch: "Who wants to see somethin' pretty??"
John-Boy to unnamed girl at charity handout requiring biblical quote to get present: "Thy two breasts are like two young roes that are twins which feed among the lillies" Solomon's Song, Chapter 4, verse 5..."

A friend of mine got a lot of attention at a bar for doing his best Buffalo Bill impersonation of "Oh wait, was she a great big fat person?"
Yes, the good type of attention, and yet my Spaceballs quotes got me nothing!
If anyone asks me if I want something by saying only the item's name and presenting it to me:
"Yes, I know." (from Police Squad)
I don't use movie quotes often, but when I do I always make sure the other person(s) knows what I'm babbling about.
There was a time I would use all sorts of quotes from Beavis & Butt-Head or Wayne's World years ago but yeah, it would be silly using them now.
When things go rwong, I sometimes use Marius Weyers' pained "Ay yai yai yai yai!" from The Gods Must be Crazy. :smile:

Heh heh good one! Whenever I get in a heated argument with my friend I often use the line (paraphrased here) , "I love ya man but sooner or later you're going to have to realize you're an @sshole..."
There is a line i use when somebody around me is really stoned, i got it from Bobcat Goldthwaits first album "Meat Bob"- Just say no Little Bobcat. It always confuses the f#ck outta them :bouncegiggle:
(Used together with "OK" sign")

"Well, there's your problem" from Mythbusters- pretty self explanatory.
If I need my daughter to press a button, I always say "Push the button, Frank".
If there's something I don't care about or I don't like, I always say '...stick it to a frisbee and hurl it over a rainbow', which I got from Black Books.
Man, am I the only one who keeps seeing the thread title as SAVINGS you use.. I keep thinking, "Well, the leftover change I get when I buy a movie I use for the vending machines at work." Then I'm like, "DAMMIT! I MISREAD IT AGAIN!!!"
"Two words - therapy" which is from So I Married An Axe Murder. When Charlie (Mike Myers) confesses to his friend Tony (Anthony La Paglia) that he thinks his new girlfriend is a killer.
I usually say that to anyone who says weird @rse things. Which, lets face it, is pretty much everyone if you happen to be living my life.

I will occasionally use "HEAD! MOVE!" if somebody's blocking my view. Only around home, though. :teddyr:
Because some people believe that my middle initial T ~ for Thomas, after my dad ~ actually stands for TROUBLE, I normally look at myself in the mirror :buggedout: :buggedout: and use Keith David's line to Steven Seagal in Marked For Death:
KD: "Well, I'll be damned. Trouble."
SS: "That's me." :teddyr:

I'm always quoting that movie. Its one of the funniest films I've ever seen. My son does Stuart's Colonel Sanders rant brilliantly, Scottish accent and all. It never fails to crack me up :thumbup:
