Another I use a fair bit is, I think, Riggs from Lethal Weapon:
"Let's make like the shepherds and get the flock out of here..."

Although your post reminds me of "Is it as cunning as a fox what used to be Professor of Cunning at Oxford University..."

Mine are mostly from the likes of Python (Yes, we are all individuals), Not The Nine O'Clock News (Wild? I was absolutely furious!) and similar (Cheers: "I just look at Vera, Coach, and I can't").

Danny Baker's 'Nothing can possibly go wrong now' (normally said when your team are 2-0 up with 10 minutes to go and end up going down 3-2).

Not so much a catch phrase but I liked the old song with the line 'I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy' - makes little sense has a nice ring to it.

Roger Mellie's variation on Sir David Frost with 'Hello, good evening and b*ll*cks'!

Years ago, there was a very short lived Viz character called Hugh Phamism who I bet no one else in the country remembers. Anyway- he had loads of euphamisms some of which live on in this house to this day such as 'I'm just off to strain me greens' (going for a piss) 'I'm just off to oil me chain' (going for a piss) and 'I'm just turning the bike around' (going for a piss). He was clearly a keen cyclist (with a small bladder).

You can't beat 'Withnail and I' for great quotes:

Don't threaten me with a dead fish

I feel like a pig shat in my head

We've gone on holiday by mistake

Throw yourself into the road, darling - you haven't got a chance

I fail to see my family's of any interest to you. I've absolutely no interest in yours. I dislike relatives in general and in particular mine

We want the finest wines available to humanity, we want them here, and we want them now
