Catchphrases that stick with you...

Apocalypse Now:-

"Never get out of the boat." Absolutely goddamn right! Unless you were goin' all the way..Kurtz got off the boat. He split from the whole ****in' program."


Too many times in my life I've got out of the boat, now I tread wearily.

Frank Bruno:

"Do you understand what I'm getting at Mr Carpenter"

 

[Hilldodger]

Not really a catch phrase but a line from a M&W sketch.

To the sound of a speeding fire engine Eric says "He'll not sell many ice creams travelling at that speed"

Can't see an emergency vehicle with its sirens/lights going without repeating it - even if I'm on my own

In Leicester I saw a chap on a penny chasing after one of those screaming for his ice cream . Would that have been you Hilldodge?

"I'm Free" - from that ancient sit com ------ ???? Oh lordy my memory is going. The one where Molly Sugden's character had a "Pussy".

 

[twentysix by twentyfive]

Ah - got it "Are you being Served?"

And of course "Young Mr Grace" - at least 90 "You are all doing very well"

Are You Being Served?

(the ? is in the title I think, it's not me being unsure)

And I'm fairly sure, it's "Wild? I was livid!", not furious...

another classic from M and W - "I'm playing all the right notes, but not necessarily in the right order!" The sideline to the joke being that actually, I think he is playing them in the right order, but syncopated and in a different key.

Yup. Caught him, too

Yup - thought so.

 

[longers]

Scorchio!

 

[Norm]

...Not The Nine O'Clock News (Wild? I was absolutely furious!)

And I'm fairly sure, it's "Wild? I was livid!", not furious...

I'll split the difference with you.

It's "Wild? I was absolutely livid!" (1'10" into this). You got the livid but missed the absolutely. God Bless the Internerd.

Punt and Dennis 'World of Wine.
You poured it on a fish?

 

[Aperitif]

I always say something when there is a casual comment of "Oooh, it's warm out"

Anyone who has seen Morecambe and Wise will know the catchphrase element of this.
Anyway, I tried to find it on youtube, to no avail, but give yourself a treat and a smile by taking a look at this bit of fun.

 

[TheDoctor]

Pfffft! That was superb

Morecambe and Wise, the Two Ronnies. Timeless, classic, harmless brilliance.
