Horror alert: The Weinstein Company is reportedly trying to squeeze $8 million out of L’Oréal Cosmetics so that they’ll take over makeup and hair promotional privileges for seasons 6 and beyond of Project Runway. That’s a little scary, but so is the thought of TRESemé dropping out! This could SEVERELY cut into how "current" I will seem when I walk around the office chirping my favorite TV catchphrase from my hairstylin’ role model Heidi Klum: "Fuh-nished by Twess-uh-may [pause] Pwo-fessional Haiw Cawe." Oh well, I’ll just keep saying it anyway! Everyone will be thrilled.
What stupid quote that couldn’t possibly apply to the situation at hand do you annoy people with most often? The other top two in this office: ”Ant, aunt — what’s happening?!" (Michael Slezak, as Valerie Cherish), and a resounding "LEMME BORROW THAT TOP!" (Tanner Stransky, as Kelly).
HUGE news day!
Ah! My boyfriend and I let loose with a random “Shoes” a la Kelly all the time.
Most of the catchphrases I use are Family Guy quotes, and thusly inappropriate to post on the P-dub blog. But a current fave is “I WANT A PRETZEL TOO!”
Let’s see…moving to Lifetime, moving the show to LA, producers gone, and now no more TRESemme? The show keeps going back and jumping the shark again, and it’s making me very sad.
That said, whenever I go out I always annoy people with the Mean Girls quote, “Does this have alcohol in it?” “Oh no, sweetie, what kind of mother do you think I am? Why, did you want a little, because if you’re gonna drink I’d rather you do it in the house.”
Everytime I finish doing a minor task at home (like folding the laundry, washing the dishes, making the bed), I’ll occasionally slip in a “Cajun style”, based on James Carville’s appearance on “30 Rock.”
I also enjoy annoying my girlfriend whenever she’s in the kitchen making something (even cold cereal) by screaming “It’s raw!” ala Gordon Ramsay in “Hell’s Kitchen.”
Finally, whenever my GF is particularly sassy, I’ll say to her, “What’s with the atti, Ms. Tude?” which is from…well, it’s not really from anything. I made it up, and I’m trying to make it catch on (insert your own Mean Girls “Stop trying to make ‘what’s with the atti, Ms. Tude’ happen” joke here). Anyway, my GF used it not too long ago, so I got at least one person.
I’ve said it before, I’ll say it a MILLION times – the best quotes are from 30 Rock: “hey, dummy” “I’m bored. This is boring.” “I love it so much, I’m gonna take it out behind the middle school and get it pregnant!” I heart Liz lemon and Jackie boy.
“I could play the oboe.”
~ Mr. Heckles, from “Friends”
“Is butter a carb?” from Mean Girls.
My new favorite, “Oi, who turned out the lights?” Proper Dave on Doctor Who, Forest of the Dead. I want it as a ringtone!
A crazy female supervisor of mine whom no one can please recently got engaged, so I’ve been tossing around “Bridezilla” a lot. Only behind her back, of course, I’m not completely without manners.
Oh, and “these pretzels are making me thirsty” is a perennial favorite.
Oh, and I’ll shut up after this, I promise. We have an efficiency expert wandering around the office. I keep referring to him as “the Bobs.” Gee, maybe with him scoping us out I shouldn’t be posting a zillion times on popwatch……
1. Reserved only for the closest of friends, courtesy of 30 Rock: “Stop dressing like a small town lesbian.”
2. Also from 30 Rock, when I do something really off-the-wall: “Who’s crazier, me or Ann Curry?”
3. And a multitude of quotes from Arrested Development, including, “I don’t understand the question and I won’t respond to it”, “Alias is a show about a spy”, Tricks are something a whore does for money…or candy”, Well, we’re just blowing throw nap time”, and of course, “There are dozens of us, DOZENS!”
Dee, I’m with you on the AD quotes. At least 3 times a day I will pull out “Hey brother”
My boss and I do “shut it down” from 30 Rock all the time, and whenever my brother calls me, I answer with “hey brother” or “hey hermano” just like Buster. Lately my boyfriend and I have been saying “C’mon baby, you know you’re my world” which is slightly paraphrased from Scrubs.
The best all-purpose greeting or exit line is from America’s Next Top Model: “Y’all are all b*tches!”
I like to use “Stop looking at me, swan!” (from “Billy Madison”) a lot when someone or something (like my dog) is staring at me. It cracks me up for some reason.
