'Do you EMQ?' 'Are you talkin' to me?'

It has to be fresh and not used to death. My husband beats his own bizarre, not funny, EMQs like dead horses.

I have an ongoing problem with most of the usual supects listed:
Zoolander ("He's so hot right now.")
Winthnail & I ("Don't threaten me with a dead fish!")
Simpsons ("Counterfeit jeans." "The car-hole.")
Office, but the British version ("said the actreess to the bishop" is the British version of "that's what she said.")
My wife could probably mention 10 or 15 more, but three that own my life that I haven't noticed:
Say Anything ("What do we love? PAIN!" "It's the sport of the future." The buy, sell, manufactured speech, etc.)
Clue ("I had to stop her screaming." "Flames, flames up the side of my head, burning, burning..." "And monkey's brains, though common in Cantonese cuisine...")

And the single most all-purpose great quotatble line of all time:
Ghostbusters.
"Sorry, Venkman, I'm terrified beyond the capacity for rational thought."
"Right. That's bad. Okay. All right. Important safety tip."
"We came, we saw, we kicked its a$$!"
And on and on...

"Toe pick!" - The Cutting Edge

queen of disrepair Tue, Oct 30, 2007 at 06:21 PM EST

Holy Grail, The Godfather, and my new favorite from "Stranger Than Fiction" whenever something isn't as bad or wrong I thought it would be "thank you for forcing me to eat the cookies" My son will quote Ace Ventura because it matters not how many times he's seen the movies - he still laughs so hard stuff comes out of orifices.

Anon Tue, Oct 30, 2007 at 06:08 PM EST

"We both like soup" (Best in Show)--that whole movie is quote worthy!

"Very niiiice!" (Borat)

"7 minute abs" (Something About Mary)

"No, it goes to 11" (This is Spinal Tap)

Lovin' it Tue, Oct 30, 2007 at 06:05 PM EST

"I got something on my mind grapes" (30 Rock)

"Oh, you woke the bears, why did you do that?" (Anchorman)

"Have you lost weight? Well I have been trying this new diet I invented. All I"ve had to eat for the past three days are jelly beans, gummie bears, and candy corn. God, I wish I had your discipline" (Romy&Michelle)

"Stop trying to make 'fetch' happen!" (Mean Girls)

"Yeeeesh" (The Office)

"Sometimes you have to show a little skin. This reminds boys of being naked, and then they think of sex." (Clueless)

"Earmuffs" (Old School)

"I don't want a large farva. I want a goddamn litre o' cola!" (Super Troopers)

And being from MN, I say this a lot (esp in the winter)"Harry, your hands are freezing!" (Dumb & Dumber)

stephanie Tue, Oct 30, 2007 at 05:49 PM EST

i have EMQ!! i quote anchorman, old school, napoleon dynamite and borat on a daily basis!!!

Mare Tue, Oct 30, 2007 at 04:34 PM EST

At work, whenever my boss has me do something, I reply, "I'm right on top of that, Rose." And, at home, my husband and I always use the random quotes from Wedding Crashers and Anchorman - "I love lamp."

teecee Tue, Oct 30, 2007 at 04:13 PM EST

i forgot to write this earlier: my husband can quote apocalypse now by heart. and what's scary/amazying/weird is that he can come up with lines from that movie at any point and time. he is teaching our son "i love the smell of napalm in the morning." it cracks the little guy up.

Lucy Tue, Oct 30, 2007 at 03:09 PM EST

I quote Darla lines from Dazed and Confused all the time. My favorite, of course, is: "What are you looking at? Wipe that face off your head b----." Also, I am not a huge Friends fan, but I do find myself randomly telling people that I am "wearing two belts."

Sandy Tue, Oct 30, 2007 at 02:21 PM EST

Whenever a friend/boyfriend/family member gets really worked up over something pretty minor, I like to channel Homer and exclaim "Sweet merciful crap!" in response. I also seem to use "you're/they're the suckiest suck that ever sucked" to describe all types of sundry people and lousy sports teams. Gotta love Homer Simpson....

katie Tue, Oct 30, 2007 at 01:49 PM EST

"Beep Beep Ribby Ribby" (30 Rock)
"Like dees" (random Meg Ryan movie)
"What am I a Farmer? (30 Rock)
"I've Made a huge mistake" (Arrested Development)

and more- love the quotes (TV more than movies these days)

Ashley Tue, Oct 30, 2007 at 12:55 PM EST

I quote Buffy so often, it's gotten to the point where I don't even remember that I'm quoting. I think I'm just really clever (and sometimes British). The Office is the other one that's totally out of control in our household. We even do the Andy/Michael fist bump bomb handshake. It's borderline embarrassing.

boredatwork Tue, Oct 30, 2007 at 12:48 PM EST

"Aaaaaaalrighty then" Ace Ventura
"Rrrrrriiiiiiight" Dr. Evil in Austin Powers
"We're really doin' it, Harry!!" Dumb & Dumber

Stephanie T. Tue, Oct 30, 2007 at 12:37 PM EST

My Halloween costume is a banana. When I showed it to my boyfriend Dave, automatically he quoted Brian from The Family Guy, "IT's PEANUT BUTTER JELLY TIME!"

reh Tue, Oct 30, 2007 at 12:32 PM EST

Not a lot of movies that we quote regularly. Anchorman comes up - There's "I'm expressing my inner anguish through the majesty of song" when I'm listening to an emotional tune. There's Veronica's little "power...powerrr" mantra when I need to psych myself up. Otherwise, we like The Office. "Emotionally magnificent" is a phrase I'd like to work into my everyday vocabulary. We've adopted Kevin's "hot circle of garbage" description for bad pizza.

Anon Geek Tue, Oct 30, 2007 at 12:25 PM EST

Oh, and ANYTHING Cartman says is worth repeating, over, and over, and over again......
"I hate you guys!"
"Respect my Authority!"
"You're breakin' my bal*s!"
And so many more.....I'm sure there is a whole sub-culture out there of "Cartman Q'ers".

wildecat Tue, Oct 30, 2007 at 11:59 AM EST

My husband and I don't go a day without saying "Eh-eh-eh-ehcellent" like Mr. Burns, usually while tapping our fingers together (EMQ with choreography!) It works in almost any situation: "Dinner's ready!" "Eh-eh-eh-ehcellent", "I got the mail!" "Eh-eh-eh-ehcellent" "The kids are finally asleep!" "Eh-eh-eh-ehcellent", you get the picture.

Anon Geek Tue, Oct 30, 2007 at 11:59 AM EST

My sister still quotes from The Beatles' movies, especially from HELP! (I think): "Steady, I am steady." Cracks me up every time! My son is all over South Park quotes. This week's fav seems to be: "I'm totally serial."

Amy Tue, Oct 30, 2007 at 11:29 AM EST

My husband and I are avid Zoolander quoters:
"God, is that you?"
"You too can die in a freak gasoline-fighting accident"
"ORANGE MOCHA FRAPPUCINOS!"
"Oh, I'm sorry, did my pin get in the way of your a$$? Lose 5 lbs immediately!"

miv Tue, Oct 30, 2007 at 11:24 AM EST

I quote a lot of Dumb and Dumber "Let's pick 'em up!" (if i see a hitchhiker)
So I Married an Axe Murderer "Evil, like fruids of the devil" or anything having to do with the KFC colonel being evil
Wayne's World "I don't even have A gun, let alone many guns that would necessitate an entire rack"
Showgirls "I'm a dancer!"
Big Top Pee Wee "What do ya mean, Mace?"
and many many more

Ep Sato Tue, Oct 30, 2007 at 11:06 AM EST

Man move over and let me pass, else I have to be pullin' these hush puppies out yo' Mother F---ing azz!

There's so many things to say, but sometimes Dolemite's words are so much better than anything I'd ever be able to come up with. I'm an unapologetic EMQer, and the worst kind because I'll often mix quotes or get them totally wrong with conviction!

Dillon Tue, Oct 30, 2007 at 11:06 AM EST

Mean Girls, Heathers, and Jawbreaker are the worst for me.
Mean Girls:
"I Just Wanna Lose 3 pounds" (anytime people talk about healthy food or dieting"
HEathers:
"Lick It Up Baby, Lick it up!"
"What's your damage?"
"Bullimia is so 1987, Heather"

Jawbreaker: pretty much all of Rose McGowan's lines..
"Learn it, Live it, Love it" -(I use this way too much)
"My nail polish is called decayed just like our relationship"

I do quote TV alot as well
Buffy:
"I'm 5 by 5" - still have no idea what it means but I use it all the time

Will and Grace:
"Honey what's this, what's happening, what's going on here?" w/ the Karen hands of course

and of course the biggest habit I am trying to break is my overuse of
"Seriously? Seriously?" thank you Izzie.

Stephanie T. Tue, Oct 30, 2007 at 10:52 AM EST

Flim and TV quotes are always used too many times but it can be used for unintenional irony. For example, a couple of days ago I saw 30 Days of Night. The first vampires that appear are the leader, a female and a guy who looked like the lead singer of Smash Mouth. The way they were lined up, I immediately thought of Superman 2 when Terrence Stamp said "So this is planet Houston."

Here are some of my favorite quotes:

"Let's Take the Cheese"- Animal House
"Well, we're waiting!"- Caddyshack
"What sre you looking at butthead?"- Back to the Future
"I Don't Know"- Fast Times At Ridgemont High
"This one doesn't have a mirror at home!"- Buffy The Vampire Slayer"
"Yeah right"-Waynes World
"As if"-Clueless

Nose Tue, Oct 30, 2007 at 10:51 AM EST

"You keep using that word. It does not mean what you think it means"...that's paraphrasing, but you get the idea.

Jamie Tue, Oct 30, 2007 at 10:50 AM EST

When I'm mad; "Tell 'em I'm coming and Hell's coming with me!" (Tombstone)
"Go on, get your a** out of here" In full southern twang (Pure Country)
"What do you want me to do? Dress in drag and do the hula?" (The Lion King)
"I'm going to bed before you come up with another brilliant idea to get us killed, or worse, expelled." (Hermione, HP & Sorcerer's Stone)
Yes, I suffer from EMQ, but I'm also a fountain of useless information. (Isn't that another one?)
Plus I've got tons more I can't think of right now!

Sadie Tue, Oct 30, 2007 at 10:01 AM EST

Whenever someone is having a bad day, I interject "Our pets heads are falling off!" from Dumb & Dumber. Also, I adapt "Milk was a bad choice" from Anchorman to suit whatever really was a bad choice.

As for TV -- WAAAAY to many to list.

Annie Tue, Oct 30, 2007 at 10:01 AM EST

I tend to quote Romy & Michele a lot.

"If anyone needs to make a call... I've got a phone."

oh, and "I'm the Mary!"

Mardie Tue, Oct 30, 2007 at 09:59 AM EST

There's nothing more annoying then those who quote the old stale catchphrases. Seriously, saying "show me the money" in 2007 is just plain idiotic. Though I do have my fair share of guilty lines. I say "Someone hates these cans!" a lot... as well as random lines from Drop Dead Gorgeous ("close your legs Miss Penthouse '98, you could drive a boat show in there") or Superstar/Sybil ("look at you with your face all painted up - you're nothing but a slut, Sybil Ann Dorsett") Good times.

Suz Tue, Oct 30, 2007 at 09:50 AM EST

We quote Beerfest all the time, The Big Lebowski (the dude abides)and of course Arrested Developement. COME ON...
Now we can't stop quoting 30 rock..."never go to a 2nd location with a hippie"

WF Tue, Oct 30, 2007 at 09:47 AM EST

The annoying ones are the obvious ones: "You can't handle the truth!" "You had me at hello" and their ilk.

And as much as I love the movie, Monty Python and the Holy Grail has been quoted to death, likely preventing many from ever watching the film for fear of developing EMQ themselves, running around crying "Nih!"

Some of my all-time faves:
"I was born a poor, black child." and "I need this!" -- The Jerk
"Did you try staples?" and "You can hardly see them nipples." -- Scrooged
"I'll stay up and moan. Maybe I should practice now." -- When Harry Met Sally
"Work's your favorite, make that your favorite." - Elf

in the TV world, anything from Futurama, preferably the absurd ones like, "Spoon's in the foot powder!" and "My ancestors came over on the sandwich!"

And pretty much anything from Firefly, especially, "My days of not taking you serious are definitely coming to a middle."

Eric Tue, Oct 30, 2007 at 09:26 AM EST

My buddies and I got into the habit of yelling "Extreme" and pumping our fists at every possible moment from Harold and Kumar go to White Castle.

tex mex Tue, Oct 30, 2007 at 09:24 AM EST

for some reason my hubby & i find great amusement in "Goonies never say die! But I'm not a Goonie."
as well as:
"I don't feel I need to explain my art to you, Warren."

"Look what you stole: rap, metal, rap, metal... Whitney Houston."
"It's for my girlfriend, alright?"
"Sure it is. Warren, someone like you needs to minimize your criminal impulses, not mazimize them. Maybe some jazz, or some classical."
"Maybe you bite me."
(Empire Records)

"I have no responsibilities here whatsoever." (A Few Good Men)

"I have what doctors call a little bit of a weight problem." (Tommy Boy)

"What are you, mental? We broke up! Get the net!" (Wayne's World)

"Phil? Like the groundhog Phil?"
"Yeah, like the groundhog Phil."

"Morons, your bus is leaving."

"Looking foxy tonight man! Is your troop selling Girl Scout cookies this year?"
(Groundhog Day)

And regarding Office quotes (for which there are many), we're always saying "WhatUP ma-NERDS??"

Sarah C Tue, Oct 30, 2007 at 09:20 AM EST

Most of my EMQ comes from Arrested Development and The Office. For a true movie, it's embarrassing: Old School.
--Fill it up again!
--I don't know; I don't know if we'll have enough time!
--He looks glorious!

Also, I'm convinced that two people in my circle are unable to speak except when quoting Futurama and Family Guy. I have never seen an ep of either, but I can fill in the blank of quotes with the best of 'em.

Ames Tue, Oct 30, 2007 at 09:19 AM EST

Just yesterday in a business meeting, someone referred to launching a new project as taking it out of the closet. So naturally, I started singing "Trapped in the closet." A lot of funny looks were thrown my way.

kim Tue, Oct 30, 2007 at 09:00 AM EST

I will quote Caddyshack until the day I die ("Your uncle molests collies" is my personal fave..."). And my number one response to my husband when he asks, "know what I mean?" is courtest of Miss Cordelia Chase: "Seldom if ever."

susanarosa Tue, Oct 30, 2007 at 08:55 AM EST

My boyfriend and his friends sit around quoting The Big Lebowski. All. The. Time.

For me it's mainly Monty Python, "Huuuuge tracks of land" and Heathers, "Great pate Mom, but I've got to motor if I'm going to make it to the party on time."

Dixie Tue, Oct 30, 2007 at 08:51 AM EST

I know it's not a movie, but ever since last week's episode of The Office I can't seem to stop saying "[Insert name here] is being a little b!#ch again."

Kate Tue, Oct 30, 2007 at 08:42 AM EST

What pop-culture junkie wouldn't suffer from EMQ?? There are so many great movie/TV quotes, but if I had to rank my top 5, here they are:

5. "NO SOUP FOR YOU!" (Seinfeld)

4. "I'll have you know I have the reflexes of a cat & the speed of a mongoose. Throw it! I DARE YA!" (Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls)

3. "What say you fuzzy britches?" (Shawshank Redemption)

2. "MORE COWBELL!!!" (SNL)

And my all time fav! I absolutely love saying this one…especially when I call mom because it scares the bejesus out of her....

1. "Do you still hear the lambs screaming Clarice?" (Silence of the Lambs)

Molly Tue, Oct 30, 2007 at 08:41 AM EST

As Ryan Philippe says in "Playing by Heart,":

I have an endless capacity for useless information.-->I have a movie quote to demonstrate my EMQ.

Anyway, The Office has trained me to look for "That's what she said" moments...

Catherine Tue, Oct 30, 2007 at 08:34 AM EST

"Pivot! PIVOT!"
and my friends and I can quote most of Empire Records: "Damn the man. Save the empire"
And whenever someone says "Who's with me?" The good answer is "I am"!!!

To K Tue, Oct 30, 2007 at 08:29 AM EST

heehee..."I wrote a new song. It's called GET UP."
"He took my essence."
"I'm breezy."
(One of the best epis of Friends EVER! Hubby and I quote it all the time.)

K Tue, Oct 30, 2007 at 08:21 AM EST

I should also add that my husband likes to think he can quote "Army of Darkness" from start to finish. If I had a nickel for every time I've heard:
"This is my BOOMSTICK!"
"Gimme some sugar, baby"
"First you wanna kill me, now you wanna kiss me...BLOW."
"Yo, she-b***h, let's go!" (he frequently uses that one when I'm making us late to go somewhere. I usually hear him chuckling to himself afterwards. :) Sigh...love.

Janitor Tue, Oct 30, 2007 at 08:20 AM EST

The good: Anchorman ("I'm in a glass case of emotion!") quality stuff.
The bad: Ace Ventura ("Alrighty then!")
The ugly: Zoolander/Napolean Dynamite.
It really depends on YOUR circle of friends, what you've been accustomed to. Sucks if you're stuck in someone else's circle, with a movie you've never seen...

DawnLD Tue, Oct 30, 2007 at 08:15 AM EST

Oh and if we're going with tv too, how can you not say "Suit UP!!"

K Tue, Oct 30, 2007 at 08:15 AM EST

Lots on here that I'm also guilty of ("You're killing me, Smalls!" is awesome.) but I tend to have a Friends episode and accompanying quote for every day of my life..."In the words of AA Milne, 'Get out of my chair, dillhole',""I KNOW!" and "Je ma blee bloo" are some favorites.

DawnLD Tue, Oct 30, 2007 at 08:13 AM EST

Definitely recall seeing this topic a few months ago but, it's still a fun one.....Off the top of my head, I'm going with "Are you crying? There's no crying! There's no crying in baseball!!" My sister and I use it all the time (even though we're not crying!) : )

Nicole Tue, Oct 30, 2007 at 08:10 AM EST

i'm so glad that there are others out there. i always find myself doing this but none of my friends know what i'm talking about. but if you get me and my sister together and even mention billy madison, we will do the whole movie. also, me and my friend's boyfriend can quote chappelle's show for a while, which she hates because she doesn't watch it.

Laura Tue, Oct 30, 2007 at 08:10 AM EST

Come on, who doesn't quote from the Princess Bride?

Silv Tue, Oct 30, 2007 at 07:44 AM EST

I've been known to slip in a few of the "Mean Girls" quotes already mentioned here - and from time to time, a "Friends" quote that might have stuck in my head - "Too many jokes! Must mock [insert name]!" or "My boyfriend is ever so dreamy.." when a friend got a sappy text from her new BF; didn't realize I'd picked up "Seriously?" from Grey's...

Chris G Tue, Oct 30, 2007 at 06:47 AM EST

I do quote movies way more often than i should, but my real problem is excessive Golden Girls quoting. I know pretty much every episode by heart. I can hear words like cantalope, square knot, wallpaper paste, or Charlie horse etc and have a quote ready... let's just say those people in my life are a split second from putting my away as if I was Sophia or something. And I am I the only one who says "Now listen up you withered old Sicilian monkey!" when I'm mad at someone??

S Tue, Oct 30, 2007 at 06:38 AM EST

"I'm kind of a big deal...people know me." ~Anchorman

I say this all the time, haha.

Spoiler Tue, Oct 30, 2007 at 04:24 AM EST

OK, now I know we did this same thing as a Popwatch Confessional in the past 6 months. Can we come up with some new stuff????

Lesley Tue, Oct 30, 2007 at 04:20 AM EST

Anonymous guy- that's totally Buffy. Spike to Xander when Anya's ex-boyfriend walks in.

teecee Tue, Oct 30, 2007 at 03:48 AM EST

these are things i say to my son every day! man of the house: i don't think so...joey! (my son's name is NOT joey). dirty harry: PUNK! terminator: hasta la vista, baby. and this is not a movie, but part of my vocabulary: I KNOW! (monica geller). my husband and i have this game where we say a quote and the other has to guess the movie. we love coming up with "obscure," random qoutes we remember. btw, i've loved reading all your comments.

Jenn67 Mon, Oct 29, 2007 at 10:08 PM EST

I don't think I go a day without telling my son, "you're killing me Smalls." I love the Sandlot. Princess Bride is HUGE for us, as evidenced by my previous post.

My name is jenn, and I'm an EMQer Mon, Oct 29, 2007 at 10:03 PM EST

thank God I now have a diagnosis. My husband and I cannot carry on a conversation without quoting movies. It drives people around us nuts, but we've never had a name for it. EMQ! "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."

Cranky Mon, Oct 29, 2007 at 09:21 PM EST

This is no laughing matter, people. Until recently, my own mother suffered from a very serious case of EMQ. I had to stage an intervention and gently but firmly tell her that it's 2007, and nobody quotes the original "Austin Powers" movie anymore. She's in remission now, but I just hope and pray she never gets hold of a "Friends" DVD.

Devin Mon, Oct 29, 2007 at 09:13 PM EST

I don't know if this counts, but pretty much everybody says, "I know, right?" which is what Rachel McAdams' character says all the time in "Mean Girls." I honestly don't know if this was a recent development or if I just never noticed before.

TVfreak Mon, Oct 29, 2007 at 08:55 PM EST

I'm guilty of it too. Mostly quotes from Scrubs
"Look what the cat tried to drag in before it was skinned and eaten..."
"When the dark prince finally does call you home..."
Also at work, we'll start quoting Undercover Brother and Zoolander when we get bored.

Pamela Mon, Oct 29, 2007 at 08:51 PM EST

Seinfeld, all the time: "Move the shoes, move the shoes, move the shoes".
Like other posters, I too also quote Monty Python and the Holy Grail.Can't get through the day without saying at least once,"Your mother was a hamster", to no-one in particular. All time fave, and useful in so many situations,"Cats and dogs, living together!!" - from Ghostbusters. Never gets old.

Mon, Oct 29, 2007 at 08:35 PM EST

If things go well I might be showing her my O-face. "Oh... Oh... Oh!" You know what I'm talkin' about. "Oh!"

Mon, Oct 29, 2007 at 08:32 PM EST

And I said, I don't care if they lay me off either, because I told, I told Bill that if they move my desk one more time, then, then I'm, I'm quitting, I'm going to quit. And, and I told Don too, because they've moved my desk four times already this year, and I used to be over by the window, and I could see the squirrels, and they were married, but then, they switched from the Swingline to the Boston stapler, but I kept my Swingline stapler because it didn't bind up as much, and I kept the staples for the Swingline stapler and it's not okay because if they take my stapler then I'll set the building on fire...

mg Mon, Oct 29, 2007 at 08:32 PM EST

Pretty much everyone has already said this, but I, too, quote Arrested Development pretty much every single day. I also quote Firefly and the Office. I know those are tv shows and not movies, but they are the things I quote the most. As for movies, I quote The Sandlot, Elf, Breakfast at Tiffany's, and Monty Python and the Holy Grail quite often.

Mon, Oct 29, 2007 at 08:13 PM EST

I quote Arrested Development, Scrubs, Buffy the Vampire Slayer (tv show), and John from Cincinnati.
As far as movies go, mostly foreign: Breathless, Pan's Labyrinth, Fallen Angels. But also 80s movies like Teen Witch and Better Off Dead.

Try and guess which this is from out of what I wrote down:
"You there, do you know where there are babies to eat?"
Guy being asked turns to friend: "Where do you think? The hospital?"

the sandlot has to be my all-time fave. "for-eh-ver." "you're killing me smalls." etc etc. also, to maggs, my whole family quotes emperor's new groove. "can't let it go, not even on your birthday." this could go on forever...

C C Mon, Oct 29, 2007 at 08:07 PM EST

I guess the movie we quote the most in my household is Moonstruck. So many great lines:

"I don't care! I ain't no freaking monument to justice!"

"No matter what you do, you're gonna die, just like everybody else."

"There's the kind of pipe you have, which is garbage. Then there's bronze, which is very good. Except when something goes wrong. And something ALWAYS goes wrong. And then there's copper, which is the only pipe I use. It costs money..it COSTS money because it SAVES money."

"I'm confused."

I unfortunately quote "Pretty in Pink" Duckie Dale whenever I need to leave somewhere in a hurry! "I'm off like a dirty shirt"

Jorge Mon, Oct 29, 2007 at 07:24 PM EST

Withnail & I, man...SCRUBBERS! SCRUBBERRRRRRRRRRRRRS! I WANT SOMETHING'S FLESH!!!!! MY THUMBS HAVE GONE WEIRD!!! WE WANT THE FINEST WINES AVAILABLE TO HUMANITY!!! ...oh god, stop me...please...

Maggs Mon, Oct 29, 2007 at 07:11 PM EST

My sister and I quote both Ace Ventura and The Emperor's New Groove constantly. It's normal to us but when we go out people look at us like freaks. So we politely tell them, "Alllrighty then" or "Bad Llama"...hee hee!

Caitlin Mon, Oct 29, 2007 at 07:05 PM EST

my roommate excessively quotes dane cook. unfortunately, it's contagious and "f--- shoes" has become a staple saying for me.

also, my friend and i say "cheese it, it's the bulls" everytime we see a police officer (newsies)

rachel Mon, Oct 29, 2007 at 06:59 PM EST

totally there with the Mean Girls quotes! I also constantly quote the original 'mean girls', Heathers. "F*** me gently with a chainsaw", "What's your damage", and "I don't patronize bunny rabbits" among others.

arrested development all the time...i know not a movie...wishful thinking.

Margaret Mon, Oct 29, 2007 at 06:50 PM EST

Yes, yes, yes, and yes.

And in addition to movies, I also quote standup comedians often.

I am such an EMQ, that when I do actually have an original, funny idea, people will say, "What is that from?"

Sigh.

tia Mon, Oct 29, 2007 at 06:48 PM EST

I quote Tremors way too much. "Don't you have a home to go to." works great in traffic. And Walter has the best lines, "I didn't DO it!" "Graboids!...You gonna be sorry you didn't give it a name." So many other great lines too.

RayT Mon, Oct 29, 2007 at 06:46 PM EST

Totally agreeing with the previous poster. Mean Girls is definitely my generation's favorite quote harvest ground. Other constant quips:
"Boo, you whore."
"I like INVENTED her."
"I don't hate you because you're fat. You're fat because I hate you."
"I want my pink shirt back!"

Oh, Lindsay. We'll miss you.

Rae Rae Mon, Oct 29, 2007 at 06:46 PM EST

i constantly find myself quoting Clueless...those just never get old

Cat Mon, Oct 29, 2007 at 06:22 PM EST

Mean Girls is excessively quotable...some gems:
"Do you even go to this school?"
"Ohmygosh I love your (insert "fugly" outfit item here)! Where did you get it?"
"God love ya, you girls keep me young."
...those three are applicable almost anywhere.

Lesley Mon, Oct 29, 2007 at 06:07 PM EST

My husband and I have been known to quote TV shows to each other. Not to other people, because then it just gets annoying. My favorite is, "I don't understand the question and I won't respond to it" and recently, "Amaaahzing!"

Rose Tyler Mon, Oct 29, 2007 at 05:22 PM EST

My brother Evan and best friend Danny cannot get through any conversation without quoting any number of movies. They are also known to call you at random and ask you to name the movie a quote came from. My husband is still stuck trying to figure out "okay bye bye". He even netflixed "Only You" hoping it was the source. It was not.

Roman's Aunt in Arizona Mon, Oct 29, 2007 at 05:16 PM EST

I EMQ Ferris Bueller all the time.

"I am very cute, very alone and very protective of my body! I don't it violated or killed, okay? Speak any English? DICKHEAD!"

"[enter name of anyone] is so tight, if you stuck a lump of coal up his a** in two weeks you'd have a diamond"

I could go on and on.

Oh, and I have also started to use 30 Rock phrases in daily conversation. Namely....Enorme'....Chase the chunk...

SJ Mon, Oct 29, 2007 at 05:14 PM EST

Reminds me of that episode of "Undeclared" when Rachel dates that guy that won't stop doing impersonations. He was a talented guy, but I'd be gouging my eyes out too after a couple of dates.

Kirsten Mon, Oct 29, 2007 at 05:04 PM EST

Not a movie, but everytime my friends and I watch a team get a first down in a football game we quote "That'll move the chains" from a Saturday night live skit. very sad.

jonathan Mon, Oct 29, 2007 at 05:04 PM EST

When i am on a plane and it is experiencing turbulence, i jump up and scream, "Pull up Striker, we're too low!"

Sarah Mon, Oct 29, 2007 at 05:01 PM EST

My cousin is a chronic sufferer of EMQ. On Saturday for Halloween, he was Borat and was harrassing people at Dennys at 3 in the morning, it was hilarious. My sister and I suffer from ESQ - Excessive Simpsons Quoting, which is ten times worse than EMQ.

Bec Mon, Oct 29, 2007 at 04:50 PM EST

Anything from Zoolander. I slip them in and see if anyone catches them. If they do we can be friends.

Kirby Mon, Oct 29, 2007 at 04:49 PM EST

Hey, me too! COME ON!
