The Top 16 Most Popular TV Sayings
This was sent to me by my wife. I want to give proper credit to the creators, and I think it originally came from Yahoo! If I’m incorrect please let me know. Anyway, enjoy this awesomely fun list!
16. “Eat my shorts!”
Who says it: Bart Simpson, “The Simpsons“
Why we love it: It’s to the point, insulting, and irreverent, just like the show at its best.
15. “Book ’em, Danno.”
Who says it: Jack Lord, “Hawaii, Five-O“
Why we love it: The best procedurals produce great catchphrases (“Hill Street Blues‘” “Let’s be careful out there,” for example), and this weekly signature has entered the American lexicon. The case was never closed until you heard those famous words — it was the “Law & Order” banging gavel of its day.
14. “How rude!”
Who says it: Stephanie Tanner, “Full House“
Why we love it: This one is all about the delivery. Taken on its own, it’s little more than just another middle child whining. But with Stephanie’s pursed lips, raised eyebrows and “harumph” attitude, it becomes instantly memorable.
13. “Make it work!”
Who says it: Tim Gunn, “Project Runway“
Why we love it: Because Tim Gunn is the man, that’s why. Carry on.
12. “Son of a b—h!”
Who says it: Sawyer, “Lost“
Why we love it: It’s tough to own a phrase this common, but nobody says it quite like the surly one, Hoss.
11. “That’s what she said.”
Who says it: Michael Scott, “The Office“
Why we love it: Sure, the writers of “The Office” didn’t invent this versatile zinger, but we can thank them for making it OK to use it in our own office. You know, because we’re 13-year-olds at heart, just like Michael.
10. “Jane, you ignorant sl–…”
Who says it: Dan Aykroyd, “Saturday Night Live“
Why we love it: Aykroyd brilliantly lampooned right-wing rhetoric 30 years before Stephen Colbert with this sexist jab.
9. “Legen- — wait for it — -dary”
Who says it: Barney Stinson, “How I Met Your Mother“
Why we love it: We just can’t get enough of Barney’s awesomeness. His blustery bravado hits at a universal truth: You either know a Barney or are a Barney. Check yo’ self, people.
8. “…for me to poop on!”
Who says it: Triumph the Insult Comic Dog, “Late Night with Conan O’Brien“
Why we love it: Robert Smigel’s off-color, cigar-smoking talking dog was just weird enough to work. Just when he got people to start talking to a puppet, he’d lay this gem on them — prompting hilarious shock value.
7. “Oh my God! They killed Kenny!”
Who says it: Kyle and Stan, among others, “South Park“
Why we love it: In a show that satirizes our culture’s love affair with extreme violence, this catchphrase punctuates one of the show’s funniest recurring jokes: They mercilessly off Kenny in nearly every episode for the first five seasons.
6. “Let’s hug it out, b—h.”
Who says it: Ari Gold, “Entourage“
Why we love it: In the venal shark tank that is Hollywood, it’s as close to touchy-feely as these macho men have gotten.
5. “Holy _____, Batman!”
Who says it: Robin, “Batman“
Why we love it: The Boy Wonder’s aw-shucks exclamation dovetailed nicely with the show’s campy tone. Plus: It helps us write headlines.
4.”What’choo talkin’ ’bout, Willis?”
Who says it: Arnold Jackson, “Diff’rent Strokes“
Why we love it: This giggle-inducing question underscored the white man-adopts-black-boys show’s inherent message about learning to accept differences.
3. “Yada, yada, yada”
Who says it: Multiple cast members, “Seinfeld“
Why we love it: Because we all use it, but “Seinfeld” deconstructed it. “How can you ‘yada-yada’ the best part of the evening?” Jerry asks, when Elaine is less than forthcoming with a date’s juicy details. “I mentioned the bisque,” she answers tartly.
2. “Dyn-o-mite!”
Who says it: J.J. Evans, “Good Times“
Why we love it: We know it’s only technically one word, but its delivery was often accompanied by J.J.’s hilarious rhyming couplets about his prowess with the lay-deez.
1. “How you doin’?”
Who says it: Joey Tribbiani, “Friends“
Why we love it: Matt Leblanc’s dirty-dirty reading of the simple line gave it life, while forging a new comic frontier for the played-out playa character. Plus, it works! Try it.
Top 50 Reasons to have Sex
My wife and I love the show, “How I met Your Mother.” It’s kinda like a Friends incarnation. There are 5 characters, 2 of which are married. Of the other 3, Barney is the king of one night stands, Robin is a news anchor and Ted is an Architect. During a conversation the married couple had a dispute where the husband said the only reason to have sex is for love. The wife and other characters disagreed, saying there were many reasons. The husband challenged the wife to come up with just one, but she came up with 50. How many reasons have you used?:
Obama Makes First Cabinet Selection – Crosses Party Lines
In a surprise move, President Elect Barack Obama quickly filled an important position by crossing the aisle. “I want to begin my presidency by filling a top position with a person I respect, admire and believe in.” The position of Secretary of State requires expertise in negotiation with foreign powers. Typically it is a partisan position filled by a senior member with vast knowledge and experience. The position is also fourth in line for the presidency, hence the excitement over the move. “Her foreign policy experience is second to none. She is on the front lines and has proven successful in managing what many believe is a tenuous situation.”
“For the extremely important post of Secretary of State of the United States of America, I nominate Governor Sarah Palin of the great state of Alaska. Some have asked me why? My answer is simple. She said it best:”
“Alaska has a very narrow maritime border between a foreign country, Russia, and on the other side a land boundary that we have with Canada…(that enhances my foreign policy experience) because our next door neighbors are foreign countries. They’re in the state that I am the executive of.”
Governor Palin could not be reached for comment, but is said to be mulling over this position with sincere thought. Randy Scheunemann, John McCain’s chief foreign policy advisor, said, “This is a brilliant move by the President Elect. This could be the first step towards healing relationships with foreign countries. Sarah Palin will shine in her new role.”
Who’s the most excited person in the Palin camp? Amy Strozzi, Gov. Sarah Palin’s traveling makeup artist. Ms. Strozzi, who was nominated for an Emmy award for her makeup work on the television show “So You Think You Can Dance?”, stated, “I can’t wait to dress her up in the various outfits she’ll need when visiting so many different countries and cultures! It’ll be like dressing up a doll!” Ms. Stozzi was paid $22,800 for the first two weeks of October alone for her work on the presidential campaign. Also excited about the possible move is Angela Lew, who is Ms. Palin’s traveling hair stylist. She got $10,000 for “Communications Consulting” in the first half of October for the campaign. “You know, when I did Sarah’s hair and came up with that cool updo, I was asked by Tina Fey to do her’s also. My business has really taken off!”
Governor Palin’s husband Todd, when asked his thoughts on the move, said, “Look out Saks 5th and Neiman Marcus, we’re coming for YOU!”
Governor Palin is set to announce her decision later this week. Last night, after Senator McCain’s concession speech, she boarded a plane headed to Illinois, presumably to meet with President Elect Obama.
Find Your Age by Eating Out
YOUR AGE BY EATING OUT
Don’t tell me your age; you probably would tell a falsehood anyway-but
your waiter may know!
YOUR AGE BY DINER & RESTAURANT MATH
This is pretty neat
DON’T CHEAT BY SCROLLING DOWN FIRST!
It takes less than a minute. Work this out as you read .
Be sure you don’t read the bottom until you’ve worked it out!
This is not one of those waste of time things, it’s fun.
1. First of all, pick the number of t imes a week that you would like to
go out to eat. (more than once but less than 10)
2. Multiply this number by 2 (just to be bold)
3. Add 5
4. Multiply it by 50
5. If you have already had your birthday this year add 1758…
If you haven’t, add 1757.
6. Now subtract the four digit year that you were born.
You should have a three digit number
The first digit of this was your original number. (I .e., How many times you want to go out to restaurants in a week.)
The next two numbers are
YOUR AGE ! —— (Oh YES, it is!)
THIS IS THE ONLY YEAR (2008) IT WILL EVER WORK,
SO SPREAD IT AROUND WHILE IT LASTS
