More when I was doing tech support, but from the thick of it: "oh great, I'm flypaper for dickheads today"
(technically from in the loop but eh) "it'll be difficult difficult lemon difficult"
The one me and my partner use quite a lot, and I wish more people were aware of, as it's a useful term:
"they're having [Gilbert fun](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3Ihw4mCmOM)" from being human. Basically as a shorthand for doing something you've enjoyed doing but seems objectively kind of boring. e.g "I spent last night working out the episode order to watch Dr. who chronologically" or "I was curious so looked something up, went down a rabbit hole and ended up spending 3 hours reading about the Haber-Bosch process"
'They're so dense, light bends round them'.
'I sometimes wonder how they made their way out of their mother's womb'. 'Two hundred years ago, they wouldn't have let him milk a cow'. All from The Thick Of It. 'Shit On It'. Friday Night Dinner. Obvs.
I know writers who use subtext and they are all cowards. To see who I can introduce this masterpiece too when reminiscing about TV.
Garth Meremghi.
Blaaaaaack Blaaaaaack, they make me eat nails, my eyes, my eyes are pies and all Jonny black painter from fast show.
Random with alot of people weirdly.
All of fast show.
There's only one thing for it I hate pot noodles...... To myself when pot noodles are on sale knowing they expensive and shit.
lister after Kryton tells him there is only pot noodles and dog food left.
Smoke me a kipper......with some people I love when they pull something nice or unexpected off we don't too each other.
For example ah we want to have fun bit cannot afford to have fun and if we can help each other to have fun possibly we say this because it's like usually used when you pull a concert ticket or cinema ticket out of no where or some money for a few beers for us all. A catch all for when someone needs a pick me up and an unexpected last min hero arrives. I've borrowed some money for the beers so we can go watch a match and have fun, not only can I afford those tickets I have em right here.
Used when your closest are in need of some joy. Never disrespected unless your talking about the show. It's also not a guarantee always so your like smoke me a kipper we have it sorted or smoke me a kipper I'm off to sort or try and sort.
This one's big because it's contextual.
Smoke me a kipper with confidence and purpose means we going all out get it done but isn't done yet and we may get it done or may crash on a fireball of nothing.
Done with imaginary pipe smoking is it's done.
Smoke me a kipper with kippers I will not do
To your first one, the quote i use that I'd forgotten about is
A masterful plan with but two flaws (we dont have anything to power the forcefield and we dont have a forcefield)
You're right.
Theres a second one that i know exists but I haven't seen in years where I think its shields and the line is
A brilliant plan with just two drawbacks. 1. We dont have any shields. And 2. We dont have any shields. Now I realise thisbis the same drawback but I thought it such a big drawback it was worth mentioning twice.
I need to rewatch red dwarf tbh
If I don't know and you don't know and you don't know and I don't know, do you know? (Has to be said with the Scottish accent, I don't remember which kids TV program it comes from)Â
15, there's 15 puppies (101 Dalmatians)Â
66 per cent (otter in lady and the tramp)Â
Madam Medusa's Pawn Shop Boutique. ( Always want to answer the phone with this as is done in the rescuers).
>"Come on you guys, the mice aren't wanting to hang about in this dimension all day."
I say it whenever I am trying to get my wife and daughter to hurry up and get ready because we have to leave the house for one of their clubs or something.
"How are you feeling today, tickity-boo or not so pucker?"
I'm internally disappointed if they don't reply, "Not so pucker, I'm afraid" despite it being a quote from a mostly forgotten '80s comedy by Ben Elton, starring many of the "Comic Strip presents..." regulars. The above is an interaction between Stephen Fry and Ade Edmondson.
[Happy Families](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_Families_(1985_TV_series))
Any saying from the thick of it.
And đđźđđź

Everybody is dead, Dave. - Whenever I am forced to explain something ridiculously easy to grasp. Kinda stops me going mad. Not sure if anyone around me gets the reference, although I have a customer who sometimes wears a "smoke me a kipper" t-shirt, so maybe he does.
"I'm fine thank you Susan".
"My nipples are roasting".
"It's rubbish, attention-seeking rubbish!"
"Oh no! Anyway".
And I don't say it, but the word "ubique" pops into my head more than is normal.
I can't walk through a supermarket fruit section without wanting to shout at some poor innocent person
A MANGO?! Who's you think you are.. a fucking mango.
(Been a long time, might be a bit off with the quote)
