Name that movie / name that band! And don’t forget to dü your dishes!

How weird, I use this reference and I don't think anyone has ever caught it. I couldn't tell you anything else about the movie, like not a goddamn thing but this is in my head and I think the only thing that would remove it is a bullet. Listen man, I once forgot that I MRI on my brain (thought I was going in the tube for my back) that's how forgetful I am but this fucking quote isn't going anywhere.

Well let’s just say I made this magnet for people like you

Artee5000@reddit

I can't fathom the amount of times I have said this phrase. I worked in restaurants for 25 years so that added so, so many.

vankirk@reddit

23 years for me and some days I wish we'd had a shotgun for a dishwasher

I drop this line too along with “park it yourself, Metallica-breath” and it always gets crickets.

I have based large portions of my life on the teachings of Kenny, particularly as it pertains to home decor.

Also I would like to buy your magnet

It's Kenneth. Now go sit down and I'll whip you up some Belgian waffles.

schwing710@reddit (OP)

I have some here! Didn’t make too many because I figured this was a fairly niche design. https://www.etsy.com/listing/4487237974/dishes-are-done-man-magnet-90s-dont-tell

h0nkyJ@reddit

Oh man. We have a slidey magnet thing that we put on our dishwashernto indicate if the dishes inside are clean or dirty.... this would be perfect for one side of it haha. 😮🤣

[-]

schwing710@reddit (OP)

Hell yeah! That’s exactly what I was thinking of with this magnet - an indicator for when the dishes are done. Like turn it upside down when they need to be washed or whatever.

[-]

jessek@reddit

I remember that movie because my mom hated the title and forbade us from seeing it. I think she thought the plot was the kids killed their babysitter.

[-]

switheld@reddit

well, that took a real dark turn. 😂 i'm having a blast reimagining what the plot of the movie would be in that case

[-]

mwcoast82@reddit

Hüsker Dü but are they related to the movie?

[-]

schwing710@reddit (OP)

Not directly related but I recreated the font because it has a crack through it, reminiscent of the plates Kenny shoots at. And feels like a band Kenny and his stoner friends might’ve enjoyed (same era).

[-]

mwcoast82@reddit

Would have loved them

Deathclown333@reddit

It is uttered frequently in our household, so much so I'm a bit jealous of your magnet.

[-]

Individual-Schemes@reddit

Sometimes, my cat is skittish and runs away if I'm carrying a scary object.

I always do that old man's voice from The Neverending Story, "Who are you running away from?"

[-]

You should watch it! Holds up well!

My wife and I always quote this line, no one else seems to remember it.

[-]

schwing710@reddit (OP)

Tbh this movie doesn’t get the love it deserves! It never even got a physical release beyond DVD.

[-]

Vox_Mortem@reddit

I need this. I still say this every time I finish washing mine.

[-]

I made a few of them here!

I’m right on top of that

[-]

Wife's middle name is "Rose."

I often hit her with, "I'm right on top of it, Rose," yet she has never seen the movie.

[-]

Worth_Specific3764@reddit

I say this out loud EVERY time I finish washing the dishes. No one has ever gotten the reference and I always just say out loud in that case, yea that was just for me.

[-]

InterestingTry5190@reddit

I say it to myself every time I do them b/c no one else gets it. I also still call the pizza delivery person the ‘delivery dude’ from the ‘burbs movie.

[-]

schwing710@reddit (OP)

Late ‘80s / early ‘90s movies were easily the most quotable

[-]

schwing710@reddit (OP)

I do too! And so does my wife. So I decided it needed to be a magnet on our fridge (because sadly, no dishwasher here lol)

You ever catch grouplove’s cover of party hard? AV club cover probably like 10 years ago. It’s a lot of fun. I think it’s on YouTube.

When I say “right on top of that, rose!” at work I am reminded very quickly how much older I am than most ppl.

I say this all the time, and none of my older coworkers get it. But they're all late Gen X or older.

[-]

The font and dots remind me of husker du logo but is there a particular relation with the band and that quote that I'm missing?
