Aziz light!

I use this one a lot. Also, I've been known to say "mool-tee-pass" when handing over my ID.

Even as late as last year, I walked into a dark room, half shouted "Aziz!" and someone turned on a light.

He later claimed to have never heard of the movie.

Excuse me while I stare at my big hairy (proud!) feet as I try to figure out whether or not you just insulted me.

Its dumb, but whenever someone mentions peaches I always hit them with "I could eat peaches for hours". An obscure line from Face Off but for whatever reason it's stuck in my head over all these years. No one ever gets the reference.

[–] ediculous@lemmy.fmhy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Yo I've been saying that for years. And yeah, nobody remembers it.

Whenever someone says anything remotely close to "you can imagine what happens next" or "you can guess where this is going" I say:

"He fixes the cable?"

As a white hetero male, I often use the little girl's line from Airplane, "I take my coffee black. Like my men." I get mostly strange looks these days. That movie should be a required watch in college.

Mine is from City Slickers. Billy Crystal keeps saying "hellooooooo" to the cows in a kind of half-moo voice. I use it all the time and no one gets it.

Ive always been saying a line from a movie that even I didn't remember the movie:

"We're walking... We're walking..."

I had to look it up when a friend asked what movie it was from.

"If I say 'I know,' I stop thinking."

Nobody has ever gotten the reference, and many don't even get it after I explain it.

(It's from Nicholas Roeg's movie Insignificance, and it's said by an Einstein expy just called The Professor, explaining why it is that he's careful to always say that he thinks that ____ or believes that ____ or that the leading theory is that ____.)

There's a line right at the end of an extremely obscure animated film from when I was a kid. It ain't a great movie. And I didn't fall in love with it even at the time, but that line somehow stuck in my mind to this day and I re-discovered it a couple months ago. I'll just hint that it takes place in a sky world and Mark f*ckin' Hamill does the narration. "Comme des anges" is the line in question (Since I saw it in French as a kid) but it probably translates to "Like angels" in English. I tried to find it and it was impossible to stream or buy that movie in any form nowadays.

"Because you let us". Seriously regret seeing that movie.
