Ever use lines from sketches in real life?


I like asking people from out of town, "Did you drove or did you flew?", just to watch their reactions. More often than not, they catch on, but it's pretty amusing when they just stare.

"I want to bear your children!" comes up more often than not, but I can't do the crazed Lola laugh anymore.

"Blow 'em up real good!"

And hardly anyone gets it, but "What the what?"

I think the Sid Dithers line ("Did you drove or did you flew?") is the only one I've used in real life. But I have uttered "Dohway to Heh" in my best Lin Ye Tang would whenever the that phrase seems appropriate.

"Scary stuff, keeds" is probably the only other phrase I've used.

Count Floyd... "...That would be SCARY!"

Whenever I agree with someone, they never (NEVER!) get it when I quote Tex Boyle: "That's right, Edna."

I often quote Count Floyd:
"You're gonna be shakin' in your boots."
and
"Your face muscles are just gonna turn to (thinks of a word)...MARMALADE on this one."

When serving my daughter her pancakes:
"Would you like...some syrup. (accompanied by that unspellable music effect) Welcome to Dr. Tongue's 3-D House of Pancakes"

I break into Bobby Bittman now and again:
"Hel-lo????"

And even Skip Bittman, when I walk into the middle of a chaotic situation:
"Hey, what is this, a heist?"

I laugh like William B. Williams but slap my knee like Sammy M. And whenever I don't want to give my real name, I say I'm Woody Tobias, Jr.

Ha! I'd actually forgotten about the syrup line.

I do the "Hel-lo???" thing, too. And the "How ah ya?!" That one fits quite well, since I wear a lot of rings. LOL.

"Hi, What's your name?"
"xxxxxx"
"That's a boss name. Where do you live?"
"xxxxxx"
"That's a boss city. What school do you go to?"

reply

Not really a line from the show but whenever I feed my dog I sing
"Poochare, all meat, dawwwg foooodd!!!"

i've often done the Tex and Edna Boil, 'come onnnnnn down' and mention things about free budgies..

i often mimic the john candy kid-character on Mels Rockpile who swallows mid sentance from his nervous dried out throat ...

and of course .. count floyd ... 'ahhhhhoooooooooooo scally kids'

and as someone else said above .. 'what the what'


so much gold, so little time :)

reply

oh, yeah, I use "Take off, eh?" frequently. *grin*

SNL used to be good. Then it suddenly... wasn't. :\

reply

"Yeah, that window. I use to...look through that."

I'd start quoting Chuck Clarke from 4th Dergree "keep your nose clean". Also Brock Linehan. Oh and a few years back I would call my buddy cowhead(from the Great White North LP).

My parents would always say to eachother "Right Tex?" "Right Edna" and i never realized what it was from until they bought the DVDs about a year ago and we all watched them. So yes, my parents used lines from the show a lot.

reply

I have used the line, "They blowed up real good." Some people remember, most just stare.

I like uh me some edison gum

Well dear, don't let yourself get down in the dumps, unless you're willing to do something worthwhile while you're down there P-HA!

When th McKenzies are washing LaRue's car he says something like, "And get the chrome, not like last time."
always cracked me up.
use it all the time for different stuff.

And the McKenzies trying to get in to see the singer.
bouncer: " you vouch for him?"
doug: " will I what?"

reply

Count Floyd's "Veerrry Scaaaary" has always popped out of my mouth. And we did all go through the Hoser phase. My son sneaks up on me and shouts "How Are Ya" in true Bittman-esque fashion. But my favorite line is "Oh Merv, Otis has gone and got Opie Drunk!" Love Catherine O'hara!!

I'm not trying to be annoying...it just always works out that way.

reply

another line I would use as my own catch phrase as a kid was "All-Right-Tee,Woah Hoh-Hoh" from "Oh that rusty" from season 5.

Those are wicked cool people on this board don't you think?
You all are sharp as a whip and good with quotes!
Does anybody ever spontaneously burst into "To It And At It" by Stompin' Tom I wonder?

I SURE DO! "...there's a rainbow in Toronto where the maritimers are bold, they always get a pot full, but they never get a pot of gold" and SCTV is where I learned it from!

I used to say "may the good lord take a likin' to you and blow you up real soon".. but really I must admit I am much more ready with quotes from "Follow That Bird" featuring many of the same stars.
