Don't you just LOVE IT when someone quotes something?

Ok, if you are anything like me you absolutely hate when theres a popular movie that everybody feels the need to quote all day. It's Gut-wrenching torture to hear these quotes throughout the day and you just want to shove an inflated condom down somebodies throat. And so, I've decided to make a 'Top-Ten Countdown' of the most quoted movies/TV shows of the day.

10)The Mask-Jim Carrey shot to superstar status when this movie was released in 1994, while some might remember him from his time on In Living Color. Stanley Ipkiss was a Doormat being walked all over as a bankteller, at least until he happened upon....THE MASK! During any normal conversation one could be heard saying "P A R T...Y? Because I gotta!!" The slightly simpler "Smokin!" Another would be "No! It wasn't me! It was the One-Armed Man!" The limits were endless on the amount of quotable lines.

9) Dumb and Dumber-I skipped school with my brother to see this movie and it was hilarious. The only problem is within the next few weeks I heard nonstop quotes from the movie. Whether it was "Mary... I desperately want to make love to a school boy" or "wanna hear the most annoying sound in the world?" Followed by a high-pitched screetch. This movie was definitely quoted to death.

8) Meet the Parents-This movie was funny, but not all that special, DeNiro did a great job here. There wasn't a copious amount of memorable quotes from this movie which is why it is only ranked 8. The only quotes you'd hear from this movie would be "Jesus Focker" or "Its only a game Focker" or any variation therein with the name Focker.

7) Family Guy-It's not that bad, you hear more people simply talking about lastnights episode rather than actually quoting the show. However the exception would be my brother and his friends, just about every other sentence is "Holy crap lois!" I'll also hear "Financial transaction benefits you today..ohhhh weeird" and last but not least "Frank Tanager Golf Course manager yeah it rhymes big whoop wanna fight about it?" Family Guy is not that bad, but a personal grudge put it on the list.

6) The Matrix-Neo is that you!?!? Follow the white rabbit Neo, Follow it! Yeah, The Matrix is quoted as either "I know Kung Fu" or "Guns...lots of guns." This movie made Keanu Reeves of Bill & Teds Excellent Adventure (WYLD STALLYNZ!) a huge celebrity, yet he still looks and sounds like an idiot. This movie was too spiritual and philosophical for Keanu, its almost as bad as him being in that Shakespeare movie whatever it was called.

5) The Simpsons-The hype for the show has obviously simmered, I myself haven't watched a new episode in at least 2 years. It doesn't, however, detract from the quotings from the show. Over the past 12 years I myself can remember simple "eat my shorts" and "don't have a cow," but i think the sneaky quotee from the show would easily have to be Ralph Wiggum. I myself am guilty of quoting Ralph, this champion of the mildly retarded. At one job I had a friend and myself would just pass the time quoting "My breath smells like cat food" "I bent my wookie" "Hi supernintendo Chalmers!" That last one is my favorite, I must admit.

4) Anchorman-Ron Burgundy is the hero around my school. We've even gone so far as to give ourselves anchorman names(I am BRIAN FANTANA!), which goes a little far. If somebody in class messes up you can be guaranteed a "Knights of Columbus!" or "Great Odens raven!" and "By the beard of Zeus." This movie is very quotable, it's funny, but is taken too far. If somebody gets angry they will most assuredly bust out with "I will smash your face into a car windshield then take your mother, Dorothy Mantooth out for a nice seafood dinner and NEVER call her again!" Yeah, this has gotta stop.

3) Ace Ventura-Jim Carrey makes a second appearance on this list, and for good reason, people think he's a comedic god. If I hear "Alllllrighty then!" one more time somebody gets shot. Of course after somebody leaves a bathroom they feel a need weighing upon them to say "Do NOT go in there...WHEW!" Remember people, "if I'm not back in five minutes...wait a little longer." Oh its all just so hilarious, we are laughing, its funny...NOT.

2) Napoleon Dynamite-Idiot! Tina come get some ham! As you can see this movie is in the throngs of massive quoting from adults and preteens alike. I'd also like to make note of the oft-quoted lines "Theres like a buttload of gangs at this school" as well as "Do the chickens have large talons?" Yes, every where you go you can't deny the awesome force that is Napoleon.

and now the moment you've been waiting for our First Place goes to...

1) Chappelle's Show-I don't think I have to tell you why this won...or lost, depending on how you look at it. There are four simple words that will explain it quite simply for you, "I'm rick james bitch." Yes, there is no escaping the millions of white kids that think they're black just because they watch Chappelle's Show and quote "I'm Rick James bitch!" Seriously! This show made it cool to be a wigger. Now everybody want to be black, it seems. I have only 10 words for you people. STOP QUOTING DAVE CHAPPELLE...HE IS TOO FUNNY FOR YOU!

Anyways...Try to be original. Extra points if you hear someone quoting you!

Yeah! Whenever I remind someone about a dinner invitation, they always use that same old line from "Much Ado About Nothing"

"Commend me to him and tell him I will not fail him at supper; for indeed he hath made great preparation."

It's getting sooooo old.

I'm rather guilty of quoting Family Guy myself. The one I use most often is "Do you even listen to yourself when you talk?"

Around my house, most verbal exchanges contain pop-cultural references, primarily material from Python, the Young Ones, Red Dwarf and another half-dozen or so Brit-coms.

So sad.

It can be a bit bewildering for anyone not in the know when I call down from the bathroom, in my best imitation of Neil Pye, saying "C'mon guys - quit hassling me when I'm on the toilet"...

I get quoted all the time, although seldom in a good context. :D

Thanks for this thread. You made me smile. :)

I like the list, except personally I dont think 1. is very funny.
And I dont think it will ever be cool to be a whigger.
