Favorite tv lines/funny lines

Post by parusski »

Let's begin. What television show is this line from:

"Ahh yes, Mr O'Reilly. Well, it's perfectly simple: when I asked you to build me a wall, I was rather hoping that instead of just dumping the bricks in a pile, you might've found time to cement them together. You know, one on top of the other in the tradition fashion"

NO GOOGLE(LOL)

I rampage through British TV shows. I just finished watching every episode of A Bit of Fry & Laurie, Fawlty Towers and Are You Being Served.

Some great humour in those British TV shows. Right now I am looking for some good German or Danish comedy--uh, nevermind.[:D][:D]

A Bit of Fry and Laurie contains the single greatest line in television comedy, delivered by Stephen Fry:

"Hello, I'm Oprah Winfrey".

I tremble with suppressed laughter as I type...[:D][:D][:D]

Arr. I recognized the line, but I HAD to Google it.

House of Cards-a great series with Ian Richardson.

Now for something completely the same:

"Dammit Peter", "Dammit John".."Damn it four times round the car park and back in for another damn it!"

Indeed, 'House of Cards' is correct.

Now an US version of 'House of Cards' is under production.

I am not sure I can stomach an American version.

I am not sure either but lately there has been some good TV series from US. So maybe, just maybe, this one can be great. [:)]

[:)] Haven't watched Fry and Laurie since the early 90'S(?) and I'm b******* if I can remember any other sketches they did, but those Uttoxter/John/Marjorie sketches still make me laugh now.

Alan Partridge: That was Big Yellow Taxi by Joni Mitchell, a song in which Joni complains they 'Paved paradise to put up a parking lot', a measure which actually would have alleviated traffic congestion on the outskirts of paradise, something which Joni singularly fails to point out, perhaps because it doesn't quite fit in with her blinkered view of the world. Nevertheless, nice song.

I just watched every episode on Youtube this past weekend. The Peter/John Daaaamn scenes were funny.

Some other funny moments:

Stephen Fry dancercising

Or this moment between the friends Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie:

"Stephen: The reason we're not going to do this sketch is that it contains a great deal of sex and violence.
Hugh: A great deal.
Stephen: Lots of sex and violence.
Hugh: That's right. During the sketch, Stephen hits me several times with a golf club.
Stephen: Which of course wouldn't matter except that I do it very sexily.
Hugh: That's the trouble, you see. He does it so sexily. I wish you could see it.
Stephen: And then the sketch ends with us going to bed together...
Hugh: ...violently.
Stephen: Very, very violently. Now this raises problems.
Hugh: Not for me."
