I only got three of them :P

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

That's okay, some were tricky! :D

[phantomminuet.livejournal.com]

I only knew two, The Young Ones and PotC.

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

I'm thrilled you got The Young Ones, believe me! :D

Unless it was one of those lines that were referenced in the sequels (i.e. "Why is the rum gone?"), I can tell you right now that it was Pintel, and Pintel only.

I'm not quite sure what that says about me.

And no wonder I didn't recognize the MP quote. I never particularly cared for that sketch. A majority of my favorites are the well-known ones, like the Dead Parrot (which I could quote verbatim at one point), Whizzo Chocolate Company (I'm convinced JKR liked that one as well), the Spanish Inquisition (bet you didn't expect that one! XD) and Johann Gambolputty...von Hautkopft of Ulm. Though I do also enjoy the couple buying the "dog kennels."

Hee, yeah, I'm not sure if they swap the line back and forth in the sequels or what, but, you're good!

Man, I can quote SO MANY Monty Python sketches. And once upon a time I could do the film of Holy Grail line-for-line--granted, i was young and probably had some of the phrases a bit wrong because I didn't know a lot of British English idioms, but, close enough.

Yay! Repo Man!

I must dig that out and watch it again one of these days.

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

I haven't seen it more than the once, which is kind of amusing!

[herbmcsidhe.livejournal.com]

hmm...I didn't see this on IJ...but it's there. Strangeness.

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

But did you get any of them? :D

[herbmcsidhe.livejournal.com]

I recognised several of them, but couldn't think of what they were from...53 years of trivia gets in the way, sometimes. XD

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm looking at those of others and noticing the same--they seem maddeningly familiar but I can't say for sure what they are. ^_^

[ruthannereid.livejournal.com]

Oh, these are TOO fun.

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Do your own set! I love reading others'!

[jamoche]

I did get the Girl Genius one, but then I just read all of it over the past two days...

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Did you! Oh, I figured not a soul would get that one! Yay!

The Speed one reminds me of:

Homer Simpson: I saw this in a movie about a bus that had to speed around the city, keeping its speed over fifty. And if its speed dropped, the bus
would explode! I think it was called... "The bus that couldn't slow
down."

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

*dies* Oh, my god, The Simpsons has always had the best writing. Man.

[drgaellon]

The only one I *KNEW* was the Monty Python. My favorite Duck Soup line, however, is "I want to dance with you 'til the cows come home! On second thought, I'd rather dance with a cow 'til YOU come home!"

Hello, I must be going...

Favorite Marx Bros. movie; also one of my favorite movies full stop. I walk around quoting the whole, "You better beat it. I hear they're going to tear you down and put up a building where you're standing. You can leave in a taxi..." riff from beginning to end.
