You know what pisses me off? Kind of a stupid question because about eighty percent of the material on my site is about things that piss me off, but what pisses me off today is catch phrases. You know, that one line from a movie or TV show that everybody and their mother recite ad nauseam, and then every time it's said, fifteen other retards laugh uproariously as though something actually funny has been said. Nothing irritates me more than somebody repeating a line from a movie or TV show and then thinking they're funny because of it. There's nothing funny about repeating things other people have said. And the worst part is, most of the time, the thing they repeat isn't even funny. Occasionally you'll have something that was legitimately funny become a catchphrase, but most of the time it's just annoying crap. Outlined below are some of the catch phrases that bring up the bile from the bottom of my throat. Some of them piss me off because they were stupid the first time they were said, and just get worse every time someone repeats them. Some of them were actually funny the first time, but then they got ruined by eight thousand dumbasses repeating them, with the original quote getting less and less funny every single time.

"Don't call me Shirley."-Leslie Nielsen, "Airplane" movies

The original context was that somebody would say "Surely blah blah blah blah blah blah blah," to which Nielsen would reply "Blah blah blah blah blah blah, and don't call me Shirley." Yeah, not funny at all. Well this retarded line became the byword for nerds everywhere who thought they were funny. They would even say it when it didn't make sense. For example, I would say something like "It surely is warm out here today." The nerds would respond, "It is warm, and don't call me Shirley." I learned years ago to take the word "surely" out of my vocabulary.

"Respect my authoritah!" - Cartman, South Park

This was funny the first couple times they used it on South Park, but it got old fast. Thankfully, Trey Parker and Matt Stone realized it was getting annoying and stopped using it. However, millions of South Park fans were ignorant of this fact and to this day I still hear some dumbass yell this line any time they tell somebody to do something.

"Houston, we have a problem." Apollo 13

I don't even remember who said this one because this movie was so fucking stupid, but I think it was Tom Hanks. I hate Tom Hanks. He's such a little fuck. Am I the only person who thought Castaway was the worst fucking survival movie ever made? Oh look at me, I'm talking to a soccer ball and it says Wilson on it so I'm going to call it Wilson, much to the delight of my brain-dead audience who wouldn't know a good movie if it hit them in the face.

"Did I do that?" Steve Urkel, Family Matters

God I'm glad the Urkel era is over. Jesus Christ he pissed me off. Never in the history of television has a TV show been so utterly dependent on one line. And then every time somebody fucked something up they had to repeat this, and then everyone would start laughing like dumbasses.

(Incoherent grunting) - Tim Allen, Home Improvement

This show pissed me off, and then everybody copied that fucking grunt. I had a teacher who did that at least once every single day. Longest school year of my life.

"Say hello to my little friend." - Al Pacino, Scarface

This is one that has been ruined not by people repeating it in real life, but by movies and TV shows repeating it every single time somebody pulls out a weapon of some sort.

"You are the weakest link." - The Old Bitch from Weakest Link

This show was fucking retarded and I hated that bitch and I hated how every time anybody did anything wrong while that show was playing some shithead spouted this line.

"D'oh!" - Homer Simpson, The Simpsons

This show has spawned probably a thousand catch phrases in our culture, each of them annoying. I fucking hate people who take otherwise funny lines and repeat them until you hate it when you see the line said in the original show. So many otherwise funny South Park and Simpsons lines have been ruined this way.

"And then?" - Dude Where's My Car?

This was one of those movies that everybody hated but me. I guess I'm just more intelligent than the average movie watcher because this movie was awesome and if you didn't like it, you can kiss my fat jiggly ass.

"E.T. phone home." - E.T.

This movie blew. E.T. was a fag. But in a somewhat related story, Drew Barrymore is fucking hot and I want to do her. And another thing, the E.T. game they had for Atari was impossible to beat. I couldn't figure that damn game out. But at least it never said this stupid line. That game did suck though. Atari was weird, some games were impossibly hard and some you could beat in an hour. I was the shit at Space Invaders.

"Life is like a box of chocolates." - Tom Hanks, Forrest Gump.

Tom Hanks is such a bastard, here's on here twice. Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever seen a Tom Hanks movie that didn't piss me off. Actually I did like Philadelphia, but that was only because he had AIDS.

"Show me the money!" - Cuba Gooding Jr., Jerry Maguire

Last year in my Sports Marketing class at THE Wright State University, we had a sports agent come and talk to us. He told us about how he worked at a firm, then he was tired of doing things unethically, so he tried to take a moral stand, and he got fired for it. Then he had to put all his effort into getting that one player to stick with him and keep his career alive. So he went all out and went to some extreme lengths to keep him and finally did, and the player finally made it to the big time and he lived happily ever after. I raised my hand and said "I saw that movie too." The guy got a very embarrassed look on his face and quickly started talking about something totally unrelated.

"Is that your final answer?" - Regis Philbin, "Who Wants to be a Millionaire?"

I remember my freshman year of college when everyone watched that retarded show. I think my school officially adopted this line as its school slogan because every single teacher I had that year said it at least once a day. College fucking sucked. And now I'm paying my student loans off for a useless piece of paper. Fuck college.

"I'll be back." - Arnold Schwarzenegger, "The Terminator"

This is another example of a damn good line from a damn good movie that has been subsequently ruined by dumbasses. So many things that were said in the Terminator movies have been overused to the point of almost making me wish those movies had never been made. Or at least had less-catchy dialogue. Although it would be pretty bitchin if Arnold became president and if he ever declared war he told the country that they had been targeted for termination. Arnold kicks ass.

"Allllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllrighty-then." Jim Carrey, Ace Ventura.

I'm not even going to get started on how much Jim Carrey pisses me off because I'll be up all night.

"Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight."

"Yeah baby!"

"Do you have any Grey Poupon?"

"Schwing!"

"Party on."

"Monkeys might fly out of my butt!" -Mike Myers, various shitty movies

I fucking hate Mike Myers. He has done so many shitty movies over the years. The Austin Powers movies sucked, the Wayne's World movies got annoying real fast, and the Shrek movies are possibly the most overrated movies in all of cinematic history. But that's a rant for another day.

dumbasses are now going to start quoting movies and TV shows to me on a daily basis just to piss me off
