    “…in a manner that would go unmatched until the 1989 release of Belgian techno-anthem, Pump Up the Jam.”

    There’s a bunch in the Simpsons, but my favorite is probably them trashing Arby’s. I always thought marketing didn’t work on me until I started watching the Simpsons and mysteriously stopped liking Arby’s.

    Me and a close friend have this 2+ years long running inside joke about a particular city in England that nobody else would get. We could be talking about the most random and seemingly completely unrelated thing and the inside joke about the city gets interjected in. Sometimes I beat my friend to it by mere seconds!

      Archer has a weird level of detail for such a “dumb” show. In one episode Lana shoots him in the foot, a few episodes later he has a scar on that foot. It could totally have been dismissed, but they immortalized it. So everything in that show has the ability to become a running gag.

    I got into psych (TV show) because of an ex and eventually I convinced my father to watch it. Well now he quotes it all the time. The one that comes up almost daily is “I’ve heard it both ways” after one of us pronounces something wrong or someone else pronounces something wrong.

    Goofy fun show. You gotta just enjoy the goofiness and not think too much. Luckily it has tons of themed episodes and endless references to other Pop culture moments. The writing is snappy and honestly you miss a lot of jokes the first time around because half of them are said under someone’s breath or by someone slightly off screen and outta focus.

        I have used that line to start a conversation with an untold number of women lol.

        Most of them just think it’s funny. Sometimes they get the reference. One woman was legitimately mad at me for having used a line from a TV show lol. It’s just a good line.

    In the movie The Cheap Detective, Peter Falks character is seen repeatedly pulling random fully bartended and prepared drinks from his drawers.

    At one point he is offering it to someone else and even asks them if they prefer shaker or stirred and then magically pulls out exactly what they ordered from his drawer.

    Idk why but that shit made me laugh every time
