I'd say Simpsons, because it has probably the largest base of useful quotes.

Deadwood.

It'd help me finally clean up my language, while still saying what I'm thinking most of the time.

30 rock.

"Are there any other black nerds or is it just you and Ukel?"

"The Sopranos" would be a fun one.

Anyways, $4 a pound..

Firefly. Using gorramitt, shiny, "I'm shocked my own self", and "big damn hero" on the regs would be right some good.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

Same, but mainly because I already have all of the quotes and I do use them fairly regularly. The only downside is that the show was murdered in its infancy by Fox who I will never forgive and thus provides a limited vocabulary.

Edit:

Also, "Per-maybe-haps I'm thinkin'."

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

I always think of Fox as the Alliance. They change the order the shows aired and the time/date. Bastards.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Never forget what they did to us.

I Think You Should Leave.

"Hey, nice shirt Kolanaki."

"Thanks. It was $450 dollars because the pattern is so complicated."

This show is already about 75% of my daily speech. Now shut the fuck up, Doug. I'll eat your wife's wig.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

My favorite show, Psych. My daily interactions will allow for lots of pineapples.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Red Dwarf is an interesting thought here.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

The Regular Show. Mostly means I'm going to tap the nearest person to me to present all questions/answers in a synchronized choreographed song and dance.

IRL tho, ever since watching Letterkenney, all my friends and I do the fancy "To be fair" thing constantly.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Over the Garden Wall. It's not terribly long, yet remains one of the most quoted shows in my family.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

Trailer park boys. Way she goes boys

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Psych, because I am a fan of delicious flavor. It wouldn't change much because I already quote it a lot

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

Anything can be made from these quotes.

EDIT: changing my answer to Taskmaster, if only so I can still say "all the information's on the task"

Did I meet these potatoes before?

Also: stopcockstopcock stop. Cock. Stopcock

Very handy and widely applicable.

Though you’d lose the equally useful “pop pop”.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

You would gain "a lime!" but lose "hello, rich people?"

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Star wars. It wouldn't change much

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I take "Yes, Minister" together with it's follow-up "Yes, Prime Minister". It's old, yes, and British, but I've yet to see a series with more memorable quotes.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

don't forget the 2013 remake!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I must rewatch this, I feel I was too young to get most of the more subtle humour when I first watched it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Absolutely. The scenes where Sir Humphrey explains British Newspapers to the minister or talks with Frank Weisel about conscription were absolutely gold! Or "The Prime Minister giveth, and the Prime Minster taketh away." ;-)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I remember the scene where Sir Humphrey, explains why the UK must be inside the EEC in order to make a mess out of it. So good...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

And so true...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

My household quotes Adventure Time quite a bit. Oh my glob!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

Deadwood would make my life interesting
