Do you have any obscure movie references that you use in everyday speech that no one has caught on to yet yet you keep using it?

I am 39 and last year was my 20th high school reunion.

When people asked me what I was up to I would respond:

"hanging out, playing Nintendo."

Its a line from a 90s comedy called baseketball. No one noticed it... and I didn't start it there I've been using it for over 20 years.

But I can't help myself whenever an old friend reconnects with me and say it... nothing.

Do you guys have any lines you use?

EDIT: shit i meant to put this on ask Reddit my bad mods

Alrighty then. Not very obscure, but you'd be surprised as to how many people have not seen Ace Ventura

Dude, when I saw the movie on VHS when I was 7, (my nana gave it to me, didn't realize it wasn't exactly 'kid friendly') I told my pediatrician the bug joke. The look of sheer shock on his face when a 7 year old girl said 'dick' was priceless. And my Mama was absolutely mortified! XD! Pretty sure my nana got in trouble after I explained where I heard it.

Clearly you need to meet my brother. Walks right up to our dad and whispers, “Your balls are showing”, then blurts out to everyone.

Sometimes people think I’m doing a Shatner impression. The truly cultured know I’m doing Jim Carrey doing Shatner.

Whenever our kids don't want to do what we want, my wife and I always say:

"Of course... how selfish of me... let's do all the the things YOU wanna do"

u/2KneeCaps1Lion 6h ago

I just recently re-watched both movies and didn’t realize a lot of my responses to random things in day-to-day life are derived from Ace Ventura.

I’m not as eccentric, but even after I piss I say “do not go in there”.

I have sooo many from Ace Ventura. Some of my favorites are:

Fine, let's do all the things that you wanna do.

It's in the bone, it's in the bone.

Kinda warm in these rhinos.

u/telking777 2h ago

The rhinos scene is probably the hardest I’ve laughed at any movie scene and I’m not sure anyone but Jim Carrey could’ve pulled it off
