My Zinger contains many one-liners from Disney movies and the Princess Bride. In fact, I think my Zinger contains the entire Princess Bride script. I know, that's INCONCEIVABLE! The lines I say/think the most are:
No more rhymes, this time I mean it! (Anybody want a peanut?)
I'm not a witch, I'm your wife!
... And many more, which I'm sure I've already blessed you with reciting on the blog.
I'll spare you all the Disney Zingers, except for the one I think the most:
You are a sad, strange little man
The Little Rascals movie also has many lines tucked away in my Zinger.
I'm warming up my vocalizer.
Then the clouds opened up and God said, "I hate you Alfalfa!"
And of course, I'll sell you my pickle for a nickle.
There are one-liners in my mind from movies I haven't even seen the entire way through:
I want my two dollars!
It's just a flesh wound.
There's my go-to Zinger when I need to look at things more positively:
So you're saying there's a chance.
There are the Zingers that have to be said with accents I can never duplicate:
You will not sneeze or barf or fart.
Light Bulb
And These are my recreational clothes.
Then there's the Zingers that come from shorts on You Tube, like:
I'm in a yot of touble
And most recently:
I can't go back. It's so cold!
(That one you might have to watch.)
Were all the lines from my Zinger familiar to you or did it sound like I was quoting gibberish? How about your Zinger? Is it overflowing with knowledge or does it have a better filter on it than mine? Will you let us take a peek inside? It's for science!
And speaking of Despicable Me (2), can this just hurry up and get here already?! And my son should be proud his name is in this. He's famous!

Most of my zingers these days come from Psych...
"you know that's right!"
"Come on son"
"I've heard it both ways"
Or Brian Regan...
"The big yellow one is the sun"
"Is this a good activity?"
And whatever just happens to apply at the moment, such as Disney movies, Austin Powers, Jeff Dunham, etc. But the Psych ones are usually mine and Steve's favorites to quote at each other
I have a ton of zingers, I use often. My favs...
When I am sore- "10,000 years will give you such a crick in the neck"
Someone is acting like a baby or brat - "You're nothing but a sister"
"I really like it" from The Holiday
"Glug, Glug, Woo-Hoo" from Bones
Like you Lori, I too often use Princess Bride. How could you not?
My husband's hands are always dry from restoring his old car. Drives me crazy. To him, and often "It puts the lotion on its skin".
Steve always quotes the "it puts the lotion on the skin" They could be friends!
These kind of questions always make me draw a blank, but I'm a mega fan of zingers.
My #1 favorite line is from the Spongebob Movie preview (I haven't seen the movie). After Plankton reveals his evil plan to rule the world, Spongebob says with a smile,
"Well...Good luck with that!"
We love Kid History/Kid Snippets quotes in this house.
"Is it a real penguin, or a pet penguin?"
"Ya sure?"
"Why is it dross?"
"I know it's dreen, but what else is about it?"
"Here's your perfectly normal pancakes, kids!" --everytime we eat pancakes :).
And the one that goes way back in my husband's family is from While You Were Sleeping--
"These mashed potatoes are so creamy."
I didn't say my zingers are hilarious, but we love to laugh with them anyway. I look forward to reading everyone else's! (Didi will probably have a few good ones, I'll see if she can get on soon!)
Nicole: next time we get together, we are going to carry on an entire conversation using only Psych quotes. Be prepared! Did you recover from your disappointment last week? I fell asleep watching an episode last night. Not that it was boring, I was just extremely tired! It's a sad day when you are too tired for Psych. :(
Shell- Hey friend! You have some good ones--it makes me want to hear them come out of your mouth. Should we meet up at the drug store again? We could sample the lotion.
Jenna: we do Kid History all the time too. The newest snippet = hilarious. And it stars my favorite cartoonist ST Lewis. Win win! I love hearing my kids say one liners. The other day my 9 yo would say, "so, we meet again," about every 2 minutes. It was entertaining the first 20 times. After that, not so much. :)
I still haven't recovered from my disappointment. I was just telling Steve last night that I just don't even want to watch it anymore until they resolve the current issue. (trying not to spoil anything) But alas, of course I'll watch because I have to know what happens. I'll be prepared for our next encounter. I'll memorize all of the "Gus, don't be a..." and make sure to use them!
A house of horror that's what we've come to.
Charlie, I like you betta as a rabbit.
Knob, come from the bed upstairs.
-Bedknobs, and Broomsticks-
You are in the clouds, and we are in the basement.
-Goonies-
Evangeline, can you secret me, some toast, and jam?
-Nanny McPhee-
Glad it's not just my family that does that, I thought we were just weird!
Nicole: then I will memorize all of Gus's nicknames. It might take me all year.
Team C: Yes, your family IS weird, but so is mine. :) The rabbit line reminds me of "You wascally wabbit." Sadly, I don't know if my kids would even know what I was saying. I better get them brushed up on their Looney Tunes. In fact, I better get brushed up on my Looney Tunes. I used to pretend like I was Pepe LePew and drive Paulashawn crazy. She didn't like being the object of Pepe's affection. Aww, that's a scentimental memory. :)
You are too silly to even respond to. I'm going to pretend I didn't just read that last line.
Blah blah blah from Hotel Transylvania
'ello lovfer from Robin Hood
Excellent. Excellent. Did you just say excellent because I just said excellent? Yes. Excellent.
I don't know how well this plan was thought out, master.
A Northern Montana man -- all 3 from, well, now I can't remember. It was a cartoon movie with a man in a fedora and a time traveler. Oh yeah, Meet the Robinsons.
Oceanology. Oceanography.
You're an anchel. And many other kid history ones.
Look alive! And then tossing food to someone on the other side of the table from Cheaper By the Dozen.
I believe in Sci-ence.
Chonco, can I borrow your sweats.
I hate orphans. I hate all the orphans in the world!
From Nacho Libre.
Your mom goes to college. From Napoleon Dynamite.
It needed some tweaking. You've Got Mail
There's a fine line between tough and crazy. Remember the Titans
RESPECT ME! Fireproof
Whatever you thought, I already thinked it.
...when you live in your parents' basement
Diary of a Wimpy Kid
Ok, I've gotta stop! I'm wondering if we ever have an original conversation in our house!
Paulashawn: either you watch too many movies or your Zinger is enlarged! If you ever call me Chonco and ask to borrow my sweats, I'm going to punch your car!
Paulashawn, you forgot a couple:
Whatever happens, I must not cry! (Shrek)
That's interesting. (Pirates)
Here are some frequently heard zingers at our house:
Hey, pal. Working hard or hardly working? - Shrek
I look hideous - Nacho Libre
Kees,kees,hugg, hugg, big kees, little hugg - Nachoe Libre
I don't know what you're talking about! - Napolean Dynamite
And this is one that I don't say out loud, but I have to admit that I think it. (not about my family, though)
You still look like an a** to me! (Shrek)
Janice
A lot of my family's zingers also come from Kid Snippets...and disney movies!!!
here is one our favorites: You know what I know tally po po...
and also: Boo! hahaha!
I'm Gonna kick you in the head!!!
Wait what's his name again????!!!!
(rope swing kid snippet)
guy 1: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!guy 2: he he he!
random guy: your turn.
guy 2:(nod) wait! no....no!!!
thanks! this was fun!! so creative!!!
Janice: I'm shocked and appalled. And also very, very amused. Of all the lines from Shrek, I didn't remember that one! Your kids are going to have to start screening movies before they let you watch.
Didi: You need to get some of the Kid History t-shirts. We have the "How come I'm so much buffer than you?" one. Those could be your family Disneyland shirts, except you each need a different saying. You would amuse the masses!
Please allow me to add one more--possibly my favorite zinger of all time:
"We promise not to tell. And if we DO tell anyone, we'll tell THEM not to tell anyone!"
"Perfect!"
(Horton Hears a Who)
"I feel the diplomatic processes beginning to break down"(Horton) all because of Janice's off color comment.
Thanks! We haven't had such a good laugh in such a long time.
Jenna: since you are adding one more, that means I can add 2 more that I forgot. You know the Grinch echo scene? I say that one all the time, mostly to/about myself. "I'm an idiot." ECHO- "You're an idiot." The other is from Despicable Me (again): "Why are you so ... old?" Hopefully no one ever says that to me, at least not for another 50 years.
PaulaShawn: There's something wrong with you. Really. (Finding Nemo.) And glad we could make your day. (That worked. Ish.)
Seriously, this is my favoritest thing to do EVER! Here comes a bunch.
"She turned me into a newt! ... I got better..."
"She's got to sort out her priorities"
"What are dates?" (big raisins that make you poop.)
"Look down look down don't look them in the eye!"
"Don't touch that! You'll get Hepatitis!"
"Even though some of you are pretty thin, you all have fat hearts, and that's what matters"
"There's huns poppin' outta the snow LIKE DAISIES!"
"Look at the blood in this guy's mustache!"
"Put that thing back where it came from or so help me, so help me, so help me and cut"
"She's my fiancé" (WHAT?!) "she just likes me for my body."
"I hate snakes! I HATE 'EM!"
"I am proud of what I am!" (and what's that?) "I (pause) am a librarian!"
"I solemnly swear I am up to no good"
"You're killing me Smalls!"
I'm not gonna say what movie each is from cuz I should really hit the hay.
Devree: YOU'RE killing me! Did you even have to look any of those up? I think you should write one of your college papers in all movie verses. You'd get extra points for creativity. I'm glad you make it safely back to school ... and you probably even got some fresh snow! Lucky you!
