"The doctor is in." - Picked up on the internet, used when watching Doctor Who.  :heart:
GIR and Zim have had some influence on me as well...

I use a lot of phrases associated with memes.  I frequent Know Your Meme.

Frak is good.
DH's nickname is Scruffy Looking Nerfherder.  No clue why, but it fits him.  KWIM? 
I left a broken pager for my director with a note: This pager is no more.  It has ceased to be.

"There's (x) in that (y)."  From Voyager, obviously.  I use it to denote things I want.  "There's ice cream in that freezer" translates roughly to "go get me some ice cream.  NOW."

"(x) ALL THE THINGS"

ANYTHING from Tommy Boy.  And boy was that a sad day when all my coats fit and I couldn't do fat guy in a little coat anymore.

I've used Frak off and on since the late 70s/early 80s (original Battlestar Galactica).
Good.  Goooooooood! - Return of the Jedi (spoken in Palpatine's voice)
Khaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnn!!!!!!! - Star Trek II (and I was using that long before it became an Internet meme)
Rackin Frackin Rausey Rackin... - Muttley from Hanna Barbera.  But I picked up on that in City of Heroes years ago when fighting a Lost boss named Muxley.
And I have really picked up on occasionally saying stuff in a good spaced out Tommy Chong type voice lately.

And most frequent...  Ooteedee!!!!! (When I find a really good score at a thrift store or when a really good score pulls an excellent price.  That brings out my inner Jawa).

Well, my vocabulary is made up of a lot of these, most of them come from video games, songs, or internet memes :P

"How I hate to wake up in the morning" and "One of these days I'm going to murder the Councillor" - Picked this one up from an old camping folk tune, sometimes mumbled when stumbling for the toilet after waking up. I'm just not a morning person :P

"<x> d**n you!" - Mythbusters. Where <x> is the desired action that the uncooperative equipment is refusing to perform.

"Going to throw almonds in the loo" - from an old animutation. Means that I'm going to the toilet to do my business

"Dung harbor!" - from the same animutation as the above quote. It's a sort of my version of "Eureka!"

/* high-pitched voice */ "EEK! Help! Spike!" /* gruff voice */ "Oh, no! Molly!" - Picked that up from Ashen's Vectrex review. The comedy here is that both are valid names from G1 MLP . No specific meaning, I just like saying it because it amuses me :P

D'oh but who hasn't. :P
Hmmm from playing Dragon Age waaay to much I've been known to use, online at least 'Andraste's Flaming Knickers' 'and Maker Nooooooooo!' 
'Frag/Frak'- blame Transformers for that
And a slightly obscure one from Weekenders 'CURSE YOU MODERN TECHNOLOGY CUUUUURSE YOOOOOU'
I may or may have not randomly done 'oooteeeniee' as well and sometimes my brother and I come out with some form of 'use the force' once I waved at a car as they let me pass and then realised I seemed to be doing a 'Jedi mind trick' hand sign.
Oh and my brother when we're on the train sometimes goes 'Multipass' at random.
And I've used 'Stang' in the past, that's from extended universe Star Wars I believe

Oh and sometimes when goofing around my brother or I will block the door to the kitchen and go 'NONE SHALL PASS!' and there's a few random Monty Python references chucked in here and there and things like 'I'm covered in bees' and 'It's a raptor, get me a bin lid' and 'jazz chicken' and I've picked up something from Lee Evans, it's a certain way to say a phrase which is not very arena appropriate. :P

And I may or may not have appopriated some stuff from Discworld, not sure.

My brother and I sometimes 'Stitch talk' at each other, weird thing is even though it's gibberish we know what each other mean.

Definitely Frak XD And shiny!


YES!  I use shiny all the time!  I tend to randomly quote Buffy, Firefly, and a few other shows.

My friend and I make a ton of meme references, and quote The Emperor's New Groove all the time! Sometimes Despicable Me, or other random Disney movies or movies from our childhood (and yes, I know that DM isn't Disney! Awkward sounding sentence)

Also phrases from several popular youtube videos among my friends as well!

I tend to quote famous lines from the Zelda CD-I games.  "Mah boyyy", "It is written", etc...  I also quote Shin Chan at random, sometimes inappropriate moments.

There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free Lunch.

A couple years ago we played DnD with a group and one of the characters was given a TANSTAAFL ring. He made a wish, it was granted and then somethign else would happen. Basically...the DM was a little twisted ^_^
