As Spoken By…
I think I need a quick placeholder for words that, in my head, are always voiced by a particular person/character. You know how you’ll hear someone pronounce a word or phrase a particular way, or in some certain context, & from then on you always hear it as if spoken by that person? That’s what this thread is for. I know I’m not alone on this… Here are a few examples:
Irregardless — Pat Sullivan (Jimmy Fallon — The Boston Teens)
Supercilious — Frank Costanza
Disconfirm — Brandt (The Big Lebowski)
That’s as far as this initial post is gonna go. I hope I’ve given you enough to go off of. Get it on.
Inconceivable! – Vizzini (The Princess Bride)
That was the first one that came to mind. I’m sure there will be more to come.
Common ones, to get them out of the way:
Excellent! – C. Montgomery Burns
YES! – The Brain (of “Pinky and…” fame)
Fair enough - Tom Peters
YES! & GOSH! – Napoleon Dynamite
There’s also my previous statement regarding mayonnaise in the Arbitrary Moments of Senility thread.
NG
Shazam! — Gomer Pyle
Zoinks! — Shaggy
Doh! — Homer Simpson

Hey you guuuuuuys! – chunk? from the goonies
This is quickly turning into a random quotes thread…
Ta-da – GOB, Arrested Development
I’d link to the particular cartoon, except I don’t know it… But there’s a Strongbad email where he’s typing “business” and pronounces it “bwiziness.” (I assume the misspelling was “buisiness”) So now when I’m typing that word I hear it in my head that way.
Oh – speaking of strongbad: Job=jorb – Coach Z
Rosco P Coltrane: I love it! I love it!
FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZE!
ve-hicle

emergency- from the movie Dracula Dead and Loving it
Monorail — Patty/Selma
Tuberculoses — Jerry Seinfeld
Hey [insert name here, i.e. brother, co-worker, etc.] – Buster, Arrested Development. His voice comes to mind almost everytime I start an e-mail with that greeting.
An old episode of Sesame Street had this girl who was going to the grocery and had to remember her mom’s list. She kept repeating “a stick of butter, a gallon of milk, and a loaf of bread” on her way. Something about the way she said it stuck with me.
Also used to think the Clive Clemmons inappropriate response bit on Conan O’Brien was funny. Now it’s impossible for me to say inappropriate in my head w/o the guitar and british accent.
Souvenirs — Street salesman/undercover agent for The Resistance.
inappropriate was a good one.
to add to your Top Secret reference

Jesus Christ – Apu saying “Shiva H. Vishnu”

Man, whenever Gerald Ford’s name has been mentioned lately, all I can think of is Dana Carvey as Tom Brokaw, pre-taping those “Ford is dead” newscasts on SNL.
Heh, yeah. Been thinkin that too…
Come on! — GOB Bluth
Los Angeles — Twig Boy (social worker from pilot ep of KoTH)
Yeah, they should have brought back Twig Boy for more episodes. What a great character. I think that’s David Herman, aka Michael Bolton.
Heard B.C. (Bob Conners in the morning) 610 WTVN, say this today….haven’t heard this in umm, a hundred years. Have no idea where it came from.
Wow, my co-worker, Eric, uses this phrase all the time!
Eric is actually Bob Conners.
