I do sometimes say "Come with me if you want to live" to any critters I find when digging in the garden or generally in the way and likely to die

When doing anything remotely electrical around the house - random utterings of 1.21 GIGAWATTS!!!

Also from BTTF, exclaiming to my Wife that "I'm your density....uh, I mean your destiny....."

"wait 'til they get a load of me" from the Michael Keaton Batman-fest, generally when about to do something stupid:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=coJNQSf5K88

And randomly "ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight, to my Wife; normally if I'm trying to distract her from something...

When one of the ladies in the shop says they are off to the loo I say " number one ,make it so."

Our newest member of staff is a Mrs Bridge so I say to her "Bridge take the number one".

They are not star trek fans or even have the faintest idea of what I'm talking about.

Yeah, us too. See also 'The Libyans' and 'Great Scott!' and we remark on the number 88 whenever it shows up. We're great fun to be around... 😆 Oh, and 'hey you guys!' from The Goonies as well. I still want a Goonies doorbell...

A favourite used to be "Do you know why it's such a great manipulation of negative space? Because Jesus wants it that way". Which I think might be from K-Pax but haven't been able to find any reference to the quote. Jesus Loves the Acid.

Work problems are generally either "I've got a bad feeling about this" or "Houston, we have a problem." And the numpties I work with make me mutter "I see dead people."

A few Withnail's, if the wife makes a drink without offering I'll usually say 'why haven't I got any soup'; whenever late for something (often) and consequently 'making progress' it will be described in a drunken voice as 'I'm making time', but purely randomly on a walk a couple of years back we walked through a farmyard, whereupon we encountered a chicken and my immediate response was '****er's alive!'

Others - if I ask (particularly the kids) to do something and there's a possibility it won't get done, I threaten to

and lastly whenever I see a shetland pony

Whenever I'm asked 'How do you feel?', I reply with, 'a series of nerve endings sends electrical impulses to my brain, but that's not important right now'.....

I can't help it. I think people find it very annoying 😂
