You've reached that age, Listy. When you're younger you can eat what you like, drink what you like and still climb into your 26 inch waist trousers and zip them closed. Then you reach that age - 24, 25 - your muscles give up, they wave a little white flag, and then without any warning at all, you're suddenly a fat ......."

From Only Fools and Horses, Series 3, Healthy Competition.
Del Boy: 'Well I gotta admire your bottle Rodney, you've been in the business 5 minutes and you have already opened up a Spanish Branch. You've cornered the market on broken lawn mower engines. What's your partner buying now, second hand peddlers?
Rodney: 'No, we're going into the self catering holiday trade.'
I found an episode of 8 out of 10 cats from a few years ago quite amusing. They were discussing the incident where Gordon Ramsey insulted Australian TV presenter Tracy Grimshaw by saying she looks like a pig.
After a brief discussion amongst the panel Shaun Lock then remarked if 'she looks like a pig, then Gordon Ramsey's forehead looks like the crackling.'
With my GF - ooh Jill you know your onions.
When I can guess what she is thinking - I can read you like a book and not a very good book certainly not bravo 2 zero
By the way, is there anyone on board who knows how to fly a plane?
That is Torquay, Madam. May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? The Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest, sweeping majestically...
Del gets out the old photo of the school team and says 'oh look there's that Italian boy who used to play up front.....oh what was his name? Oh anyway we had Denzil in goal, we had Monkey-Harris left back, we had... camaraderie.
Another small one from Hitchhikers I always loved was describing the Vogon constructor fleets: 'They hung in the air exactly the same way that bricks don't.'
The first ten million years were the worst. And the second ten million: they were the worst, too. The third ten million I didn't enjoy at all. After that, I went into a bit of a decline.
Only fools and horses, they are in the pub singing happy birthday to Rodney. The camera pans and pauses on Trigger, momentarily. You know what is coming in a couple of seconds but that doesn't stop it being hilariously funny.
Henry: Filling in these lottery tickets is harder than I thought. I was going to use the number of times I had sex last month, but the ticket only goes up to 49. Joy: Try limiting it to the number of times there was someone else there.
Will & Grace:
Karen: He actually expects me to live on this. Grace: Karen, I think you can learn to live on this. I mean Spain does.
Grace: [as Karen is showing her breasts to a woman] Karen, what are you doing? Karen: She started it. Grace: Karen, she's breast feeding. Karen: Oh... That would explain the little bald man.

That was on yesterday and you are right, it is still funny. Even though you know what is going to happen, that delayed 'Dave' is perfect timing.

I might be able to con people into buying my cars. I might be able to convince 'em that you conceived and gave birth in seven days flat, but how the hell am I gonna persuade 'em that my grandad was Louis Armstrong?!

Marge: You lied to me Homer. You told me you got rid of the gun.
Homer: But Marge, I swear, I never thought you'd find out.
