Good thinking Batman 1

[gizmo1973]

Where did this phrase come from?
Obviously the series/film Batman but I don't seem to remember this is a catchphrase as such, not like "gee willickers" etc
I have noticed a lot of my age group (30 something’s) use this phrase when a good idea is formulated.
Are my colleagues and I the only ones who use this phrase or has anyone else noticed this?


Regards, Phil.

elanor,

I've seen that phrase (and variations thereof) with increasing frequency as the juggernaut that is Episode III looms nigh.

P.s. I hate myself for getting excited about it's release. I've been hurt by Lucas before and worry about letting my guard down.

Hey, anotherhiggins,
Oh my! I hadn't actually made that connection, which is pretty silly, considering the crushing amount of advertising they've unleashed.

I know what you mean - I think most people have at least some Lucas issues...but hang in there. I mean, how many Jar-Jars can a person suffer in a lifetime?
Thanks!
Elanor

One of my favorites is "Laaaaaance"! (From "Lancelot Link, Secret Chimp".

My favorite Batman quote used to be "Let's go Batman!" Robin used to say it after he and Batman ran up the back of the batcar and jumped in. In high school I owned an MG Midget convertible but never owned a top for it. My best friend and I used to run up the "boot" and jump into the seats and he's turn to me and say "Let's go Batman!" You should have seen some of the looks we got in shopping center parking lots! It was good for some great laughs.

Another Batman quote I've heard used on occasion is "To the Batcave!"

Even better than Laaaaance is what he says "So. What your theooooory Darwin

 

[tsdragon]

Glad to see I'm not the only "Lancelot Link" fan. Although ostensibly written for children, the show was so full of puns, humorous references and visual jokes that an adult (more or less) would get more out of it than a child. Referring to his chief as "Professor Darwin" was one, the fact that the chief looked like Lewis Carroll (the chief in the "Man from U.N.C.L.E" series another, and his female partner being named "Mata Hairy" another.

I am suprised that you guys forgot about Star Trek... I think it should at least get honorable mention...

Get Smart is another favorite:

Missed it by that much. (with appropriate tiny space gesture with hand)

Would you believe...


When something becomes helplessly broken at work, we reference the classic Inspector Clouseau (sp?) in this exchange:

Inspector smashes piano with the mace attached to the glove stuck on his hand..

Woman: That's a priceless Steinway!
Inspector: Not any more.

Of course, it must be said with that wonderful accent that Peter Sellers invented.

Inspector: Do you have a massage?
Hotel Clerk: No, there is no message.
Inspector (disappointed): Thank you.
Hotel Clerk: By the way there is a message for you.

or

Inspector: The man outside the bank had a minky...
Chief: A minky?
Inspector: What?
Chief: You said minky.
Inspector: Yes, I know I did.

Since we started with Batman, how about
&quot;Look, up in the sky, it's a bird, it's a plane, it's SUPERMAN!&quot;

Another good one I know of is another Batman, but I can't post it here for real. I'ts &quot;Holy ******balls, Batman.&quot;

Dr Frankenstein: Would you mind telling me whose brain I DID put in?
Igor: You won't be angry?
Dr Frankenstein: I promise I will NOT be angry.
Igor: (pause) Abby someone.
Dr Frankenstein: Abby someone? Abby who?
Igor: Abby. . .normal.
Dr Frankenstein: So what you're saying is that I put an abnormal brain into a seven and a
half-foot-long, fifty-four inch-wide GORILLA!!


I love Mel Brooks.

One more thing, the quote was not exact. You have to watch the show to get the proper quote. Don't want to offend anybody here. And last, if you're easily offended don't watch the show, because you will be offended. For those of you that have seen it, you know what I'm talking about.

One of my favorites is when Count DeMoney is taking to his friend Bernaise and says "Don't get saucy with me Bernaise!" A really bad pun, typical of Mel Brooks.

Another classic some of my friends and I used to use a lot is "It's twue! It's twue!"
