- Jean Luc Picard berating Wesley and also me, angry at my cats when I ask them if they knocked over the bag of treats and ate all the treats, and they refuse to answer me
There. Are. FOUR LIGHTS!! Also Jean Luc. Anytime I'm telling my SO there are 4 of something. This is probably why we can't keep friends.

No, just endless Simpsons references that fall on deaf ears.
You tried your best and you failed miserably. The lesson is...never try.
Oh, don't worry. Their idea of wit is nothing more than an incisive observation humorously phrased and delivered with impeccable timing.
Me to a Chinese teacher called Nick: 'Hello everybody! Hi Doctor Nick!'
*Confused face
I'm good for like the first 10 seasons, which are the best 10 seasons. I grew up on it and rewatched a lot of them as an adult. It's funnier as an adult.
Yeah seasons 3 through 8 were the Conan O'Brien years. That's the golden era.
But there are excellent episodes outside of that. I personally think "SE12 EP18 - Trilogy of Errors" is a top 5 episode. It's the one where marge cuts off homer's thumb, Milhouse finds fireworks in a cave and Lisa builds a ~~party~~ grammar robot. I haven't seen enough of seasons beyond like 20 or so to comment on them, but Ive heard they've actually been hitting a solid stride since the pandemic.

These are my go to quotes from Snatch and The Big Lebowski that I use whenever the occasion arises. Not everyone gets the reference. I also refer to my anxiety meds as "anti anxiety disco biscuits." I got that one from Shameless - my doctor got a kick out of that.

"why do we fall? ... So we can learn to pick ourselves up again"
People don't get THAT reference? That's a pretty popular movie and a line that was pretty key in the movie AND repeated multiple times.

Whenever someone says anything remotely close to "you can imagine what happens next" or "you can guess where this is going" I say:
"He fixes the cable?"

Not from a movie, but there's a line from The Office that really stuck with me:
"Not everything's a lesson, Ryan. Sometimes, you just fail."

"boil 'em, mash 'em, stick them in a stew"
Its dumb, but whenever someone mentions peaches I always hit them with "I could eat peaches for hours". An obscure line from Face Off but for whatever reason it's stuck in my head over all these years. No one ever gets the reference.

Im in fucking Austria. Illiterate farmers the lot of them here. Nobody has ever seen a movie in English or any other language than German.
There is nothing I can quote that they would recognise.
