100 Quotes Every Geek Should Know

[CrysisMcGee]

Seinfeld? Really?

Also, number 54 was voted one of the creepiest moments in cinematic history.

The list has a number of obscure references. Many of them seem out of place.

Some of them are decidedly meh, for example, I wouldn't call "Alright, alright, alright" a notable quote.
I also find it's lack of Red Dwarf disturbing, so a couple I would have added:
"Smoke me a kipper, I'll be back for breakfast." Ace Rimmer
"Space Corps directive 34124? No officer with false teeth should attempt oral sex in zero gravity?" Kryten
"Everybody's dead, Dave." Holly

To be fair, Red Dwarf was less about great one-liners, and more about the clashing nature of the characters. Though the last one is a good shout.

I think generally that list is missing what I'd call "iconic" quotes. There are two quotes from WarGames, neither of which I remember, and neither of which is "A strange game...the only way to win is not to play." Also, we have "I know kung fu" but not the blue pill/red pill speech?

I don't see how they couldn't have:

"he's impervious to everything" Godzilla Vs MechaGodzilla... one of those.

 

[Umberphoenix]

"Here I am, brain the size of a planet and they ask me to *insert menial task here*."

You should all know where that's from.

 

[Shoggoth2588]

"I bet you have!" *blaster-shot*

 

[ElTigreSantiago]

Ah. It warms my very soul. Thank you for the post.

Tremors!

 

[grimsprice]

I just can't believe there weren't any River Tam quotes in there.

"My food is problematic."
"The human body can be drained of blood in 8.6 seconds given adequate vacuuming equipment"


OH my personal favorite.

"Bible's broken; contradictions, false logistics. Doesn't make sense."

"Noah's ark is a problem. We'll have to call it "early quantum state phenomenon." Only way to fit five thousand species of mammal on the same boat."

"Also, I can kill you with my brain"

"(cockney accent) Sure, I got a secret. More than one. Don't seem likely I'd tell 'em to you now, do it? Anyone off Dyton Colony knows better than to talk to strangers. You're talking loud enough for the both of us though, ain'tcha? I've known a dozen like you. Skipped off home early, running graft jobs here and there. Spent some time in the lock down, but less than you claim. And you're what? Petty thief with delusions of standing? Sad, little king of a sad, little hill. ...Not really. Call me if anyone interesting shows up."

Ah, so many, and then from the movie. She says "I swallowed a bug."

 

[Cowabungaa]

I miss "FOR THE EMPEROOOOR!!!"

KHAAAAAAAAN!

Why is that also not included in the list, like, seriously?

"Here I am, brain the size of a planet and they ask me to *insert menial task here*."

You should all know where that's from.

And that too, I mean, that was Marvin's catchphrase!

 

[Nanaki316]

Wow I'm a pretty big geek but a lot of these are rubbish, disappointed

 

[Romaru]

They have at least 2 Evil Dead quotes in there but no;

"This is my BOOMSTICK!"

 

[Broady Brio]

They have at least 2 Evil Dead quotes in there but no;

"This is my BOOMSTICK!"

Groovy.

My one?

"I'll be back."

 

[chozo_hybrid]

KHAAAAAAAAN!

I miss "FOR THE EMPEROOOOR!!!"

KHAAAAAAAAN!

Why is that also not included in the list, like, seriously?

Khan: I've done far worse than kill you, Admiral. I've hurt you. And I wish to go on hurting you. I shall leave you as you left me, as you left her; marooned for all eternity in the center of a dead planet... buried alive! Buried alive...!
Kirk: KHAAANNNN!
[echo]
Kirk: KHAAANNNN!

I believe that's the better version of it, rather then just shouting Khans name out.

As for my quote:

"The earth? Oh the earth will be gone in a few seconds...I'm going to blow it up. It's obstructing my view of Venus." - Marvin the Martian

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

I know nearly none of those. I am not a fan of "movies". They're just a fad.

 

[Superasil]

Dr Ray Stantz: "Listen... do you smell something?"
