Sorry, this is for the middle-aged:



RImmer: Is something amiss?

Lister: Amiss? God no, what could possibly be amiss?

RImmer: You don't think there's anything amiss? I'm sitting here wearing a red and white checked gingham dress and army boots and you think that's un-amiss?

Cat: No, of course not. It's just that we thought you'd gone nuts!

Ok...and I'm not going to deny google may have helped...

Cat: “What was it like being a hamster?” Lister: “It was better than being a chicken. Have you seen the size of an egg? Seen the size of a chicken’s bum? That’s what all the clucking was about.
Lister: “Listen, Kryten, I’ve been thinking about this. I’ve come up with something.” Kryten: “Yes, sir?” Lister: “I’m going to use my brains for the first time in my life.” Kryten: “Considering the circumstances, sir, do you really believe that’s wise?
Cat: “All in all, a 100 per cent successful trip.” Kryten: “But, sir, we lost Mr Rimmer!” Cat: “All in all, a 100 per cent successful trip…l
And also something about the potato king, something about the justice planet and getting fucked over the head with a shovel and generally for its time* being absolutely awesome.

RIMMER: The distress call. Why d'you say "Mayday?" It's only a Bank Holiday. Why not "Shrove Tuesday" or "Ascension Sunday?" (Mimics)
Ascension Sunday! Ascension Sunday! The fifteenth Wednesday after Pentecost! The fifteenth Wednesday after Pentecost!
 
LISTER: Cat?
CAT: Mmm?
LISTER: Ya ever see the Flintstones?
CAT: Sure!
LISTER: D'ya think Wilma's sexy?
CAT: Wilma Flintstone?
LISTER: Maybe we've been alone in deep space too long, but every time I
see that sharmi body, it drives me crazy. Is it me?
CAT: Well, I think in all probability, Wilma Flintstone is the most
desirable woman that ever lived.
LISTER: That's good. I thought I was goin' strange.
CAT: She's incredible!
LISTER: What d'ya think of Betty?
CAT: Betty Rubble? (Pause) Well, I would go with Betty... but I'd be
thinking of Wilma.
LISTER: This is crazy. Why are we talking about going to bed with Wilma
Flintstone?
CAT: You're right. We're nuts. This is an insane conversation.
LISTER: She'll never leave Fred, and we know it.
 
With a different cast, Red Dwarf could have been a lot worse. I like it, despite and because if its teenage humour, cos it took (some of) it's sci-fi ideas seriously and mined those for comedy, rather than them just being window dressing on a bog standard sitcom. No other show could have done Backwards, for example.

Oh hang on, a quote then.

"When in Rome, do as the Snamor do."
 
I had a short audio clip on my Amiga (yes, it was many moons ago) that I played on a loop for an hour or more because I was very stoned. It went like this:

Kryten: Sir, they've taken Mr Rimmer.
Cat: Quick, let's get out of here, before they bring him back.

Though it was about 25 years ago, it never really went away :D
