Your favourite 'Carry-on' quotes.

“Clearance Clarence”
“Roger Roger, what’s my vector Victor!”

I find all the ‘Carry On’ films extremely crass, I’m afraid. Many were shown on TV in New Zealand where I grew up, but sexual innuendo is a peculiarly British style of humour that doesn’t seem to have gained traction anywhere else in the world – certainly not in New Zealand. That said, I’m sure many of the New Zealand attempts at humour from those days would appear equally banal.
For me, M*A*S*H is head and shoulders above anything else, but I’ll concede that humour is very much a matter of personal taste. I could watch Majors Winchester and Houlihan for ever.

If we are going outside of Carry on then Laurel and Hardy. It might be almost a century old but stuff like this still makes me laugh:

I am serious and don’t call me Shirley!

Took a while but i knew someone would respond.

I’d also submit for your consideration some of the Marx Brothers efforts…

Absolutely 🙂 …..

Humour is generational and somewhat national….so some will find Airplane! better than the Carry On films.

I’d also submit for your consideration some of the Marx Brothers efforts…

Surely you can’t be serious?

I am serious and don’t call me Shirley!

This will lose something written long hand no doubt…. in Carry On Crusing, Sid James is the captain and he passes by a steward who is hesitating to go into a cabin where a honeymoon couple are awaiting breakfast.

Sid James tells him not to be nervous, on his first cruise he knew of a steward who walked in on a naked woman and without batting an eye, he said “excuse me Sir, I didn’t know you were here”, and left sparing the feelings of the lady.

Emboldened by the this, the Steward opens the door, walks in on the honeymoon couple and says “right then, which one of you two fellas has sugar in their tea”.

Doctor “We must get these people to hospital”
Stewardess “What is it ?”
Doctor “It’s a big building with patients in it ,but that’s not important right now!”

The always funny Airplane!

OK then, well off the Carry On theme 😉

Gentlemen, you can’t fight in here! This is the War Room!

Let’s open this thread up a bit more. It’s going so well, and making me laugh.

“Vot is your name?”

“Don’t tell him Pike”.

:D:D

I enjoy watching the Carry-On… films, but there isn’t many quotes that stand out for me, I’ve always prefered Norman Wisdom’s the most be it from real life or from his films.

“As you get older three things happen. The first is your memory goes, and I can’t remember the other two.”

“There was a small Orphan, maybe about 5 or 6 years old, crying on the side of the street, nobody could make him smile or laugh. Even though he couldn’t understand English I went up to him and went; ‘Urgggspspspspspspspspsp!’ and he was in fits of laughter!”

“How long will the ambulance be, Norman?”
“Oh, about 18 feet, Mr. Grimsdale.”

Mr. Grimsdaaaaale!”

Legend!

The one that still gets me in that movie is…..Sid James…

Sid James is a comedy genius in ‘Carry on Cleo’!

When he, as Mark Antony, arrives at Caesar’s camp in, typically, dreadful British weather:

Guard: ‘Hail, Mark Antony!’

Mark Antony: ‘Hail…..snow, rain, thunder, lighting – the lot!’ 😀

A line from ‘Carry On Cowboy’….

Joan Sims (as saloon girl) – “My real name’s Mary, but round here I’m known as Belle”

Sid James (as The Rumpo Kid) – ” Remind me to give you a clang sometime”

I think it was it Carry On Doctor when the line came up where a doctor was examining a young voluptuous girl with his stethoscope.

Placing the stethoscope on the young ladies chest the doctor says “Big breaths”

To which the girl replied, “Yes and I’m only 16.”

Kenneth Wiiliams on finding the torn off ear from the monster (Carry on Screaming)..

“Oh well you know what they say, ear today gone tomorrow!”

a couple of Young Frankenstein quotes;

Marty Feldman lifting the rather well endowed Teri Gar from the cart when someone knocks on the large oak door with a very impressive iron door knocker.
Gene Wilder “What knockers!”
Teri Gar “Why thank you heir doctor”

Teri Gar contemplating the physical size of the monster.
“He must have an amazing swangstucker?”
Gene Wilder thinking for a moment “Well, it goes without saying!”.

…Heir Blucher! (Whinneeeeyyyy!!)

Kenneth Williams (as Julius Caesar on being murdered in the senate): Infamy! Infamy! They’ve all got it in for me! 😀 (Carry on Cleo)

The one that still gets me in that movie is when Sid James says:

“Markus!” and the guy replies ‘nah, I’m Spencius, thats Markus over there’

then the camera pull back to show ‘Markus Et Spencius’

Or the Kenneth Williams scene where he says

‘Ohh where are me laurels?! Oh there they are. I was sitting on them’.

“Mrs Slowcombe you are late?”
“yes Captain Peacock. It was raining and I had to dry my dear old pussy in front of the fire!”

Who can forget Mrs Slowcombe and her pussy.:)

“.. and I am unanimous in that”.
