In our opinion, using constant nineties quotes makes someone even cooler than they’d otherwise be.
“You can’t handle the truth!”
You didn’t even need to see A Few Good Men (or the play it’s based on) to know this one. In fact, you probably heard it from its many parodies, from 3rd Rock From the Sun to The Simpsons to Seinfeld.
“You’re killing me, Smalls.”
Want to let someone know they’ve disappointed you in the most benign way possible? This classic movie, The Sandlot, has you covered.
“Oh, Mylanta!”
Full House had a lot of catchphrases, but this minced oath still shows up when we want to swear but can’t or shouldn’t.
“Yada yada yada.”
This phrase has been around since maybe the 1950s and was famously used by comedian Lenny Bruce, but a lot of people only got exposed to it when it showed up on Seinfeld. Ever since, everyone’s been yada yada yada-ing the best part of their stories.
“Go home, Roger.”
You can use this banger from Sister, Sister to gently tell anyone you like that it’s time to leave because you’re ready to pack it in.
“D’oh!”
Apparently these are always written into Simpsons scripts as “annoyed grunt.” Now the word D’oh is in the dictionary.
“Show me the money.”
Cuba Gooding Jr. got us all psyched about showing him the money in 1996, and we’ve been psyched about it ever since.
“Help me help you.”
That’s right, there are two Jerry Maguire quotes on this list. It’s one of the most quotable films of the nineties and this one is so quotable that people who use it don’t even know they’re using a film quote.
“It’s naht a toomah!”
Let’s be honest: you only use this so you can do your best Schwarzenegger.
“There’s no crying in baseball.”
Be warned: you probably can’t get away with using this in the way Tom Hanks does.
“Hold on to your butts.”
Get ready, we’re about to solve this problem. Although the problem won’t be as big as what happened in Jurassic Park.
“That’ll do, pig. That’ll do.”
Is there any better way to annoy someone you love than to quote Babe, the bestest and onlyest movie about a pig who herds sheep?
“Ugh, as if!”
Sometimes, we all need to channel our inner Cher Horowitz.
“No soup for you!”
It isn’t often we’re denying our friends and relatives soup, so we use it more generally.
“Superstar!”
This quote has to be accompanied with your best Molly Shannon impression. Bonus points if you embarrass your kids at the same time.
“Never give up, never surrender!”
This quote from Galaxy Quest is more of a motto than a quote.
“Make it so.”
We’ll never have the gravitas of Patrick Stewart as Captain Picard (or Patrick Stewart as anything), but that doesn’t stop us from trying.
