This usually happens when I talk to myself, which is where I get around 98% of both my talking, and research done. But I constantly find myself quoting movies, books, people, videogames, comics, cartoons, anime, etc etc etc. I usually notice it in-between chuckling at a joke that I formed in my mind, and theorizing something on the sexual social order of mammals.

I can be talking about the ecosystem of mammals of debating the historical evidence vs the bible when I automatically quote Detective Conan, or Albert Einstein, or even a song.

Is there anyone else who does this, or am I just going insane?

I am all about quoting commercials.

Head-On, apply directly to forehead.
Activ-On, apply directly where it hurts.

I plug pop culture references into to everything. It actually works as a sort of bridge - helps me gauge if i read a conversation or situation correctly...

Yeah, I do quote things a lot, and make random references all the time that most people don't get...

I quote things a lot. Sometime they are things I think everyone will get but people tell me how high brow the quote was. For example, the other day I said "I bite my thumb at you sir" to someone, and they didn't get it.

My mom taught literature, so my childhood was full of quoting Shakespeare, Ts Eliot poems, Waiting for Godot and lots of other things that we to this day will go off about. Other people have NO idea!

Anyway, I love to quote things. It is way easier to converse with small quotes and repeated phrases if someone understands it. I love funny movie things, if it makes me laugh I will go around saying it for weeks, months, after. I love it when someone else gets it and we say it to each other over and over and over and over.

I watched the Hangover 2 in early December and I cannot stop saying "OH my word!" because Zach Galifianakis said it in a really funny way.

The only trouble I have with it, is that that sometimes I don't understand what something means, so I think it means one thing, and if I say it meaning that, and people are like" Um... I dont think that means what you think it means" hehe. oops!

I do this a lot, in fact I have whole conversations that are quotes strung together.. mainly black adder and Monty python..


shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shalt be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three.

Speckly?! AAHHHHHHHH! YOU SHOT MY SPECKLED JIM???

I find myself doing it a lot, but it has less to do with me trying to be funny or witty and more like I just naturally blurt it out.
