I'd say 95% of these are the constant Patrick pre-movie "Witty" lines that everyone quotes. Examples?

-Is Mayonaise an instrument
-KICKING, I WANT TO DO SOME KICKING
-I Love You
-THIS IS PATRICK
-Wumbology
-Ugly Barnacle (sorry UB)
-I can't see my forehead
-Oh boy! 3 AM
-etc. etc.

maybe I'm being an old grump, but I can't stand to hear quotes that have been said 3093095056032523092 times, especially when there's so many patrick quotes I DO LIKE such as

-my mind is nothing but an enigma
-Knowledge cannot replace friendship, i'd rather be an idiot than lose you
-Let's just take Bikini Bottom and push it somewhere else (though memes could ruin this one for me too)
-I need to wear my teeth and brush my pants!
-It's the apocalypse, office products are falling from the sky!
-Are you Squidward? Are you Squidward now?

(notice how these quotes aren't quoted in RL so often)

or Patrick's moments of dumb that solve everything such as

-Patrick trying to collect the air of the balloon
-Patrick having bad breath and opening himself to tentacle acres
-Patrick actually getting Bikini Bottom to push the city
-Having a to do list of nothing
-Must get an ice cream

(notice how these are moments rather than quotes that are always memefied)

I realize I've been rambling only about Patrick when this applies to everyone, but really, he's the character who I have this main gripe with. It's especially shameful as a lot of the above quotes used to be hilarious, but lost so much value when people kept saying them every darn chance they got. I can see why people hate memes now.

For moments I can't stand outside Patrick that are overquoted to death

"That smelly, smell smell that smells smelly" (too unbothered to get it right)
I'm sure there's more, but one I absolutely despise:

"CHOCOLATEEE" -_- -_- -_-

So, any that you guys particularly have beef with?
 
CHOOOCLATTTE

And Sweet Victory, which was good, but very overrated
 
Well, harsh title :P

But, "CHOOCOLATTEEEE" Is overused sooo much (not to the point were I want it gone, but you know)

Another one: "Is Mayonnaise an Instrument?" I never found that quote to be amusing as to making 1,000+ memes about it.

For SpongeBob, "Soiled it", was one I never found exciting (only the face he put) :P

There are some really good quotes out there that REALLY should be used more often like, "It's a Night Shirt!!!" and "I don't wanna die in my underwear. Here, die in mine" <--- :rofl:
 
Most of Patrick's quotes are like this for me, honestly. ESPECIALLY "Is mayonnaise an instrument?" As much as I love Band Geeks, I really don't see why everyone likes that line so much. Plankton has a line right before it that I find much funnier: "Do instruments of torture count?" It's a shame that quote gets overlooked all the time. Actually, I think in general Plankton is unfairly overlooked in BG. He's hilarious in that episode and his harmonica solo is so cute omg.

There are so many great quotes from other characters, why are Patrick's the ones that everyone remembers most? I don't know, maybe it's due to me not being much of a Patrick fan, but I just wish other characters' quotes got more attention.

Oh yeah, and you can count most of Chocolate With Nuts, as well. If I hear "CHOCOLAAAAAATE!" one more time I think I might explode.
 
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS TOPIC. :p I was literally thinking about overused quotes today. Most of these famous quotes are like 15 years old. So it's not like we're grumpy fans, these are just so dang old. :p That being said, I agree with Omair on the Patrick quotes, especially wumbo and the mayo instrument ones.

It's because these quotes are quotable. They are instantly funny, you don't need much context. The others that you list are not as quotable, and so aren't used as much.
(also pre-movie was better kthxbai)

I do agree that those quotes that are overused are funny, but some of the quotes Omair mentioned are GREAT. Except for the moments, I do agree those are only funny in context.
 
Also, the Krusty Krab pizza song.
 
I agree with HPL. I like Patrick, but many of the other characters have much MUCH better quotes than "Is mayonaise an instrument?". Personally, I find that line by itself more dumb than funny. Here are some quotes that are highly overlooked, shall we?

  • Plankton: So, you decided to come crawling back to me, huh?
  • Karen: [a laser machine comes down] What did you say?
  • Plankton: [chuckles nervously] Nothing, dear.
  • Karen: [zaps him] Yeah, that's what I thought you said, honey bunch.

EXCELLENT job genius! You really fixed the place up! :p

Mr. Krabs: But don't you wanna spend any money? :(
Old Biker: Don't you wanna kiss the seat of my pants?! :p


AAHH YA GOT ME! Well, at least it's underwire!

  • Mr. Krabs: Oh, boo-hoo! Let me play a sad song for you on the world's smallest violin! [moves his fingers and music plays]
  • Squidward: This is serious.

YES TO ALL OF THESE.


Also, if I may, one of my favorite lines from Mr. Krabs: "Donate to the children's hospital?! Why? What have children ever done for me?"

It's so awful but so hilarious. :rofl:

One more thing, I'm pretty sure it's "standing fee", not "field". :p

"Is this how you get your sick kicks?"

"In a cosmic sorta way, yes."

Whenever I'm asked questions like that, that's pretty much my response every time and I never get tired of it.

I love that quote too. I love using it when I get the chance.

Yup, you know what it is.

This has absolutely nothing to do with pre-movie vs. post-movie in any way.

And as for the quotes being more quoteable, sure you have that, but when they get said so many times over the course of 10+ years, they're bound to get old.

YOU JUST HAD TO MAKE THAT REFERENCE DIDNT CHA.
 
I've never been a big fan of the short and dumb but apparently hysterical quotes, which, like you mentioned, usually come from Patrick. While I appreciate the simple jokes, I much prefer gags with a bigger build-up and some degree of complexity, or subtler humor derived from character interactions, timing, facial expressions etc. But those things don't get quoted nearly as often because there may be several lines of dialogue or context needed to make it funny, whereas the one-liners are far easier to remember and understand without context.

This. A lot of my favorite quotes/moments can't be quoted because too much context is needed for them. I'm not much for "short and dumb" quotes, as you put it.
