"There wolf. There castle." – Igor/Marty Feldman from Young Frankenstein (that's FRAHNK-uhn-steen)

"… monies …" – The Tallest, Invader Zim. In the Invader Zim series, the Irken Civilization uses a currency called "money", the plural of which is "monies", as in "I will wager ten thousand monies on Zim to die first."

"Kill it with fire." – The Interwebz. The Internet is a celebrity, right?

As others have pointed out, Monty python. It takes nothing for nerds to start quoting Monty python.
I remember the world premier of two towers. They had some guys dressed as nazgul fighting infornt of the cinema.
It took like half a second before a dozen nerds started quoting the black knight sketch.

Karellian Knight23 Nov 2019 7:18 a.m. PST

Lots of Hudson's quotes from Aliens. Occasional Monty Python quips. Sprinkles of Zulu quotes.

etc
