If you could only communicate using quotes from one TV show for the rest of your life, which show would you choose and how would that change your interactions?

I'd say Simpsons, because it has probably the largest base of useful quotes.
Futurama. I don't what I would do if I couldn't tell people to bite my shiny metal ass.

Star Trek: TNG
“Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra”
Wouldn't change much honestly.
35 0 ReplyYeah, I was going to cheat and go with “the entire Star Trek franchise”
And… I pretty much already speak entirely in Star Trek quotes.

20 0 ReplyThat's how you speak isn't it, through metaphor
This broke my brain when I watched again, because I constantly use star trek, wars, Simpsons, Seinfeld, and so many other references to explain how I'm feeling.
Unfortunately no one else watches them.

Arrested development! Not sure it would change my daily interactions.
I've made a huge mistake
19 0 ReplyPulp Fiction. I can still say useful everyday phrases like "Well, let's not start sucking each other's dicks quite yet."
18 0 ReplyI'm pretty sure nobody around me understands why I always say little KANGaroo so strangely.
And no, I don't often have reasons to say that, but that doesn't stop me from making my own.

I take "Yes, Minister" together with it's follow-up "Yes, Prime Minister". It's old, yes, and British, but I've yet to see a series with more memorable quotes.
11 0 Replydon't forget the 2013 remake!

I must rewatch this, I feel I was too young to get most of the more subtle humour when I first watched it.
2 0 ReplyAbsolutely. The scenes where Sir Humphrey explains British Newspapers to the minister or talks with Frank Weisel about conscription were absolutely gold! Or "The Prime Minister giveth, and the Prime Minster taketh away." ;-)

"30 Rock" No interaction I've ever had would be different...
6 0 ReplyLocal station news program. I suspect that would cover the most broadly applicable things that you'll need to deal with. Aside from local place names you'll still be able to talk about national and international news, finance/taxes, medical situations, weather, sports and entertainment, food... You'd have decades worth of back catalog to access from. You'd probably be wanting for specifics on some super niche hobbies, but it's hard to think of much that you'd be missing entirely from your available phrases.
8 2 ReplyThe Office, basically it wouldn’t change anything because I already speak in mostly deep cut quotes and references from the show.

My favorite show, Psych. My daily interactions will allow for lots of pineapples.
5 0 ReplyLetterkenny, give your balls a tug!
5 0 ReplyFirefly. Using gorramitt, shiny, "I'm shocked my own self", and "big damn hero" on the regs would be right some good.
5 0 ReplySame, but mainly because I already have all of the quotes and I do use them fairly regularly. The only downside is that the show was murdered in its infancy by Fox who I will never forgive and thus provides a limited vocabulary.
Edit:
Also, "Per-maybe-haps I'm thinkin'."
3 0 ReplyNever forget what they did to us.
3 0 ReplyI always think of Fox as the Alliance. They change the order the shows aired and the time/date. Bastards.

2 0 ReplyThe Regular Show. Mostly means I'm going to tap the nearest person to me to present all questions/answers in a synchronized choreographed song and dance.
IRL tho, ever since watching Letterkenney, all my friends and I do the fancy "To be fair" thing constantly.
