Comedy couple quotes - help needed!

Hi all,

So long story short - My other half and I are getting married in November and for table names, we are going with comedy couples.. so each table will have a card with the couples name, a picture and a quote (ideally but not neccessarily marriage/relationship related)
Below is the ones we have so far that we are reasonably happy with (but definitely open to better suggestions!)and the couples we are stuck on. If any of you guys wanna flex your considerable comedy knowledge muscles and help us out, we'd be really grateful.. Delighted and intrigued to hear any suggestions you have! (we've found it trickier than first thought) Thanks a lot folks..

Shane

Basil and Sybil -
It's nice to share a moment like that, isn't it, dear? It's what marriage is all about. I know - I read it on the back of a matchbox.

Del and Raquel
Derek, will you get it into your thick skull: I'm not trying to meet intelligent and sensitive people, I'm happy with you

Homer and Marge -
What is a wedding? Well, Webster's dictionary defines a wedding as "the process of removing weeds from ones garden"

Frank and Betty -
Betty: Our marriage was a great shock to her, she wanted me to marry someone else.
Frank: Who?
Betty : No-one in particular, just someone else.

Cam and Mitchell -
Cameron Tucker: I could so be a womanizer.
Mitchell Pritchett: Or you could be someone who just stepped out of a machine called the Womanizer.

Richard and Hyacinth -
Richard, is this the first chink in our marriage? I've heard about men in mid-life crisis. Now I'm warning you, Richard, I will not have you being unfaithful to my hats

Tom and Barbara -
Sheldon and Amy -
Peter and Lois -
Tim and Dawn -
Dave and Denise -

That is a great idea!

From The King Of Queens:

Doug: "You know what I really love about being married to you?"

Carrie: "Not having to pay for sex?"

From Married With Children

Peg: "I want sex!"

Al: "Sex again. Peg, we've been married for seventeen years. Now can't we just be friends? "

Peg: "No! I don't like you, I just want to have sex with you."

From Open All Hours:

Nurse Gladys Emmanuel: "What are your meringues like?"

Arkwright: "I'm not telling you till after we're married."

By the way, happy Wedding!!!

Thanks a lot Gordon, Married With Children is a good call. Think it's already on the maybe list should we need to swap out one of the others.. We've loosely picked the couple based on the age/taste etc of who'll be at the table. As far as I know there will be no King Of Queens fans present. Oh and we're gonna try to keep it *resonably* smut-free.. Thanks again!

Yes, I thought it could be a little inappropriate, sadly these were the best examples I could think of.

But I hope you don't keep your marriage smut-free.
;)

PS. I loved the one with the "womanizer machine"

Yeah, it's a cracker. Definately the best of the bunch so far..

Olive and Arthur.

1. Sybil: You seem very jolly.
Basil: Jolly?
Sybil: Yes, jolly. Sort of happy.
Basil: Oh, happy. Yes, I remember that.

2. Sybil to Basil: Oh, and one word of advice: If you're going to grope a girl, have the gallantry to stay in the room with her while you're doing it.

3. Sybil to Basil: Do you really imagine, even in your wildest dreams, that a girl like this could possibly be interested in an aging, brilliantine, stick-insect like you?

4. Basil: Seriously, Sybil, do you remember, when we were first manacled together, we used to laugh quite a lot?
Sybil: Yes, but not at the same time, Basil.

5. FROM CARRY ON ABROAD:

Evelyn Blunt (June Whitfield): Not for me thank you.
Vic Flange (Sid James): Oh. Don't drink?
Evelyn Blunt: No, I tried it once and didn't like it.
Vic Flange: Smoke?
Evelyn Blunt: I tried it once and didn't like it.
Vic Flange: Strange.
Evelyn Blunt: Not at all, my daughter is just the same.
Vic Flange: Your only child, I presume!

6. FROM CARRY ON LOVING:

Sidney Bliss (Sid James): I don't want much. Just to worship at your feet.
Esme Crowfoot (Joan Sims): I've got better bits.

7. FROM CARRY ON CABBY:

Peggy (Hattie Jacques): Do you remember what you said to me on our Wedding night?"
Sid (Sidney James): (Driving cab) 'course I do (shouts at another driver) "MOVE OVER AND GIVE US A BIT OF ROOM MATE"

From Everybody Loves Raymond

Frank: What kind of idiot would spend 80$ for a canoe ride ?

Marie: Some people think a canoe ride can be romantic.

Frank: I take it that you never saw "Deliverance".

Laughing out loud

Barbara: Oh, Tom, I don't deserve you.
Tom: Oh, yes, you do.

Jim: Get your coat on, Barb.
Barbara: Are you taking me with you?
Jim: No, I'm gonna turn the fire off... of course I'm taking you.

Some great stuff there folks, Thanks!
Anyone got anything for Tim/Dawn (office)? Might have to swap them out, absolutely nothing comes to mind for them..

A problem is that Tim and Dawn weren't a real couple until the (Christmas?) specials so they haven't got (m)any funny couple related moments (as far as I can remember).

Great idea for a wedding Shane. Could you not just have watched YouTube clips yourself?

Hancock: 'I thought my mother was a bad cook but at least her gravy used to move about! Yours just lies there and sets.'

Miss Pugh: 'That's the goodness in it.'

Hancock: 'That's the half a pound of flour you put in it!'

Been scouring the web for quotes alright, YouTube clips did not occur to me. Will give that a go. Either way, I thought it was worth seeing if anyone had any favouites that I might not come across otherwise..
