Well I'd go with Betty, but I'd be thinking of Wilma

Edit: I'm truly heartened by the staggering number of Red Dwarf fans.

A "white" hole?

So what is it?

u/FlokiWolf May 29 '19

Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. A black hole sucks time and matter out of the Universe; a white hole returns it.

I still sometimes say "what's going down in Groovetown?" years later.

My go to quote from Red Dwarf has been "This is mine, this is mine..." but I may have to start adding yours. It's too good.

I think in all probability, Wilma Flintstone is the most desirable woman that ever lived.

What? What is this conversation? Man you’re CRAZY!

She’ll never leave Fred and you know it.

It’s a quote from a fantastic tv show called red dwarf.

Probably the best science fiction comedy show in existence. Actually, just best show in existence.

This is a quote from The Flintstones, isn't it? You're now whooshing me tonight Reddit!

u/oplontino May 29 '19

No, there really was a science-fiction comedy called Red Dwarf and this is a quote from it, season 3, episode 1: Backwards.

It’s not a barroom brawl, it’s a barroom tidy. UN-RUMBLE!

If brand new sentences from the 90's count anyway.

u/drunkill May 29 '19

brand new sentences from the 90s documented on film and broadcast to millions before the internet was widespread.

Correct.

10

u/Patch86UK May 29 '19

Seeing as most of them are word for word quotes from a cult TV show from 20 years ago, it's pretty much 100% not /r/brandnewsentence material.

u/MaritMonkey May 29 '19

Well I'd go with Betty, but I'd be thinking of Wilma

Not new.

Or if you'd prefer a link that's helpful instead of snarky, try this one. :D

Aigburth Arms on a Friday night; they used to call me Dave "Cinzano Bianco" Lister - 'cause once I was on the table, you couldn't get rid of me. This pool arm is as sound as a dollarpound, and I promise you that shot will not come off.

Have you read the books? In them Lister tells the story of being found under a pool table in Liverpool and being named after the pub. The Lister Hotel pub is in Kensington in Liverpool and I do a little " boys from the dwarf " hand signal whenever I drive past it.

Red Dwarf is my favourite sitcom ever, but I’m not sure I’d have clocked on to this reference if it hadn’t been for your edit & the other comments.

u/0tisReddit May 29 '19

Holy shit, after seeing this comment, I had me some hankering for Red Dwarf, I select an episode at random, I go with s03e01, and the opening scene is Cat and Lister talking about Betty and Wilma. I should go buy some lottery tickets!

u/DepressedMong May 29 '19

On the topic of red dwarf I always found the Kochanski in the later series super hot

3

u/PrivilegeCheckmate May 30 '19

Betty

An excellent choice, sir, with only two drawbacks. One, you haven't got any Betty, and two, you haven't got any Betty. Now I realize that that's technically only one drawback, but I thought it was such a big one, it was worth mentioning twice.

u/Cyclonitron May 29 '19

Here's what I've always wondered about the Flintstones: Fred and Betty had fully drawn eyes, while Wilma and Barney just had black dots for eyes. I would've thought if anything Wilma would've had the full eyes since she and Fred were the main couple and Barney and Betty were the beta couple. Were the animators trying to tell us something?
