Red Dwarf meme

Seen on several LJs:
Quote from Red Dwarf.

This is one of my favourites.

Lister: D'ya think Wilma's sexy?
Cat: Wilma Flintstone?
Lister: Maybe we've been alone in deep space too long, but every time I see that body, it drives me crazy. Is it me?
Cat: Well, I think in all probability, Wilma Flintstone is the most desirable woman that ever lived.
Lister: That's good. I thought I was going strange.
Cat: She's incredible!
Lister: What d'ya think of Betty?
Cat: Betty Rubble? Well, I would go with Betty... but I'd be thinking of Wilma.
Lister: This is crazy. Why are we talking about going to bed with Wilma Flintstone?
Cat: You're right. We're nuts. This is an insane conversation.
Lister: She'll never leave Fred, and we know it.

And for anyone who's ever sat a driving test (since [livejournal.com profile] sallymn mentioned hers elsewhere):
Rimmer to Kryten: Right, in your own time, if you'd like to start the space vehicle, proceed through the cargo bay doors, and off into outer space. Once through the doors, proceed directly to the nearest planet. Once there I want you to bring the vehicle to a halt and then carefully reverse into the planet's orbit, remembering of course at all times to pay due care and attention to any other space users. Right, in your own time.

LOL! Those are great. Red Dwarf is one of those shows I've heard a lot about but never quite got around to watching (ahem...like B7). I must do something about that.

I think they lost their way a bit when Rimmer wasn't there for a season or so, but in general it's brilliant, inventive, and very, very funny.

This is such a clever, hilarious series!

It is! And they've produced a new episode this Easter. I'm going to watch it now. :-)

It was on DAVE not the BBC so I can't watch it!!!!!!!! *wails*
They had better release it on DVD *glares*

Think I'll have to quote that Rimmer one at my driving instructor :-p

It was on DAVE LISTER! ;-)

Does your driving instructor talk like that?

Nope, he swears like a trooper (well, he was one *g*) and tells me what's right with the world & what's wrong (which normally takes longer than what's right!).
But it would appeal to his sense of humour :-)

Let me know how he reacts!

That first one is probably my favourite Red Dwarf quote :)

I love it so much too!
