Over at Ask Metafilter, milovoo asks Is there a way to gently steer someone away from constant Simpsons or Monty Python quoting?

Actually, my own quoting of Python has never been constant, or even excessive, even in groups where that sort of thing is de rigueur. I’ve performed Python sketches with friends plenty of times, but the hours spent quoting lines back and forth sort of fell by the wayside after junior high. Nowadays, I usually restrict that sort of thing to the caption gallery.
