Someone on the SGA writing staff has been watching Buffy. In one of the eps I watched last night, Sheppard said, "Not so much," and at the end of 114, he says, "Well, this is cool," and it just sounds an awful lot like Spike in "School Hard". To me, anyway.
YMMV.
The line definitely stuck out for me, but I hadn't associated it with Buffy. I may just do the unthinkable and rewatch.
I've been noticing "Not so much" being used a lot in TV and advertisements lately. It think it's entered the common lexicon at this point. (If it hadn't already.)
I know I picked up "Not so much" from Mad About You.
In this week's EW, Don Cheadle says "I think I threw up in my mouth a little."
Sure, it's a perfectly succinct and expressive phrase, but suddenly it's a craze that's sweeping the nation. Weird.

I noticed that, too. Where'd it start?
wasn't it a Happy Bunny thing? or did it start somewhere else first?
I thought it was a
Friends
thing.
I know it was said by Seth Green in one of the Austin Powers movies. There's a sound bite on the 'net. It may be from a deleted scene, tho.
hmmm
I think I've heard it on the Daily Show.
The one that sticks out in my mind is Christine Taylor saying it in those Dodgeball ads that were airing continuously a few months ago. I suspect the sheer repetition was what got it into the public consciousness.
Heh, it is popular. I think I remember it from, well, people posting about it here. Go figure.
