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.)
Zoe: Yeah? Thought you'd get land crazy that long in port. Wash: Probably, but I've been sane a long while now, and change is good.

A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much anything else that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
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.

All is well that ends in pizza.
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.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
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.

McKay even calls him
I got a kick out of the second time, too. When McKay says, "Oh my god, he is Kirk. "

NBC is going to re-air Battlestar Galactica in January -- but it will have been edited down from 4 hours to 3 hours.
Perhaps, this might actually improve it by tightening it up.
