1. Reply to this post, and I will pick five of your icons.
2. Make a post (including the meme info) and talk about the icons I chose.
3. Other people can then comment to you and make their own posts.
4. This will create a never-ending cycle of icon glee.

Fun times! I only have a measly fifteen icons, so between [livejournal.com profile] persephone33 and [livejournal.com profile] nbaeker there was a significant overlap. Here goes: 

Carrie chose: 



From Mystery Science Theater 3000, where humans and robots come together to make fun of awful, awful movies. This one's from the movie 'The Skydivers', a total dud. I don't get to use this icon too often because it's so dismissive and doesn't apply to very many situations, but I enjoy it too much to let it go.



Arrested Development is probably my favourite show ever. Tobias is auditioning for a commercial for a boutique fire sale, except going the absolute worst way about it. "Oh my god! We're having a fire! ...sale." The scene cracks me up every single time. I use this when I feel like wailing about some kind of horrible injustice that's been rained upon my person.

Nicole chose: 



30 Rock! Probably my second favourite show ever. This line coming out of Alec Baldwin's mouth? Gold, Jerry. Gold.



I pretty much like every Pixar movie ever made, and Dory is just lovely. Back in the day I used to blog on Blogger.com as a way to keep in touch with my RL friends, and I was really taken with the LJ idea of using icons appropriate to the posts, so this was one of the first icons I snagged and I think the only one that I've kept in the transition to LJ. It's for when there are so many feelings that 'happy' just doesn't cut it.

They both chose: 



More AD! I made this one. The screencap is actually from the 'taste the sad' scene, but you can see more of their faces here (particularly Michael's being weirded out). The Bluths make me happy.



I don't know who made this one; I saw someone using it in a comm I watch and knew I had to have it. It's just so, so pretty.



Hee. This was me trying my hand at making an animated icon, and Magilla Gorilla and Peter Potamus just happened to be perfect for the quote. It could have turned out much better, probably. The quote marks the precise moment I (and Willow) fell in love with Oz on Buffy. Because, who could seriously pull off an inane conversation between animal crackers while trying to pick up a girl? Oz, that's who.

I just adore your Dory icon. It never fails to make me giggle :)

Hee. It is super cute! If I had more icon space there'd totally be more Dory in there.

I've always loved your Dory icon. :D Now that you've mentioned that the monkey icon was a line spoken by Oz, I remember that episode! Every time I see you use that icon, I know that I remember it from somewhere, but I can never recall.

And I honestly do not remember which episode of 30 Rock that brilliant "crap storm" quote comes from. I can picture Alec Baldwin saying it, but I can't remember the episode.

And you call yourself an Oz fan. I kid, I kid. :D

I don't remember which 30 Rock episode it is either! I want to say season 1, but who knows? It had something to do with Tracy, but that doesn't narrow it down much, does it?

Want to do the meme?

I'm leaning toward season 1 as well. I'm also leaning toward it having something to do with Tracy, but I want to say that the quote was directed toward Liz.

And sure! Why not? :)

Pixar pretty much rocks. And Finding Nemo is one of the cutest movies I've ever seen. :)

Indeed! I don't own it, but if it's on TV I'll always sit down and watch it.

Want to play?
