"Hey! I resemble that remark!"
Christy
group for the past four years. My friend and I are having a debate as
to which episode Xander said "Hey! I resemble that remark!" I knew I
could rely on my reliable newsgroupers for help. So, if any of you
can give me the answer, it'd be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

He never said that. There are a couple of fanfictions in which it's said
(once by Xander, once by Buffy); but never the show.
He *did* however, say 'I resent that. Or possibly thank you' in 'Bad Eggs',
which might be what you're thinking of.

That was a phrase I was fond of using back in high school (late 70s). I
don't remember where it started or where I picked it up from, but it
definately goes back further than the internet.

OK. I can't find it in any BTVS transcript. My web searches say Al
Gore thinks Groucho said it while others attribute it to Curly of The

Not the Marx Brothers, but the Howard brothers. It's a Three Stooges
line.
I don't remember Xander saying it, but it's the sort of thing he might
say.

I remember it in British comic (or 'funny paper') 'The Beano', in which a
stupid character called Smiffy (think George W. Bush with a braincell.
Sorry, American republicans) said it at some point.

Regarding Xander's hardboiling of his egg,
Giles: "It does show a certain Machiavellian ingenuity."
Xander: "I resent that!"
Giles looks at him.
Xander: "Or possibly thank you."

Um, I'm pretty sure Xander did say it, but I don't recall the exact
episode or lines, but I do think he said that one at the very
beginning of an episode while he, Giles, Buffy, and Willow are all in
a cave fighting Some kind of Wizard of Oz Wicked Witch looking things.
He makes a fool of himself and is saved by everyone else and giles
makes some comment about helpless innocents who get in the way. It may
have been at the beginning of "The Zeppo" ,since it would fit the
theme of the ep, but I don't think so.

Or I could be completely wrong, which, I in fact am. It was the Zeppo,
but Xander didn't even say anything close to that (just checked) Sorry
for the waste of a post.

He kind of said something close the next day; Cordelia verbally pokes him
for being a no-powers nobody, like Jimmy Olsen. He laughs 'I was just saying
that to, HEY, mind your own business!' (or in so many words)
AFAIK, "I resemble that!" is the domain of Curly Howard. HRRRARF! Nyuk nyuk
nyuk!

Is that still around? I thought it died years ago. But Smiffy is a character
I don't recall. Now was "Deperate Dan" the huge cowboy who ate entire cows
baked into gigantic pies (horns and hooves sticking out from the crust) in 'The
Beano', or "The Dandy"?

>to which episode Xander said "Hey! I resemble that remark!"
I *swear* I heard David Addison say that on Moonlighting two days ago. (I watch
it on Bravo on my lunch hour. Kick ass show! I was too little to watch when it
was new, so I'm muchly enjoying catching up.) Do you think that's where you
heard it? David and Xander are vaugly similar characters; you may have gotten
them mixed up.
Other than that, it may be a semi-common comedic line. I heard someone on MASH
in a mid-70's ep said "I'm not as think as you drunk I am." Ykno, like the
tagline on all those shirts the college alcoholics-- I mean, college partiers
wear.

Okay, hoisted I'll admit.
Apparently correct though just the same, as others have claimed it to be of
Three Stooges fame.

Well, I use his line(as he's answering a question from one of his

It's still around, but it did die years ago, at least in terms of being
entertaining or funny. Smiffy is one of the characters in gritty school
drama The Bash Street Kids (Skinhead, yellow jumper, tie).
And Desperate Dan was in The Dandy.

The last time I read or saw that phrase out of context of The Three
