Please don't butcher the classics, Lois!

Anybody else get a little irritated in the opening scene when Lois came out saying "Ollie, Ollie... whatever, whatever"? I mean jeez, I really hate it when writers decide to go and screw with such a great turn of phrase like that!

I just remembered a scene in an old Tiny Toons cartoon episode where someone dunked their head in a lake and shouted "Ollie, Ollie oxygen-free!" and it actually made for a better sight gag then Lois' lame-ass version.

OMG, this is getting ridiculous, yet another negative thread about Lois? And about something as little as that?? C'moooon!

[Satch]

I didn't think anything of it. I thought it was kind of funny!

I thought it was funny too. Chill out, dude.

Hey it's nothing against Lois' personality. I love how she delivers her lines but I just thought that part was kinda lame. Oh well, maybe I just keep expecting her to say something overly goofy too much.

dun read too much to the dialogue, she razzing Ollie, thats all

God man you're right Lois is a REAL "FEMALE DOG"

oh I'm sorry I said a naughty word!!!

I love Lois, but I agree, that line was pretty corny. Not that it matters anyway.

[Jephael]

I'll admit that maybe I was a little harsh before but I'm just saying they could've done a better job goofing around with that term.

How is Ollie Ollie Oxen free a classic? LOL!

I googled it...

By "classics" I meant something old fashioned that hasn't quite withstood the tests of time, but had its merit.

Honestly though, I was just trying to make light of an insignificant part of the episode.
