You get that with certain TV shows and Internet memes too. Recently I've been watching Community and there's an "oh, so that's where that's from" every two or three episodes.

I don't think they can be the same because "spoony bard" was just a silly translation.

I use the line "it's better than good—it's good enough" all the time irl because of how perfect it is

I know a guy who only watched Peep Show recently and was genuinely baffled at how many quotes he took for actual sayings came from the show.

I also remember having a lot of moments of recognition watching, for instance, Airplane. Not just quotes, but also a few reaction gifs.

Yeah, Seinfeld famously is like this, to the point that it's kind of retroactively ruined by the degree to which every subsequent sitcom imitated it.

this is a famous but fallacious myth. Seinfeld is good, it is funny. It's not ruined by being overdone. It's just as fresh today as it was in the 90s.

If you think otherwise it's because you mistakenly believe what other people say more than what you yourself feel, which is cowardly and false.
