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!

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

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.

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

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.

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.
