Favourite Dreddisms

[Dandontdare]

The wonderful line in this month's meg -  "Don't feed me the mouldy munce, Citizen" - led me to reflect on some of Joe Dredd's greatest one liners. Who said he has no sense of humour or the dramatic? You just know that he stays up late in Rowdy Yates some nights thinking 'ooh, that's a good one, I'll use that tomorrow!'

What are your all time favourites? I'll get the ball rolling with one that always stuck in my mind, namely: "One more step and it's knee-popping time, creep!"

[BPP]

'walking soup cans' - dredd's endearing term for robots during Robot Wars.

[JamesC]

I always remember 'Drokk! Slowster in the fast lane!'

There haven't been enough traffic related Dredds lately. I want some mopad action!

[satchmo]

Always loved Dredd putting away the copycat in The (S)Executioner.
"Meathead! You're doing Thirty!"

[Dark Jimbo]

"Meathead! You're doing Thirty!"

Damn, that's what I was going to say.

Alright then, during the first Blood of Satanus when Dredd is told by Control to handle a suspect 'with kid gloves.'

So he jumps through the window amid a shower of glass and punches the perp in the face yelling 'Suck my kid glove, Punk!'

[James Stacey]

Judge Child Quest - "You Creeps must think I sailed through space on a synthi-biscuit"
What the hell is that supposed to mean  

[Hoagy]

Al Ewing's "Meatballs" are impressive.

[Bouwel]

I think 'Gaze into the fist of Dredd' takes a bit of beating myself.

-Bouwel-

[IAMTHESYSTEM]

Yep, the 'Fist of Dredd' for me too or 'A little demonstration to encourage the others. You're not the only one in showbusiness' from America.

[Hoagy]

OOh and lets get down "Next time we get our retaliation in first!" while we're rifling out the classics.

On second perusal should it not be Munceballs?

[Eric Plumrose]

So obvious it's easily forgotten, but:

"I AM THE LAW!"

[Kev Levell]

"He ain't heavy, he's my brother."

[Jim_Campbell]

"The name's Dredd. You may have heard of me - I'm a stickler."

Cheers!

Jim

[W. R. Logan]

"The name's Dredd. You may have heard of me - I'm a stickler."

im with Jim on this one, im ashamed to say Ive even used the whole speech before

[Robin Low]

I'm rather fond of this one, which has been used with increasing frequency in recent years:

"Hmmph."
