Some trends seem like they'll never die -- leggings, conservative Supreme Courts, revenge-driven undead mud-golems, etc.

Quote, er, quite often, the most annoying pop-cultural phenomena come from our most beloved films and TV shows. Think the off-the-shoulder "Flashdance" look, the revival of swing and (UGH) ska, and most recently, the infernal Daniel Day-Lewis impressions.

Look, we think it's fun to quote our favorite movies ... up to a point. But the next time a guy tries to woo us with his crappy Daniel Plainview, we're going to beat him with a blunt instrument until he stops twitching.

Click through below for our top-10 list of incredibly annoying, woefully over-quoted movies and shows to which we're incredibly glad to bid hasta la vista.

... And be sure to leave your picks for Most Over-Impersonated in the comments.

10 Cultural Phenomena We're Glad Are Over
Along with the Octomom, other pop culture moments we wish would go away...
Comedy Central

10 Pop Culture Phenomena Were Glad Are Over

    "Jerry Maguire"
    "You had me at hello," "Show me the Money," and pretty much anything from the "Jerry Maguire" remix of Bruce Springstreen's "Secret Garden." "Help me help you" out of a seventh-story window.

    "Forrest Gump"
    Doing the "Forrest Gump" voice? At least Tom Hanks was only pretending to be borderline retarded.

    "The Chappelle Show"
    We are NOT GLAD this show is over. (Dave, if you can hear us, come back!) We can't say the same for the "I'm Rick James" phenomenon. When was the ringtone of our blind date, we faked a seizure.

    Comedy Central

    "Swingers"
    And the whole 1990's "swing" revival. Remember those guys who liked ska and wore silk bowling shirts? Whatever the opposite of "money" is, you are it, my friend.

    "Ace Ventura"
    Before he broke our hearts in "Eternal Sunshine," Jim Carrey broke our spirits.

    Everett Collection

    "Napoleon Dynamite"
    "Vote for Pedro" shirts: when mainstream America discovered irony! The real "irony" being that this movie was about as funny as "Blood Diamond."

    Fox Searchlight

    "Clueless"
    The only thing worse than condoning making out with your stepbrother? Ripping off "Valley Girl" and "Emma" in one fell swoop. Thanks again for disappearing, Alicia Silverstone!

    Paramount

    "Titanic"
    Oh, the soundtrack. Thank goodness the days of not being able to leave the house without hearing Celine Dion's tiger-getting-a-pap-smear yowl are a distant, traumatic memory.

    AP

    "Austin Powers"
    What's a bigger indicator of virginity in a guy than a promise ring or a clerical collar? A Dr. Evil impression.

    New Line

    "The Matrix"
    The "bullet time" scene was parodied so much that, by the time "Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo" got in on the action, seeing Rob Schneider get repeatedly kicked in the face was drained of all its usual joy.
