Binged all 8 seasons of That 70s Show in 2 weeks and now I talk like Kelso

My girlfriend threatened to leave me after I called the pizza delivery guy a 'dumbass' in Eric Forman's exact voice, has anyone else's vocabulary got completely hijacked by a show before?

Oh boy, I have definitely been there. After I binged The Office for the third time, I couldn't help but do that Jim Halpert look straight into the camera whenever something awkward happened at parent-teacher conferences. The only cure I found is to pick a show with a totally different speech pattern and watch it for a few days, something like a nature documentary or a British period drama where everyone talks proper. You have to reprogram your brain on purpose, otherwise Kelso will live in there rent free. But honestly, the pizza delivery guy has probably heard way worse, so I wouldn't lose sleep over it.

Actually it was only 8 seasons of That 70s Show, not that you mentioned the wrong number but I just finished rewatching it myself and it's definitely 8 seasons. But yeah, I get what you mean about the vocabulary thing. I watched Peaky Blinders last month and kept calling people "proper" and "by order of the Peaky Blinders" for like two weeks straight. My buddy still brings up the time I told my cat she was "not a fucking civilian" during dinner.

@richard_young80 right, the Peaky Blinders thing is real, my brother couldn't stop saying "fookin' hell" for a month after watching it. Kelso's voice is infectious but at least you didn't start calling everyone "Mila Kunis" like my friend did.
