Elly May's Bra - On the sitcom THE
BEVERLY HILLBILLIES/CBS/1962-71 Elly May Clampett (Donna Douglas), a
naive, tomboy is given a bra but thinks it is a weapon. When she
shows it to her equally naive backwoods uncle Jed (Buddy Ebsen) he
says "Well, I'll be doggone!, a store-bought, lace-trimmed,
double-barreled slingshot."
TRIVIA NOTE: Some more bra quotes
from other TV series:
Newsradio [Bill] "Is it cold in her or are you wearing an
anatomically correct bra?"
thirtysomething [Hope] "I'm getting that feeling, Ellyn, that
giggly, pre-teen shopping for a training bra feeling."
8 Simple Rules...[Paul] "Okay, Cupcake, I think you
missed the word "under" in underwear because I can see your bra
and that slingshot your wearing under your pants."
Are You Being Served? [Mr. Humphries] "Oh, I hope not.
If she burns her bra, we'll have to call out the London Fire
Brigade."
Roswell [Maria] "It's an aqua bra. You know, all the
fun of implants without the invasive surgery part."
She Spies [D.D. Cummings] Do you guys think I should
wear a strapless bra or an underwire bra with this dress? Because
the dress is tight, you know? On the one hand I should have
support because I don't want things looking droopy, but on the
other hand the shoulders are bared so I don't want to show straps.
Wait a minute! What am I talking about? Me, in a bra?
