Stripes doesn't seem as funny to younger people because a lot of the lines in it became part of the lexicon and just seem like normal speech now. Like if someone says something threatening to you and you respond with 'ooooooooohhh' or if you say 'we're going to have/do some serious _______,' that's just how people talk now, but those things were never said before Srtipes.

Bill Murray was really good for that. Another one he has is when he said in Ghostbusters 'this chick is toast.' No one had ever said something was 'toast' before, but people have used it to refer to anything after that.

ETA: oh, and MY BIG MAN HERE IS GOING TO DO IT ALL FOR US FOR FOUR HUNDRED THIRTEEN DOLLARS AND 58 CENTS!!!
