New York City?! Get a rope
There was a commercial in the 70s for Pace Picante sauce that featured cowboys discussing the virtues of a sauce made in San Antonio. It’s a call-and-response kind of thing– when they criticize the cook for bringing a picante sauce made in “New York City?!”, a moustachioed man in the background says, “Get a rope”. Ever since this commercial had a brief revival in the mid 1990s, Jamie and I (and about a zillion other people) have quoted this following any mention of the NYC with “New York City?!… Get a rope”.
I searched and searched, and the only video I could find also has a news report (after the commercial) about an earthquake a long time ago. Maybe someone else has the original?

Instant karma’s gonna get you
A number of years ago, while visiting New York City (New York City?!…Get a rope) me, Matt, and our friends Erica and Julia saw a guy that had Instant Karma handwritten in marker on the back of his jacket. Matt pointed at it, and said, “It’s gonna get you, Jame”. The line is from the John Lennon song, Instant Karma.
