| Am I Right? | comment |
A Stock Phrase used by the group comedian, usually after some kind of wry observation. This is also commonly used in fiction by a bad stand-up comedian, who can't resist highlighting his terrible jokes. The dialogue equivalent of facing the camera and waggling your eyebrows. Usually used after an intentionally lame line. A longer version is "Am I right, or am I right?" A version commonly used on the internet is "amirite" or "mirite". A similar line is "I know, right?" used to react to someone else's observation. The Japanese Language has the word "ne", which pretty much means the same thing. Using it at the end of an English sentence still counts as Gratuitous Japanese, ne? The fact that this is a natural and frequently occurring feature of the language doesn't mean, however, that it can't be overdone, as you can simply expand it to, "Nee nee? So desu nee?" Ad nauseam. French has a similar equivalent, n'est-ce pas? In Canadian English, the famous Verbal Tic "eh?", in Real Life, is most often used for this purpose, eh? (For the record, Canadian French has an equivalent, hein?) Contrast Don't Explain the Joke. |

In Deadly Games (There Is no Such Thing as Notability, amirite?) Peter's catchphrase is "Am I right, or am I right?" Sometimes he'll add "Don't get me right if I'm not right." At one point, it gets stolen by the Big Bad, who takes out an Easter Egg villain while finishing a quip with a very smug "Am I right, or am. I. Right." (As the villain of the week wasn't part of the main game, Jackal doesn't see it as one of 'his' and The Only One Allowed to Defeat You led him to save the heroes.) | |

StarDestroyer.net repurposed the profanity filter to change the use of a one-word form of this, "Amirite?", to "I'm a smarmy asshole". Apparently one notoriously caustic member turned it into their catchphrase, and eventually the moderators stopped finding it funny. | |

In Burn Notice, Sam and Mike are watching out for Fi, with the code that if she has two buttons undone on her blouse, something's wrong. Sam says "That's a first. Too many buttons down on a woman's blouse is a bad thing. Come on, am I right?" Doesn't quite break the tension like he'd hoped. Also, - Season 2, Episode: Sins of Omission, Victor says, "Nothing like a near-death experience to get the juices flowing, am I right or am I right?" |
