Mr. Mom : 220…221 Whatever It takes

220…221 Whatever It takes

To this day, I use that line to describe a situation that I know nothing about.

Re: 220…221 Whatever It takes

gaffer-16: That is a good line. I had forgotten it.

Re: 220…221 Whatever It takes

"To this day, I use that line to describe a situation that I know nothing about."

me too!

i also like to make an exit with the line, "if you can't find me, i'll be at the gym . . . or the gun club."

Re: 220…221 Whatever It takes

I love that line and use it often.

And don't forget about the often overlooked Young and the Restless dream sequence when Caroline shoots Jack and Ron asks "What did you use? A 38?", to which she replies, "38, 39; whatever it took!"

One of my other favorite lines is "Kenny! Don't paint your sister!"

Re: 220…221 Whatever It takes

i use it too...

i also use "you want some chili" ... no matter what i am cooking.

What about that time I found you naked with that bowl of Jell-O?

Re: 220…221 Whatever It takes

Hahhahah.... I thought I was the only one, but I use that line a lot too! :)

Re: 220…221 Whatever It takes

I probably use it once a month

Re: 220…221 Whatever It takes

i use it all the time!

Re: 220…221 Whatever It takes

I use this line myself! People sometimes look at me like I've lost my mind, and then I have to explain, but it makes them curious about the movie all the same!!

Re: 220…221 Whatever It takes

Haha!! I know what you mean. To this day, whenever I see my dad getting ready to do some housework, even if it's non-electrical, I'll say, "You gonna use 220?" and he'll go "220, 221. Whatever it takes." LOL!!!

Re: 220…221 Whatever It takes

count me in, I use this line all the time

Re: 220…221 Whatever It takes

I also liked the one where she shot Jack and she was asked what she used a 38 and she said 38 39 whatever it took. LOL

Re: 220…221 Whatever It takes

It's referring to electricity and power outlets. Homes are either wired at 110 volts or 220 volts. Therefore, saying "yeah, 220, 221, whatever it takes" shows that Jack knows nothing about "redoing the whole wing".

Re: 220…221 Whatever It takes

NobodysDeadman are you being sarcastic?

Re: 220…221 Whatever It takes

Sarcastic? How can that be taken as sarcasm? That's exactly what the joke means. Why is it that people that watch comedies have no idea about humor? And no, that remark that I just made was not sarcastic.

Re: 220…221 Whatever It takes

That line has really entered the vernacular. I've heard people use it who have no idea where it originated. (Not that that's a bad thing.)

We are doomed.

Re: 220…221 Whatever It takes

I get the joke, but can anyone explain the original question that sets up the joke? "Are you going to do the whole thing in 220?" What kind of question is that? Here in America I have never heard of anyone doing a whole house or a whole portion of a house in 220. 220 is for the washer/dryer or some other specific appliance, not a whole portion of a home. Right?

Re: 220…221 Whatever It takes

Thank you. You give me a reason to watch it again.

Re: 220…221 Whatever It takes

I also like the scene when he gets shot. What did you use a 38? 38 39 whatever it takes lol

Re: 220…221 Whatever It takes

When people reply to posts do they bother reading previous replies?!

I think they don't.

Re: 220…221 Whatever It takes

I say it as a joke too. The strange thing is that Jack is supposed to be an engineer and no engineer would ever say something like that.

Re: 220…221 Whatever It takes

I'm another one who says the line all the time! Once or twice I've used it online and had somebody pick up on it, which is always fun.

And you know, jup06, that never occurred to me! Yeah, Jack really should know better, shouldn't he? Lol.

People said love was blind, but what they meant was that love blinded them.

Re: 220…221 Whatever It takes

Same here, and it makes me chuckle every time I use it. I even got my friends using it too.

Re: 220…221 Whatever It takes

I still use this line 33 years later. I just alter the numbers to match whatever topic I am talking about. Funny, funny line.


My memory foam pillow says it can't remember my face. I can tell its lying.

Re: 220…221 Whatever It takes

So does my father, he loves this movie because it's reminded him of the few times he was laid off in the past. He'll say that line at least a few times per year still. Lol
