How does tv serials influences verbal comunication between people?do you know any research based on this sub?

Question

people use some specific words, phrases, lines from sit-com, sope-opera and other tv serials when they comunicate with other people(specialy friends)

Answer 1

Its "how do TV serials influence" not "how does TV serials influences."

The subject is "serials" which is plural & requires a plural verb which is "do" not "does."

Same with "influences" in the same sentence.

In the late 60's the phrase "sock it to me" from "Laugh-In" was frequently used.

Most phrases I can think of from TV that have been used are phases only. They don't last very long.

Answer 2

Just some starting points tv shows can generate phrases and expressions that become part of our language. How many times have you said "DOH" when you messed up? Remember when everyone was saying " don't have a cow man" or " aye carumba?" People who watch I love Lucy still sometimes say " lucy you got some splainin to do" when someone messes up.
In the seventies fred sanford's " it's the big one Elizabeth. I'm coming to join you honey!" during times of stress or Steve Martin's " well excUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUSE MMMMMMMEEEEE!!" and fonzie's classic "AAAAAAAYYEEeee" were also huge. think of " what you talkin about willis" in the eighties off of different strokes
For a while "spongeworthy" from Seinfeld was big. If the show is big enough a phrase can become part of the national vernacular. it doesn't mean anything about the dumbing down of our society it's been going on for years. People used to hum the Twilight Zone theme back in the fifties.
