In a Futurama episode, they might have made a reference to this when the robot mafia guy says to Bender "Ho ho, this guy's an ox! He's got oxon-like strength! Hey, he needs a nickname right? Let's call him Clamps."

yea...I found all that awhile ago. there is a movie we are all thinking of maybe from the 80's or 90's that it was said in. I never watched Rocky and Bullwinkle so I know that it not what we are all thinking of.

I'm watching the Professional tonight (out of coincidence oddly enough...though, the movie is too new...the quote is legendary. but i will check anyway...I think Leon may be too cool to say that cliche anyway.

nope...not even in the movie...though leon does some memorable lines..."don't hang around that kid...he looks like a werdu (weirdo)." and the Milk Quote he uses is "no discussion" as she refuses the milk.

I'm going to make a movie with "strong like bull" in it so there will be a movie with that in it!

But, I think it could have come from Rocky and Bullwinkle, with that Russian baddy saying it.

My other thought was Zoolander, but that's too new.

I have used this expression forever - I am pretty certain it's got a Russian accent - at least when I've said it - I've used the accent.

Are you sure it's a movie quote? and not maybe a tagline from a commecial? Though I am drawing a blank on the commercial.

ive always said it with a russian accent as well. Someone else asked me if maybe it was a commercial but I couldn't tell ya. Maybe? *shrug*

Xsas: From what I've found it was used from Rocky and Bullwinkle but that isn't the reference we are all thinking off. It was also used in Theres Something About Mary but that is also not the reference we are all thinking of.

I have a shot! There's a movie called Heavyweights, early 90's, and Ben Stiller plays this crazed out personal trainer guy who trying to shape up the guys in a so called "fat" camp. He's got a little bit of an accent, as well. I don't specifically remember him saying it, but he does get on the guys about eating the right food to become strong.

I posed this question to a few other people, this answer sounds good, but I don't think so, I'm still thinking commercial -- but maybe this will jog your memory.


Makes you strong like bull was said by Uncle Tonoose on the old Danny Thomas sitcom, at least some seasons of which were called "Make Room for Daddy." Uncle T. was played by Hans Conried, who also did some of the voices on "Rocky and Bullwinkle".

Most of y'all are too young to remember Make Room for Daddy, I only remember it from reruns, I don't remember the character but it's possible.

I had 2 suggestions made beyond what has been posted.

One person said it may be from Practical Magic. I don't think so, but the guy is a movie buff.

The other said it was from Red Heat - again, I don't think so.

My thinking is - and me and my buddies have been using this for years to describe certain people "strong like bull... smart like streetcar" - is that it may have come from a skit, maybe SNL or Kids in the Hall.

yea Red Heat was on TV a short while back and I watched it but I missed some parts. The parts I saw wasnt it. I wonder if its from snl...... so many possibilities. Everyones heard it....everyone uses it...but nobody knows where its from. I think aliens implanted it into our brains and it doesn't really exist.

Really, I'd side with either the Danny Thomas sitcom, Rocky IV, or Zorba the Greek... That's the best I can do... And man, I already have a headache from trying to find it.

By the way, why is it that you you think it comes from the 80's/90's? My grandparents and parents seem to know it pretty well... Maybe it comes from farther than that. However, you've been at this longer than me. You surely know better than I. Good luck on this quest.

well...it's very possible that it comes from the Danny Thomas sitcom, I've heard the before. I know for sure its not Rocky IV, I watched it specifically for that. I am not looking for where it originated but from the movie it was used in. I am positive it was used in some movie probably during the 80's or 90's. That is where everyone is remembering it from. Some goddamn forsaken piece of shit movie that I will never figure out. It was probably like "Cant buy me love" or some stupid-ass movie like that too. *whimpers*
Thanks anyway.
