We need to form a support group... or better yet, a club.
And every good club needs T-Shirts. And it just so happens I came across these... definitely part of the conspiracy to mock us. Way too coincidental. http://www.cafepress.com/atlasgymwea...32?pid=2529374 edit -- By the way... I know Lord Humungus said something about a Russian Accent, but I keep picturing a Native American saying this line.

Heh, I think I got the answer. I'll give you a hint..
There are two references, one's definite, the other is debatable. 1) Definite: It wasn't a woman, it was Robert Duvall.. Movie: Colors (1988) He noticed Pac-Man (Sean Penn) watching the latinas hard and said " You need to get you one, they'll make you strong, like bull.." Do not confuse this with the OTHER bull reference he used, about to old bull and the young bull on the hill.. 2) Debatable: Depending on the director's cut or not, Denzel Washington used the reference that made the DC's DVD and not the release of "Training Day". The reference was on his ability to please a woman and sire only sons.. But I think the "Blazing Saddles" reference is the closest.. Just someone think a woman said it and it got screwed up..

it is debatable as to whether or not what we remember is a russian accent or a native american accent. Perhaps it was referenced in Colors like it was in There's Something About Mary and French Kiss but I feel really strong about it being a Russian Accent. I really feel exactly what willravel said. When I say it to myself outloud....I ain't ashamed...i say it all the time hoping a synapse in my brain will fire and unlock this deep rooted evil that has penetrated my soul...I say it exactly as described. It's gotta be one of those movies like "Gotcha!" or something. Some small time budget film we've all seen a millions times. Or maybe something like "Cant buy me love" that has that character who shows up and scores all the chicks because hes from a different country. I don't know and sob.....I was just starting to let this fade. It's like a curse. I swear. Just when I start to get passed it a little.... it pops back up. "Drink.... make you strong... like bull."

Has the issue been resolved as of yet?!

Was it a James Bond movie? There are many countries/accents in those. Just a thought.

It's not Moscow on the hudson. I watched it awhile ago thinking it might be. There is a scene where he tries to sell this powder stuff but he says "Give you di#k of death".
Thanks for playing. Quote:

Sorry, nothing helpful to say here. I just think it's really funny with all this info at our fingertips that we can't find the origin of an infamous quote.
PS Just had a thought that may help. I think I may have heard the quote from a Venture Bros episode, not that that would be the origin since its a new show but they make fun of a lot of old cartoons. So maybe the origin was an old cartoon. |

Did anyone figure out where the quote came from? OP, is it possibly Arnald Schwarzenegger?

Charles Bronson? Steinbeck?
I teach the novel, OF MICE AND MEN, and the phrase "strong as a bull" is used. Not the same thing, but this book was written in the 1930s, so perhaps the phrase has been around at least that long.
What about Charles Bronson movies? I was thinking maybe "The Magnificent Seven"? "Dirty Dozen"? "The Great Escape?" Hope this helps! |

I got the urge to research this abit, now that time has passed, and to find more like minds that are still pondering on the origin of this elusive quote.
I've come up with these: snopes.com: Strong Like Bull? Google Answers: Strong, like bull (a good explanation is provided here, but has not been corroborated as of yet) Both articles/questions come around to a semi-plausible answer that television actor Hans Conried originally coined the term in film, though this is still debatable as some recall the phrase being uttered even before the mid-1950s.

There was a TV show that originally ran from 1965-1967 Called " F Troop". It was rerun into the ground during syndication from the 70's all the way through the 90's. In one episode there was a character called "Col. Dimitri Agarnoff" played by Larry Storch the character was Russian and he said to the main character, Sergeant O'Rourke, "Drink this it make you strong like bull" later in the same episode a American Indian character played by the same actor Larry Storch says it again, word for word. Of course that is part of the joke. It was a very funny episode and would have stuck in peoples minds. This would explain why it spans generations and is remembered as being said by a Russian and by an American Indian.

sounds like a line Larry Storch would say. or maybe a line Micky Dolenz in "the Monkees" TV show.
maybe it was a comercial on TV ? or Joe Goldmark, "Strong Like Bull but Sensitive Like Squirrel" - Hmg Records (2001) how many places have you asked this ? the first page of google results sound like you asking this question everywhere, including TFP

strong like bull
in response to where did the phrase "strong like bull" come from- it has been driving me crazy too, but I had always thought the phrase was "strong like moose". When someone mentioned the rocky and bullwinkle show it made perfect sense- Bullwinkle is a moose and the
russian accent would fit because of Boris and Natasha but I'm still not sure. Anyone, anyone? |

Check the (c) MCM---- to be sure, but to know, inherently which production was the most successful in propogating the saying over spans of generations, may always yet be a point of contention, now and forever.

I am 100% certain of the answer to your discussion "the origination of 'strong like bull'".
It is actually from a bugs bunny cartoon but bugs doesn't say it himself. It is someone else in the cartoon. "It makes you big and strong like bull." is the quote |
