"I resemble that remark!" is a classic
comedy line. Anything you have read in recent popular culture containing has stolen from the past.
I myself was introduced to this line by watching
Curly utter it in countless episodes of
The Three Stooges. The joke proceeds like this:
(Snooty Rich Lady): "Murphy, who
are those slovenly creatures at the door?"
(Murphy the butler): "The plumbers, Madam."
(Snooty Rich Lady): "Well, send them to the servant's entrance. We can't allow rifraff in the front door."
(Curly): "
I resemble that remark!"
I suspect, however, that the Three Stooges stole the line themselves from
Amos 'n Andy.
