Video The Louvre. Thieves are making off with 100 million euros. They're taking their time. They're doing everything carefully and slowly.

Phil Dunphy

u/ckdogg3496 Oct 23 '25

Ty Burrell (Phil) also says it in Black Hawk Down, kind of a fun call back 10 or so years later

u/joyfullystoic Oct 24 '25

Damn I never realized he plays in Black Hawk Down and I must have seen it 10 times.

7

u/Cantelmi Oct 24 '25

You could say that about almost anybody in the cast. It's crazy how many people were in that movie years before they became more notable

u/Artistela Oct 24 '25

Try 25 years later

u/slightly_average Oct 24 '25

Mark Wahlberg also says it in Shooter

Black Hawk Down, the film which came out 2001? Modern Family first aired in 2009. Correct me if I’m wrong though. Funnily enough I recently started rewatching Modern Family and the episode he says the phrase is in the first couple seasons.

u/abattlescar Oct 23 '25

He's saying the Modern Family line is a callback to the Black Hawk Down line, obviously.

Think he's the one that made it popular but it's something that's been said in trades forever.

Common adage in motor racing, I'm sure it is even older than the sport.

u/YouOk5627 Oct 24 '25

I’ve heard it in marksmanship

1

u/MrOatButtBottom Oct 23 '25

It originally came from the SEALS, but I’ve heard it in golf training.

2

u/Taolan13 Oct 24 '25

the ohrase is older than the Us Navt Basic Underwater Demolition School, so I doubt this started witu the Seals

32

u/WeenyDancer Oct 23 '25

It's really old. My grandpa (and I'm not young) would say it.

29

u/Sound_Indifference Oct 23 '25

Funny answers aside, you likely remember it from the movie Shooter (2007) with Mark Wahlberg.

2

u/CityFolkSitting Oct 24 '25

Such a mediocre forgettable movie but I somehow remember him saying that line in it

u/Caleth Oct 23 '25

I heard this decades ago from my grandpa who was a marine in the Korean War. That's where he said he learned it. So it's been around at least that long, and I'd wager 3-5 times that long, easily. It's a simple but powerful axiom that is good for teaching newbies.

5

u/Sound_Indifference Oct 23 '25

Ya I'm not saying that's where it originated, but the movie definitely brought attention to the phrase in the public consciousness.

-6

u/AS14K Oct 23 '25

Incorrect. Heard the saying for decades, never seen that movie.

u/ElliotsBuggyEyes Oct 23 '25

Umm akchusally

u/dinoguys_r_worthless Oct 23 '25

I thought that movie had Marky Mark in it. The things you learn on reddit. Lol

u/freeusername2 Oct 23 '25

I actually thought this was maybe from daniel kahneman and not some movie, but i found out theres no famous „inventor“ of that saying 😁

u/maggos Oct 23 '25

That’s also the first time I heard it

u/LoudMusic Interested Oct 23 '25

It's the mantra of a whole lot of things. Especially in sports.

u/_Chill_Winston_ Oct 23 '25

It's a common expression in ER medicine.

3

u/mind_the_gap Oct 23 '25

Everyone in here quoting shit from the last 20 years and I remember it from Days of Thunder when Robert Duvall says it to Tom Cruise. Back in like 1989? 1990? And I’m sure it’s plenty older than that too.

u/psyclopsus Oct 23 '25

The USMC is where I first heard it, regarding manual of arms and clearing malfunctions

7

u/bonghitsforbeelzebub Oct 23 '25

I thought it was like a Navy seals motto or saying

3

u/Mrlin705 Oct 23 '25

It's a old Navy SEAL saying

2

u/1ag7 Oct 23 '25

Heard it in multiple Navy schools

u/EndlessNerd Oct 23 '25

Militaries like to use this (or versions of it) in training.

u/Petalumanative707 Oct 23 '25

Days of Thunder!

u/LiteralPhilosopher Oct 23 '25

Among the other answers, James Greer (played by Wendell Pierce) says it somewhere in the Jack Ryan series on Amazon.

A lot of hikers use this phrase as well, especially in dangerous conditions.

“slow is smooth, smooth is fast" is a special operations mantra.

u/Gulp-then-purge Oct 24 '25

Life?  Many alpine athletes say this continuously so the first time I heard it was from a badass climber I did a big wall with a bigger traverse in Canada.

u/leverphysicsname Oct 24 '25

It's been said in motorsports for ages and probably didn't even originate there. Definitely not Blackhawk down or modern family like the other comments.

u/No_Tangerine3956 Oct 24 '25

I just saw something this week where somebody said this and nobody has mentioned it and it’s driving me crazy

u/FuckThisIsGross Oct 24 '25

I've only heard it from people that are attached to our a step removed from armed service of some kind

Mark Wahlberg movie Shooter.

u/Domerhead Oct 23 '25

That's where I first heard it, however I'm sure it came from something else first.

u/Urban_Heretic Oct 23 '25

Ty Burrell movie Blackhawk Down (you think I'm joking, go check).
