quote red-handed

When someone comes out with a witty comment or funny line which they have taken from a film or television show. The embarassment comes when they are caught out, and someone reveals to the rest of the group that what was just said was not their own wittiness or quick thinking.

Getting "quote red-handed" is especially embarrasing if the show or film being quoted is an embarassing one.
