I had to beat them to death with their own shoes

Phrase proclaimed after breaking into a candy store at the edge of town, wrestling the Bengal Tiger they have for a guard dog, and beating the shopkeeper and his son to death with their boots.

We had to find 1000 brown M&M's to fill a brandy glass or Ozzy wasn't to go on stage that night!

if i had to pick a dude

This phrase is rather uncommonly used. Males use this as a "no homo" kind of thing when told odd questions like "if you were gay who would you date?".

If I had to pick a dude?

Tuxedo Mask from Sailor Moon

Peter - If you were gay, who would you date?
Henri - If I had to pick a dude.... it would be Charles

Peter - Yo thanks man. I'd date myself too.

You had to be there

"You had to be there" is a phrase that one often uses when someone asks about a situation/joke/piece of time.

Basically, it means that it's hard to actually explain what that situation was like and that the person who is asking had to be a part of the situation to understand.

TLDR; You should have been there

For example, when perhaps two of your friends have an inside joke without you, and you're curious as to what that inside joke means, and they tell you, "You had to be there" (meaning, you had to be around them at the time when the inside joke took place to truly understand it).
