-Also called OMES.
"Oh my eighties sitcom!" is a term meaning "oh my god!"
However, OMES is usually said when something mind-numbingly sweet or heroic happens, derived from eighties' sitcoms which almost always had a happy ending, or good ultimately triumphs over evil.
Can also be used to express sarcasm.
Star Trek: The Next Generation is a good example of OMES, where Picard almost always finds a way to ultimately defeat the bad guy... but that's another story altogether.

Trixie: It was so sweet... Rob asked Ellie out after having a crush on her for three whole weeks!
Delaney: Oh My Eighties Sitcom!
Sammy: And then, at the last minute, Mary Sue managed to save the day!

Why is Jerry always making stupid quips about everything?
He has sitcom syndrome. He's responding to an imaginary audience, not to the people actually present.

Sitcom Show Disease or SSD is a term meaning that you or someone you know is living in a very sitcom like life. Could range from childish comedy to mature insanity
I think Jenson caught the Sitcom Show Disease. Seems everyone around him all have one liners to say.
