-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.

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.

So he and I were making dad jokes constantly near her and she didn't care for consistent use of puns. We were a walking sitcom.
