you can't tell me 

You can't tell me is a way of life. It is when a person will do whatever he or she damn well pleases. If you attempt to tell a person to not do something, not only will they do it on purpose, but they will respond wit hthe phrase,"YOU CAN'T TELL ME"

You can't kill a dead man

"You Can't Kill a Dead Man!" Is a popular martyr used in popular online video games. The Player has a key bound to kill themselves and at the same time say "You Can't Kill a Dead Man!". A Tactic used to piss off the opposing team, so they won't get the point for the kill, although in most games the person using it gets a suicide kill count, deducting a kill from their scores and adding a death.

Invented by the *Ünhi clan in 2003.
*guy 1 shoots at guy 2 almost killing him*

Guy 2: YOU CAN'T KILL A DEAD MAN! *Dies*

you can't get there from here 

A phrase that is stereotypically attributed to people from Maine, usually by people in the lower New England states to feel superior to our Northern neighbors (like we don't talk funny enough). It has to be said with a northern Maine accent: "there" is pronounced "they-ahh" and "here" is pronounced "hee-yahhhh." The "you" is implied and does not need to be said.
Well you can't get there from here.

you can't do that on television 

A show that started out on local TV in Canada on CJOH.
Executives of a station called "The Pinwheel Channel" in the US happened upon it and decided it was just what their station need. Then The Pinwheel Channel became Nickelodeon.
Then they had a hit.
Not only boosted the lulling stations ratings but also gave them their trademark slime scheme. Nick doesn't acknowledge this, perhaps because publicizing it will do no good to them. The slime would fall on someone when they said "I don't know." Water would also fall on someone who said "water."
It ran in the US from 1981-1990. It was such a big hit in the US, it left Canadians scratching their heads. Most Canadian children found the show disgusting and it never had a wide audience in its homeland.
Supposedly was cancelled because the show went through kids like a revolving door on crack and it was a tedious task to send royalty checks to 200+ different children.
Alanis Morissette appeared on about six episodes of the show in 1986, as a minor character.
GUY #1: Moose on You Can't Do That On Television was my first crush.
GUY #2: How 'bout Lisa Ruddy?
GUY #3: I don't know... (Glop...)
GUY #1: I'm so thirsty.
GUY #3: Would you like a glass of water? (Splash)
