I've fallen, and I can't get up! 

Popular catch phrase in the 1980's which was the result of a popular TV commercial for a medical emergency service that targeted the elderly.

The commercial featured a blue haired, pre-historic woman, dishoveled and lying at the foot of the stairs. She presses her emergency call button that is located on a necklace around her wrinkly old head and shouts:

"I've fallen and I can't get up!"

huband: "Bitch, where's my sandwich?"
wife: "I've fallen, and I can't get up!"
husband: "You didn't answer my goddamn question!"
wife: "I think I broke my hip."
husband: "I'll break your other freakin' hip if I don't get my sandwich now!"

I've fallen and I can't get up 

A really annoying catchphrase from the late 80's/early 90's that originated from a commercial for a paramedical emergency radio for the elderly. During the commercial, and old lady falls off her walker and in the most pathetic tone of voice possible, utters this phrase into the advertised device.

Before everyone and their mom was screaming "I'm Rick James, bitch" they were screaming "I've fallen and I can't get up" in a sad attempt to be funny and witty.

I've fallen and I can''t get up! 

A twist on the well known scenario made popular in the early 90s by a home security system commercial in which an elderly woman falls and is unable to get up. The new television series, Hoarders, gives a whole new meaning to this ubiquitous expression. In honor of the popular series, one may say "I've fallen and I can't get up' when one is swallowed up by garbage and are unable to remove oneself from the overwhelming mass of debris that overwhelms one's home. Can also be found when one has a burning desire to pay tribute to one's pet with shrines of pet hair displayed throughout one's home.

T-dawg: bc she got like swallowed by garbage and she couldnt get up

Me: omg that gives a whole new meaning to 'i've fallen and i can''t get up!'

T-dawg: mb that's where it came from

I’ve fallen and I can’t get it up! 

The more current, commonplace version of the old saying now that folks don’t necessarily need to be able to ambulate well in order to fuck.

I don’t know what happened, I took my Vitamin V and now I’ve fallen and I can’t get it up!

I've fallen and cant get up 

A girl takes a penis from behind while on the ground while giving hand jobs to men on the left and right, while blowing the man in the middle, thrusting her in a downward motion making her look like she cant get up.

I've fallen and cant get up due to all these penises.
