You tell em  

The phrase "You tell em" is one of many sarcastic remarks which can be used to abruptly end a conversation. If you do not feel like responding to a certain person or your laughing at a complete idiot/moron/goon throwing out a "You tell em" will shut them up or induce a very interesting response.
Complete Idiot with glasses- "Actually Mr. Peeeeuuuurrrrd, I ate 7 apples for breakfast, not 6."

A moron is walking in the hallway talking to his friend who is even more of a goon.

You- Point and say the famous catchphrase "You tell em" Then walk away.

...and tell 'em Pat Summerall sent you 

You can indeed say dat to da staff at da local True Value Hardware store, but good luck on getting any discounts or other "preferential perks" as a result.
Perhaps da famous radio-ad phrase, "...and tell 'em Pat Summerall sent you" might have been more recognizable "way back when" during da time when everyone's favorite deep-and-rich-tone-voiced Irish sportscaster was making those ads, but in more-modern times, da Cotter & Co. stores' mostly-from-da-newer-generation employees will likely just give you puzzled looks if you jokingly spout said remark when you walk in da door. :P
