Futurama. I don't what I would do if I couldn't tell people to bite my shiny metal ass.

Star Trek: TNG
“Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra”
Wouldn't change much honestly.
Yeah, I was going to cheat and go with “the entire Star Trek franchise”
And… I pretty much already speak entirely in Star Trek quotes.

Arrested development! Not sure it would change my daily interactions.
I've made a huge mistake
"The Good Place" - you bet your fudging life!
Holy shirt balls!
Shaka when the walls fell
That's how you speak isn't it, through metaphor
This broke my brain when I watched again, because I constantly use star trek, wars, Simpsons, Seinfeld, and so many other references to explain how I'm feeling.
Unfortunately no one else watches them.
It's ok, we understand here. This is your safe space. If we're going to be damned, let's be damned for what we really are.
Pulp Fiction. I can still say useful everyday phrases like "Well, let's not start sucking each other's dicks quite yet."
I'm pretty sure nobody around me understands why I always say little KANGaroo so strangely.
And no, I don't often have reasons to say that, but that doesn't stop me from making my own.
Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia, it would be an easy transition
BE GONE FROM ME

Community. Won't chang my interactions that much.
South Park - not much would change since it would be only a slight increase in the number of f bombs I use.
I take "Yes, Minister" together with it's follow-up "Yes, Prime Minister". It's old, yes, and British, but I've yet to see a series with more memorable quotes.

EDIT: changing my answer to Taskmaster, if only so I can still say "all the information's on the task"
Also: stopcockstopcock stop. Cock. Stopcock
Very handy and widely applicable.
Though you’d lose the equally useful “pop pop”.

The Simpsons.
It’s been on so long that you’d never notice you’re quoting the show. That and they seem to be good at predicting the future.
Smithers ... You ... Are ... Really ... Good ... At... Turning me on.
You should probably ignore that

Schitt's Creek. Half my online conversations are already gifs from the show.
Trailer park boys. Way she goes boys
Ren and Stimpy.
No sir, I don't like it.
Local station news program. I suspect that would cover the most broadly applicable things that you'll need to deal with. Aside from local place names you'll still be able to talk about national and international news, finance/taxes, medical situations, weather, sports and entertainment, food... You'd have decades worth of back catalog to access from. You'd probably be wanting for specifics on some super niche hobbies, but it's hard to think of much that you'd be missing entirely from your available phrases.
Venture Brothers, probably. I already quote it too much. Hot dolphin!
what up my glipglops
ol Rick n morty should cover all my wubalubadub dub.
Anything can be made from these quotes.
"30 Rock" No interaction I've ever had would be different...
Letterkenny, give your balls a tug!
The Office, basically it wouldn’t change anything because I already speak in mostly deep cut quotes and references from the show.
Mean Girls. And I want my pink shirt back!
That'd be so fetch
probably like general hospital since it has so many episodes you would likely be able to speak anything.
Deadwood would make my life interesting
The Simpsons or similar.
It's been running since forever. If you're going to constrain my vocabulary, I'd rather have it as large as possible.
The Simpsons are a perfectly cromulent way to enbiggen your vocabulary.
My son is also named Bort
Delores!
HAIL ZORP
Get organized and then engage with Zorp. What else is there to say?
Star wars. It wouldn't change much
My household quotes Adventure Time quite a bit. Oh my glob!
