This may be a silly post, but I'm just curious! I think for me, one is from the show Airline! featuring Southwest. In one show, a lady is waiting to board her flight from Chicago Midway (MDW) to Tampa (TPA). She missed her flight earlier & when she was in line to board (this is the only part of the line I remember off the top of my head; I have to watch it again), she said, "We know our names. We know our names. If they would've called my name, I would've heeaarrd it." It's hard for me to type how she drags out (I guess you could say) the word "heard," but it just sounds funny!

She was talking about how the customer service agent(s) (CSA) called for her over the PA, but she said they lied. Once, when I was waiting to board a flight (Southwest, of course!) for DAL, the CSA paged for two passengers who hadn't shown up yet.

What is the funniest or strangest line you've heard in a movie or TV show?

"Play the game , play the game , play the game , play the game , play the game !!!"

One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest

Get's me everytime..........I got a weird sense of humour.

I thought of another one, but it's from a commercial. It's one for Progressive Insurance; a man comes in & Flo is explaining how he can pick his price, etc., I believe. When he says, "I feel so empowered!" Flo says, "Power to the people!" It cracks me up, so I say it to my friends. I wonder what my psychologist would do if I said it. When I was waiting to board my flight to St. Louis the Thursday before last, I saw that commercial! I had to smile. It's funny!
Thanks for this!

UGGGGG For some reason that commercial annoys me. I guess it's because I have seen it so many times.

We have a commercial here trying to get you to write your senator to vote against something having to do with unions. Anyway the commercial cracks me up because it is this clean cut guy talking to his boss about what kind of raise he wants and then in comes these 2 thugs and the one that talks says no he wants a 2% raise, guaranteed smoking breaks, and stuff like that but when he says he wants triple over time for something he only holds up 2 fingers. That part cracks me up every time.

Haha, I like the one where Flo is the tour guide, and she's like "and we're walkin', and we're walkin'"

I love Flo!

That said, one of my favorite lines is from a horror movie (Child's Play 2), said by Chucky, the doll possessed by a dead serial killer's soul to young Alex, the boy whose body he wants to inhabit:

"You act like you've never seen a dead body before!"

Well, it's funny in the movie...Chucky and Alex had a history, so it wasn't Alex's first dead body, you see.

Maybe you had to have been there.

Posting what immediately came to mind..

The movie is "See No Evil, Hear No Evil" with Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder.
A comedy where they inadvertently "witness" a murder. Richard Pryor's character is blind and Gene Wilder's character is deaf...
(relevance: I am hearing impaired)
They complement one another, Richard Pryor being Gene Wilder's "ears" and Gene Wilder being Richard Pryor's "eyes".

So, during an interrogation, after being arrested as the murder suspects then discovering they were simply witnesses, the policeman is getting increasingly frustrated trying to talk to these two (and they are purposefully frustrating him). He keeps pacing around behind Gene Wilder and asking him questions at the same time. Gene Wilder doesn't even know he is speaking because he can't see him. Finally the policeman comes around and sits down next to Gene Wilder and, in exasperation, repeats the question he's been asking repeatedly: "Was there or wasn't there a woman present????!!!!!"

To which Gene Wilder responds, with a look of utter amazement on his face:
"You're kidding!!!!!! Fuzzy Wuzzy was a WOMAN??!!??!"

Old movie, and one of my all-time favorites. Two wonderful actors and characters that meant something to me personally.

Moonstruck,

Everyone is sitting around the kitchen table, including Nicolas Cage and Cher. The camera pans to the grandfather and he says: "Someone tell a joke".

The conversation, the pauses, the theme of the movie and this particular statement always makes me chuckle out loud. It's one of those times where you just feel empathy and humor at the same moment.

I love this movie and this line the most! No matter all the times I've watched this movie it still makes me lol.

Joe Pesci in "Goodfellas" I'll bleep out the bad words

Joe: "I'm funny how? I mean funny like a clown? I amuse you? I make you laugh? I'm here here to bleeping amuse you? How the bleep am I funny? What is so bleeping funny about me? Tell me whats so funny about me?"

LOL that cracks me up cause Joe Pesci is funny to watch anyway but when he acts mad in a movie he's downright hilarious

Also love the opening scene of "Four Weddings and a Funeral" where Hugh Grant's character jumps out of bed and runs through the house shouting (substitute an "F" for the "D") "Duck!" "Duck!!!" "DUCK!!!!!"

There is a local furniture store here that has opened 2 more stores locally and they have this guy on there Johnny something or other. Anyway his big thing is when he gets excited he twirls the lower part of his arm. I think that is strange and he also doesn't give the address right for one of the stores. He says it is on Highway 7B and it is actually on Highway 71B. Go figure.

Another Ghostbusters favorite:
"Where do those stairs go"?
"They go up".

And then one that is adult oriented - stop reading now if easily offended -

From the movie Fight Club
The character Marla after apparently phenomenal sex, "Wow, I haven't been f***ed like that since grade school".

I may be dating myself but I don't care at this point. LOL The stupidest line I've ever heard was in "Love Story." "Love means never having to say you're sorry." BS!!!! Wonder what idiot thought of that one??

Some of the funniest lines I've heard came from the TV show, "World's Wildest Police Videos."

--"These guys were caught carrying nine pounds of illegal Christmas cheer; and spent the next three holiday seasons BEHIND BARS!"

--"Miami, Florida: Home of Disney World, the Miami Dolphins, and today A HIGH SPEED PURSUIT!"

Most of the lines in the movie "Drop Dead Gorgeous" crack me up.

Thanks for this!
