Subject: Best/favorite one-liners...

Written By: Slater on 02/11/06 at 11:12 pm

...from TV/movies or everyday life? A few that stick in my head:

"Funnier than a clown on fire"

"Tougher than woodpecker lips"

And when I was in the military, one fellow from Oklahoma (who was possessed of a weird sense of humor) said to me once: "Well, we like you, Paul, but you sh** too close to the house". Didn't have a comeback for that one.

"Faster OR than a machine gun on speed" e.g. you were like a machine gun on speed!

"So fast it took the stripes of a zebra," self-explanatory

Another non-speed related one,

"Thicker than the cranium of the man in the White house"  e.g. this wall is thicker than the cranium of the man in the white house.

"Higher than a hippie in space"


In fact I heard them from my own mouth - pretty creative, aren't they?

One that I regularly use about a co worker who does nothing all day........

He is about as useful as an ashtray on a motorbike.

In Terms of Endearment, Jack Nicholson said a line that I sometimes use when I don't want to do something ... "I'd rather stick needles in my eyes"

I think I heard this one from my older sister when I was a kid

"Colder than a witches tit in a brass bra"

No idea why it has to be a witches tit  :-\\  :D

if we went sitting down he wouldn't have to worry about it.

from the funniest movie of all time, annie hall:

"What's with all these awards? They're always giving out awards. Best Fascist Dictator: Adolf Hitler. "

and when someone does a bad parking job:

Don't worry. We can walk to the curb from here.

and:

"They did not take me in the Army. I was, um, interestingly enough, I was, I was 4-P. Yes. In the, in the event of war, I'm a hostage."

yes! and the one about never having a latency period. i use that all the time. it's all so good!

;D  LOL

I made this one up after seeing a movie in which an evil dictator executed warriors by tying them up and pushing them down a long
(like a hundred feet) razor sharp curved knife.  I have heard it used since.

Sliding down the razor blade of life  (ouch)

I used to work with this guy who, whenever he had a busy night, would say that he was "busier than a one-legged man in an ass-kicking contest." I always thought that was funny.

Great insults from Blackadder:

He's thicker than a whale omelet.
He's thicker than the big print version of the complete works of Dickens.

From Red Dwarf:
Ace: That outfit is sharper than a page of Oscar Wilde witticisms that's been rolled to a point,
dipped in lemon juice and poked in someone's eye!
Cat: Now THAT's sharp!
