BS: Corny lines that we love

Subject: Corny lines that we love From: Jack the Sailor Date: 12 Dec 01 - 10:57 AM Or love to hate. 'Spaw would Nominate "God bless us, every one." For reasons stated in the post by that name. I would nominate "Every time a bell rings, an angel gets his wings." from "It's a Wonderful Life" I don't think it is possible to get any cornier than that. But Mudcatters are resourceful. I expect to be surprized. What is the most corny line...anywhere, and why?

Subject: RE: BS: Corny lines that we love From: Wesley S Date: 12 Dec 01 - 11:25 AM By the way Roger - Do you know "Rick's" LAST name ?? My favorite line { also from It's A Wonderful Life } is "George Bailey - The richest man in town " It gets me every time. |

Subject: RE: BS: Corny lines that we love From: Kim C Date: 12 Dec 01 - 01:38 PM Wes, that's my fave too. :-) My nominations: It's made of peeeeeeeepullllllllll!!!!!!!!! He vas..... my boyfriend! Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou, Romeo? It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. Goodness how delicious, eatin goober peas. Round up the usual suspects. These go to eleven. He was just a hundred yards from Mary Anne. All the lyrics to Sleigh Ride. It's much better as an instrumental. |

Subject: RE: BS: Corny lines that we love From: GUEST,Bobert Date: 12 Dec 01 - 01:59 PM "The only time I'm sober is when your gone" from a 70's rock group, Hearts Field "If you don't start drinking, I'm going to leave" by Bad Boy George Thorgood Same sentiments from two different vantage points... |

Subject: RE: BS: Corny lines that we love From: Morticia Date: 12 Dec 01 - 02:12 PM I always loved..." Shucks, I was just doing my duty, ma'am" ( usually as blood is running down some part of the heroes body), or "But before I kill you, let me tell you......" ( usually giving the hero time to foil his dastardly plan).My all time favourite has to be " Frankly, my damn, I don't give a dear" or something like that. |

Subject: RE: BS: Corny lines that we love From: Lady P. At Work Date: 12 Dec 01 - 02:18 PM "What will become of me and the boys?" from Enemy of the people by Ibsen. I'd always thought this kind of line was a characature of victorian melodrama, till I had to go and see this play for school work! "Tomorrow is another day!" Da dah da dah.......... ( this girdle's kiling me...) "Oh, there's no place like home, there's no place like home!" All the words to "Have yourself a merry little christmas" especially Judy Garland's version in Meet me in St. Louis. That's total kleenex mode. TTFN M'Lady P. |

Subject: RE: BS: Corny lines that we love From: Jack the Sailor Date: 12 Dec 01 - 02:27 PM I have to admit Kim, I'm picturing and earnest looking young soprano trying to sing Sleighride and look like she means it........ disturbing. "Our cheeks are nice and rosey and comfy cosy.....are we" |

Subject: RE: BS: Corny lines that we love From: catspaw49 Date: 12 Dec 01 - 02:45 PM Anyone see Gunga Din? It's not a "line" exactly, but when Sam Jaffe as Gunga Din blows that feeble little toot on the bugle as he's dying, I just bust a gut laughing. The movie stinks too, but tune in for the last 15 minutes if you need a laugh. I'd also like to nominate ANY and EVERY line spoken by Glen Campbell in True Grit. Bad writing and even worse acting. Hey Kim and Jack, you just need better words to "Sleigh Ride." X-RATED "SLEIGH RIDE"
I feel my pecker tingling, balls are jingling too.
Get it up, get it up, get it up, let's go.
I need a new position for sperm worm fishin' with you. There ya' go............ Spaw |

Subject: Corny lines that we love From: Jack the Sailor Date: 12 Dec 01 - 03:33 PM Spaw Hmmmmm Very surreal..... No less corny but very disturbing. With absolutely NO redeeming features. It takes a lot of talent to write such a thing. Is it your creation? |

Subject: RE: BS: Corny lines that we love From: Jack the Sailor Date: 12 Dec 01 - 03:37 PM Speaking of corny, every time I see the thread entitled Virginnia Lags, I want to write Virginnia Mono-Lags |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Corny lines that we love From: Kim C Date: 12 Dec 01 - 03:45 PM (groan) Pat you just really have no shame. ;-) I digress a bit........ Mister and I watched part of the Three Tenors Christmas on PBS the other night (it's fundraising time again - Three Mo' Tenors is better but that's another thread). Seeing Luciano Pavarotti try to sing Sleigh Ride in English is a real treat, let's just say. And Mister eloquently pointed out that Placido Domingo looks like Waylon Jennings. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Corny lines that we love From: catspaw49 Date: 12 Dec 01 - 03:50 PM Now if he could just sing like Waylon...... No Jack, I didn't write that one. Someone sent it to me and somewhere on the net there's a RealJukebox audio of it. Spaw |

Subject: RE: BS: Corny lines that we love From: Kim C Date: 12 Dec 01 - 04:14 PM What about that scene in The Patriot where Mel says to Joely, "Can I sit here?" and she says... "It's a free country." I also liked in Last of the Mohicans when uppity Duncan says to Hawkeye, "Just how is it that you are going west?" And Hawkeye says... "Face north and turn left." |

Shirley Temple in "The Little Princess" "Mafeking is relieved!, Mafeking is relieved!" John Wayne to a little Vietnamese boy in "The Green Berets." "Your what this war is all about."

Subject: RE: BS: Corny lines that we love From: Big Mick Date: 13 Dec 01 - 09:20 AM I am a student of body language. When I watch something, in addition to listening to the lines, I am watching the complete delivery from the soles to the hair. For that reason, I loved the movie "Harlem Nights". Now I know it got some heat, and I am well aware of why. But when you watch the interaction between Redd Foxx, Richard Pryor, Eddie Murphy, and all the others it is hilarious. I still end up on the floor when I watch the scene around the craps table. Foxx is playing a nearly blind croupier without his glasses. He keeps calling the number wrong, and a chorus of variants of "Put on your glasses, you old blind motherfucker". After this happens 3 or 4 times, Foxx delivers this line, and if you watch him do it, it will slay you. I am sitting here laughing thinking about it............heeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheehee |

Mick, I just love "Harlem Nights".....There are some of the funniest scenes in that movie........The earlier crap table scene after the kid (young Quick) shoots the toothless guy on the way out the door Pryor says to him, "So you shot him huh...Want some ice cream?"....That entire opening scene is a riot.

Subject: RE: BS: Corny lines that we love From: GUEST,Flightwing Date: 16 Dec 01 - 02:42 AM How about great lines--some of which may also be in the corny listings--the witty and moving stuff that opened worlds for you? One of my favorites: The Grapes of Wrath, when they ask John Carradine what he did to tick off the cops: "I talked back." And in Spartacus, when Peter Ustinov asks Charles Laughton to go with him, "To make sure I don't misuse the money?" Laughton responds, "Don't be ridiculous. I'm a Senator." |

Subject: RE: BS: Corny lines that we love From: Little Hawk Date: 16 Dec 01 - 05:57 PM Here's a political one... "WE ARE AT THE CROSSROADS!" Yeah. Uh-huh. That f**king crossroads again, for the 10 millionth time. :-) Watch for it next election...any election. And a piece of classic Americana: "We kicked butt!!!" (optional variant: "kicked ass"...equally moronic souding in either case.) Business lines: "He/she dropped the ball" "Take the ball and run with it" "hot to trot" "bullshit"(information that isn't true or accurate) "Money talks, bullshit walks" and a host of others, I can't remember at the moment...most of them are either sexual, scatological, or have to do with sports...or all three of those simultaneously! These expressions are evocative of the crass and wretched social values presently running this world. God help us all. Corny? Yes. Love 'em? No. - LH |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Corny lines that we love From: Little Hawk Date: 16 Dec 01 - 06:38 PM I also nominate any common expression with the word "balls" in it. There are plenty of them. They all have to do with toughness (presumably). The frequency of their use is generally in an inverse ratio to the IQ and/or general sensitivity of the user. - LH |

Then, immediately after Santa walks out of the scene, in comes Uncle Jim or the next-door neighbor or whomever... and everyone gasps and/or looks up at the sky and/or wonders aloud who that other guy was: could there really be a Santa Claus? (b) A mysterious stranger comes to town, some miraculous event occurs, and then the stranger can't be found... and everyone gasps and/or looks up at the sky and/or wonders aloud who that person was: could (s)he really be an angel? *yawn* Could the writers really be at such a loss to think of anything original??? |
