25 Movie Lines You Must Never Quote

Annoying film phrases that aren't funny anymore...

BY Dan Goodswen Jun 9th 2009 15:15PMFILED UNDER: Features

 

"Do you feel lucky, punk?" Clint Eastwood Dirty Harry (1971)

Movie Context: Clint has shot his Magnum six times… or was it five…?

Who’s Most Likely To Quote It: The wannabe pool shark who just challenged you to a game.

Fitting Comeback: Break your cue over his forehead. Insert cue where sun doesn’t shine. Leave, because you’re actually pretty rubbish at pool.
 

 


"I love lamp" Steve Carrell Anchorman (2004)

Movie Context: With an IQ of 48, Brick Tamland is trying to show he can love too, with hilarious results.

Who’s Most Likely To Quote It: That guy at work that’s seen Anchorman too many times.

Fitting Comeback: “If you love it so much, then eat it” – then literally force him to eat lamp.

 

Next: Monty Python And The Holy Grail, Aliens, Swingers

Where is those anoying quotes from The Dark Knight? Why so serious and lets put a smile on that face. It just sounds stupid coming out of the mouth of a 13-year old who thinks the dark knight is the best film evarz!

I think you'll find show me the money is still a good one and is usually shouted by agents and whatnot after closing a deal.
At least arnie quotes will never go out of fashion, right? Wrong!

As much as I love Star Wars... what about the million it spawned:

"Luke, I am your father." (not even an accurate quote!)

"Use the force."

and on and on

10: ashley.russell says

you can always, always quote Office Space

11: Padman says

Ah, I think "Game over, man!" should always be allowed for the pure fact that it allows you to pick out people who have watched Aliens properly/enough times to appreciate and know the characters outside of Ripley. I'm lucky in having older brothers, meaning that my friends and I had been calling dibs on who wanted to be Hicks, Hudson, Frost, Drake, Apone etc as far back as primary school games.

The actual line is, 'The question is do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk!'
The line is always mis-quoted but I expected better tut tut tut! haha

What about, "He's not the Messiah, he's a very naughty boy!" from Life of Brian? I say that way too oft- I mean other people do, yeah...

Can't believe you put Anchorman, Total Film you and me are done professionally.

That was my clever way of saying that celebrity outburst quotes have a shelf life of less than a week.

But really your just jealous of the Anchorman guy.

23: DanzierRebirth says

I thought this was right on the money. There are more quotes that should never be said, but its ten in the morning and I can't be arsed to think about them.

And as for anchorman being funny?
In my opinion people who find Anchorman funny, also find Borat, Ali G and Bruno funny and I have one conclusion about them

Whilst I've got to agree with most, even now me and my friends can't stop quoting Anchorman. It IS the most quotable film ever and I don't believe it will ever get old.

25: Jkaltz11 says

This isn't an annoying quote or a commonly uttered one but it is the best xD.
" The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was to convince the world he didn't exist and likle that p**f... hes gone! Usual Suspects :D
