What do you think is the cheesiest line of all time in books or movies?

Is it raining? I hadn't noticed.

Awful line in an otherwise great film.

Take your pick from any line in The Cheese Almanac 2006

"What enchanting underclothes you both have." Dr. Frank N. Furter, The Rocky Horror Picture Show

"You had me at hello"

Darh Vader:NOOOOOOO!!!!

That is all that came to mind.

From Shark Attack 3:
Cataline Stone: [sigh] I'm exhausted.
Ben Carpenter: Yeah, me too. But you know I'm really wired. What do you say I... take you home and eat your pussy.

What's even better is when that movie is broadcast it's changed to "Take you home and watch I Love Lucy.

"You'll never get away with this!"

But the cheesiest moment in any film would have to be from the Mighty Duck series. It's like they're down by one goal and it five seconds from the buzzer... :rolleyes:

Han Solo (paraphrased): Uhh...Everything's fine here at the station, we has some minor equipment failure. We're all good... Uh, how are you?

-----------------------------------------------------

You know the one I'm talking about, the scene on the Death Star. Actually, in the case of this cheesy line, I've heard that Harrison Ford had actually forgotten his bit, and totally ad-libbed this. It was so absurd that George Lucas decided to keep the take. Really though, just because it is stupid doesn't make it less of a classic.

Never seen it, but I vote for that.

Just pick any random line from Space Balls and there you go.

"frankly my dear, i don't give an Edam."

/winz :P

"You are not sending me to ze coola!"

The man's a politician now, for heaven's sake.

Click Stand;13197462']Darh Vader:NOOOOOOO!!!!

That is all that came to mind.

I thought Luke said, "NOOOOOOO!!!!" Darth Vader said, "No, Luke. I am your father," which is now cliched in its own right.

End of Episode III.

End of Episode III.

Oh, right. Yes, that was cheesy.

Apparently in the Chinese version, there was some translation trouble so he shouts (in Chinese) "NOT GOOOOOOD!!!!!" I think that's better than just, "No."

That wins the thread, IMO.

Seconded. That made me laugh just imagining that.

I've gotten strange looks from others here in the library now...*growls at them*

Well, normally I'd say the cheese shop sketch, but if you watch it...

Every word uttered by that balding piece of trash John Malkovich, a talentless sack of crap who can't act.

Cheesiest character: Wallace, of Wallace and Gromit fame.

Wallace and Gromit: A Grand Day Out
"Gromit, that's it! Cheese! We'll go somewhere where there's cheese!"
"No cheese, Gromit. Not a bit in the house."
"Everybody knows the moon is made of cheese..."

Wallace and Gromit: The Wrong Trousers
"I do like a bit of gorgonzola."

Wallace and Gromit: A Close Shave
"Get off me cheese! GET OFF!"

Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit
"I'm just crackers about cheese!"


Wallace and Gromit
"I could just fancy some cheese, Gromit. What do you say? Cheddar?"

From Shark Attack 3:
..snip

Boy I MUST be tired! I first read that as Shrek 3. Damn near fell out of my chair (I have never seen it).:p

As for cheesy lines..A Walk to Remember STILL comes to mind.

Jaime to Landon (all serious)-"One condition..don't fall in love with me"
Yeah..it's a love story between those two characters..duuuhh. (I still cringe every time I get to that part)

Oh, right. Yes, that was cheesy.

He also shouts DO NOT WANT, which is the source of said meme.

This comes from the fact that there's no real word for 'No' exactly in Chinese, it's more negation.

You'd say 'bu', so 'bu hao' is not good, and 'bu yao' is not want.

You can say 'bu' stand alone but it really means 'not', and more simply a negative indicator as opposed to 'no'.

Which would explain it; the person who made this translation apparently didn't translate it idiomatically, so rather than render the same sentiment in English they simply used the literal translation DO NOT WANT, which of course sounds rather ridiculous when used in a language that has a different way of expressing a negative sentiment. This, of course, is why literal translation tends not to be a good idea...

If I had been translating I'd have preferred using 'bu ke neng', effectively translated as 'impossible', for the anguished wail, which I suppose is what it was, I'd probably just go for 'aiya' though, which effectively means nothing but works as a recognized anguished wail.

Having said that, I'd rather not have had to use it at all - it completed the ruination of the entire thing.

If I could have re-shot it myself, I'd have gone for silence, head facing downwards and clenched fists to express the anger.

Maybe the first instance of the Deep Breathing?

Maybe a quiet....'bugger'.

In terms of delivery and timing it has to be "See you round the Galaxy" in the fourth Star Trek movie.

It's a book, or a movie but...

"The american prevailing is a cliche that only happens in your Hollywood movies. Mr. Kennedy, you entertain me. To show my appreciation, I will help you awaken from your world of cliches."

*transforms into a huge tentacled crab monster*

- Osmund Saddler, Resident Evil 4.

Naaa you are all wrong it has to be the clasci Sting line fron Dune.

'All I see is an Atradies I want to kill'

Ddelivered with such style and passion(mmmphhbwaaahaha), that is has surly cemented Stings place amongst the greatest ever actors?

From the Truman Show:

Carrey: "Well in case I don't see ya ... ... good afternoon good evening and good night!"

- Osmund Saddler, Resident Evil 4.

And of course the fact that the American does in fact prevail just adds to it.

To brie or not to brie

End of Episode III.

Oh, right. Yes, that was cheesy.
"And then I threw the fucking Senate at him..."

Cheesiest character: Wallace, of Wallace and Gromit fame.
*applauds*

Ooh, the new W&G program should be out relatively soon - I reckon it'll probably be on British TV around Xmas.

"Do you know what happens to a toad that get struck by lightening?"

You should read White Nights, by Dostoevsky. Same line, but a far more realistic story.

Oh, right. Yes, that was cheesy.

Haha, that reminds me of this (http://winterson.com/2005/06/episode-iii-backstroke-of-west.html).

As for a cheezy line, can't think of one that hasn't already been mentioned atm.

Didn't anyone here see [I]Lethal Weapon 3[/I?

"...I need ammo!--the good stuff."

Hey, I've lost my phone number - can I have yours?

(That worked for me once, so on reflection, it can't be that bad. But it is cheesy).

Here's another one ( I hope every translation of the Iliad isn't like this): (describing the Chimera) "It breathed flames of fire!"

Other then that it's a good book if you like action. It goes on for pages describing battle scenes.

"I'm here to chew bubblegum and kick ass. And I'm all out of bubblegum."
-They Live

Now, son of Jor-El, KNEEL BEFORE ZOD!!!

Army of Darkness
Ash: "You're in charge of just two things: Jack and shit, and Jack just left."

"Self destruct activated."

I mean why does everyone have to design their bases to be so easily destroyed and where do they find people who are willing to work inside a gigantic bomb?

And of course the fact that the American does in fact prevail just adds to it.

You know, I've figured something out. Every time the evil character in anything gives a speech about how powerful and amazing he is the the hero/heroine, it always ends up that he/she will get their ass kicked after a prolonged battle, in which they appear to be winning in the beginning. What's worse, they usually tell said main character that they will do something to the person that person loves, thus angering the main character to a state of pure rage, giving them the final strength to finally beat them, almost without breaking a sweat there after.

See: All spiderman movies..

Jaws... "You're gonna need a bigger boat"

i didn't read all the post so if someone said this i am sorry...but it stands saying again...

"I know Kung Fu." -The Matrix...

Holy crap that is a bad line... Even the way he says it is lame.
