Don’t forget the Trailers:
“In a world…”
“I’ve got an idea…”
Typical fight movie cliche:
Manager “My fighter says he can beat the crap out of you.”
Opponent:“Is that so? You name the time, the place, etc and I’ll beat the crap out of him, etc”
The show “Police Squad” skewered this cliche with:
Manager “My fighter says he can beat the crap out of you.”
Opponent:“Wow, he must be pretty good !!”
LOL
Sassafras_Kid that is GREAT !! Yes movie trailers have got great cliches.
Here’s a good one “At an experimental lab, the government denied ever existed…”
“I came as soon as I heard”
Who gives a shit?
(That last one was just my response to the cliched line)
Q
I always hope a character will respond with "Well, you might as well jettison all the love I’ll never know about, because what good is it?
Adult to child in bed: “You know your father and me love you more than anything else in the world, don’t you?”
Cue speech about divorce, impending imprisonment, or pesky serial killer roaming round garden
“Give me your badge and gun - you’re SUSPENDED!!”
“I’m hit!!”
“Hey, you guys - wait up!!”
“Rights?! What about the rights of the woman he killed?!”
Honey…I’m home…
They mocked this on MST3K:
Hunky hero: Its’ gonna blow! Its’ gonna blow!
Servo: If the first ten minutes of this movie have been any indication this movie’s gonna blow!
A classic horror movie one: Big boobed blonde who’s turkey is clearly done in a dark house/mansion/hotel, “Anybody there?” Like the killer gonna come out and say, “Damnit, BBBWTCD! How did you know there was a clause in the serial killer constitution that forces us to say ‘I’m a serial killer here to kill you’ if you say ‘Anybody there?’ Curse you, BBBWTCD!”
You watch too much porn.
“I don’t know who you are anymore.”
“I don’t know who I am anymore.”
“Are you okay/all right?” (ALWAYS asked of a person who has just fallen from a great height, been shot multiple times, been beaten up by a gang of thugs, etc.)
Would someone please tell me what’s going on?
Showtime…
“We’ll be back in two and two.” Lame hand gestured, and forced smile included.
Combine this with Lumpy’s “I’ve got an idea…”, and you might get a response on the order of “It’s such a crazy idea, it just might work!”
And how might that idea be broached?
“Hey kids, let’s put on a show!”
“MEDIC!”
Heh. You all have seen the trailer for Comedian, right?
“You talkin’ to me?”
“ would have wanted it that way.”
“Go on without me, i’ll only slow you down.”
