Shows you love, lines that make you cringe
I was just thinking about all the shows I have on DVD, and that even after multiple viewings there are just still some lines of dialogue that absolutely make me cringe. I was thinking that everyone could post one or two lines from a show they love, but I would like people to limit it to one or two lines tops, and why they picked that line. In my opinion that's more fun to read than just a long list of lines with no context whatsoever. To keep people from reading spoilers how about we list the show and the season the line is from and then spoiler the line itself and your explanation.
Here's mine. Buffy Season 2.

Maybe he knows his shit as you say, but in the context of the episode, and the way he said it, it has just always bothered me.

Stomach: "Hellloooooooooo"
and this one is more of a plot point than a line but...
George: Apparently the glue in the wedding invitations was a....toxic.

I liked the pretzel one to, but it was the one that stuck in my head... I do agree with the "Helloooo" one

I agree. Not a bad line, but they try and force it once an episode in situations where it makes no sense.

Xander has a few lines on Buffy that I'm not crazy about. Buffy too...usually when I feel they are pushing too hard to turn the grammar around. The only one I can think of is Oz saying "This is all making the kind of sense that's...not."
Bugs me.
