Here's the cheesiest line ever, actually from the television show CSI. To setup the scene, a body is found in a pool at a black-tie party held in a mansion. One of the cops picks up a piece of evidence from the ground, looks at it intensely, then turns to the camera and says:

"Come for the cocktail wieners... stay for the interrogation!"

That came to mind immediately.

As much as I love this silly movie, it had a fair share of cheesiness!

The Player's Club

*During a cat fight, one stripper kicks the other in the crotch and the following dialog ensues:

Stripper 1 (The Kickee) - "Ain't no balls there b!tch!"
Stripper 2 (The Kicker) - "Coulda fooled me!"

*After the kicker wipes the floor with the kickee we hear:

"It's B!tches like you tha make it hard for women like me!"

And the tag line for the whole movie:

"Make the money...don't let the money make you!"

Geesh!
Amusingly enough, not only was this line written by Buffy's Joss Wheden, but he explained what happened in an interview:

JW: I have one line left in that movie. Actually, there are a couple of lines left in that are out of context and make no sense, or are delivered so badly, so terribly... There's one line that's left the way I wrote it.

O: Which is?

JW: "'It's me.' 'Prove it.' 'You're a dick.'" Hey, it got a laugh.

O: It's funny that the only lines I really remember from that movie are that one and Storm's toad comment.

JW: Okay, which was also mine, and that's the interesting thing. Everybody remembers that as the worst line ever written, but the thing about that is, it was supposed to be delivered as completely offhand. [Adopts casual, bored tone.] "You know what happens when a toad gets hit by lightning?" Then, after he gets electrocuted, "Ahhh, pretty much the same thing that happens to anything else." But Halle Berry said it like she was Desdemona. [Strident, ringing voice.] "The same thing that happens to everything eeelse!" That's the thing that makes you go crazy. At least "You're a dick" got delivered right.

The interview:

Ah-nold in "Total Recall" after running the guy through with the drill:

"Screw you!"

Ah-nold, drunk, in "Conan the Destroyer":

"Lot on your knife!"

Julie Andrews in "The Sound of Music":

"Oh, Captain..please love your children."

Joan Allen in "Searching for Bobby Fisher":

"He's not afraid of losing. He's afraid of losing your love!"



Well, that's enough cheese for now....

How about the episode at the Little People's Convention. The opening segment has Grissom, after realizing the hanging wasn't suicide, saying "Well, looks like we have ourselves a little murder"

Several people have hit Starship Troopers , but I haven't seen my absolute favorite line yet, the line that, upon seeing it in the previews, positively forced me to go see the movie:

"The bugs set a trap for us, sir!"

"Don't cry, Shopgirl."

From You've Got Mail. The entire movie, I was thinking to myself, "Please, I hope neither of the characters ever refer to each other in person by their screennames..."
me too, i HATE that line!

also the speech that tom cruise says in jerry maguire right before she cut him off with "you had me at hello" it makes me cringe every time! it starts with "we live in a synical, synical world..." argh! i hate it! (and it doesn't even fit into the scene) i can't even watch it it's so cheezy!

oh, and i forgot the line that's in my sig. it's from chris rock. cant remember the title, but anthony hopkins is in it. a scene where they are showing him some spy technology or something and, although i cant quite remember, it looks like it uses cd-rom or something. they are trying to explain how it works and he rather impatiently says "but does it play dvds?!" it'sdelivered so badly and is so stupid it made me laugh every time!

This one was posted about 19 months ago, but nevertheless, I agree with Centurion that it's not a bad cheesy line. I could totally see it being cheesy, but I think it was executed alright.

Maybe he was referring to the remake with Jack Nicklaus the golfer.


Okay, I thought of one. In Jurassic Park III:

Erik: Be careful with that. T-Rex. It scares some of the smaller ones away but attracts one really big one with the fin.
Dr. Grant: This is T-Rex pee?
[Eric nods yes.]
Dr. Grant: How'd you get it?
Erik: You don't wanna know.

It's all in the execution, and it's soo cheesy in the movie. The movie's got a bunch of cheesy lines actually, but I like it still.

Pretty much any line uttered by Keanu Reeves in Point Break gets my vote. That movie is the unintentionally funny movie that gets the most laughs out of me.

"You're breaking your own rules Bodie!!"

I thought the whole Spiderman movie was pure Velveeta, but this exchange took the cheese-cake! (See, I can be cheesy too...)

Green Goblin: "You're pathetically predictable, like a moth to the flame. What about my generous proposal? Are you in or are you out?"
Spiderman: "It's you who's out, Gobbie. Out of your mind!"

Echh! Friggin' horrible!

Do you guys realize, most of the cheesy line that you guys posted are directly from the TV trailers or the theatrical trailers that got played over and over again weeks before it actually got released.
