From cheesy one-liners that would never secure a date with even the most handsome men to convoluted speeches that would give the kids from Dawson’s Creek a run for their money, there are so many dumb lines from movies. One online forum member reached out to peers to ask what they thought were the worst line from movies, and we have compiled 20 of the dumbest ones.
“Do You Know What Happens to a Toad When It’s Struck by Lightning? The Same Thing That Happens to Everything Else.?” —Storm, From X-Men, Played by Halle Berry
Fans need clarification on what Storm meant by this, and so do we. This is a memorable quote but not necessarily for the right reasons. Who else is thinking of a toad being hit by lightning?
“Pete: I don’t believe in ghosts. Miranda: Neither do I, but they believe in me” — Dr. Pete Graha and Dr. Miranda Grey, From Gothika, played by Robert Downey Jr. and Halle Berry
It seems that Halle Berry has had a lot of dodgy lines in her career, as one fan experienced with this line “I audibly groaned out loud to that one. SO BAD.” The remainder of the movie left moviegoers frowning; unfortunately, the dialogue did not improve.
“Somehow Palpatine returned”— Poe Dameron, From The Rise of Skywalker, played by Oscar Isaac
This line led to many gasps of disbelief from hardcore Star Wars fans. The new Star Wars movies have failed to please many fans, and many are overcritical, so that this criticism could be taken with a pinch of salt.
“They fly now?” “They fly now!”—Said several characters in The Rise of Skywalker
Ardent Star Wars fans quickly shared memes of this clip that gave moviegoers an unintentional laugh at a film that was somewhat of a flop in general.
“Too Bad YOU Will Die” —Sindel From Mortal Kombat: Annihilation by Musseta Vander
Fans say the mixture of poor writing and awful acting makes this line one of the most awkward in film history. When you adapt a top-rated game into a film you need to get it right but the screenplay for this movie failed to hit the mark.
“Mrs. Jones: Plan on murdering me in my sleep?” Elliot Moore: What? No!—Mrs. Jones and Elliot Moore From The Happening, played by Betty Buckley and Mark Wahlberg
Although chilling, this was a line that came out of nowhere and did not fit with the tone of the movie.
“Pain don’t hurt”—James Dalton From Road House, played by Patrick Swayze
A common shout-out for the dumbest movie line by moviegoers who couldn’t quite believe that Dalton could say such a thing.
“Oh hai mark!”—Johnny, From The Room, played by Tommy Wiseau
You all know the meme!
“A talking gorilla! I feel the money-hairs on the back of my neck going woo woo woo”—Eddie Ventro, From Congo, played by Pantolian
With a talking Gorilla in a movie, there was bound to be a dumb line or ten!
“It’s turkey time. Gobble, gobble”—Ricki, From Gigli, played by Jennifer Lopez
This line was so cringe-inducing it won a Screenplay Razzie award!
“He Has Wargasms”—Taylor Kitsch, From Savages, played by Blake Lively
We are not sure how Lively kept a straight face while saying these lines as fans sure couldn’t stop laughing when they heard it.
“Captain! The ice is freezing faster than it’s melting!” Captain Archibald Witwicky, From Transformers, played by William Morgan Sheppard
We are still trying to work this one out!
“Why did you do it, why did you kill Cyrus”? “Because I like doing things like that”!—Luther, From The Warriors, Played by David Patrick Kelly
One person said “That second line…the timing of it just seems so…wrong..”
“Love is never having to say you’re sorry.”—Jenny Cavilleri, From Love Story, Played by Ali McGraw
While this line seems sweet we are not quite sure of the message that it sends as surely if you love someone and you hurt them then you should say sorry.
“I Love The Power Glove…It’s So Bad”—Lucas Barton, From The Wizard, played by Jackey Vinson
This 1989 movie is good in a bad way and brings plenty of laughs where they were not intended to be. This line epitomizes the zany nature of the movie and is one that many movie fans remember.
“I Just Think He’s Kinda Hot”—Captain Ferris, Man of Steel, played by Sam Witwer
The line didn’t hit well with fans as it seemed out of place and it’s intention to add a little comedy to the scene did not quite hit.
