[Humour] Best single line in Comedy

WATFORD zero · 2024-12-28T20:23:04+0000

I know it's been done before, but it's Xmas (again) and I've just turned on the TV to hear

"Don't tell them Pike"

For me, the second best line in comedy after

"I am playing all the right notes, just not necessarily in the right order"

Your best single line in comedy ?

'Nice and cool, you know what I mean'

Both of those were my choices before I read your post ….an age thing? Though I guess you are much older than me

"Didn't you kill my brother?"
<"Must have been me then">

I met Alexei (Sayle) in central London a couple of years ago and had a chat. I finished
by asking him that line. He laughed. I don't think he'd been asked it before see.

Two words - “four candles” (or fork handles if you prefer)

‘Trust the process’

“Yes you did, you invaded Poland.”

But honestly any number from Fawlty Towers.

"The identity of the official whose alleged responsibility for this hypothetical oversight has been the subject of recent discussion is not shrouded in quite such impenetrable obscurity as certain previous disclosures may have led you to assume, but, not to put too fine a point on it, the individual in question is, it may surprise you to learn, one whom your present interlocutor is in the habit of defining by means of the perpendicular pronoun."

Got to be Yes Minister but thanks for going for one of the more succinct ones :laugh:

If it's opened up to soliloquys (which it really should)

Hello Bob, I'd offer you a, beer but I've only got six.

Ha, missed both my legs!

Agree with "notes/order"- Eric Morecambe to Andrew Preview - the world's most famous orchestra conductor at the time. Didn't he take it well!

I think what I like with a number of these mentioned above is that they can be used (sometimes with a little adjustment) in real conversations e.g. at a shop till when entering my PIN.

Also used by Peterson to Lister in Red Dwarf “Infinity Welcomes Careful Drivers” but maybe that was just the novel?
