Things that not only are not funny, but if they ever were funny they haven't been so in quite some time.
1...”then the terrorists have won.” This one is rare as we can examine it and tell exactly when and how long it was funny. It was funny for one week a month after September 11th, 2001.
2..."What are you smokin’and can you get me some?" This is said any time someone can't keep up with a new idea.
3...”like (something) on crack!”- See #2
4...”like (something) on acid!”- See #2
5...”Hot enough for ya?”- A perennial passive aggressive conversation starter and killer all in one.
6..."I could tell you, but I’d have to kill you.” People still say this as if they've just made it up. Grant said this to Lincoln, for Christ's sake.
7...The sound of a toilet flushing. This is a "never was".
8...Cartoon characters with one big eye and one small eye. Not just Bill the Cat, all of them. If you draw characters like this, stop it.
9...DIAF!- means "Die in a fire", and it's used on the internet on message boards whenever you encounter someone who doesn't like the same TV shows you like, among other reasons.
10...The sound of a needle scratching its way off of a record. (See all NBC comedy promos, 1987-present)
11...Babies with animated mouths talking with adult voices. This has made a recent reemergence, sadly. It doesn't look any more pleasant or convincing that it did in Look Who's Talking 3 in 1999, although you can bet it costs a hundred thousand dollars more a minute to do it.
12...Old ladies on motorcycles,dressed as Hells Angels. A Madison Avenue staple.
