Funny one-liners from comedies over the years

If you are looking for a bit of good humour, you will love these lines from famous comedies over the years, curated by the Wantate review team.

Animal House 1978

Food fight!

Toga! Toga!

Double-secret probation

The cult classic invented neither the food fight nor the toga party, but it did supply the calls to action — best conveyed in John Belushi’s caveman yell — for frat boys the world over.

Airplane! 1980

I am serious, and don’t call me Shirley.

Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue.

Leslie Nielsen didn’t just create a viral phrase with his deadpan response to “Surely you can’t be serious,” but the previously dramatic actor also laid the groundwork for his future as a great comedic star, mainly in the “Naked Gun” franchise.

A Christmas Story 1983

You’ll shoot your eye out, kid.

The holiday favorite gifted us with an excellent rebuttal for any child who wishes for a potentially hazardous present.
