…movie lines that are meant to be serious but end up sounding unintentionally funny due to the poor delivery.
I recently re-watched “The Horror of Party Beach” and got a good laugh (as did Mike and the bots) at how Hank tried to reassure Elaine near the end about her father’s condition, but the delivery made it sound more like he was bored rather than concerned.
“I just saw your father and he’s been burned badly, but he’ll be fine.” There are several other examples. What are some of the group’s favorites?
One word: TORCHA!
You?
Sorry Jay, stupid phone only loaded 50 replies. Didn’t see yours.

Hobgoblins: “I go ALL THE WAY on the FIRST DATE!”.
I don’t guess it was meant to be all that serious, but the delivery was so bad and over the top, I think it was funny for the wrong reason.

Cupcake’s cheesy fake southern accent made all her lines pretty ridiculous in “Riding With Death”.

Not a biggie. I just couldn’t resist the juvenile urge to have fun with the “I can’t imagine” part. Ha! Open a can of Planters and tell Mr. Peanut to put it on my tab. — Jay

And how about –
Paul’s complete and total lack of any reaction whatsoever during the epic Scary Mask scene at the beginning of Moon Beast.
(Think of it as a wordless line reading.)

I have to agree with the completely bored reading of “This is absolutely fascinating.” I laugh every time I hear that line. I also like Yuri’s line a few minutes earlier, “Not to MENtion the person responsible for it’s discovery WOULD BE FAMOUS” while slipping into the Frito Bandito accent. The narrator’s line in The Beast of Yucca Flats, “Nothing bothers some people, not even flying saucers” also gives me a chuckle as does the narrator’s comments about Martin and Barney’s relationship in The Creeping Terror, and “Subject Homo-cidal” from It Lives By Night.
