Terrible Pick-Up Lines | comment |
A pick-up line is a flirtatious one-line conversation starter, typically used to indicate romantic interest. Well-written pick-up lines are flirty, but not creepy. Delivered well, they can be a humorous way to introduce yourself while making your interests clear. Poorly written pick-up lines are none of the above. They may be overly sexual or crude. They may lack nuance or humor. Or it may be an otherwise decent line, but delivered in an off-putting way. Some people have a knack for saying the right thing to make a good impression on someone who attracts their interest. Some people... don't. The really inept ones spout worn-out cliches, crude come-ons, and regrettable remarks that are more likely to result in a disdainful eye-roll, a quick retreat (possibly with a blatantly lame excuse), or even a Megaton Punch than a romantic encounter. This is almost always Played for Laughs, so it's a Comedy Trope. Expect any pickup line involving a pun to generate a corresponding Lame Pun Reaction. See also Compliment Backfire, if an otherwise decent pick-up line is delivered poorly. No Real Life Examples, Please! This is not for criticizing people's pick-up lines. Examples have been sorted in alphabetical order. |

On Cheers, Sam Malone relentlessly hits on women with terrible pickup lines. While Rebecca was disgusted by Sam using them on her, Diane was more amused by the dumb women who fell for Sam's pick-up lines... often to immediately be swooned by Sam, who was only using them to prove she was no better. | |

A recurring theme in Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal. A few examples: A man goes around using a stupid pun as a pickup line, because it once worked. It turns out the one woman it worked on intentionally acted like she was extremely aroused, just to see what he'd do in response. Ironically, long after ruining his life, she realises what the pun meant and thinks it's really funny. "Pickup line 2": Jumping straight into Black Comedy (which is, strangely enough, the most common way to parody pickup lines in this comic): In "Songbirds," the pickup linenote Hey girl, did you know that songbirds don't have penises? builds up into an argument that because it is so terrible, that implies the person saying it must be incredible in bed. |

The hero of Loading Artist in this strip is using Innocent Innuendos for picking up girls which apparently doesn't get him anywhere. In another strip he resorts to If I Can't Have You… after delivering another pathetic pick-up line. | |

Shingen from Ikemen Sengoku seems to make it his mission to use the cheesiest pickup lines imaginable on the female main character. Much to the MC's dismay/exasperation, he's good-looking and charming enough that his pickup lines still work on her even though she knows how ridiculous they are. | |

Disco Elysium allows The Detective to hit on Miss Oranje Disco Dancer during the introduction with a moderately hard Suggestion check. Fail it, and the Detective drunkenly blurts out a line so terrible it hurts you to say it. Luckily, the target takes it in stride. |

In the "Kung Food" chapter of Scarlet Lady, Chat Noir and Marinette are in an elevator, and Marinette asks where it goes. Chat Noir immediately replies "We could go places". Unlike in canon (where Ladybug gives a cold reply), Marinette blushes and babbles. The tagline implies Chat Noir did not expect such a response. | |

During the penultimate volume of Full Metal Panic!, in a seeming bout of temporary insanity, Sousuke abruptly propositions Mao as they're preparing for the final battle with a pickup line too embarrassing even for Kurz to try.◊ It turns out he was just trying to comfort her over Kurz's apparent death and thus said what he thought Kurz might in similar circumstances. | |
