We've all watched a sitcom where some bad actor will put on a goofy face, and over-act when they say the phrase "You remember what happened the LAST time..." And chances are if you have a sense of humor, you want to throw up when they say it. My buddy and I recently had a great conversation about phrases that we all hate, whether it's something people say to you face to face, or you hear it on the news or TV or something like that. Here are a few of mine to get the ball rolling:
-The whole "Main Street/Wall Street" thing nowadays. No matter who says it, they all say it like they think they're the motherfucker who was clever enough to come up with it. It feels like the Huey Long-inspired version of "I'm Rick James, bitch!" at this point.
-"Looks like I entered this conversation at the right moment," or whatever people say when they hear a half-sentence which could be interpreted as sexual in any way. Up yours, we didn't invite you to the conversation anyway.
What are some of your shudder-inducing lines?

"That's what she said."
Can be hilarious when used tactfully, but it's been so overhyped nowadays that people will use it any time someone uses the word "but" or "hole."

Basically any movie I saw as a kid and it starred some other kid, they always give children terrible dialogue.

Yeah, this one annoys me too.
However, I'm sorry Greg, but I do enjoy using the "...part of this conversation" line lol. Although my preferred phrasing is, "looks like I picked the wrong time to start paying attention to this conversation."

I can't watch any embarrassing moment in a movie. It just aches me to watch.

People that say "we was" instead of "we were".
"It takes one to know one."
And any variation of "your mother".

I despise when people say, "Vice-a Versa". It's Vice-Versa damn it, I don't care how Dictionary.com says it's pronounced.
Also, when people use "Light years" as a measurement of time has always bugged me. "Roman technology was light years ahead of its time." Grrrrr.

"If I never (something) again, it'll be too soon." Making my ears barf but for one letter too many.
Also, people imitating cheering crowds. Makes me want to rip the douche in question's throat out by any means.

I hate having someone explain a funny video or funny part of a movie to me. I can't make eye contact or pay attention and just walk away.

I find it annoying whenever somebody tries to emulate Yakov Smirnoff and tells a Russian reversal joke. Most of the time when a person does it the joke makes no sense at all, and the few times it does make sense it is almost never funny.

-The word "overrated" because most people who call something that usually come off as disliking the subject in question just because (they think) it is overrated.
-Any rambling about the concept of opinions. This usually happens anytime someone disagrees about something at all or because someone can't accept the fact that not everyone will agree them on EVERY-FUCKING-THING.
-A lot of internet memes. I find the humor in a lot of them to be nonexistent.

I hate in any movie when any character uses some kind of vehicle or item and then exclaims, "I gotta get me one of these!" Of course everyone in the theater always laughs.

Actually that can be quite entertaining, kind of like how Kimmell had that "unnecessary censorship" bit.
I also find it humorous because to spam the expression is to actually make fun of people who use it too often.

When people say "That's what she said" when an opening for that joke wasn't even made
Or when they call their own "That's what she said"

The phrase "a whole nother". Another is one word. You can't just split that shit up and throw another word in between two syllables. "Another whole" and "a whole other" are the only acceptable ways to express this thought.

There is this old 40 year old man at work who thinks he knows what he is talking about. And he talks a lot. About everything.
But he really gets on my nerves when he tries to talk about the PS3 and calls it a P3. That just drives me up the wall.

There's a dude at the local game store I frequent that does that. PS1, 2, and 3 are P1, 2, and 3 to him. And it's even worse, because he knows his shit and is a pretty cool dude.

And people think I'm weird for calling the first one "the PS-X." So what does he call the PSP?

Whenever I grow a beard, some fuck always has to mention Grizzly Adams. Now first off, most of the people who say it are in their teens or 20's, so I highly fucking doubt they were even aware of the show except for the reference in Happy Gilmore. This applies to a lot of movies, especially if it's popular.
Also, if you're sick in any way...someone always asks if you have swine flu. SHUT. THE. FUCK. UP!
