A One-liner laugh....
Just a minute...I need a smile here.
I know you’re gonna ask me, What the heck is a One-liner laugh? And I’m so glad you asked!
Whenever you watch a TV show or a movie, there’s always that tagline someone says that seems to stick with you. You might not always realize it at the time, but later on when there’s a perfect situation, that tagline seems to fit right in there.
Here’s a few examples of taglines I’m referring to. See if you know where any of them come from.
“Lucy, I’m home. And you got some ‘esplainin to do!” (written how it’s said, mis-spelling and all)
“Gentlemen, we have lift off.”
“Eh, what’s up doc?”
“How you doin?”
“I’ll be back.”
“Cowabunga dude”
“Ya gotta ask yourself. Are ya feelin lucky, punk? Are ya?”
“You’re killin me smalls.”
“You broke my yo-yo, yes you did.”
“You can’t handle the truth.”
“I feel a need, the need for speed.”( in a Military jet)
“Akuna mata-ta”
This is just a tiny list of some one-liners that may or may not have stuck with you over the years. If you know where they’re from, Kudos to you! If you don’t, no worries. Everyone has different taste in movies and TV, so maybe you’ve got a few of your own. Ever use a one-liner and got a laugh? Yeah, it’s not easy. But if the timing is right, it’ll bust the room into stitches!
No, no, not like that. Like THIS! lol
Yeah, that’s better! Maybe try a good, clean one-liner this week. Look for a time it would fit, and throw it in the conversation. It’ll be funny on it’s own, but even more so if the other person knows where it’s from. And SHARE the SMILES!
Well, I did recognize most of the one-liners. I'm not sure if that's because I'm old, or in the same loop as you, or if it is because I spent my formative years in North America. Where I live now, the UK, they also have some sayings that I think are bizarre, but I've gotten used to them. I do remember when I first lived here and we were watching a horse race on TV and the announcer said that the jockey had fallen "on the floor"! I thought, on the floor? What building are they in?? As it turns out, people use "the floor! interchangeably to mean the the floor in a building and the floor (as in the ground). Weird, but now I'm used to it. Which just goes to show how adaptable humans are!
