Of all movie genres, comedy is the most relatable; an irreverent, twisted take on reality that is both subtle and impactful, influencing the way we communicate with quirky, fun, and repeatable dialogue. If you need a quick laugh, imitate Borat and compliment someone by saying, “Very nice!” (this might make them cringe…) or tell a shopping mall Santa that he “sits on a throne of lies.” Good comedies have entered pop culture’s lexicon and, therefore, our vernacular—single snippets of unforgettable dialogue. The following are the most quoted lines of all comedy movies.
