Lame Comeback: Difference between revisions

'''Sam''': Oh, like there aren't any pictures of ''you'' and a callgirl.<br />

'''Mallory''': No. There aren't any pictures of me and a callgirl.<br />

* Also on ''[[The West Wing]]'':

* In ''[[Portal 2 (Video Game)|Portal 2]]'', during the [[Final Boss]] fight, if you let Rick the Adventure Sphere talk long enough, he will eventually ask if you have a "[[Pre-Mortem One-Liner|Cool Line]]" prepared for when you kill {{spoiler|Wheatley}}. After some unsuccessful attempts to think one up himself, he will try to [[Invoked Trope|invoke]] one by asking Chell to get {{spoiler|Wheatley}} to say "You two have been a thorn in my side for long enough!", reminding you to do so as he is plugged in. Once all three cores are plugged in and the final part of the fight starts up, {{spoiler|Wheatley}}'s dialogue will have now changed slightly to include Rick's setup line word-for-word. Rick then delivers his "[[Pre-Mortem One-Liner|Cool Line]]". It's... a little underwhelming.

{{quote| '''Rick''': "Yeah? Well this thorn... is about to take you down. Man, that sounded a whole lot better in my head."}}

{{quote| '''Desmond''':''(stereotypical Italian accent)'' Ey, what's-a-matter you Altair?<br />

'''Rebecca''': That's racist!<br />

'''Ivy:''' I love your face when it's ugly. Which is all the time. }}

* In ''[[Goblins (Webcomic)|Goblins]]'', Minmax is notoriously bad at witty banter.

''[[Beat]]''<br />

'''Minmax:''' Heh. Burn. }}
