'You Look Like Sh*t': The Megacut (VIDEO)

"You look like sh*t." Words you don't often hear in our polite modern society, with its manners and its pleasant euphemisms. But in the world of the Hollywood script, with so much dialogue in need of the gritty, snappy punch-up, people throw around "you look like shit" like it's an everyday greeting. (Hollywood fun fact: if your movie stars Bruce Willis, you are contractually obligated to tell him he looks like shit.) Without further ado, we present to you the authoritative "you look like sh*t" movie megacut.

"You look like a bucket of sh**" is fresh if it is preceded by:
"Sire, you look like the pi$$boy."

Agree!

This may be in first place, but the phrase that became (to my ears) more prevalent is/was the use of a shocked person (in fictional shows or reality tv, and reality) is "Oh....My...God/Gosh." This fad took off during "Friends" when the character of Janice (who liked Chandler) would say it all the time.

Reality: The most often used sentence in American homes over the last fifty years is:

- "Change the channel"

The most critical item in the American home for over a century, and the sentence that follows its absence is:

- "We're out of toilet paper!"

Neither of these main sentences have made it into any film I've seen, making our film writers unaware of the most obvious behavioral traits of our culture. Are TV shows and toilet paper the essential forces of our civilization? Maybe I got this all wrong, please enlighten me!

"Change the channel" or a paraphrase thereof is the last line in the movie THE TRUMAN SHOW...

There is so much forced dialogue about nonsensical subjects/topics being written for movies today, avoiding what is truly vital and positively interesting, one is left to wonder how we arrived at this addicted-to-boredom stage of our civilization. I do not include animation films, where imaginative and serious and humorous topics are abundant. But these action-movie writers/films are so dominant at the box office, it's as if we must have some form of destruction and fear-based-non-think activity to hold most of us captive. At a time in human history when almost 2 billion go to sleep every night not knowing where their next meal is coming from, it seems it is a time to make films that offer positive solutions or at least move our ideas to address the emergency issues of our times. Instead we've opted to use simplistic overwhelming force formulas to solve our problems and to explain our existence. It's not a time for one-liners, it's a time for dialogue that is Shakespearean in length that can actually make us enjoy the act of thinking and solving problems, for what was rotten in Denmark has become acceptable way beyond Hollywood!

At least we've gotten past the "have her bathed & brought to me" era.

That began with John Cleese in "Cheers," talking about Rhea Perlman. He said "Have her scrubbed and brought to my tent." A great line, imitated about 8,000 times afterward.

5th try:

"I'm getting too old for this s**t".

[Burgess Penguin]

Yeah, that one's, um, gotten old, too.

But the best cliche used in almost every movie:

"We got company."

[ltague]

Very fun montage; however, Bruce Willis will never, ever look like "s..t"!

"I GOT to get ME one of THESE"

[plzchuteme]

My vote is for: "Get off of me!" It is used at any time there is some unwanted physical contact which rarely involves someone actually being "on" someone. Grab someone by the wrist, "Get off of me!" Crab someone by his tie, "Get off of me!" Corner someone in an elevator, "Get off of me!" What ever happen to, "Let go of me, or leave me alone?"

And the line appeared in Boardwalk Empire last night!

[Jack Cox]

04:47 PM on 11/15/2010

Yes it did, I immediately said, most overused line in a script.

[Burgess Penguin]

11:17 AM on 11/16/2010

Other than that, though, Boardwalk Empire may be the best thing on TV.

I write screenplays. There's one phrase I refuse to include in anything I write because it's the most pervasive cliche in movies, television, plays, soaps, commercials... you name it. Several scenes may be written in service to getting one character to ask another "What are YOU doing here?!''

My other pet peeve? "Things will never be the same AGAIN!" If they'll "never be the same," you've blown "again" right out of the water. Feh!

[CherryIce1988]

11:34 PM on 11/14/2010

I think "lets get out of here" would be the most used line

[moodyblues]

In horror movies....shhhh did you hear that? What WAS that, Look out... behind you!
