'He Didn't Make It': The Megacut (VIDEO)

As you might remember from our "You Look Like Sh*t" movie megacut, Hollywood characters tend to be pretty forthright and explicit with each other when it comes to personal appearance. But death is an altogether more delicate matter. It's not easy to look someone in the eye and say, "He's dead." Luckily, in the world of the Hollywood script there is a reliable, time-tested alternative that communicates the same thing while also saying Hey, I'm sensitive to your loss: "He didn't make it." Just how time-tested an approach is this? We now present to you the comprehensive "He Didn't Make It" Megacut:

Someone asked me if I edited this video together. I want to clarify that I didn't make it.

Didn't the term "make it" used to mean having sex? So, I guess a lot of movie characters could have used an aphrodisiac!

"Luke, I'm your father."

I mention that because IT WAS NEVER SAID, yet people keep quoting it again and again and again!

Actual line: "No. I am your father."

"Freeze!!!" I'll bet you could do a four hour mashup on that one. And most cops would tell you it makes them laugh.

"Frankly,my dear,I don't give a damn". Use it in many of my replies to my wife. Works every time and I think it's because it's one of her favorite movies and breaks her train of thought.
