151 Cheesy & Corny Pickup Lines That Are So Bad They’re Good

Extras | January 17, 2024

Is it hot in here, or is it just you?

Ever met someone you liked, and wished you had the perfect line? If you want to have rizz, this list might just do the trick!

Historically, pickup lines are used to start a conversation with romantic intent. The oldest recorded line was from 3800 BC, and written on papyrus between two Egyptian gods: “How lovely are your buttocks. And how muscular your thighs.” Shakespeare faired better, with his classic line from Sonnet 18: “Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?”

Although saying these lines can feel silly, scientific research supports their usefulness. In the study, “Chat-up lines as male displays” (2005, Bale, Morrison, and Caryl), lines with jokes, empty compliments, and innuendos were received negatively, but those showing spontaneous wit, education, culture, or helpfulness were regarded positively.

So, ready to try your luck? The next time you’re out, please feel free to use this list. Fortune favors the bold… and cheesy!

161 Good Roasts & Funny Comebacks To Win Any Argument

Extras | December 13, 2023

Roasts and Comebacks - Were you born this stupid, or did you take lessons?

Ever been in an argument and wished you had the perfect comeback? If you want to playfully insult a friend, give a sassy comeback, or stop an unwanted advance, we’ve got your back with this comprehensive list of roasts!

New York’s legendary Friars Club held its first roast of Maurice Chevalier in 1949, where, as the guest of honor, he was subjected to hilarious and risqué jokes at his expense. Subsequent TV roasts on Kraft Music Hall (1968), The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast (1974), and Comedy Central Roast (1998) have kept this comedic tradition alive.

Although formal roasts are always done with the consent of the recipient, we believe you should always have a good, funny comeback up your sleeve to win any argument (friendly or otherwise). It never hurts to be prepared, so please feel free to save and make use of this list!
