6. "You Know What Happens When A Toad Gets Struck By Lightning? The Same Thing That Happens To Everything Else" - X-Men
Defend this dialogue cue as a playful little one-liner if it makes you feel better: you know that this moment in X-Men makes you cringe each and every single time you hear it. Of course it does. What does it even mean, after all? Deployed by Storm (Halle Berry) before she electrocutes bad guy mutant Toad, I've been around some people who want to write this line off as if it's actually as funny as it was probably intended to be. Nope. The point here is that the first part of the sentence creates expectations, only for them to be totally zapped away by the Godawful second. I know it's not supposed to make sense - that's the point - but it doesn't mean it isn't lame. "Toadst," would have been a better answer. As in "toast" and "toad." Or, like, not that at all. Bah - let's move on.
