3. "You have got to be kidding me."
Guilty Movies:Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, Enchanted, Megamind, Bride of Chucky, The Thing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=832UnfMJyKs When's it used? There are many variations of this once witty aside, but the definitive straight-man line has officially run its course. "You have got to be kidding me" is usually deployed by a sensible character who is trying to take hold of a situation, or is experiencing a mounting sense of pressure and can't catch a break. A certain event following this set-up will trigger the line, usually as the straight-man catches a glimpse of another character doing something wacky or ridiculous or completely nonconstructive to the advancement of the plot. "You have got to be kidding me" has also become an extremely overused line in horror movies and is almost always heard once the bad monster or evil-being is presumed to be dead, only for it to re-emerge again for one last fight (usually as a more powerful version of its former self). "You have got to be kidding me" is often substituted for "You have got to be fucking kidding me!" or some fouler variation in these cases. Example?Bill and Will stand by a bowl of punch. Bill has organized a lame bachelor party for his best friend. The rest of the gang think Bill is a bit of a stiff and decide to take some desperate measures. Jack, a cooler, more outgoing character, has slipped out of the party for a second...Bill: I've tried to make this party as hip as possible, Will. I guess one bottle of vodka wasn't enough. Will: Don't blame yourself, buddy. You know what these guys are like. They wanna party. They wanna live it up the one chance they get. Bill: I guess I'm getting too old for this kind of thing. Maybe Chris was right... maybe you should've let Jack organize the party. Hey, where is Jack? Jack enters in slow-motion, five high-class strippers on his arm, an R&B track playing obnoxiously in the background.Bill: You have got to be kidding me.
