Actually, this never gets old. If you want to amuse yourself and confuse the hell out of friends and colleagues, add a circa 1920’s “SEE??” to the end of every statement. It makes it a very strong imperative.
Bonus points if you refer to women as “Dames”

If you watch old movies or read stories from back in the 30s and 40s, you notice the dialog is different. Don’t know if it was a just a tough guy thing invented for the movies, or if real people talked that way, but it seems like everyone – women and men – spoke in brief sarcastic quips. Plus you had lots of cool slang. A guy might tell his friend, “Willya get a load of the gams on that dame? I’d like for us to pile into my heap and go catch a flick at the drive-in.” To which his “pal” might reply, “Go on, Valentino! You’re too yellow to even talk to a hot tomato like her.”

Anything Steven Seagal says in a movie when trying to be witty.
ie 1:
Seagal (totally deadpan): Come on, give me your best shot.
Bad guy:
Seagal (still expressionless): no, I said your “best” shot.
Bad guy:
Seagal: If that’s the best you’ve got, I’m going to have to kill you
ie 2:
Seagal sees a campaign poster for a bad guy who is running for office. The campaign poster contains the bad guy’s campaign catch phrase “…and you can take that to the bank.”
Seagal: I’m going to take YOU to the bank…the BLOOD bank.[/quote]
Belly of the Beast: the most appropriate Seagal movie title ever.
When one person is doing something that could be annoying and another person, instead of saying something straightforward like “Please stop that” they say “Um could you like NOT do that?”

It was awesome when they used it in the Lethal Weapon series, because it was original then. The problem is it’s still being used.
