I do need to point out though that several of the quotes could never possibly be uttered by a straight man.

Au contraire, it is the schtick of many a Nice Guy to reveal their deep well of sensitivity by quoting Jerry Maguire and the like. Even the “chick” lines. Because they totally, like, get it, you know?

That was incredibly funny.

Unfortunately, I’m NOT incredibly funny so I don’t have much to add.

Great post, loved it. I do need to point out though that several of the quotes could never possibly be uttered by a straight man. And straight guys that go to chick flicks never remember anything except how bored they were. And then there’s this:
#64: Gentlemen, you can’t fight in here! This is the War Room! -DR. STRANGELOVE, 1964

Obvious: This is absurd!
Subtle: You’ll get your turn when I’m done with her.

Addendum:I think her name is Condi.

#61: Say “hello” to my little friend! -SCARFACE, 1983

More Subtle: This isn’t my penis. I just borrowed it because mine is in the shop.

Obvious: I like to go fast.
Subtle: I like drugs.

More Subtle: I ejaculate prematurely.
