We asked the BuzzFeed Community to tell us the best movie lines that weren't written to be funny...but were absolutely hilarious. Here are some of the best responses.

1. Let's start with this Twilight classic, an immortal line that Edward said right before leading Bella on a, like, climbing and jumping-around expedition.

Edwards says, "You better hold on tight, Spider Monkey"

2. Also in Twilight, when Edward showed Bella his skin in the sunlight for the first time.

Bella says, "You're beautiful" and Edward says, "Beautiful, this is the skin of a killer, Bella"

3. In X-Men, when Storm spoke this victorious line right before defeating Toad.

Halle Berry as Storm says, "Do you know what happens to a toad when it's struck by lightning, the same thing that happens to everything else"

4. In Pretty Woman, when Edward and Vivian essentially exchanged weird romantic clichés.

Edward says, "So what happened after he climbed up the tower and rescued her," and Vivian says, "She rescues him right back"

5. When Ivan Drago in Rocky IV said the least empathetic and most obvious thing I've ever heard.

He says, "If he dies, he dies"

6. In Thor, when the God of Thunder and his dad, Odin, got into a shouting match filled to the brim with wit.

Odin says, "You are a vain, greedy, cruel boy" and Thor says, "And you are an old man and a fool"

7. This unimaginably unsexy line from 50 Shades of Grey that's a strong argument for just banning sex altogether.

Christian Grey says, "Two things, first, I don't make love, I fuck, hard"

8. Also in Fifty Shades of Grey, when Christian opened up and also just happened to basically say the title of the movie.

Christian says, "Because I'm 50 shades of fucked up"

9. In Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, when the two men ceased fighting and became BFFs because their mothers have the same first name.

Superman says, "Save Martha," and Batman yells, "Why did you say that name"

10. In Con Air, when Cameron Poe made a looming threat that sounded like it belonged more in a cartoon.

Cameron Poe saus, "I said, put the bunny back in the box"

11. When Dalton from Road House turned down local anesthesia for the most bonkers reason.

The doctor asks, "Do you enjoy pain," and Dalton says, "Pain don't hurt"

12. In xXx, when Xander Cage really wanted to defeat the bad guys in style.

Xander Cage says, "Dude, stop thinking Prague police and start thinking Playstation, blow shit up"

13. This very disturbing and affecting line from the apocalyptic film Snowpiercer that is also, frankly, so funny.

Curtis from Snowpiercer says, "You know what I hate about myself, I know what people taste like, I know that babies taste best"

14. This famous line from Four Weddings and a Funeral that I don't hate, but, yeah, I get why so many people recoil.

Carrie says, "Is it still raining, I hadn't noticed"

15. In Robocop, when Lewis was lying in a puddle after having been shot multiple times, and she was way more chill than I would be in that situation.

Robocop says, "Lewis, lewis," and Lewis says, "Murphy, I'm a mess"

16. In The Kissing Booth 2, when Elle tried to be flirty, but it ended up being so cringeworthy, it's hard to even read.

Elle says, "Like, later, when we leave here, I was thinking, like, if it's okay with you, I'm going to treat you like my own personal jungle gym"

17. Anakin's hilariously stilted response to learning of Padmé's death in Star Wars: Episode III — Revenge of the Sith.

Palpatine says, "It seems in your annger you killed her," and Anakin/Darth Vader just screams "No"

18. In Armageddon, when Colonel Willie Sharp said this bananas line to reprimand Rockhound.

Colonel Willie Sharp says, "Get off the nuclear warhead"

19. In Camp Rock, when Mitchie was blown away by the lamest techno-ish music known to humankind.

Caitlyn plays the keyboard with weird hand and arm movements and Mitchie says, "She's really good"

20. In Jupiter Ascending, when Jupiter, who is a space princess, pleaded with her part-dog love interest.

Caine says, "I'm a Splice, you don't understand what that means, but I have more in common with a dog than I have with you," and Jupiter says, "I love dogs, I’ve always loved dogs"

21. And in Predator, when Blain was legitimately injured but couldn't have cared any less.

Poncho says, "you're hit, you're bleeding, man," Blaine says, "I ain't got time to bleed," and Poncho says, "Oh...okay"
