Student 1: "Is your song out yet?" 
Student 2: "What, do you want her to sing it?" 
Student 3: "Do you want her to do it aquapela on the bus?"

"I love when the Grinch dresses in sexy outfits."

"I was just minding my own business and he turned to me and asked if I knew the lyrics to Fetty Wap."

"I wish I was rich enough to have a cocaine addiction."

"Oh, please don't twerk. It's not necessary."

"Did you see how perfect that dog's poo was? I'm jealous."

“No one’s butt pluggin’ me.” 

Man moving trees: “I've popped a few cherries in the back of the van.” 

“I thought he was gay but he’s actually got a girlfriend! Turns out he’s just from Brighton.”

Seven-year-old kid: “Mum, why don't you get a boyfriend?”
Mum's friend: “She's got one!”
Mum and friend lock eyes and clench jaws. Friend repeats the claim.
Kid: “B*tches get stitches.”

“ARMS! They're the traditional cuddling limbs.” 

“I don't need Bluetooth, I've got dentures.”

"Did you ever used to waterboard yourself?" 

“Oh, go on then. You pulled my leg.”

“My first name? You can’t even spell your own first name!” 

Girl 1: “That is soooo gay.”
Girl 2: “Ermmm…. You can’t use the word gay like that any more.”
Girl 1: “What? Shut up. I’ve got a list of favourite lesbians.”

“I’m telling you, mate. I’m telling you. Spoons is not top tier. It’s not even on the tier.”

“Shall we grab a coffee?”
“I've not eaten yet, I don't want to fill up.”

“Yes, I’m a nincompoop, you can’t take me anywhere!”
“Mum, that’s exactly the kind of phrase that’ll get you shanked.”

Drunk guy waiting for the bus at 2am: "I've gotta do someone's tattoo when I get home. It's only a small one though."
