What's the stupidest line you've ever had to say onstage?
Mine's easy:
"YOU I shall call....BUMBLENUTS! (To make this even worse, it's said in a German accent. Man...)"

Cruel_Sandwich, you must have been in Musical Comedy Murders of 1940! I did it last year as Marjorie, the show's simply divoon
isn't it? (the only problem is we were cast 2 out of a double cast, so there was some tension). But it really is a fun show to do with so many great roles!
As far as stupidest lines, once I played a stupid character so the lines were supposed to be dumb. i can't htink of any realy dumb ones off the top of my head.

"Well, a good neighbor is a good neighbor and what is a good neighbor without tea and crumpets!"
--High School Play written by a faculty member. And this line had to said while sitting in a chair and balancing a tea set and a plate of "crumpets" (actually flattened waffles).

"I think the audience is getting bored. We should swordfight."
Don't worry, that was a student-written play - that crap isn't published.

Another from the same play:
"It's a ... stand-in beard." (Especially when I already had a beard myself!)

Posted: 8/1/05 at 3:38pmWhen I was about 13 or 14, i wrote a sex scene in which the woman kept saying "DANGER DANGER! ALL NIGHT LONG! DANGER DANGER! WEAR A THONG" over and over. Hopefully, I've improved...

It's not as stupid as some...but it's the stupidest I've ever had. In response to "We need a big finish, with a capital F!"
"But big doesn't start with an F. That would be...fig."
The ultimate dumb blonde moment. The whole one act that it's from is pretty lacking in intelligence though.

In the send up of South Pacific which was termed South Passaic.
You do the damnedest things when you're bored in summer stock.
Seriously, try doing that line with a straight face. Most Nellies face upstage.
"Don't die, Emile." Indeed.

"Oh my darling...You could have had me, but you shall never have England."

Cruel_Sandwich and CurtainUp, is it weird that I did MCM at my school too? And that I recognized the line right off the bat?
#16re: Stupidest Line You've Ever Had to Say...
Posted: 8/1/05 at 5:40pmI never had a stupid line, per se but my friend's one and only line in this production of Treasure Island was "Where's my fish?" I laughed at her for that one for a long time.

Posted: 8/1/05 at 5:53pm"I always feared the Taj Mahal would look like a biscuit box...Did it?" Haha maybe not stupid exactly, but very weird!

I was in a student-written, 15-minute, German production of Beauty and the Beast. I played Beauty.
Beast: (after really, really cheesy transformation) Beauty, it is me!
Me: It is you!
No kidding.

"You won't leave me though, will you? Will you?"
I never figured out a way to say this and not sound overly cheesey.

That only reflects badly on the actresses, not the line.

I was in a production of Dear Edwina (if any of you have ever heard of it, it would be a miracle) and there was this serious part where Edwina's dreams were crushed, and I'm standing there with a box of brownies, and I'm like..."Brownie?"
I felt like such a dipstick offering her a brownie when she just got rejected!

Posted: 8/1/05 at 11:50pmI have kind of heard of Dear Edwina, but that's only because I occasionally spend time at MTI.com looking at some of the shows they carry. Yes, my have-a-life-o-meter reading is well below 0.
