Want to see just how many times one painfully overused line has been painfully overused over the years? Spoiler: It's a lot!

That got really annoying. But Rygel made an appearance, so it was worth my five minutes.

I hate that line but it was pretty damn entertaing to watch O'Neill from Stargate say it twice
 
The one with Rygel was also pretty good

Oh man, I've been rolling my eyes about this for years. They ought to add any painfully-overdone references to OZ.

this would make an excellent cliche.

I now never what to hear the phrase "Where not in Kansas anymore" ever again.

While it's impressive how many times this has been said, what's more impressive is how someone was able to find them all, and gather them up in one video.

Statistically speaking, maybe .000001% of people have ever even been in Kansas before. 
 
 
Statistically speaking, I just made that statistic up.

That truly was painfully painful.

Graffiti artists don't use canvas any more. 
 
It's a good line but it's hard use decently, like all cliches.

I demand a free friday post after having been subjected to that near-six minutes of torture.
LiquidSwordson Dec. 17, 2010 at 2:48 p.m.
Why did I watch the whole thing!

Looks like we're not in Kansas anymore.

Thank god it ended on some Kanye. I was damn near going insane!

I don't give a shit where he's not!

I'm not sure what any of those words mean anymore.

@MSBoyd23: Rygel makes everything better

ComicCrazyon Dec. 17, 2010 at 5:40 p.m.
