"This just keeps getting better."

Excellent, perfect example of what I had in mind. It's so awkward. I don't thibk I have ever heard anyone say this in real life when they could just say "great" sarcastically. And yet it pops up constantly in fiction.
 
"With all due respect. . ."
I say that sometimes... is the only cure suicide?
You can switch to saying "not for nothing, but...", but that's kind of like ripping off your jaw to solve a toothache.
 
What does "not for nothing but" even mean? I do hear that one in real life, and it baffles me.

Basically, "what I'm about to say isn't that important, but it's my opinion on the matter so I believe it bears mentioning."

You can also use it to soften something that might be construed as offensive, like "not for nothing, but you dress like a fag."
 
Repeating the first word of a sentence when confused e.g.: "Did... did you make that last one up?" It must be an American thing because I don't know a single person IRL that actually does this.
A lazy way to convey a stutter to a lazy audience, where you instantly stutter at the start and spend no more time on the fake stuttering.

Is this a Seth MacFarlane thing or am I just having trouble thinking about anything else


 
Last night, life presented me with the chance of telling someone irl "I'm watching, when do I start learning" unironically.

I still feel dirty.
 
"We can do this the easy way, or the hard way."
"I was born ready."
"There's no time to explain."
"You're gonna wanna see this..."
"Who are you and what have you done with..."

"Stay cool"
"This just keeps getting better."
"We've got company!"

Spotted all the Millennial shut-ins.

I've got one for you:

"Sometimes monkeys die." It's not a good saying, but it's a saying.
