It's a hard thing to find out about because rarely do bad quotes become famous. And even when they do, actors don't want to take credit for it.

I don't know. But it'll probably be something from someone like Tommy Wiseau, or someone known for improvising a lot & had a few bad movies. I bet Steve Martin, Eddie Murphy etc etc had some terrible improv that made it to the final cut.

IIRC, Tommy Wiseau was very adamant about the word on the page being read. Really, that’s the case with a lot of those truly terrible directors. Actors are forced to read their stilted dialogue, and not given freedom in a lot of cases to make lines less awkward.

JFC... I swear I thought some of the lines must have surely been improvised. Haha.. This makes the movie even funnier.

Thanks for the tidbit.

The only improvised line was “Hai, doggy!” At the flower shop.
