Pickup lines are a tale as old as time, and they never cease to entertain.
Many people are often acquainted with the usually cheesy one-liners, whether it be on the receiving-end or the one who's gutsy enough to try it out on someone they're attracted to. But we can agree that more often than not, pickup lines are almost always just...sad.
We're not gonna say pathetic, because it's not easy to go up to someone you're interested in and say something, which is why pickup lines even exist. But why do they have to be so bad? Sure, some generate a laugh and maybe some obligatory conversation because, sigh, they really just said that.
Either way, know that you're not alone. People all around the world deal with some pretty tragic pickup lines, and The Cut has just released a new video with men and women from different cities around the globe sharing some of the most memorable lines they've either gotten or said to someone else.
For example, the men in New Delhi's go-to: "Is your father a terrorist? Because you look bomb," while a guy in Seattle takes it back to the card-trading days with, "Is that Pokemon in your pocket? Because I want to Pikachu."
Yeah, we're serious. Watch the video to see what else people come up with!
Wonder if Selena Gomez has to deal with weird pickup lines?
