Pick up lines, often groan inducing and yet we love them for a laugh. But laughter at least breaks the ice right? Right??? Well some are just a little much although sometimes memorable. The absolute worst those writer has heard was so bad and said with such confidence it still solicits a laugh.
We went out as a group of women newly 21. One friend strayed from the group and was talking to two, very flirty, brothers at the bar. Whatever type of triangle they were thinking wasn't happening on our watch and we quickly got her back to the table. One of the men confidently walks over, flashes a smile, and holds his arms out proclaiming to us all “Come on, I'm a tube steak smothered in underwear baby!"
The second one was a man who acting all smooth looked me up and down and said "girl I like your resume." To which I responded, "I didn't apply for the position." They went for their shot so hard and to their credit I've never forgotten either of them.
Redditor triggeranimal wanted to hear the best of the worst pick up lines the Internet had to offer. They asked:
"What's a pickup line so bad it's awesome?"

Laughter is key.
“When I was in uni. I was drunk and sat down next to this girl at a party, and said. ‘If I could rearrange the alphabet I'd put you and me together.’ She looked at me confused and I was like. ‘No that didn't make sense.’... She started laughing. At that moment I knew. The best thing to do is try and make people laugh. And not use a chat up line seriously.” Dr_Downvote_
