'To Hell With Our Orders' was okay. 'Lock and load' was not. It was way to 'cheesy' to be taken seriously. It would've been brilliant another crewmember had just looked at Data and then gone "So anyway, what are we gonna do?"
Worst. Line. Ever.

I can forgive “Allamaraine” for the same reason. Everybody (except the little girl) seemed acutely aware of how lame it was.I didn't mind the lifeforms bit because the crew just stood around in disbelief. If they were grinning with an 'Oh, Data" look on their faces that would've been way worse.I have to go with Data's "lifeforms" song. That makes me cringe in embarassment every time. Embarassment? At watching Star Trek? That simply should not be happening. Interestingly, my sister, who enjoys watching Trek with me despite not being a fan, found it perfectly acceptable.
I'm hardly an INSURRECTION basher but its attempts at humor were overwhelmingly forced and unsuccessful. As for Janeway's, "We're Starfleet. Weird is part of the job," - I always liked it. Same thing with her line about "the past is the future, the future the past, it all gives me a headache" is delivered very well.
Yeah. I mean, rationally, I know it's retarded and doesn't really belong, but it was pretty cute. It's probably Insurrection's best moment--a backhanded compliment if there ever was one.
Ironically, despite wincing at the lifeforms song, I personally love the flotation device joke. I'm odd like that...
Riker to Carmen in Silicon Avatar:
RIKER: My favorite part of dinner...
I sincerely hope little teenage Trek fans never tried to emulate Riker when trying to pick up girls -- they'd be regarded as a creep.

That stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid conversation between Archer and T'Pol at the end of "Regeneration" regardiing the signal the Borg sent toward the Delta Quadrant and how Archer says they've put off the invasion for "what? 200 years?" Were those writers' families threatened if they didn't shoe-horn stupid reminders every few minutes that "yes, we're related to TNG in some way" ? Especially since that signal to the Delta Quadrant had absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with how the Feds met the Borg.

After ready through this thread I can safely say I can live with most of the examples listed here... well except Wesley's "Lie" line. I had forgotten about that one.
But for me I would have to say the one where Sisko and Jake getting ready for bed in the episode "Explorers"...
Sisko: "Hammock Time!"
Jake: "Yo!"
That one exchange keeps me from rewatching a brilliant episode. Bleh...

It’s all in the delivery.
Watch, for example, Qless. Note Bashir’s attempts to hit on Vash. Pathetic. Embarrassing. Cringeworthy.
Now imagine Jim Kirk using the same lines. He’d have the girl on her back before you can say “Tiberius.”
Question: If ancient Bajorans rode a tachyon eddy to Cardassia, how did news of the trip make it back to Bajor?
^ I have no idea but I also want to know how the ancient Bajorans used a gravity dependent hammock and navigational gear in a sail ship with no gravity. I would also hate to hit any turbulence in that all metal cabin too. But I guess this would be left to a discussion in the DS-9 forum rather than here though. 
Or, for that matter, how a ship without inertial dampers (I assume the ancient Bajorans who didn’t have artificial gravity also didn’t have inertial dampers) survived such extreme acceleration without tearing the ship apart and killing the passengers. Sometimes you just have to ignore the technical questions, but the question of how the news made it back to Bajor is more of a plot question.
...And alienate your entire fan base.
The pick-op line I hated most was when he was trying to mack on Yuta and kept saying "Parthas a la Yuta" in reference to that dish she cooked. Just the way he said it and the fact that he said it more than once got to me.
Then why were they in the neutral zone scooping up outposts?
I do agree that the scene is slightly too telegraphed (I didn't mind the 200 years line, but the 24th century part was a bit over the top).
"Oh, shit!"
"It was fun" wtf kind of last line is that?

Better question: Why is it that whenever good guys die, they always get to lie on their back and utter one melodramatic last line before they flatline? I hate that cliché!
Here’s another nominee for worst line: “Off the hook after all.” Ugh. Why couldn’t Li just shut up and die?
I didn't mind or cringe at that scene at all. It was totally in character and funny, because Bashir is supposed to be a character who is inept when it comes to wooing women and it was endearing in this scene. Naturally, he's going to come across as awkward and corny when he tries to hit on someone, because that's his personality. In that sense, he's like the Geordi of DS9. That's why it took him so long to have his meaningful relationship with Ezri (Leeta doesn't really count, since their 'courtship' was so short-lived).
"Don't mince words, Bones. What do you really think?"
Has to be Star Trek's all-time #1 stinker, festering miles ahead of all the others.
And to make it worse, Shatner delivers it like he's vomiting out this putrid phrase that shouldn't have made it past the first rewrite of the script.

This is what it means...feel."
Just irks me.
"Up is no".

There must be something wrong with the universe?
