Cheesiest lines?

Riker in Insurrection:

"Time to navigate the Briar Patch the way Brer Rabbit did."

Worf/Data in many episodes:
"Sensors are picking up unusual readings..."

That reminds me...it always annoyed me on TNG how people would constantly refer to something unknown as an 'anomaly'. Kind of a lame word. They could have just said 'this thing...' or something like that. :cool:

Yeah. Guess it draws out the dialogue a few extra seconds:

Worf: "Sensors are picking up an anomaly at 411 Mark 2".
Picard: "What sort of anomaly?"
Worf: "Unknown sir"
Picard: (looking around at the bridge crew) Options?
Data: "Sir, I suggest we move closer to investigate the anomaly."
Picard: "Make it so."

It was meant in jest, but yeah there can be known anomalies too. Like a rare but previously recorded event.

That's not cheesy, really.

A little on the redundant side, I suppose.
