Had no idea until last year that the opening line to Last Exit was "Lives opened and trashed".
For some reason I had always thought it was "Life's a game of chess"
"Your world is ending soon. Mine's a little better cuz I never watch the news..."

I know Even Flow is low-hanging fruit for cheap jokes, but I never had trouble understanding it.

Anyway, I've never heard it as anything other than "but they don't wave" but "potato wave" gets me every time.

I think the only one I can think of is in Running where it sounds to me like "TKO! Poh-tay-toh!"
