I thought this would be an interesting thread to start. Sometimes pick up lines are an easy way of getting your point across cleverly, so I was wondering - do any of you guys/gals have humorous, intelligent, clever or other pick up lines that you've heard/used?
It sounds like the stupidest thing ever, but someone mentioned it here, and I mentioned it in a stupid pickup line discussion I was having with friends, and they were, like, "dude, that totally works! You totally pulled it off!"
"Hey, you know how much a polar bear weighs? Enough to break the ice. I'm [insert name here]."
I was prepared to come into this thread and just say "Hi, I'm [insert name], [comment about relevant surroundings]"...however, seeing Thanatos' offering..that's pretty damned good.

When you're picking someone up a cardinal rule I use is don't give your name unless they ask or throw theirs first.
What if you really hit it off and never got their name? That sucks. I don't know about this. I always like to introduce myself first, its all about confidence and presentation. If your confident in what your saying and how you say it you can pick up any girl you want. (unless your horribly disfigured and she is repulsed)
If you use the pick-up line with a silly tone of voice and are essentially obvious about the fact that you're not serious, it's a great way to break the ice. When you make the other people laugh, you have a much higher chance of being remembered later.
Serious delivery of a pick-up line is kind of off-putting to some, I've found it's better to deliver it as a joke, in the 'if i was the kind of guy to use a pick up line, here's something I might say:' sort of vein.
I always liked, after the setup,
Oh yeah, I do know one-
"What fucks like a tiger and winks?"
*shrug*
Dunno either. *give charming smile and wink*
Really you're just going for a laugh, its a way of making sure you have someone's attention, and that the first thing on thier mind is a positive association with you.
The biology, polar bear, and tiger/wink ones are funny. I like anything that makes a person laugh, so I'm looking for those rather than something that is raunchy.

Just wear slippers, it totally works, women come up and talk to you.
Getting into Pubs wearing slippers is hard, but I've found a place where if you order an expensive drink you need to trade your shoe for a slipper so you wont run off with the glass. Then you have a slipper so you are totally set.
Futurama had some good ones:
"Is heaven missing an angel? 'Cause you've got nice cans!"
"My two favorite things are commitment and changing myself."
"I find the most attractive part of a woman is the boobies."
"If I said you had a beautiful body, would you take your pants off and dance around a little?"
None of them (except maybe the second) are really all that smart, but they're damn funny.

"Damn you and your Daily Doubles, you brigand!"
I don't believe it - I'm on my THIRD PS3, and my FIRST XBOX360. What the heck?

Seriously, I would be very put-off/ creeped out by most of the rude and vulgar ones mentioned here.
ITs good to be funny, but anything including the word 'fuck' is likely to make you look like a jerk who is only after one thing. Which I suppose is fine if you are, but not desirable if you are on the hunt for a girlfriend.
Some of these are over the top and I wouldn't use them. I wouldn't be blatant about sex with a woman. They like the chase as much as men. It's better to be a little sly about it. Like the one about clearing a place off to sit isn't bad if you were to apply it to you lap. I'm totally going to use that one. Using it more sexually isn't going to get you a very good response with a lot of women.
Like you have to be smart about it. Cocky funny not about being a cock.
Although sex is your ultimate goal you have to do the dance first. It's like on the discovery channel where you'll have two venomous spiders trying to fuck. The male usually has to pacify the female before she lets him put it in and then he has to get away before he's a meal. It's like, you need to be confidant enough to get up to the girl, initiate conversation and demonstrate social worth, then depending on how things are going you go into kino (touching, nothing too intense) to further things along. Just like the spiders.
Ones I have used, never successfully (well...once) and always at the request of a friend of mine (female) who enjoys seeing the results:
1) "Hi, my name's Fred Flintstone and I can make your bedrock!"
2) -hold up hand in Indian style- "How", if they reply "How" back: "Right, now we've worked out how, let's work out where and when"
3) "Hi" -look up and down- "Y'know that skirt would look better on my floor?"
4) "Would you like a worm-do?"
Results:
1) Odd stare.
2) Didn't get the required response and had to half heartedly explain where I was going with it.
3) I can't quite remember but I think I was called a "pervert" and then stared at by her and her friends evily all night
4) Actually got this reference and I got on well with them and had a good natter all night.
But seriously, chat up lines generally don't work. I normally meet people through friends in which case Ijust go over and...well...talk.
"Baby, I wish I was your derivative so I could lie tangent to your curves."
And some others:
Look towards the person and beckon them to come over using just a finger. If they come over, say " I made you come with one finger, imagine what I could do with my whole hand."
"You look nice and innocent.....allow me to change that"
Good non-dirty one:
"Hey I see you are wearing clothes. I'm wearing clothes. Did you know we have something in common? We should get together and do something sometime."
"I saw a flower today and thought it was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen until I laid eyes on you"

Honestly, any line that can make a woman smile, involves your name, and is delivered with confidence has the potential to "work".

If you know some Biology students: "(Use of 'baby' optional), if I were an enzyme, I'd be DNA Helicase so I could unzip your genes."
There's a Barats and Bereta video "So Smooth" showcases a lot of them. I'm not sure if I should link it or not due to some probably nsfw-age.
Generally try to be funny and demonstrate social worth. A good opener is hard, but once you find one you like stick with it and do variations on it.
A general line I like is "How old are you?" which you respond with "What do you need me to buy you beer?"
and then start brushing off your upper lip
this works best if you have a handlebar moustache
Kind of like how the best sex is your right hand?
But seriously, as dumb as lines may seem, and two years ago I thought lines and bits and routines were dumb, they get results.
Just think that not every novel catches you at the first sentence or two, but it can still be your favorite.

Exactly. Right on. I have seen guys say ridiculous things to women and the women respond positively.
What you say doesn't matter nearly as much as how you deliver it.
"If I could be anything, I would be a DNA helicase so I could unzip your genes."
"Is heaven missing an angel? 'Cause you've got nice cans!"
"My two favorite things are commitment and changing myself."
"I find the most attractive part of a woman is the boobies."

Are we quoting faves now? Cause this one is friggin' gold.
So stolenz dude, I am taking all of Canada with that.
"Baby, I wish I could be your derivative so that I could lie tangent to your curves"
On a side note this probably only works if your aim is to get slapped.
"What, you don't like milk?"
In seriousness, always be confident.

I've always heard that one as "Hey, wanna go get pizza and a fuck? What? You don't like pizza?"
hey [baby]. let's do some math. You plus me, minus your close, divide your legs, and let's multiply.
not a pickup line but in a similar vein:
You plus me plus baby minus me makes two.

I gathered positive outcomes weren't the objective, otherwise he wouldn't be looking for pick-up lines.
