WORLD'S GREATEST PICKUP LINE: 'I'M A BIG FAN OF SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS'

By SCOTT STEVENS

One of the world's greatest "pickup artists" has judged the line most likely to pick up women. And surprisingly, it's "I'm a big fan of Spongebob Squarepants."

"This line has so many things going for it, it's amazing," says Reggie Lothario, the pickup king. "Let's enumerate them."

* It shows you're offbeat, and willing to be original. Women like that. It shows confidence.

* It's a funny thing to say. Women love guys with a sense of humor.

* Saying "I'm a big fan" shows you're not afraid to convey enthusiasm, which women like.

* It shows you know what children watch, which is especially important to females who have or want kids.

* It contains the words "big" and "pants" which add up to a subliminal sexual message.

* It also contains "square" and "Bob" -- two words that evoke stability and steadiness.

* Women associate the word "sponge" with something warm and wet that they rub against their bodies.

* "Every syllable in this line works in at least two ways to seduce a female," Lothario says.

* Second place in "best pickup line" went to "You're blind? Really? I'm Donald Trump!"

I forgot my zip code. Can I have yours?

KinkyKiwi · 11-18-2004, 05:18 PM

hmm, this is teh only one thats actually worked on me..."Pardon me, can I borrow your spatula?"..but maybe thats just me...

Shades · 11-18-2004, 11:06 PM

A friend-girl of mine said this worked on her friend. It was at a party. The dude walked up to her, sat down next to her, clamped his hand palm down on her inner thigh at the top right by her crutch, slid his hand all the down, then informed her "That's all it takes." There were still together when I met them.

To this day, I and everyone I've told, men and women, are pissed off about this. I really want to hear from girls- would this work often, or was this guy just playing the odds and finally won? I wish I could get this forwarded to the Ladies' Lounge somehow.

On the NPR show Wait Wait Don't Tell Me, they were discussing another apparatly failsafe pickup line: "This time next year, let's be laughing together."

REVEALED: THE WORLD'S BEST CHAT-UP LINE

Nov 2 2004

By Vanessa Allen

IT'S the world's greatest chat-up line... or so scientists tell us.

The eggheads - possibly not the best people to ask - claim the phrase most likely impress a woman is: "This time next year, let's be laughing together."

They say it is superior to the cheesy one-liners used by your average romeo as it works on a psychological level.

The words "this time next year" indicate the man wants long-term love, not just a one-night stand.

And "laughing together" suggests a shared bond that will be as strong a year from now, Japanese experts say.

The supposedly irresistible line was devised by a 10-strong panel in Tokyo that included psychologists, professors - and Takaaki Ishibashi, host of the country's version of Blind Date,

Their deliberations were covered extensively on Japanese TV and, thankfully, come just in time for the Christmas party season.

But with Japan's birth rate at a record low, some cynics might suggest Japanese men need all the help they can get. Our legendary British lotharios certainly don't. Take Rod Stewart, who famously wooed ex-wife Rachel Hunter with the bizarre line: "What have you got in the basket, love?"

Or nightclub owner Peter Stringfellow, who favours: "Hi, gorgeous, I'm Peter Stringfellow and I own the place."

Hmm... perhaps not. What was that Japanese phrase again?

KinkyKiwi · 11-19-2004, 09:58 AM

hahahah...pickup lines rule

Delvid · 11-19-2004, 11:51 AM

Acetylene · 11-25-2004, 09:12 PM

"that's all it takes" would NOT work.

My boyfriend has a big yellow Spongebob shirt and we went to see the Spongebob Squarepants movie last week. Guess you see which works :P

GMontag · 11-29-2004, 10:10 AM

The best pickup line I've ever heard:

"Does this rag smell like chloroform to you?"

Yes I know I'm sick and twisted.

Slavakion · 12-01-2004, 02:06 PM

Is there a keg in your pants? 'Cuz I wanna tap that ass!

TexanAvenger · 12-01-2004, 04:52 PM

Some of my favorites (meaning, of course, some of the few that actually got me a date...)"

"Hey, wanna go back to my place and watch re-runs?"
"You want to go get a bite to eat with me across the street?"
"You mind if I strike up conversation with you in hopes of hitting it off?"

or, my personal favorite:
*with my best smile* "Hey." and just talking about whatever comes up. If you don't believe this works, try it a few times instead of one of the more commonly used lines.

That's awesome. I literally laughed out loud.

Jimellow · 12-05-2004, 03:49 PM

Now that this has been deemed popular and #1, does it automatically become the suck?
