GotLines - Pick Up Lines, Jokes and Insults

Lines Ripped From the Headlines

News moves fast, and so do the jokes. This page collects pick up lines built around world events, headlines and whatever everyone happened to be talking about that month, ranked by reader votes. Some have aged well. Others are a small time capsule of a news cycle that felt enormous at the time and is now barely a memory, which is part of the appeal. They work best in the moment, so the ones near the top tend to be whatever is current. Expect a mix of genuinely topical and thoroughly out of date.
