    "So, he equipped his rhino—" (ducks off-camera, laughing) "—He equipped his rhino, which is a sentence that makes sense in Magic. (Hold on, I drooled.)
    "I was expecting him to equip it on his, uh, his Shaman, so then he'd have two 4/4s and he could just swing at me with both every turn. But instead... he's all-in on a rhino."

    Reviews 

  • The Agony Booth:
    • From the recap of Zardoz: "Then we cut to a naked May explaining Marxist philosophy while mathematical formulae are projected on her breasts. And you know, sometimes you type a sentence that makes you stop and ask yourself, did I really just type that?"
    • A stand-out line in Overdrawn at the Memory Bank: "Desirée! You could have gotten mustard all over his brain!"
      Albert: Yeah, just take a second and stare at that line for a while. It's a beauty. Lines that insane only come along once every so often.
    • In Myra Beckinridge, but more related to how screwed the content of that movie is.
      Then it's back and forth between the anal dildo rape (boy, who ever thought I'd type that phrase in a movie recap?)...
      Then we cut to another old film where an old guy and a woman are cheering. Old Guy exclaims, "It's the first time in my whole life I've ever really enjoyed opera!" And this is the first time in my whole life I've ever had to type the phrase "anal dildo rape" four times, so I suppose we're even.

  • The Angry Video Game Nerd's review of the Beetlejuice game has the player need to move a cloud, resulting in the Nerd complaining of the cryptic way of making it move: "to get a cloud to move, I had to get a skeleton to shoot a fireball at a beehive".

  • Atop the Fourth Wall: During his review of All Star Batman And Robin issue 7, Linkara at one point says "We then see sound effects, now there's a phrase that can only be written about comic books, of 'tak tak tak'."

  • Troy from Blogger Beware does this occasionally when reviewing a Goosebumps book. For example, in "Phantom of the Auditorium":
    The Corn Flakes aren't soggy yet, so the Phantom must be near. I still can't believe that sentence needed to be written by me. Amazing.

  • Bobsheaux has one in his review of The Oogieloves in the Big Balloon Adventure:
    They look in on their friend J. Edgar — get it? He's a vacuum cleaner! — who's getting balloons for their little pillow friend. And my God, I can't believe this movie makes that sentence real!

  • In The Cine Masochist review of Hell Comes to Frogtown, we get this gem: "Tease triple dick-punts Toady... Wow, there are some words I'll never say again!"
  • Often used by Zoey Proasheck of the Yogscast, who will say something unusual and follow it up with "That's a sentence..."

  • In the Cinnamon Bunzuh! review of Animorphs #39, both Adam and Ifi agree that the plot is dumb and nonsensical. "That said, 'And then the Dracon beam blew up the buffalo' is one of the best lines I have ever read."
    • One person in the comment section suggests K. A. Applegate just gave that line to the ghostwriter and said to construct a story around it.

  • Encyclopedia Obscura review of the terrible movie Robo Vampire:
    I would just like to point out that you just read about a ghost and a gorilla vampire trying to have sex when they suddenly are interrupted by a robot out to get a drug lord. You will never read that again in any other context, so cherish this moment before it's gone.

  • Jim Sterling, having encountered a creature they dubbed a "trombone sloth" in an Early Access game called "Wrongworld":
    Jim: Oh god, it's got a little anus! It's got a little butthole! Look at that! Shameless! [is attacked by a tree stump monster] Oh, go away! I'm trying to look at a trombone sloth's butthole! ...That's a sentence that I've had to say today.

  • Linus Tech Tips: In Linus' review of a monitor he states "I think I've got a defective nipple here", followed immediately by "Words you never thought you'd say!" For context, Linus refers to things which use tiny joystick-like controls as 'nipples'.

  • A major source of comedy in Scott The Woz's videos.
    • In Game Packaging, in regards to the sentence, "I mean, the PlayStation box art sort of ripped off the original Game Boy box art," Scott adds the first tally to a "How Many Times Somebody Has Said This" chart.
    • In The WiiWare Chronicles II regarding Muscle March: "I'm part of a band of greased-up muscle freaks trying to regain their protein powder, and that's only the third time I've said that today."
    • In Shovelware Variety Hour: Round Two: "I'm sure you've heard this today already, but I have to reiterate it: Smurf Dance Party's main problem is a lack of content."
    • In Wii Play Motion | Eh, Why?: "There's not much to Pose Mii Plus. I didn't think I'd say that today."
    • In Gamecube Was Best:
      Scott: The GameCube's like Van Gogh — it really started to get recognition after its death. And the PS2 and original Xbox are moreso like... Pogs — popular at the time, not as loved these days.
      Offscreen voice: (fanfare plays) CONGRATULATIONS! That was the first use of that analogy ever!

  • In a textual review of Turkish Star Wars, Spoony wrote:
    The scene ends gracefully by ramming the camera into the nostril of an ugly alien who looks like Linda Hunt dunked in turquoise paint and wearing a green Bozo the Clown wig and a black pinstriped suit. I'm fairly certain I've written about thirty sentences that have never been uttered before in the entire history of the English language just describing the total lunacy being displayed on the screen. I think I'm going out of my fucking mind.

  • Happens several times for TheStrawhatNO!:

      • From the review of Goodbye Twentieth Century: "Nazi Harry Dumbledore just punched Santa in the face. Nazi Harry Dumbledore just punched Santa in the face. Let that sentence sink in. Nazi Harry Dumbledore just punched Santa in the face. Nazi Harry Dumbledore just punched Santa..."
    • In the Allison Pregler and The Cinema Snob crossover, The Asylum's Sherlock Holmes:
      Snob: I never thought I'd say this, but the climax of the movie involves Sherlock Holmes in a hot air balloon fighting Iron Man in a giant robot dragon while Watson rides on horseback to stop an android from blowing up Buckingham Palace! I can't even make a joke about that!
    • In the Snob's review of Elves, we get this:

    • In his review of "Tom and Jerry: The Movie":
    Critic: So after they escape the singing cat gang... good God, did I just say that?

      Chick: For reasons unknown, she ends up in her underwear where the beetles all start singing about how ugly she is, ending with Gilbert Gottfried smacking her on the ass... But really, how many times in life do you get to say that?
    • Bennett the Sage had this to say when introducing Felicia and Lord Raptor from the Night Warriors: Darkstalkers' Revenge OVA:

  • The Comics Curmudgeon has used this a few times:
    Today's Snuffy Smith sent me on an etymological voyage of discovery, which is a sentence that I’m pretty sure has never been written before and will never be written again.
    Here is a sequence of words that has almost certainly never been constructed before but which I nevertheless believe to be meaningful and also true: these prehistoric ants appear to be Seventh-Day Adventists.

  • David J. Prokopetz once wrote a post on Tumblr comparing the glut of Darker and Edgier protagonists in video games to how people in the 21st century seem to give more respect to the Monster Clown trope rather than sad clowns or non ironic clowns.

    You should hear Clint Barmes play "April Come She Will" on the acoustic second-base-area. It'll bring a tear to your eye. (That might be the weirdest sentence I've ever written. Fuck it. I'm leaving it in. It's 12:25 a.m.)

  • In season 6 of Acquisitions Incorporated, Wil Wheaton ends up giving a little speech about the absurdity of the situation he has found himself in.
    Wil: Dungeon Master, friends, assembled nerds. I'm forty years old. I have been playing Dungeons & Dragons since the Red Box set in 1981, 82, 83, somewhere around there in my life. It is safe to say that I have been playing Dungeons & Dragons for a minimum of 20 years, possibly longer, maybe closer to 30 years. I'm gonna say something I have never said. I have gone against the giants, I've been killed in the Tomb of Horrors, I have visited the Temple of Elemental Evil, and of course, there is not a single square in the Cave of Chaos that I have not crawled through. One time I talked to a wizard named Bargle, and I have never said the following words: I will climb up the asshole.
