[[TheCasanova Some people]] have a knack for saying the right thing to make a good impression on someone who attracts their interest. [[CasanovaWannabe Some people]]... don't. The really inept ones spout worn-out cliches, crude come-ons, and regrettable remarks that are more likely to result in a disdainful eye-roll, a quick retreat (possibly with a [[INeedToGoIronMyDog blatantly lame excuse]]), or even a MegatonPunch than a romantic encounter. This is almost always PlayedForLaughs, so it's a ComedyTrope. Expect any pickup line involving an IncrediblyLamePun to generate a corresponding LamePunReaction.
