History Main / CantBelieveISaidThat

-->'''Zedd''': I can'...I can't believe I'm saying this. I can barely get the words out.

-->'''Zedd''': We have to...Oh, this hurts...we have to...'''help''' the Power Rangers!

-->'''Baby:''' I ''carried a watermelon''?

* ''Film/LoveActually''. When [[MeetCute meeting David the Prime Minister]] for the first time, Natalie worries about how she thought '(she) was going to say shit or something and ruin everything.' Then realises that she has indeed, just said shit, and quotes this line verbatim.

A form of SelfDeprecation. AliceAndBob are having a conversation and Alice says something that provides Bob with an opportunity to respond with a witty or charming comment...and Bob completely blows it. This will generally lead to the conversation being over, leaving Bob to lament his stupidity in saying what he did. This usually takes on one of two forms:

** Later in that episode; "Final score, no TARDIS, no screwdriver, two minutes to spare, [[{{Adorkable}} WHO DA MAN]]?" {{Beat}} "Right, I'm not saying that again."

-->'''Baby:''' "I ''carried a watermelon''"?

-->'''Nate''': I think you have pretty eyes too. Stupid!

* ''Franchise/StarWars: Film/ANewHope'': Han Solo in the detention entryway, over the communications system: "How are you?" He cringes horribly.

--> '''Natalie''': Hello, David. I mean, sir. Shit, I can't believe I've just said that. And now I've gone and said shit. Twice. I'm so sorry, sir!
--> '''David''': It's fine, it's fine! You could have said fuck, and then we'd both have been in real trouble.
--> '''Natalie''': Thank you, sir. I did have a terrible premonition I was going to fuck up on my first day. ... Oh, piss it.

* Happens in the ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' episode "Welcome to the Hellmouth" as EveryoneMeetsEveryone:
-->'''Xander:''' Well, uh, maybe I'll see you around... maybe at school... since we... both... go there.
-->'''Buffy:''' Great! It was nice to meet you.
-->''She starts down the hall.''
-->'''Xander:''' ''(unimpressed with himself)'' We both go to school. Very suave. Very not pathetic.

-->'''Spike:''' So that's it? You've just come to pump me for information?
-->'''Buffy:''' [[InnocentInnuendo What else would I want]] [[UnresolvedSexualTension to pump you for?]] *beat* I really just said that, didn't I?
** In the comics it's Satsu's turn to say this. After sleeping with Buffy, a vampire is about to kill her, threatening that he bets she tastes sweet. Satsu dusts him, drawls, "You have no idea," then groans as they had been keeping their lesbian fling a secret.

--> '''Xander:''' "[[IThoughtItMeant We gotta cook her dinner?]]" (BeatPanel) "Aw, pretend I didn't say that."

--> '''Xander''': I still don't understand why we have to come here to get info on a killer snot monster.
--> '''Giles''': Because it's a killer snot monster from outer space. i did not just say that.
* In the episode of ''Series/{{Friends}}'' "The One With The Blackout", Chandler gets stuck in an ATM vestibule with Victoria's Secret model Jill Goodacre. She offers Chandler gum and at first he turns it down. Then he realizes that he shouldn't have and tells her:
-->'''Chandler:''' You know, on second thought, gum would be perfection. ''(Thinking)'' Gum would be perfection? Gum would be perfection. Could have said, "Gum would be nice," or "I'll have a stick," but no no no no no. For me, gum is perfection. I loathe myself.
** Also in "The One With The Holiday Armadillo", Monica says "Okay Ben you stay here and Santa, The Armadillo and I will have a little talk in the Kitchen. There's a sentence I never thought I'd say".

* ''Series/DoctorWho'', from "School Reunion"; "Correctamundo! There's a word I've never used before, and hopefully never will again."
** From "The Eleventh Hour"; "I'm the Doctor, I'm worse than ''everybody's'' aunt! And that's not how I'm introducing myself!"

-->'''The Doctor:'''(After noticing some suspicious mold in Craig's flat) I'll fix it, I'm good at fixing rot. Call me the Rotmeister. No, I'm the Doctor, don't call me the Rotmeister.

--> "Are you interested in running for public office?"
--> "Absotootley, I -- am very sorry I just said that."

--> Mork, don't worry. After you get your gleek, your gorgles will be gone! (Beat) I can't believe I just said that.

-->'''Winston''': This is just the hired help. Where's The Boss! *beat* I Can't Believe I Just Said That!

-->'''Wonderella:''' "...that's like the '''worst''' comeback ever uttered by the human mouth."

* In {{Agents of Cracked}} episode F.U.B.A.R.-King Up The Wrong Tree
-->'''Swaim:''' ''Are you saying, that you need my quasi-legal fetishes and weird dick to make this happen?

-->'''Brian:''' Relax. You're allowed to breathe. [''Taylor laughs nervously''] You okay?\\
'''Taylor''' [''thinking'']: What was I supposed to say? Admit I didn't know how to deal with being around a good looking guy?\\
'''Taylor''' [''out loud'']: I get nervous when I'm close to people. I think, you know, maybe I have bad breath, or maybe I have B.O., and I wouldn't be able to tell, because it's mine, so I hold my breath like that to be safe. I dunno.\\
'''Taylor''' [''thinking'']: Bravo, Taylor. ''Bravo.'' I imagined the [[SarcasticClapping slowest, most sarcastic of slow claps.]] Talking about bad breath and B.O. was ''totally'' the way to go. One of those brilliant moments that would have me cringing every time I remembered it in the next few years or decades, I was sure.

* In ''CampRock 2: The Final Jam'', Dana tells Nate that she "thinks he has pretty eyes" and he gives her a lame response. When she leaves, he says this:

** Also happens earlier on, after Scott attempts to flirt with Ramona by [[WhatAnIdiot talking about the history of]] PacMan.

* A comic of ''FunnyFarm'' featured Ront describing the steps required to reach the town of Bucket, which involved going through the Phukket river and ends up summarizing it as "Going around the Phukket until they climax in Bucket." and, as his brother cracks up, remarks that he can't believe that sentence just came out of his mouth.

* ''{{Hurricanes}}'': In an EnemyMine case, Amanda and Stats (Hurricanes) entered a truce with Garkos, Wyn and Genghis ([[OpposingSportsTeam Gorgons]]) to find who's trying to kill commentator Winston Honeychurch. Amanda told the Gorgons they'd have a chance to act like cops. At the first attempt to capture the outside foes, Genghis told them to stop in name of Law. He'd later feel silly for having said that.
