Most annoying/hated/head scratching lines…

Maybe it’s because it’s the best TV script ever written, and so eminently rewatch-able that we know the dialogue backwards… but when a line falls flat it sticks out like dog’s balls.

S4E3: A pipe bomb goes off at a high school swim meet. Agent Casper is briefing Leo and Bartlett that the culprits were a hate group. Bartlett, almost apropos of nothing, interrupts to tell the WH chief of staff and the FBI’s top domestic terrorist expert that “the internet has been a terrific tool for hate groups”. Ah… yeah Mr President, that’s right. It would be like stopping Lebron James mid free-throw to tell him “if you shoot the ball outside the arc you get three points”. It’s so clumsy, completely takes me out of the scene.

I love S3/S4 so much, but this line makes me wanna throw CJ’s fish into the rose garden Koi pond. What’s your irrationally annoying line?
