Horrible analogies

General Chit Chat

I few years ago, I was a huge fan of improv show where the performers asked the audience to write random phrases in a piece of paper. At some part of the play, the actors took a piece of paper, read it aloud, and perform accordingly. Like, in the middle of a love story, just before the kiss, the guy pull the tiny paper and say “I’ll kiss you, but I have diarrhea”

I just saw this post on 9GAG with terrible analogies and it reminded me that show. I could totally imagine @bryanlunduke saying one of those phrases during the show, or using them in one of his books. My favourite: “Her eyes were like stars, not because they twinkle, but because they were so far apart”

As always, if the community would like to add a few more terrible analogies to this list… more than welcome.

My granny used to say: “Look into my eyes, and call me sausage…”

Makes me think of one of my favorite movies…

“His guts oozed nice, like a melted malted.”

Very common in my country, and I’ll try to translate it

“This conversation is longer than a snake’s fart”

Substitute conversation according to the situation.

I don’t know about bad analogies, but I had some friends who used weird mixed metaphors. 'That’s three cat’s panjamas in the bush"

That kind of thing.

His reply left me as confused as Adam on Mother’s Day…

My rage made me feel as dangerous as a monkey with scissors…

The water pipe was so plugged, it dribbled like an old man with prostate issues.

That reminded me:

“I was hanging there, like an old man’s ballsack…”
