Thanks to various unnamed FMs for helping compile the list.
Carl King in Emmerdale's 40th Anniversary live episode - during an altercation with Cameron when Cameron threatened to kill him he shouted "I'm indestructable!" then Cameron bashed him over the head with a brick and killed him. It reminded me of the "I'm king of the world!" scene in Titantic and I burst out laughing!
The 'get Den Watts' line never had 'he'll know what to do ' after it. DS members added it on and over the years people just believe it happened!
I did naht hit her, I did naht, it's bullsh*t. Oh hi mark

Can we include 'Glenda Insults Everyone'? Or was that supposed to be funny?

That was more than a line, that's going in my thread

She had just landed in Walford after fleeing her non wedding and had no clothes. Max for some reason, I can't remember why, ended up giving her a dress of Tanya's to wear, Jack returned to the house and assumed Sharon was having it off with Max so called her a scrubber and it went on from there.

Ohhh I see, just seemed like a random thing to say! But now I remember that episode
After Peter and Tina had sex
Tina: What did we just do
Peter: Something beautiful
I forgot "I wanna jump yer bones"
Peter Barlow declaring he and Tina had just done "Something Beautiful." was cringeworthy as was Kevin wanting to jump Molly's bones.
Unintentionally hilarious was Kevin forgetting that his first son died.
As well as "slappin dahn", I'd also throw in the sequel. "What are you gonna do to me? Mr JOHNSON???"
Tracey Barlow's is the absolute stinkiest of lines though. I don't believe that will ever be worsened.
Sharon's lines are great, like 'Cheese and pickle? Basic'.
Got to be Bubbly's in the fridge! it's iconic
Gail's immortal line "You're Norman Bates with a briefcase" to Richard Hillman stands out for me as a classic.
Oh. No. Poor. Libby

Basic food for a basic bitch

It's the way she says them
There was a scene where she employed Johnny at the Albert and he was looking at the fit barman and Sharon was acting a bit like a faghag
