The Simpsons

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1c1F0PpbHdg (scene from Airplane!)

Buffy The Vampire Slayer movie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tzLucaX6LR0 (mall scene, watch at least the first minute and a half)

Buffy The Vampire Slayer TV Series: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wbxBvQ9bq4 (ignore the silly narration at the end when it goes B&W, that was just whoever uploaded the scene adding in that, was not in the show)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSZMjtvL6Vc (warning this one is kind of a spoiler just in case you haven't seen the series but plan too (you should!) so best not to watch if you ever intend to; also they edited out a few funny lead in lines to the second scene for some reason so it doesn't play as well as it shoyld)

It's hard to find clean youtube clips easily of scenes but here are more in text:

"Cordelia: People who think their problems are so huge craze me. Like, this time, I sort of ran over this girl on her bike. It was the most traumatizing event of my life. And she's trying to make it about her leg, like my pain meant nothing?!"

or
"Cordelia (to the school counselor after everyone who witnessed the decapitated (by a bug!) body of their science teacher had to go for counseling session): Oh, I'm not saying that we should kill a teacher every day just so I can lose weight. I'm just saying, when tragedy strikes we have to look on the bright side, y'know? Like how even used Mercedes still have leather seats."

or
"Teacher: Now, we all know that the 14th century was a time of dynamic demographic growth... but not for long. The Black Death swept across Europe, wiping out entire populations. Now, who can tell me what the fun side of the Black Plague was?"

Seinfeld - Silent/X/Boomer/maybe anyone really LOL

others can list lots more

Note it's NOT AI. The text on her shirt is all weird AI looking because I quickly scribbled with a clone tool over it because the shirt had the year printed on it! Which would have kind of tended to maybe, maybe, maybe give it away LOL.
