All the way back to WWF Wrestlemania: The Arcade Game. Vince McMahon always said "This is a total debacle!" And I don't remember him ever saying that on a real WWF broadcast. "Dawn MARIE Bytch. B-WHY-T-C-H!" (Oh crap, sorry. I thought it was ALL video game commentary. You heard that one only about 65 times in a 4 minute match on ECW Hardcore Revolution.) That was a play on Tammy Lynn Sytch's name, after Lance split from teaming with Chris Candido. When Dawn Marie came in as Lance 's valet, they said she was his personal "bytch". He was getting more at the fact that Joey Styles shouting it out 100-plus times throughout the course of one match was incredibly annoying as hell. Yes, it happened to me too. Another big annoyance from that game was the "whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa!" sound byte when a weapon was used. Most often followed up by "Maaaan!" or "Gosh!" when you continue wailing on them/getting wailed on.

These ones cracked me up in War Zone: "_____ is about as a effective as a one-legged man in an ass-kicking contest." "I can get in there and wrestle with fans like these!" Also, the crowd comments were funny: "Player one, YOU RULE!" "I see a blueblood!" "Rocky doesn't suck, YOU SUCK!" Real men wear pants, you idiot!

Lawler: "Have you ever been to Big Show's house? His cereal bowl has a lifeguard."
Got a real chuckle out of that one.

I hate the self-congratulatory, self-promotional commentary way more than any bad joke or repeated line. Such (paraphrased) gems:
"Let me tell you, when WWE comes to town, a ticket buys you a whole world of excitement."
"WWE athletes are unlike any other athletes in the world."
"With matches like these, it's no wonder that WWE is the global leader in sports entertainment."
"WWE can deliver action and excitement like no other."
Although the real life commentary is veering closer and closer towards this kind of shamelessness, I don't think even today's commentators would be THIS overt in hocking the product to an audience already watching it. And if they did, they wouldn't word it this lamely.

Just heard a line in '12 that was actually kind of funny.
"Daniel Bryan is of course a vegan. That's like a vegetarian but much more annoying."

My favourite is still: "Chris Jericho. Has the best. WALLS of Jericho. In the WWE." My favorite was the "Mr. Black" style cadence that commentary had

Speaking of good ones, just picked up Fan Axxess and while I haven't tried out King yet the commentary for Cole and JR's pretty much the best the series has had. Pretty funny actually, particularly for Cole.

The In Your House gam for the PS1, they gave Vince a line or two from NBA Jam. Most notably, BOOMSHAKALAKA!!!

I remember in SvR when you did the punch to groin a la The Rock, because it was a "Dirty" move Cole would say "Would you look at that? What an underhanded move!" even if your character was a face.
Surprising aversion of "face hypocrisy."

Not that it was an odd thing to say, but Strikes had an annoying line in commentary mostly for the sheer number of times I heard it. In any extreme rules or ladder match I'd hear "I'm not much of a handy man..." over and over and over and over again.

"He's going for the eye.....that's such an effective move!" Every time someone goes for an eye rake.

Jerry Lawler in SvR 05, as I like to call it:
"It's not how you play the game, JR, it's whether you win or lose what matters."

Kind of surprised that no one's thought to include, "I have a pinfall victory over Triple H, how about you?" yet.
