The UK best has to be the guy who exclaims to camera-

Moron, prostrated on top of a fallen ladder on concrete, utters the immortal line "They gave me the wrong sort of ladder!" He was shown seconds earlier attempting to drill a hole 15 feet up a concrete wall on the most rickity wooden ladder you've ever seen- the producer must have borrowed it from the Science Museum Stonhenge Diorama.
My response. You down there! No hard hat!
You're fired!
A huge and hauntingly ugly young woman slips on a wet floor in foyer of office block. After her legs go off in different directions, she goes down like a beached whale. From her purse bursts forth literally dozens of (redundant!) face creams, deodorants, lipsticks, mascaras, foundations perfumes etc. "After my operation" she burbles, "I got £*000 compensation from my employer."
My response. Don't you mean EX-employer?
Any US favorites?
