Yes - Superman, where Lois dies in the earthquake by being buried alive. Superman pulls her out and snaps, says a couple of quiet "Nos" and then yells a "NOOOOOOOO" with Super strength.
He then proceeds to make to the world spin the other way because as we all know that would also cause time to move backwards.
YOu know, I was watching attack of the clones again and the sand dialogue itself really isn't that bad - it's actually kind of touching in a way, kind of 'classically' romantic. It's more Hayden's delivery and general stalker presence that makes it dodge. And his creepy touch/grope doesn't help matters. But I think the line itself isn't so bad.
Just take a look:
Padme: "..drying ourselves on the sand.."
Anakin: "I don't like sand. It's course. Rough. Irritating. And it gets everywhere! Not like here. Here, everything is soft....smooth..."
If he simply said everything while staring out into the ocean, and then does a subtle glance over to Padme with the soft/smooth....much better. But he just had to reach over and feel her up, didn't he? So....unsubtle. There was as much subtlety as, "I like your sweater monekys!"
Actually, a lot of the dialogue would've been anywhere near as bad, had the actors/director pulled them off better, or stuck with them until they were. Anakin was mostly just a dodgey creep in EpII. His laugh and general presence felt much more human in EpIII.

No one's laughed at any of my showings either, but I still think it's the most awkward line in the entire Star Wars universe... too bad, because other than that, and a few other spotty deliveries (and the stupid talking droids), I thought the movie was pretty much a return to everything I love about star wars.
The awkward pause, the ridiculous line delivery.. it was just all bad.
Though, it's hard to say which I'd consider to be the greater travesty.. the "nnoooooo" or the "...sand..." line.

Absolutely no one laughed in my theater either. We were all transfixed on the fact that we were seeing Vader in the suit for the first time. Not a peep out of anyone at that point. When I heard all the crap on here about the "Nooooo" I had to actually stop and think about what everyone was talking about. It was melodramatic for sure, but not nearly as bad as some people would like you to believe.
For me, the Yipeee! was far far worse.

It was fine. The whole scene was a good homage to this kind of thing. I thought the way everything looked and played out was well done, and was probably the most memorable / iconic moment in this trilogy. I liked his stuttering--
THE EMPEROR: It appears that in your anger... you killed her...
VADER: "N...no... I can't have. I felt her! I..."
** things start getting crushed, Palpatine for some reason doesn't shit his knickers **
** Vader breaks free from his constraints **
VADER: "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
---
"Yipeee" was a brief annoyance, and Lloyd is/was a kid after all... but pitting that moment against this? I think Yipee was far more cringe worthy.

I would have to say "sand" just because I use that scene everytime I talk about whats wrong with episode 2. Good God that was a horrible movie.
I didn't laugh at the NOOOO by Vader, I thought it was stupid though. The part I did laugh at was when the jedi kid was pleading to Anakin, and dude didn't say anything and just lit up his sword. For some reason, I just couldn't help but laugh at it. Man I am twisted.

LeBron loves his girlfriend. There is no other woman in the world hed rather have. The problem is, Dwyanes not a woman.
No one in the two showings I have gone to have laughed at Vaders "Nooooooo" line and it doesnt bother me at all :\
"Yippee" annoys me a little,but in all 3 prequels the droids and battle droids voices have annoyed me more than anything and that's including jar jar.

I thought the "NOOO!" was pretty poorly said, but what had me on the floor crying with laughter was, when the camera kinda sits there after Vader finishes his "NOOO!" my friend Dan leans over and whispers in my ear, perfect JEJ voice. "Well, now I have to do the robot." and started robot-dancing in his seat. Dan's delivery of the line and the image of Vader dancing like he was was just too much. I had both hands over my mouth and tears running down my cheeks I was laughing so hard. Really sucked that it was during such a serious moment during the movie, I was laughing really hard, silently, for about four minutes. :lol I gave myself a baaad headache from trying to keep my laughter inside.
The WORST has to be the "...sand..." line, though. That shit is HORRIBLE.
