What's the actual difference between a "one liner" and a "quip"?
who cares

Answering this question is this board's ultimate purpose.
Don't think there is any difference.
one liners are cool, funny, open and honest banter like arnold pinning someone to a wall and saying "stick around" or killing someone on a plane and saying to the air hostess "excuse my friend, he's dead tired"
quips are unfunny and cringey try hard shit like in iron man 2 when fury walks over to tony who's sitting in the big donut on top of the donut shop and says - "Sir, I'm gonna have to ask you to exit the donut." UGH

a quip is a comeback.
a one-liner can be a comeback but doesn't necessarily have to be. it's just a short joke.
Quips are low caliber, more sporadic than one liners. A good quipper makes up for the low hit/damage aspect with higher volume.
One liners deliver more punch, more weight. They are generally more tailored to the specific situation. They require more craft, more focus than a quip but a well executed one liner does a hell of a lot more damage than a quip.

this place smells like CUNT...I think
>>71549651
Sorry nigga, but that ain't a quip. That's a riposte.

What happens when Arnold only speaks in one liners, like in Batman and Robin? And he says a bunch of them?
>one liner
Takes place right before or right after some action
>quip
Takes place during some action

Are you just guessing?
>>71550140
This is wrong.
>>71550140
this
it takes away the tension
like, if you have time to crack jokes while fighting a supervillain or his minions you're probably not in any kind of danger
ex:
>ironman being overwhelmed by ultronbots in AOU
>"where is black widow? she better not be playing hide the zucchini!"
vs
>john matrix impales bennet with a tube, the man is clearly not a threat anymore
>"hey bennet, let off some steam"
this thread makes me realize that quips vs one liners is a meme just like kino vs cinema.
That's like saying what's the difference between a car and an automobile

Trenchant insight
>>71550212
Makes sense
Quips are like little ineffective jabs to keep the opponent at bay and on their toes during a boxing match.
One liners are like a KO upercut delivered at the perfect moment.
>>71550294
I think it's more like beaner vs mexican. bot mean the same thing, but one of them is meant to devaluate
>>71550203
Just an observation
I'll need to do more research before I present my theory for peer review
>>71550212
plus quips mostly have recent pop-culture references, while one-liners are mostly puns
another example
>ironman and spiderman fighting against antman in CW
>"hey guise have you seen that super old movie The Empire Strikes Back?"
>"hold old is this guy?"
>"don't know, didn't carbon date him"
vs
>arnold about to fire a missile with a terrorist on it in a harrier
>"you're fired!"
one liners are cheesy but they don't ruin the quality of action scenes, unlike Marvel's obsession with quips

Apostrophe = Kino
Witty Comeback = Cinema
One Liner = Movie
Quip = Flick

What's the difference between a riposte and a rejoinder?
>>71550453
Pretty sure they're both synonymous with 'retort'. If there is a difference it's that riposte is the one most restrictively used to mean a clever/witty insult. Retort and rejoinder aren't necessarily clever or insulting, although that's the most common connotation.
What about an aside?
Woody Allen used to put these in his movies (ex: my mother ladies and gentlemen)
A Quip is addressed to another character in conversation.
A One liner is the character speaking aloud to him/herself, for the benefit of the audience.
Look, someone must have a usage guide? So we can settle this once and for all.
