I came into this thread with a negative set point because I see the "Shit X says" meme as thoroughly without value, being merely collections of stereotypes for no other purpose than to collect them. The OP confirmed this, and because my comment sorting had currently been on New, I scrolled through some of the comments, almost all of which continued to confirm this. Then I resorted to Top and saw your post, and my mind was immediately tickled. Some of these are genuinely funny, and in fact has value as a collection of LW memes and short rationality quotes.
