Comedy works in fashion cycles, in a way. And sometimes, studios will imitate those cycles a little too much.

I've seen some movies where people improvise and will say some bizarre phrase they had heard the other day, and unless it's coming directly from character and the moment they're experiencing and driving the movie forward, then it's always welcome.
