 mixed cliches
Here's one to try. The first person starts with a cliche or proverb, such as "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush." The second replies, "You mean, A bird in the hand is worth half a dozen of the other." The next person picks up on "six of one and half a dozen of the other," and says...
Six of one can break my bones, but words can never hurt me.

You can look a gift horse in the mouth but you can't make him drink.
