Back in my 727 days, I pranged one on pretty good. As I stood in the doorway I noticed a 5 year old boy marching up the aisle with his parents behind him. He stopped in front of me and said: "You better work on your landings there, pal!"
My other pilots were on the cockpit floor laughing.

... meeting the crew coming down the jetway ...
Line 1: "The good landing reservoir is still full, we haven't used any."
LINE 2: "Lands great from the left seat, little iffy from the right"

The -one time- I had a bad landing I just stood in the doorway and pointed up front, at the other guy's back, I said to the pax, using my best Austin Powers accent, "It's not mine, that's not my bag!"

Many moons ago, I was jumpseating from Dallas to Chicago on an Easter egg Braniff 727. Stopped at OKC, ICT, MKC, and on to Chicago. After every take-off, the non-flying pilot would complement the flying pilot on such a great take-off. Finally, on the last leg, my curiosity could take it no more and I asked the Captain, "What's with the take-off compliments?"
He turned to me, straight faced, and said, :Well.... neither one of us can land this thing so we compliment each other on our take-offs."

I had a captain a few trips ago that instead of saying "thanks for flying with us" or the like, he would go "Thanks... nice landing... thanks.... that was a great landing."
Pretty dang funny.. the passengers didn't really know what to say.
