Here's one i made up.

Due to the combined pressures of his painful acne and teasing from his classmates, the puberty stricken kid was going through a "safe-shave-to-save-face" phase"

the surrounding wording seems hella forced, just to have the tongue twister mean something... haha

I think "she sells sea shells by the sea shore" is one of the harder tongue twisters to say.

Try doing that one really fast 5 times in a row.

The only one that's ever f***ed me up is "toy boat" 10 times, very fast. It's easy until a certain speed, and is then impossible.

I actually think that one is really easy

However, that "toy boat" fucks me up, I can barely even say it three times

Betty bought a bit of butter, but the butter was so bitter. Betty bought a better bit of butter.

That's the only one I remember from school.

Record yourself doing Toy Boat and I will ship you 5 American dollars, though I know they are worth less than yours. Although I concede this one is also impossible.

And you'd have to say "toy boat," not "toy boot" or something, this is considering the American pronunciation.

holy crap, this one beats everything out there. but does it make sense to put sixthed in twice?, as hard as it is to say, tongue twisters still have to make sense. care to explain it to me, cz im clueless as to what it means. i can only tell that "sheep is sick", is the main subject and verb

Let's replace some words to make it easier:

The fifteenth ill sheik's ninth sheep is sick.

The first sixth is the number of the sheik, the second one is the number of the sheep, like Iron Maiden's album "Seventh Son of a Seventh Son." However that album was by a good margin their worst, so that may not be a good analogy.

yeah basically it means there's at least six sheiks that are sick. and the sixth one has at least six sheep, the sixth of which is sick

in other words

sick sheik #6 has a sheep #6 that's sick

I can sort of do the sixth sheik one, but I can't do it any faster than just normal talking speed, and it makes me sound like I have a lisp =/

Also the fact that I always pronounce "sixth's" as "sixssss" might make it easier.

My favorite since I was little was the one my grandmother taught me:

I slit a sheet, a sheet I slit, a well slit sheet was it.

Say that a few times really fast. Usually nobody else can do it without fucking it up. Pretty funny.
Never give up on something that you can't go a day without thinking about.
