that sounds wise or informative, but is not?

Examples:
"Half a dozen one way and 6 the other way."
"A rolling stone gathers no moss" -- {who would want moss?}
What expressions were you really impressed with until you gave them a second thought?

I don't mind either of those sayings. "Six in one, half-a-dozen in the other" makes the point it is trying to make. And so does "A rolling stone gathers no moss."
Nobody really wants moss. Except for New England.
But here are some stupid ones:
"Fallen head over heels" If your head is over your heels, have you really fallen? We always stand with our head over our heels.
"Great Scott!" Who the hell is Scott anyway and why is he so great?
"Pick and Choose" - Redundant
"Good grief" ???

"half as much as thought"
Favorite non-sensical typo
"He did not need half as mush as thought"
"I shouldn't have to say this.."
"Ngg Nggg Nnggg" - Chewbacca (or something like that)
(A stitch in time saves nine means a stitch in time saves nine stiches, but most people just throw socks away when they get holes today).

Years ago, when my Aunt Alice became frustrated, she would mutter to herself, "s**t and 2 make 8 and a fart's a fraction!"
It always made me laugh, but after thinking about it, made me wonder, "what the f***?"

How about "You can lead a horse to water but you can't teach him to fish". Oh wait, I think I combined a couple....

You may be able to catch more flies with honey than with vinegar, but s**t still works best.

Monkey see, monkey do. Then why aren't they tearing up our habitat and putting us in cages?

My mom's classic expression: "If it was a snake it would have bit you." My favorite reply: "If it was a snake, I wouldn't be looking for it."
