I have Never seen Better Off Dead, but the line is definitely in Men At Work. It was said by Lewis when he finds Jack Berger while picking up the garbage with Carl and James. Great movie btw.

Actually, I think the line in Bod is, "Man, that's a shame when folks be throwing away a perfectly good white boy like that."  It's said by one black guy to another  who, IIRC, are working on cutting trees or working on telephone polls or something after John Cusack casually waves at them from within a garbage truck.  (Cusack's character was going to commit suicide by jumping off a bridge, his buddy talks him out of it, then taps him too hard the shoulder, knocking him into a passing garbage truck.)

The lines ARE similar, so I could see where there'd be some confusion.
