When I was doing IT ops for a company, we had a little program that generated 4 random common words and put a symbol between them (!.@#$%). Super easy to type and fairly easy to memorize, but according to every password checker also really hard to crack.

"Broth.Dogs.Run.Blue" is 10x easier to remember than "$#kdSk$SWE223" but 1000x times more secure. Probably more so, because you are less likely to have to write it down to remember it.
