I tend to do manual "diceware"-passphrase generation when I need to (i.e. I cannot use my password manager for any reason). So just random words and half-words are appended, like: 'misfortune behold oratory plexum' Then again, these things tend to just stick very well in my mind, so it may not be appropriate for everyone. Also, I only need to do this on certain services, so it's not that many to remember. The hard part is when they then reply with "requires at least one upper case character, number, symbol, etc.". A certain XKCD comic comes to mind...
