Great movie lines that made you laugh, for whatever reason ...

Just post a random line and what movie it's from, and why you like the movie (or not - hey, sometimes lines come from otherwise sucky films). I don't go to many movies or see many, but one of the recent ones my sister and I attended was "Role Models" with Seann William Scott and Paul Rudd, about two guys who have to work off community service by volunteering with a troubled kids' home - it has some rude and crude in it, but it gave us some good laughs and there's a nice little subplot about acceptance for LARPers and other roleplayers, both male and female. Anywho, there's a scene where the counselor is showing the volunteers "good" and "bad" touches, and she hugs another adult from behind. "This is bad," she explains.

"Well, obviously we're not supposed to buttfuck the children," says Scott's character.

dahlianna and I ROLLED. (Another good one was the little boy giving Rudd's character problems by kicking over his tent on a camping trip. When Rudd reprimands him, the kid goes, "What, because I'm black, you think I did it?" and Rudd answers, "No, I think you did it 'cause you DID it!")

Another underrated movie I like is "Who's That Girl?" (Yes, the Madonna movie co-starring Griffin Dunne.) It has a lot of good dialogue, such as when they fend off a couple of thugs and then have to race to the jewelry store to pick up a ring. Her character starts complaining about the detour, and his answers, "No. We did one of your things; we killed the pimp and the fat man. Now it's time to do one of MY things."

Yours?

In Tropic Thunder (one of my all-time new favorite movies), there is a part where Ben Stiller's character, Tugg Speedman, is watching one of the E! News shows and there's a rather mocking part about him, talking about his past films and how he's basically made a failure of his life. After watching it, he calls his agent, played by Matthew McConaughey (or however you spell his name), and asks if saw the show. The agent replies, "Yeah, it was like pistol-whipping a blind kid." I couldn't breathe for a minute because I was laughing to hard. Oh, and one of the best expletive-laden lines Tom Cruise utters in this movie, "I'm going to shove my fist so far up your s***hole, every thought you have is going to have to tiptoe past my wedding ring." I want to get married JUST so I can say this line to someone someday. =D

One of the best lines of that movie involves Stiller saying something to his co-stars and including "you people," meaning all of them - but Downey's blackface character in his best Shaft-like voice barks back, "What do you mean, 'you people?'" And then the only real black actor immediately confronts Downey: "What do you mean, 'you people?'"

[thewolfmistress.livejournal.com]

My all time favorite line, though it's not particularly funny is when Downey drops his Asian act and starts shooting people up and goes, "I'm a lead farmer muthaf***er!" I get happy every time I see that scene!

[veronica-rich.livejournal.com]

YES. I had forgotten about that one.

"I'M A LEAD FARMER, MOTHERFUCKERS!" Truly channeling Samuel L. Jackson.

[thewolfmistress.livejournal.com]

In my mind, it's the most beautiful moment in the movie. *wipes tear* The second most beautiful is the entire Satan's Alley trailer. =D

The fake movie that launched a thousand Iron Man/Spider-Man slashfics ...

I gotta go with "Just 'cause it's a theme song don't make it not true!"

[veronica-rich.livejournal.com]

"I want you ... to go over there, and punch him right in the nose."

Steel Magnolias is one of those movies I can't turn away from if it's on TV. There are many great lines in that movie, but my favorite line comes from when they are in the cemetery after Julia Roberts kicks it (I hated her character and am not fond of her as an actress) and Sally Field has her fit. I love what Olympia Dukakis says "M'Lynn, you just missed the chance of a lifetime! Half o' Chiquapin Parish'd give their eye teeth to take a whack at Ouiser!" I have no idea why, but I just love it.

Also, while Juno is funny in that weird/quirky way, the best line comes after she tells her dad and stepmom she's pregnant and who the father is. Dad's response is "Next time I see that Bleeker kid, I'm gonna punch him in the wiener." Cracks me up.

Here's one: in "Galaxy Quest," when they find themselves on an alien planet, they're observing the locals from behind a rock. Sigourney Weaver's character thinks they're cute, but Sam Rockwell's character, "Guy," is convinced that they're going to turn evil somehow--and that if anything terrible happens, it'll happen to him, because he once played a red shirt on the show they're all from. The aliens do turn out to be rather evil, and Weaver urges them all to retreat by saying, "Let's get out of here before one of those things kills Guy!"

Also, just about anything from the film "Waiting for Guffman" is guaranteed to slay me. "It's like the olden days, the days of France, when men would slap each other with their gloves. Say, 'D'artagnan,' y'know, 'how dare you talk to me like that, you!' And then... smack 'em!"

Rickman doing his whole Nimoy I-am-not-Spock thing nearly gave me a hernia laughing the first time I saw that ...

Let's see . . . . a line . . . a single movie line . . .

How about a segment, from "History of the World, Part I":

Dole Clerk (Bea Arthur): Oh, a bull---- artist!

Comicus (Mel Brooks): *growls*

Dole Clerk: Did you bull---- last week?

Comicus: No

Dole Clerk: Did you try to bull---- last week?

Comicus: Yes!

[a-silver-rose.livejournal.com]

erk, forgot the why's and such . . .

I like this movie because . . . well, it's Mel Brooks, first of all. Makes me lmao whenever I watch it.

[veronica-rich.livejournal.com]

BEA ARTHUR IS IN CHARGE OF ALL.

The first porno they try to make in "Zack and Miri Make a Porno" is a Star Wars ripoff. When they're trying to figure out which characters are going to have sex, Delaney (played by Craig Robinson who is Darryl on "The Office") gets offended on a geeky level and says indignantly, "Han Solo ain't never had no sex with Princess Leia in a Star War!" The movie works mostly because Kevin Smith is a motherfucking sentimentalist at heart, but Robinson's a notable bright spot.

And I'll add some more Mel Brooks in the form of "Young Frankenstein." After Elizabeth is seduced by the Monster and he is lured away with violin music, she shouts this after him: "Where you going? Oh, you men are all alike! Seven or eight quick ones and then you're out with the boys to boast, and brag. Well you better keep your mouth shut! OhIthinkIlovehim." Madeleine Kahn is my queen.

But really, my favorite funny line as well as my favorite last line of any movie? "Oh, you don't understand, Osgood! I'm a man." "Well, nobody's perfect." Doesn't matter how many times I hear it, I always bust a gut laughing. IMO very, very few comedies have aged as well "Some Like It Hot."

[veronica-rich.livejournal.com]

You gotta wonder about Osgood. Personally, I think he'd be just as happy with Jerry as with Daphne (more) anyway.

You take Madeline; I'll take Bea Arthur. Although mean!Betty White runs a close second.

Mine comes from 'Zoolander', which happens to be one of my favourite films, after Derek delivers the eulogy: 'Did you think I'd be too stupid
to know what a eugoogoly was?'

God, I love Ben Stiller and his 'Blue Steel' look in that XD

[veronica-rich.livejournal.com]

I haven't seen that one yet ... :-(
