I just thought of another one while at work today so figured I'd bump this back up. The movie Parenthood is a great comedy, Steve Martin has a ton of funny scenes, but the show stealer is delivered by Clint Howard.

Martin is coaching his son's little league team and decides to boost his confidence by letting him play at a crucial moment. His son drops a pop fly causing the team's defeat. Howard, who is a parent of one of the other kids, goes completely berserk. "HE HAD NO BUSINESS BEING OUT THERE!...NO BUSINESS!...NOOOOOOO!" This scene perfectly illustrates how parents mess up children's athletics.

I'm going ot bracet out Joss Whedon shows which are hilarious and MASH because it could go down as the wittiest show in TV history, as well as the Serenity movie and a few Ben Stiller shows that tickle my funny bone and say:

The funniest thing I have ever seen on TV is on an episode of Daffy Duck where he's a fancy cowboy and his sidekick is Porky Pig. Daffy races into town to collect the outlaw and when he finds him in the saloon he brandishes his pistol and says:

Reach for the sky, hombre!

Now, that doesn't seem very funny, but he pronouces "hombre" like "home-burr." Kills me just thinking about it.

There are sop many different things that I've seen in various movies and tv shows that it's almost impossible to list them all. I'm just going to with the ones off the top of my head.

Any KIDS IN THE HALL sketch with Dave Foley or Kevin McDonald in it. The two of them together or by themselves are the absolute funniest sketches in the whole series. The "Pit of Ultimate Darkness" is a favorite of mine, but I also like the "Office Submarine" bit where Kevin keeps going "Office...submarine" and the last line. "You are the enemy of imagination. People like you think that poems have to rhyme, or songs half to have a catchy melody...that a comedy sketch has to have an ending." And then gives this weird look to end before the credits roll.

Or two great GOB moments in ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT. One was when he was trying to throw the envelope into the sea, and the other was during George Sr.'s funeral with his "coffin trick". Actually the whole episode "Good Grief" was one of my favorites.

Of course, the scene in a movie that made me laugh the hardest as in "jaw dropping to the floor, I can't beleve they got away with this" was the reveal in CLERKS that Catilin had inadvertently fucked a dead guy in the bathroom. I'm hoping that CLERKS 2 has a scene similar to that.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
"There's only one "Return" ok, and it ain't "of the King", it's "of the Jedi."

"Maybe we should start calling your friend 'Padme' because he loves 'Mannequin Skywalker' so much, Right? (imitating robot) Danger...danger...my name is Anakin...my shitty acting is ruining saga."

Excerpt of internet teaser for CLERKS 2.

Anything byt Kevin Smith. Especialy Mallrats and Clerks. I love those movies.

Clerks
[after losing a hockey ball from the roof]
Dante Hicks: "Are there any balls down there?"
Jay: "About the biggest pair you ever seen, dingleberry!"


Randal Graves: "People say crazy shit during sex. One time I called this girl 'Mom'."

Randal Graves: "Why don't you join her and make a little bathroom bam bam?"
Dante Hicks: "I love your sex talk. It's so kindergarten. "Poo poo". "Wee wee". "
Randal Graves: "Fuck you."


Mallrats
Brodie: "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned for Sega."

Brodie: "You fuckers think just because a guy reads comics he can't start some shit?"


Brodie: "You're giving up? You? You used to be stand-up guy, what happened to him? The guy who punched Amanda's gross-out mother after she called him 'low class'. "
T.S. Quint: "That wasn't me. It was you."
Brodie: "Oh, yeah."
T.S. Quint: "And it wasn't her mother, it was her grandmother."
Brodie: "No wonder the bitch went down so fast."


Brodie: "Hey, look at that ring. What is that?"
Jared Svenning: "That is, um, my Junior College class ring. Cum Laude, '69. "
Brodie: "I also hope to cum loud one day, preferably in a 69."


I have never laughed so hard during this movie. I love Brodie! God I love this movie.

I can't believe nobody has mentioned anything by Mystery Science Theater 3000 yet. I haven't seen too many episodes, but most of the ones I did see were hilarious!

Devil Doll:
"England, the land of jug-earred, chinless stomach-eaters." "Well, at least they aren't French." -Tom Servo/Crow.

Riding with Death:
"For some reason, this film was a hit with elderly black women and Hispanic lesbians." -Mike.

Revenge of the Creature:
"Now stand up" "And...evolve!" -scientist/Tom Servo (as scientist talking to chimpanzee).

Space Mutiny:
"A severely retarded jellyfish could make a better movie than this." -Tom Servo.
"Get a bunch of women together and it's always witchery or a wedding shower." -Crow.
"I think it's very nice of you to give that dead woman another chance." -Crow (as 'Sting', after a woman that was killed appears in the very next scene).
"You know, they shouldn't have set their phasers to miss." -Mike.

The Pumaman:
"Soundtrack by my little brother's Casio." -Crow.

And many other great lines. Ahh, good times...




Other people can occasionally be useful, especially as minions. I want lots of minions.
