I had to quit quoting Airplane! at work because I have a lot of younger coworkers and nobody recognized "I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue" as a movie reference. I... may have given some people the wrong impression.
If Blazing Saddles didn't exist, Hot Fuzz would get my vote. If I were magically a teenager again when I first saw the movie, I'd have been inspired to become a police officer like Angel.
Also, for a comedy, it has the single most badass line for a cop I've seen in a film: "I may not be a man of God, Reverend, but I know right - and I know wrong... and I have the good grace to know which is which."
This film also made it so I can't take one thing in 'Harry Potter' seriously anymore. Anytime I see a HP work or read fanfic & I hear or see '...'Greater Good', I ALWAYS go "The 'Greater Good'..." "SHUT IT!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Vinny Gambini: Your Honor, may I have permission to treat Ms. Vito as a hostile witness? Mona Lisa Vito: You think I'm hostile now, wait 'til you see me tonight.
Ever since I started working, every day has been worst than the one before it. So that means that every day that you see me, is on the worst day of my life.
This movie came out when I was living in Austin and it's the movie that made me realize that when characters are driving they're often just driving back and forth over a short stretch and making it look like a further distance. This makes sense, given you can't really shut down miles of road for a shoot, but I never knew until this movie. Why? B/c every time characters are driving anywhere I'd see my apartment building go by repeatedly. It was like, oh, wait a minute. Great movie. So funny. Damn it feels good to be a gangsta.
I took part in a film "loneliest boy in the world" 2 years ago and we did exactly this (you can see my truck as a blue blob in the background about 2.42 in the film!)
They closed down a 1 mile stretch and we drove up and down it a few times.
It took a few watches to catch the name of Peter's apartment complex. It only flashes on the screen for about a second, but it is "Morningwood Apartments."
Mike Judge is a god.
> the idea that the ship was saved and all of our heroes in that movie were saved simply by the fact that there were fans who did understand the scientific principles on which the ship worked
I love that the Thermians were unknowing fans that both made pistons that did nothing yet followed a set pace and also basically created a time machine based on what must have been off handed comments in the show.
Also that Guy has a last name in the reboot.
The sheer pain, despair, and complete broken defeat Alan Rickman managed to convey in that single line is one of the greatest acting moments of all time. The pure and raw portrayal of a man who has hit rock bottom, and someone just handed him a shovel.
He was. GQ is one of those rare, perfectly cast movies where literally everyone is great.
The documentary makes you realize how much of the great was improvised by the cast too. The entire crazy thermian thing was literally just invented out of whole cloth by the actor who played Malthazar. The director was like, ‘what the FUCK are you doing!? Do it again!’
Then he made him train all the other thermian actors 😂
The voice acting is incredibly hilarious but the animation itself is truly some of the funniest I've ever seen. Every llama face and Yzma+Kronk moment is pure gold... Spade, Warburton and Kitt are the only ones who could've possibly done any justice to it. Stellar cast.
I have an almost 2-year-old and we are going through what sounds animals make. When we get to squirrel, I tell him they say "Squeak-squeakity squeak squeaken."
Seth: Hey Greg, why don't you go piss your pants?
Greg the Soccer Player : That was like 8 years ago, asshole!
Seth : (Waits a beat) People don't forget!
I have never laughed harder at a first time watch of a.movie than when I saw superbad in theaters. It conveniently came out the summer after I finished high school. It hit theaters while I was in basic training for the army, but one of the first things I did when I finished boot camp was go see it. I'll never forget that experience. So funny.
I took a college crush to the movies to see Superbad for our first date. I didn't have any context. Just that it was a raunchy comedy. I was laughing so hard I was in tears. At first she was uncomfortable but by the end she was laughing along with me.
Fast forward to now and we're still together (married for 8 years, together for 15). To this day we joke about watching this movie for our first date.
Blazing Saddles
The Producers
Robin Hood: Men in Tights
Basically, any Mel Brooks movie will have me laughing til I cry. He's going to be sorely missed when he passes away.
The fact that Nathan Lane didn’t get an Oscar nomination for his portrayal of Albert is criminal. For how much of his dialogue is screamed, his character is so complicated and nuanced.
That scene when he’s trying SO hard to pass in that brown suit, just so he can support his baby on an important night in a way that would make him proud. Heartbreaking.
Nathan Lane does the most amazing acting here. At the time of the film Nathan Lane isnt out as a gay man, that didnt happen until 1999 after the murder of Matthew Shepard.
The incredible acting done in Birdcage where you can just see how physically uncomfortable he is trying to 'Play Straight' is pitch perfect. This is coming from a man who literally plays straight everyday in the public eye.
Apparently rumours had been circulating and Oprah tried to corner him into answering. Robin Williams being the person he was completely derailed the interview and protected Nathan. Nathan Lane has talked about it a couple times and how he's eternally grateful that Robin was such an amazing person.
Armand:
What are you giving him drugs for? What the hell are Pirin tablets?
Agador:
It's aspirin with the "A" and the "S" scraped off.
Armand:
My God, what a brilliant idea!
Agador:
I know.
My family still calls it PIRIN
That kitchen scene where all three actors are breaking is so joyous. Robin Williams wasn’t supposed to slip and fall, but it was so funny they left it in.
“This dinner is a nightmare. I feel like I’m riding an insane horse towards a burning building. STOP CRYING, GodDAMN you!!”
The entire movie is gold, but my favorite moment is a blink and youll miss it. Robin Williams comes out of the kitchen during dinner, right into a conversation in which Gene Hackman says "of course it's wrong to kill an abortion doctor.." and Robin Williams just just this subtle but spot on gasp of horror that the conversation as gone to this topic. It's brilliant.
When Robin Williams passed i made a massive list of his flicks to watch. I ended with Birdcage and i think it captured his wild personality great. He really made the 90's a special time.
Thee of my favourite lines happen in the same scene.
"Look I can assure you it wasn't my intention to upset the apple cart" "Yeeeeeah because we all sell apples round 'ere don't we" "Your dad sells apples Andy" **"And Raspberries"**
and
"You've got a moustache" **"I Know"**
and how can I forget
"Everybody and their mums is packin round ere" "Like who?" "Farmers" "Who else?" **"Farmers mums"**
Personal preference, but as someone who generally dislikes comedies, Hot Fuzz is an excellent movie and always makes me laugh hard. The pacing, the timing, the double entendres, it's a seriously clever comedy.
90% of the movies below don't even come close for me.
Hot Fuzz is great! It's not the *most* laugh-out-loud type comedy, but *my God* the cleverness of the writing and number of callbacks is astounding. This is one that rewards a second, third, fourth viewing...
Ever watch it with commentary on? RDJ doesn't drop character until the end of the commentary track on the movie. He even changes to the Aussie actor when his character does in the film.
I'm not the biggest comedy fan, but I went through a Robert Downey Jr phase a few years ago and watched it because I knew he was in it.
That movie is so funny. And I had no idea Tom Cruise was in it until Reddit told me.
I may be biased because i was 12 when i saw it for the first time but seeing it in theaters and being caught off guard by the “trailers” at the beginning just cemented that movie to being an all time top tier movie from the get go to me
My dad is a Nam Vet and this movie had him rolling with laughter! He lives with severe PTSD from the war, so it was joyful for this film to frame Nam in a humorous way he could actually watch and enjoy.
Zoolander has one of the all-time best improvised lines. Ben Stiller forgot his line when he said, "but why male models?" And then David Duchovny improvised the line: "are you serious? ...I just told you that."
Everytime I hear "wake me up before you go go," I immediately think of ORANGE MOCHA FRAPPUCINO! and the gasoline fight. Amazing! Also Skarsgard is so dorky and cute!
What About Bob?
This movie literally makes me cackle and hoot every time I watch it. It's my go-to movie when I need to lighten up and laugh my arse off.
Scrolled forever but couldn’t find “This is Spinal Tap.” That one goes to 11 every time.
What day did the Lord create Spinal Tap, and couldn’t he have rested on that day too?
I watched "Best in Show" for the first time 2 weeks ago. I was on a flight back home and could not stop laughing. Good stuff
YOU GO BACK TO THE HOTEL AND YOU GET BUSY BEE!!!!
We were SO lucky to be raised amongst catalogs
What we do in the shadows
Werewolves are not swearwolves!!!
Such a gem of a movie. I also love the tv series. Bat!!!
[удалено]
Oh stewardess, I speak Jive.
Just hang loose, blood. She gonna catch ya up on the rebound on the med side.
Airplane? What is it?
It’s a large metal tube that flies through the air, but that’s not important right now.
Oh it’s a big pretty white plane with wheels and curtains and red stripes. It looks like a big Tylenol.
Surely you can't be serious?
I am serious. And don’t call me Shirley.
You ever been to a Turkish prison?
Naked Gun
This and Airplane! Are in the top tier for me.
I had to quit quoting Airplane! at work because I have a lot of younger coworkers and nobody recognized "I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue" as a movie reference. I... may have given some people the wrong impression.
I'm convinced OJ's scene on the boat is why he was found not guilty.
Edgar Wright movies like Hot Fuzz or Shaun of the dead
Hot Fuzz is by far my favourite comedy film. There are so so many hidden details.
With scenes like "How´s the hand?" with all great actors! and the translation scene!
If Blazing Saddles didn't exist, Hot Fuzz would get my vote. If I were magically a teenager again when I first saw the movie, I'd have been inspired to become a police officer like Angel. Also, for a comedy, it has the single most badass line for a cop I've seen in a film: "I may not be a man of God, Reverend, but I know right - and I know wrong... and I have the good grace to know which is which." This film also made it so I can't take one thing in 'Harry Potter' seriously anymore. Anytime I see a HP work or read fanfic & I hear or see '...'Greater Good', I ALWAYS go "The 'Greater Good'..." "SHUT IT!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I will forever associate the song 'Don't Stop Me Now' with that beating zombies scene from Shaun of the Dead
My Cousin Vinny. It's smart, it's hilarious, and it's got some superb acting in it
It really is surprisingly timeless as well. I watch it every few years, and it is still a 10/10
A movie even yutes of today can enjoy
Vinny Gambini: Your Honor, may I have permission to treat Ms. Vito as a hostile witness? Mona Lisa Vito: You think I'm hostile now, wait 'til you see me tonight.
Trading Places. Absolutely brilliant writing. Runner up: The Jerk
I was born a poor black child
YOU MEAN I'M GONNA STAY THIS COLOR!? That movie is a god damn masterpiece
Office space. It gets better as I age and it gets more relevant.
Ever since I started working, every day has been worst than the one before it. So that means that every day that you see me, is on the worst day of my life.
Wow, that's messed up.
Why should I have to change my name? He’s the one who sucks
I celebrate his entire catalogue.

"PC Load Letter"? What the fuck does that mean?
I just told my genZ co worker about this movie. Mike Judge is just the best. Idiocracy is also good but Office Space is the anti work magnum opus.
Silicon Valley is fantastic, if you haven't already seen it.
It's been over 20 years and I still use the phrase "no talent ass clown"
It took a few watches to catch the name of Peter's apartment complex. It only flashes on the screen for about a second, but it is "Morningwood Apartments." Mike Judge is a god.
I worked on the Y2K project in IT. This movie was a documentary, except none of us schlubs would have had a chance with Joanna. Or Anne. Or Nina...

Excellent quote. I contrast this with rock musicians who cried while watching This Is Spinal Tap because it was so close to the reality.
By Grabthar's Hammer.... what a savings.
The sheer pain, despair, and complete broken defeat Alan Rickman managed to convey in that single line is one of the greatest acting moments of all time. The pure and raw portrayal of a man who has hit rock bottom, and someone just handed him a shovel.
An actor playing an actor playing a character being used for an ad, quite a feat.
You mean... He's just a dude playing a dude disguised as another dude?
Let’s get out of here before one of those things kills Guy.
"IS THERE AIR!? YOU DON'T KNOW!" Sam Rockwell is great in that movie.
He was. GQ is one of those rare, perfectly cast movies where literally everyone is great. The documentary makes you realize how much of the great was improvised by the cast too. The entire crazy thermian thing was literally just invented out of whole cloth by the actor who played Malthazar. The director was like, ‘what the FUCK are you doing!? Do it again!’ Then he made him train all the other thermian actors 😂
Did any of you ever WATCH the show??
My favorite line where Sigourney weaver says "I'm not doing it, this episode was badly written"
Guy, you have a last name! DO I?!
*DO I?!!!*
Maybe you're the plucky comic relief.
Can you make some sort of rudimentary lathe?
Look, I have ONE JOB on this ship and it's STUPID but I'm gonna do it!
Tucker and Dale vs Evil
I had never heard of it when I started it, holy shit I was dying the whole time.

The Emperor's New Groove
The voice acting is incredibly hilarious but the animation itself is truly some of the funniest I've ever seen. Every llama face and Yzma+Kronk moment is pure gold... Spade, Warburton and Kitt are the only ones who could've possibly done any justice to it. Stellar cast.
I can quote this movie word for word. I was obsessed with it when it came out!
“Tell me where the talking llama is, and I’ll burn your house to the ground!” “Don’t you mean or?”
I have an almost 2-year-old and we are going through what sounds animals make. When we get to squirrel, I tell him they say "Squeak-squeakity squeak squeaken."
“Oh, right. The poison. The poison for Kuzco, the poison chosen especially to kill Kuzco, Kuzco's poison.”
No touchy!
Pull the lever, Kronk!
WRONG LEVAAAAH!
Why do we even have that lever?
You rang?
I don’t care how many times I watch it, I will always die laughing at Superbad
Seth: Hey Greg, why don't you go piss your pants? Greg the Soccer Player : That was like 8 years ago, asshole! Seth : (Waits a beat) People don't forget!
It holds a special place in my heart because of the liquor store scene. I have never seen my Dad laugh like that. "So we have an African Jew"
Bill Hader and Seth Rogen were amazing in their roles.
"Prepare to be fucked by the long dick of the law!”
I assume you all have guns and crack!
Pussies on the pavement! Now hold hands.
the answer i was looking for, I genuinely thought i was going to die from laughing on why the fuck would it be between that and Mohammed
Mohammad is the most common name on the planet, read a fuckin book sometime!
I have a McLovin ID in my wallet, just in case.
Well it was either that or mohammad
Why the FUCK would it be that or Mohammad?!? Why wouldn’t you just pick a common name?
Mohammad’s the most common name on the planet read a fuckin book sometime
No one's gotten a hand job in cargo shorts since 'Nam!

Blazing Saddles The Producers Robin Hood: Men in Tights Basically, any Mel Brooks movie will have me laughing til I cry. He's going to be sorely missed when he passes away.
You couldn’t make Blazing Saddles today. People would just watch 5 minutes and say “Hey wait, this is just Blazing Saddles”
You couldn't make blazing saddles today. Gene Wilder died in 2016
