Favorite "quotable" comedy?
 

I did this before, thought it would be good here. What's your favorite comedy you quote lines from over and over? One from which you and your buddies could easily act out scenes verbatim. Not to include stand up concert films which deserve a poll all their own. Only had ten spots

Honorable mentions: Princess Bride,Stripes, Spinal Tap, The Jerk, Bachelor Party, Friday, Big Lebowski, Dumb and Dumber, P.C.U, Raising Arizona, Sixteen Candles, Planes, Trains and Automobiles, Bad Santa.

Caddyshack is definitely up there.

But The Big Lebowski has withstood the test of time with me and my friends.

"Hey, I got a beverage here!":)

I find myself quoting from Super Troopers a lot.

"Do you boys like Mex-i-co?"
"I am all that is man!"
"Yeah, I'll have a liter-a-cola."
"I swear to God I'm going to pistol whip the next guy who says 'Shenanigans.'"
"It's the latest in Afghanistanimation!"
"Say Car Ramrod!"
"Ha, lucky guess. I just lost a dollar. To myself!"

And so much more!

For me:

Office Space, Clerks, Big Lebowski, Dumb & Dumber, Austin Powers (all) and Friday.

Office Space for me.

I said Monty Python and the Quest for the Holy Grail.


In fact, this Friday the movie came up somehow, and the whole day me and another guy were just busting out quotes to each other.



"I'm not dead!"

"I told you, we're an anarcho-syndicist commune, we take it in turns to act as a sort of executive officer for the week."

"King Arthur: Now stand aside, worthy adversary.
The Black Knight: 'Tis but a scratch.
King Arthur: A scratch?! Your arm's off.
The Black Knight: No it isn't.
King Arthur: Then what's that then.
The Black Knight: I've had worse "

"Run away!"

"Every time I try to talk to someone it's "sorry this" and "forgive me that" and "I'm not worthy"

"Peasant 2: She turned me into a newt!
Bedevere: A newt?
Peasant 2: I got better"


Argh...so many.

Perhaps one of my most favorite:

"Help! Help! I'm being repressed! Come see the violence inherent in the system! Violence inherent in the system!"

The Big Lebowski.

The Dude: And, you know, he's got emotional problems, man.
Walter: You mean... beyond pacifism?

Those are all great movies and excellent choices, but my absolute favorite would have to be Fast Times at Ridgemont High.

Caddyshack, Airplane, Stripes, Blazing Saddles, and Holy Grail are all great, quotable movies, but none of them even come close to the quotableness of The Princess Bride.

"No more rhymes now, I mean it!"
"Anybody want a peanut?"


"There's a shortage of perfect breasts in this world. It would be a
pity to damage yours."


"My brains, his steel and your strength against sixty men and you think a little head jiggle is supposed to make me happy? Hmm??"


"I'm on the brute squad!"
"You ARE the brute squad!"


"I didn't mean to jog him so hard."


"Bye-bye, boys! Have fun stormin' the castle!"
"Do you think it'll work?"
"It'd take a miracle."


"Who are you?"
"No one of consequence."
"I must know."
"Get used to disappoinment."


"Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die."
"STOP SAYING THAT!"


I could go on... and on... and on... ;)

I also quote Super Troopers more that any other movie.

Pulp Fiction (I consider it a comedy)

I voted for Animal House, best comedy ever IMO, but I would also have to mention The Big Lebowski. "You got a date Wednesday baby!!"

Back to the Future

Me and my friends quote a ton of movies all the time. Some of our favorites include The Money Pit, Ghostbusters, Kingpin, Christmas Vacation, etc.

Couldn't pick a favorite though.

Office Space, Old School, Super Troopers, Clerks and Swingers quotes is all you'd hear on the guys floor in my dorm building last year.

Airplane or Office Space....

I hear or use those lines daily.

Caddyshack
Airplane
Blazing Saddles

but my fave to quote is Young Frankenstein

3 amigos has a couple of lines that make me laugh

Can't go wrong with ****ing a stranger in the ass!

Army of Darkness.

"I got news for you pal. You ain't leadin but two things right now, Jack and Shit, and Jack left town."

"Maybe, just maybe, my boys could stop them from gettin' the book. Yeah, and maybe I'm a chinese jet pilot."

"This is my BOOMSTICK!"

"Hail to the king, baby."

It's too damn hard to vote off of what you listed, why? Becasuse there are great lines in everyone of them and I love them all equally.

Note: This has got to be one of the most heart felt replies in a long time.

Big Lebowski

PLANES, TRAINS & AUTOMOBILES for me...

Or the edited for television version "This is what happens when you FIND A STRANGER IN THE ALPS!"

Honestly, that's what it is. :lol:

Other:

The Players Club.... Bernie Mac had great lines
A Rage in Harlem... George Wallace had great lines

Fast Times at Ridgemont High

Spinal Tap has got to be the most quotable movie ever:

Marty DiBergi: David St. Hubbins... I must admit I've never heard anybody with that name.
David St. Hubbins: It's an unusual name, well, he was an unusual saint, he's not a very well known saint.
Marty DiBergi: Oh, there actually is, uh... there was a Saint Hubbins?
David St. Hubbins: That's right, yes.
Marty DiBergi: What was he the saint of?
David St. Hubbins: He was the patron saint of quality footwear.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Nigel is playing a soft piece on the piano]
Marty DiBergi: It's very pretty.
Nigel Tufnel: You know, just simple lines intertwining, you know, very much like - I'm really influenced by Mozart and Bach, and it's sort of in between those, really. It's like a Mach piece, really. It's sort of...
Marty DiBergi: What do you call this?
Nigel Tufnel: Well, this piece is called "Lick My Love Pump."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lt. Hookstratten: May I start by saying how thrilled we are to have you here. We are such fans of your music and all of your records. I'm not speaking of yours personally, but the whole genre of the rock and roll.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Asked by a reporter if this is the end of Spinal Tap]
David St. Hubbins: Well, I don't really think that the end can be assessed as of itself as being the end because what does the end feel like? It's like saying when you try to extrapolate the end of the universe, you say, if the universe is indeed infinite, then how - what does that mean? How far is all the way, and then if it stops, what's stopping it, and what's behind what's stopping it? So, what's the end, you know, is my question to you.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mick Shrimpton: As long as there's, you know, sex and drugs, I can do without the rock and roll.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Reading a review of Spinal Tap's latest album]
Marty DiBergi: "This pretentious ponderous collection of religious rock psalms is enough to prompt the question, 'What day did the Lord create Spinal Tap, and couldn't he have rested on that day too?'"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
David St. Hubbins: I do not, for one, think that the problem was that the band was down. I think that the problem *may* have been, that there was a Stonehenge monument on the stage that was in danger of being *crushed* by a *dwarf*. Alright? That tended to understate the hugeness of the object.
Ian Faith: I really think you're just making much too big a thing out of it.
Derek Smalls: Making a big thing out of it would have been a good idea.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
David St. Hubbins: We say, "Love your brother." We don't say it really, but...
Nigel Tufnel: We don't literally say it.
David St. Hubbins: No, we don't say it.
Nigel Tufnel: We don't really, actually mean it.
David St. Hubbins: No, we don't believe it either, but...
Nigel Tufnel: But we're not racists.
David St. Hubbins: But that message should be clear.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nigel Tufnel: You can't really dust for vomit.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
David St. Hubbins: It's such a fine line between stupid, and clever.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
David St. Hubbins: Well, I'm sure I'd feel much worse if I weren't under such heavy sedation.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
David St. Hubbins: Dozens of people spontaneously combust each year. It's just not really widely reported.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nigel Tufnel: It's like, how much more black could this be? and the answer is none. None more black.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nigel Tufnel: The numbers all go to eleven. Look, right across the board, eleven, eleven, eleven and...
Marty DiBergi: Oh, I see. And most amps go up to ten?
Nigel Tufnel: Exactly.
Marty DiBergi: Does that mean it's louder? Is it any louder?
Nigel Tufnel: Well, it's one louder, isn't it? It's not ten. You see, most blokes, you know, will be playing at ten. You're on ten here, all the way up, all the way up, all the way up, you're on ten on your guitar. Where can you go from there? Where?
Marty DiBergi: I don't know.
Nigel Tufnel: Nowhere. Exactly. What we do is, if we need that extra push over the cliff, you know what we do?
Marty DiBergi: Put it up to eleven.
Nigel Tufnel: Eleven. Exactly. One louder.
Marty DiBergi: Why don't you just make ten louder and make ten be the top number and make that a little louder?
Nigel Tufnel: [Pause] These go to eleven.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Nigel Tufnel is showing Marty DiBergi one of his favorite guitars]
Nigel Tufnel: The sustain, listen to it.
Marty DiBergi: I don't hear anything.
Nigel Tufnel: Well you would though, if it were playing.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Derek Smalls sets off a metal detector at the airport]
Airport Security Officer: Do you have any artificial plates or limbs?
Derek Smalls: Er, not really.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[reading a review of the album "Shark Sandwich"]
Marty DiBergi: The review for "Shark Sandwich" was merely a two word review which simply read "Shit Sandwich".

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Derek Smalls: It's like fire and ice, basically. I feel my role in the band is to be somewhere in the middle of that, kind of like lukewarm water.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Marty DiBergi: "This tasteless cover is a good indication of the lack of musical invention within. The musical growth of this band cannot even be charted. They are treading water in a sea of retarded sexuality and bad poetry."
Nigel Tufnel: That's just nitpicking, isn't it?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[When asked what happened to their first drummer]
David St. Hubbins: He died in a bizarre gardening accident...
Nigel Tufnel: Authorities said... best leave it... unsolved.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ian Faith: The Boston gig has been cancelled...
David St. Hubbins: What?
Ian Faith: Yeah. I wouldn't worry about it though, it's not a big college town.

Memorable Quotes from
Dracula: Dead and Loving It (Mel Brooks, 1995)

trailer: (not available on DVD, yet)
http://www.videodetective.com/home.a...alse&Play=TRUE

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Renfield (to the peasants at the inn urging him not to travel by night): But you don't understand. I'm expected. I'm scheduled [pronounced the British way] to meet Count Dracula.
First peasant: Count Dracula?!
Peasant woman: Count Dracula?!
Second peasant: Count Dracula?!
Third peasant: Scheduled [pronounced the British way]?!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Renfield (in bed, watching Dracula's brides lasciviously rub their heaving bosoms on his bedposts): Ladies! What are you doing to the furniture?!...
(later, as they rub against him): Who are you people?!... I'll have you know that's my knee you're straddling! Stop it this instant! This is wrong! Wrong! ... Oh! Wrong me... wrong me... wrong the bejeesus out of me!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dracula: Renfield, you were having a nightmare.
Renfield: A nightmare? But it was so real, so vivid. Two voluptuous women, heaving and grinding. How to describe it.
[pause]
Renfield: Have you ever been to Paris?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Dracula is hypnotizing a female valet at the theatre where Doctor Seward is enjoying an opera.]
Dracula: You vill tell Doctor Seward there is a message for him in the lobby... and you will remember nothing of what I tell you.
[The valet goes to open Seward's chambers and nods her head. She opens the curtain to Seward's chambers and stands there with her mouth open for a few moments, then closes the curtain.]
Valet: [noticing Dracula standing there] Can I help you sir?
Dracula: [mimicking her] Can I help you sir?
[normally]
Dracula: What was that all about, why didn't you tell him?
Valet: About what?
Dracula: The message!
Valet: What message?
Dracula: Never mind! I vill tell him myself. And for your miserable performance, you will get no tip!
Valet: No tip?
Dracula: Ah! That, you remember!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dr. Seward (about a troubled patient): Give him an enema.
Male nurse: An enema, sir?
Dr. Seward: It will give him a sense of accomplishment.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dr. Seward (about Renfield) : Put him in a straitjacket and give him an enema!
Male nurse: An enema, sir?
Dr. Seward: On second thought, give him an enema first, then put him in a straitjacket!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Van Helsing (at Mina's bedside): We must find ways of protecting her from further attacks by the fampire!
Dr. Seward: Would an enema help?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------Lover at Picnic: Would you care for some wine?
Dracula: I never drink wine... oh, what the hell. Let me try it.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jonathan Harker (in Lucy's tomb): She's alive?
Van Helsing: She's Nosferatu.
Jonathan Harker: She's Italian?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jonathan Harker: [having just been told to drive a stake into Lucy] Oh, this is horrid. Is there no other way?
Van Helsing: Well, we could cut off her head, stuff her mouth with garlic, and tear off her ears.
Jonathan Harker: Give me the stake. No. No, I can't... you do it.
Van Helsing: It must be done by one who loved her in life.
Jonathan Harker: I only liked her.
Van Helsing: Close enough.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dr. Seward: Allow me to introduce Professor Abraham Van Helsing. He's a doctor of rare diseases as well as a man of theology and philosophy.
Van Helsing: And gynecology.
Dr. Seward: Oh, I didn't know you have your hand in that, too.

Blazing Saddles and Airplane.

Of those listed, Holy Grail for me.

Some pretty good choices so far. I would add "Sixteen Candles" to the list. So many memorable lines.

"Of course my girlfriend likes to sleep above the covers...4 feet above the covers!"

definately definately

Princess Bride

Nothing is more quotable then that movie.

Jeez, so many movies to quote from.....

I agree with Daytripper about Sixteen candles, but then again about any comedy from the 80s I quote from regularly. Caddyshack is probably the most I quote from, especially on the golf course.

No mention of Real Genius, so I'll throw out a few of my favs:

"I was thinking of the immortal words of Socrates who said, 'I drank what?'"

"Stop playing with yourself" "It is God!"

The Big Lebowski

Lebowski


...'nuff said.

Lebowski Lebowski?

Walter Sobchak: Those rich ****s! This whole ****ing thing... I did not watch my buddies die face down in the muck so that this ****ing strumpet...

The Dude: I don't see any connection to Vietnam, Walter.

Walter Sobchak: Well, there isn't a literal connection, Dude.

The Dude: Walter, face it, there isn't any connection.
