Best: At the New Beverly, during a screening of <i>Switchblade Sisters</i>, a couple of guys started to argue about seating. Just as things escalate in the aisles, a main character gets killed on-screen. Some guy from the audience yells out to the two guys, "Would you guys cut it out? Don's dead damnit!" Everyone cracked up.

Worst: Again, at the New Bev, some fat kid behind me kept making REALLY lame jokes during a screening of Cannibal Holocaust. And he kept going "Bbbeewww" (like the music cue that plays throughout the film) all the friggin' time.

I was loudly booing X-Men: The Last Stand once the credits started, and some idiot turns to me and yells back "ARE YOU KIDDING!? THAT WAS THE BEST MOVIE EVER!" I just looked at him thinking, "this movie sucked."

Oh, and RE: "Would you guys cut it out? Don's dead, dammit!" :lol:

seeing a midnight screening of episode 2. After about 2 hours of waiting. Lights go out, loud applause, commercials start, a loud boo is heard, after that, the trailers start, someone yells out 'We want fucking star wars!!!' Loud laughter and applause is after that.

Watching the Quest with Van Damm at Universal Mall Cinemark with my buddy Jeff and having a 200 pound black woman next to him going "UUMMM" and "OOOH YEAHHH!"everytime Van Damm took his shirt off and also two black guys behind us yelling out "DAMM, DEY GONNA JACK DA DRAGON".

When I saw The X-Files (1998) in a packed house, this teenage girl next to me gasped out loud and exclaimed "It's Armin Mueller-Stahl!" when he showed up on screen. It seemed like such an odd thing to get excited about, I cracked up. Later, right after she whispered to herself, "Freeze frame. Roll credits." which made me laugh just as hard.

1. When the Star Wars prequels came out, and the Lucas logo appeared at the beginning, people cheered...but there was always someone that shouted "GEEEKS!"

2. During the end of 10,000 B.C., there was a dude that did the perfectly placed "NOOOOO" during a certain death scene...he also did a great job on the warrior voices when all the different silly warrior languages appeared...

Why would anyone laugh? It's not as if it was funny? WTF?

The time I remember the most was in the first Jason Bourne movie just as the main car chase is about to start someone yelled "Go Jason Bourne!" Annoying at the time, hilarious in retrospect.

I find this hilarious.

Zorro when the Dons are getting together, "Don Raphael, Don Montego..." Someone shouts out "Don Pablos"

Yeah not that funny but basically the only one I really remember.

good thread.

and I'm not for talking at the theater, but if it's by someone who clearly wasn't "trying" to be funny, and really in the moment, I think it's okay. it's like something bigger than yourself takes over, like it was fate.

and trailers are fair game.

I don't know why but I remember there was a scene in 8MM that wasn't supposed to be funny but everyone just started dying laughing.

the last time I cracked up for no reason was during Dan in Real Life, when the family shows up at the bowling alley. it was supposed to be serious I think, but I couldn't stop laughing for the rest of the scene.

From an opening day showing of Superman II at the (now demolished) Chris-town theaters in Phoenix.

Superman has taken Lois Lane to the Fortress and is about to step into the machine that will remove his powers.

Someone in the audience yelled out, "Don't do it, Superman!"

From the hysterical laughter that erupted (mine included), I'd say most people agreed with his sentiment.

Great thread...here's mine.

During Spiderman 3 midight showing, when MJ "breaks up" with Peter on the bridge, the theater was super quiet. Some guy in the back yells "screw her man, you're Spiderman!"

When I saw Predator a guy a few rows in front of me kept saying "Sheet, dat's infa red, man" every time we were treated to Predator-vision, along with other random nonsense throughout the picture. Eventually, I called out "SHUT THE FUCK UP!" and was greeted with applause.

I used to work at a theater and when the Dungeon's and Dragons movie came out, there were all kinds of people who came dressed up for it and were treating it like a big time premiere. Anyway, part way through the movie, you could just feel how upset the fans of the franchise were. Finally some dude yelled out "I wanna see a fucking fireball!!!" and that had the crowd cheering.

Back just before the remastered original Star Wars trilogy theatrical re-releases, a preview of "Star Wars" played, showing all these rapid fire newly cgi'd scenes, culminating in the final SPOILER! praxis-styled death star explosion, at which point, someone very sarcastically, and enthusiastic yelled out "WOW!". Definetely a "you had to be there" thing, but was funny as hell.

Not really a one-liner, but I went to see The Hurricane with Denzel Washington and had a vocal woman behind me. I knew I was in for it during the previews when they showed a preview for Play it to the Bone (the Woody Harrelson/Antonio Banderas boxing comedy) and the she turned to her friend saying "I thought that was the movie we came to see!"

Later in the film, when Washington's character is languishing in prison, she remarked "Well, this movie isn't uplifting at all!"

I too have had the experience where vocal audience members made a blah movie into something fun. I wouldn't want people talking during a serious drama, or shouting and interrupting lines over a comedy - but I think horror is the perfect audience participation genre, and shouts and other noise can make a bad horror flick into something fun.

I remember seeing Jeepers Creepers, and was starting to bum out at how mundane it was until this woman in the second row started screaming, "He the Devil!!!" She kept on and it encouraged other people to scream at the movie, and it started to become really fun.

Too bad they didn't shout "Don Corleone"!

I enjoyed this thread quite a bit. I haven't had any such experience though. Lots of loudmouths but nothing funny.

I saw Hellboy with a group of friends. And when Myers stood on the B.P.R.D. logo, and it turned out to be an elevator taking him down, my friend yelled out..."Hellevator!" In hindsight, probably not the funniest thing ever, but at the time it was very funny.

And this isn't a one-liner or anything, but one time my friends and I went to the movie theater to see Fantastic Four. We saw this kid from our class that we didn't really like and wanted to do something to embarrass him. So I suggested having one of our friends that worked at the theater come in and announce to the theater that this kid's mom had dropped off his diarrhea medicine. So, we had our friend come in during the previews and he yelled so the whole theater could hear..."__________, your mother dropped off your diarrhea medicine at the front desk. _________, your diarrhea medicine is at the front desk." The entire theater burst out in laughter and the kid ran out very embarrassed.

Not really a one-liner, but I'll tell this one anyway. I went with a bunch of my friends to see Munich. And we got the biggest tub of popcorn because there were so many people and you get free refills with it. I dunno how I came up with it, but I decided it'd be funny to pretend to fall and spill my popcorn everywhere and then run out of the theater in a really embarrassed way. So during the previews (I wouldn't interrupt the movie for this type of thing) I walked near the front and tripped myself, thus throwing my popcorn everywhere (I did feel kinda bad for making a mess). I got up and ran out and could hear the theater laughing. I promptly refilled the popcorn and returned.

not overly funny but only real moment i can recall was a special screening of xmen 3 my brother in law and his nerd friends had an extra ticket so i went with him...needless to say we got there way to early and it was like walking in a theatre full of screeches *fill in any fond on screen nerd you like to* discussing the differences ofthe movies and comics and how they messed this up. an hour into the movie or so someone got tired of the ongoing bickering and got up and told the crowd "jesus shut the F up and enjoy it or wait to go home and bitch when you and ur online buddies play a game of dungeon and dragons" he got boo'ed out and i got up and clapped and got boo'ed myself..we still hang out since then

Speaking of Spider-man 3, my buddies and I saw it opening morning at a 6am IMAX screening. When Peter slaps MJ in the jazz club, everyone in the theater was quiet and my friend screams out, "GIMME MY MONEY BITCH." Easily the best moment of what was a lackluster sequel.

Another one that I remember is opening weekend of the remake of The Ring. The film's final shots are that of the "doomed" video tape and someone screamed out, "We're fucked!"

A similar one to that was during The Blair Witch Project where a guy screamed out that he just shit himself during the film's final few minutes.

Cinemark started opening theaters in the Dallas area in the mid 90s or so. I remember just thinking their mascot Front Row Joe and his cat crew was just the lamest thing ever. I groaned nearly every time I went to the theater and saw the ads. I think I went to see Copland and this dude yells out during the Front Row Joe ad "That cat makes me want to kill myself!!!" The entire theater was laughing, and i had a feeling Front Row Joe was universally hated.

This wasn't at a movie but at a hockey game. Right before the final minute of the period some guy yells out behind me "How much time is left?" and then the announcer broadcasts, "One minute left in the period." Ok, well I guess you had to be there but it was pretty damn funny.

awesome.

During the same movie, when Juggernaut rams his head through the wall and gets knocked out, my friend, without realizing he was saying it out loud, said "Helmet Test!" Some laughed, some annoyed.

Nothing really funny but a few stories:

Near fight during 'Powder'... guy behind me is making comments throughout, this big guy next to me tells him to be quiet. This is met with an "F-you", I don't remember exactly what was said right after but it ended with "..I'll tear your head off boy." The punk behind me gets up and yells "F-you!" as he walks out.

Also opening night for The Mummy, we got the Star Wars preview...during the final moments of it some guy yells at the top of his lungs "Staaaar Waaaaaars!" The entire theater erupted in cheers. Haven't heard anything like that since.

Had a couple good ones tonight during Iron Man.

I was wearing a Clerks T-shirt and I'm going to the bathroom before the previews and this guy maybe 17 or 18 or so is just like "AWESOME SHIRT!" Seemed like a cool kid...

During a Diet Coke commercial, they had a woman moving in a painting and my cousin just flat-out says at normal volume, "What. The. Fuck?" The crew started cracking up.

And throughout every time Jeff Bridges was on screen I was snickering some line from Lebowski [not out loud] (i.e. during an action scene, "This aggression will not stand!"). In one scene, Bridges' character is talking to a scientist who says "I'm not Tony Stark!" and I just say right back "But you're the Dude, man!" Got some pretty good laughs from that crowd.

Man those first two cracked me up so bad my ribs are hurting. To be honest i have never been at a movie where anyone has shouted anything. Maybe i should start shouting to make up for it.

Funny one liners... well i think this one was directed to me but at the midnight showing of Star Wars Episode 3 i got my seat in the middle with the best view of the screen....

Guy wanted to fit 5 people in the row and wanted me to move down 6 spots... i declined and he said "dude come on its a movie" i said " then why dont you sit in the front" so he left.... but it gets better... the girl infront said "good for you...he was probably a nerd who likes to sit in the middle"

rotfl....

When the Pink Panther 2 teaser came on during Kung Fu Panda last night, I said out loud (but not loud enough for everyone to hear) "Why don't you act funny again?" at Steve Martin's presence.

the 2nd time i went to see 'The Sixth Sense' in the theatre, a friend bought the ticket for the repeat so i would go... well about a third of the way through the film i stood up and shouted out:

Bruce is already dead from that gunshot wound!!! remember he got shot??? and the kid talks to dead people??? well Bruce is dead and doesn't know it like all the other dead people that talk to the kid!!!

the audience roared with laughter and applause...

good times...

Ya know in other countries they execute you for that :grunt:

During Vantage Point some kid in front of us leaned over to his buddy and asked him: "What's a potus?"

Those of us within earshot chuckled at him.

Aside from the apparent terribly long narration, what's wrong with you? "Apparent" because I find it difficult to believe someone would seriously take the effort to stand up, and keep standing for that long just to screw up everyone elses experience.

I think you're on the right track. definitely sounds like a made up story.

a while after Nightmare On Elm St.: Freddy's Revenge came out, i went to a drive-in showing w/friends - during the summer

most people were in convertibles or had their windows rolled down

after one of the more gruesome offings by Mr. Krueger, someone who sounded extremely inebriated yelled out.. "hey! rewind that!!"

i chuckled

Usually I hate when people crack lame jokes during a movie, but there was one instance that had me cracking up.

During a showing of "The Passion of the Christ", when Jesus was being nailed to the cross, some guy in the back of the theater began singing "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life".
