Funny movie lines for no reason
 

Some movies are just funny. Funny in a way that even those who don't find it amusing know it's going for the funny bone (and no, not funny like a clown.)

I was watching The Good Girl last night (LOVE it...my kind of "slice of life/human beings with faults and all" movie.)

In the part where Justine tells her husband "Gwen died today" he replies "What? What for?"

I don't know why, but the "what for" still has me chuckling.

Any examples that make you laugh?

I am compelled to say them all the time. But not on command.

It's much too perilous

Princess Bride: That'sthhhh.....incontheivable!

And I am always compelled to scream out, Wiiiilson!!! WILSON!!! (Tom Hanks to his friend the volleyball)


Sealab (adult swim)
Sparks: So?
Debbie: So shut up.

Master Shake:

Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry I slapped that right out of your hands.

Did you get me my Cheez Wiz, boy?

LOL!!!! That is funny. :lol:

Master Shake is my hero.

Chet (Weird Science): D'you spit in this?

Doc Holiday (Tombstone): "Ah'm your huckleberry."

Dazed and Confused: "Well, why'd you say that, chief?"

The boss was giving shift report. I don't even remember what he was talking about, but the story required a hand gesture ... He cupped his hands together, and moved them away from his body in kind of an exaggerated bouncing motion.

I immediately said, "Put Edwina back in bowl" in a very faux-Indian (ohm Indian, not woo-woo Indian) accent.

The boss' response? "That's exactly what I was trying to say."

Somehow, it was in context. Can't for the life of me remember how. I'm pretty sure that noone's soul was displaced. Or maybe that was what the patient thought was going on ... or. I dunno. But it was really darn funny.

@ flint:

I guess I was referring to lines that aren't particularly funny in and of themselves, or even that they have to be in context. For example, if I were at the local grocery, and someone said "Ruthie Puthie died" and someone else said "What for?" I would find that really funny.

If someone else said "Why did Ruthie Puthie cross the road" and someone else replied "To get to the chicken" I would not find that funny but I would know that the person saying it thought it was hilarious.

Hell, maybe I am drunk right now!

What wolf said.

My husband and I often say "See what happens, Larry?" to each other when we do something stupid.

Or "Bring my my crown!" (from the Attila made for TV movie)

Not a movie line, but "What did you learn?" by Stewie Griffin kills me.
"Very flattering in the, uh, crotchal region"
"Wash this"
"Excuse me, bearfucker, do you need assistance?"
"Chickenfucker!! Bwaaak!!"

you're being very un-Dude

when we do something...

un-dudelike:)

Sparks: Hey Debbie, I have something for you.
Debbie: What is it?
Sparks: A book.
Debbie: What's the book?
Sparks: A Modest Proposal.
Debbie: By whom?
Sparks: Johnathon Swift.
Debbie: And what is the book about?
Sparks: Eating babies.

allow myself to introduce...myself.

I'm Richie Cunningham and this is my wife, Oprah.

lol...great examples!

I know what
you're asking yourself,



and the answer is yes,
I have a nickname for my penis.

Blues Brothers. I think I could write the entire script from memory.

Not really a line, but

There Will Be Blood

Right after the last scene. It was kinda like, "see, we told ya so!"

- Would you call me selfish?
- Not to your face.

Still makes me snigger.

Don't you mean "snegro"?

Anyway ---

"You're a sensitive boy, aren't you, Tommy?"

"The goddam Germans ain't got nothin' to do wit it!"

"Anybody know why Ritchie killed Bobby Lupo?"

"You make my asshole itch."

"I haven't been fucked like that since grade school."

My Wife uses one when somebody walks into her -
(yelled) - "MY TIT! YOU BROKE MY TIT!"

[after Paul fires one of his workers]
Paul Moore: Now, if there's anything I can do for you...
Employee: Well, I certainly hope you'll die soon.

from Broadcast News

Because I, am an actor!

Not a movie line, but I remember an old episode of M*A*S*H* where BJ walks into the tent and asks "What's so absorbing, junior?"

Subtle, didn't even use the laugh track.

another one: Hawkeye treats an Ethiopian who then thanks him in Ethiopian. Hawkeye responds: That's Haile Selassie of you. (sp?)

Another TV one. What a difference a few decades make.

Check out this video from Mork and Mindy (circa 1978). Watch the big surprise at the 2 minute mark.

Setup: Exidor is a religious nut who believes in aliens. Mork is an alien.

Here's some swiss cheese and some bullets.

"That's FRONKENSTEEN......
My grandfather's work was dodo!"

'Leave the gun. Take the cannoli.'


Actually, everything is funny for a reason. In this case, the best suited phrase is 'the banality of evil'.

"Jack Deth! The only man I've had sex with!"

I think you're looking for this thread.

Finally, another human being who gets this. I've done this one a bunch of times and people just look at me like, "What bowl? And why does your voice sound like Microsoft's tech support?"

We must be the only Lily Tomlin/Steven Martin fans.

That's hilarious! I was thinking the same thing. Very nice. Also, kudos on the fight club quote.


Here's some interesting trivia about that line...

The original "pillow talk"-scene had Marla saying "I want to have your abortion". When this was objected to by Fox 2000 Pictures President of Production Laura Ziskin, David Fincher said he would change it on the proviso that the new line couldn't be cut. Ziskin agreed and Fincher wrote the replacement line, "I haven't been fucked like that since grade school". When Ziskin saw the new line, she was even more outraged and asked for the original line to be put back, but, as per their deal, Fincher refused.

Meg Swan: We met at Starbucks. Not at the same Starbucks but we saw each other at different Starbucks across the street from each other

From Best in Show (one of the funniest movies EVAH)

Ghostbusters, whaddya want?

Oooh...yeah, Ghostbusters. I love when Bill Murray says "no human could stack books like that" with that wry smile on his face.

Listen. Do you smell something?

One of my favorite movies - and very quotable.

Just posted elsewhere:

Have fun stormin' the castle.

Who would wanna steal bodyparts? Delivered in an appropriately theatrical way by the security guard, just prior to our hero returning to the screen.

Nope, sorry HLJ. That's your thread. Obviously you've never seen Helen Hunt's performance in the critically acclaimed film "Trancers."

Buddy: [out of breath from chasing Michael] Wow, you're fast. I'm glad I caught up to you. I waited 5 hours for you. Why is your coat so big? So, good news - I saw a dog today. Have you seen a dog? You probably have. How was school? Was it fun? Did you get a lot of homework? Huh? Do you have any friends? Do you have a best friend? Does he have a big coat, too?...
-Elf, the movie

"That's gonna leave a mark"

No matter where you go, there you are.

"The military is probably best for him.."
-Spellbound

"They said you was hung!"
"--They was right!"
&
" 'scuze me while I whip this out"
-Blazing Saddles

"They never did turn me into a toad."

--O Brother Where Art Thou

I have a mug that says that ... it has nothing to do with the movie, although I do have both a mug and teeshirt that are directly related to the movie. There are a ton of gems in that one ... "Why is there a watermelon there?" "I'll tell you later."

Another one that just tickles me ... "Turn to the right."

Any Raising Arizona will do. Pretty much any line in the film.

True enough.

"If we had no crawdad, we ate sand."

"Edwina's insides were a rocky place where my seed could find no purchase."

And Huggies are just generally funny.

So many social engagements... so little time.

Those aren't pillows!




[eta] it is now customary in my circle to interject into any uncomfortable silence, or momentary halt to a conversation in response to a bold statement..."How bout them bears?"

Don't you come back here without no baby, Hi.

@ DanaC...Planes Trains and Automobiles? Love it!

I wonder if the carpet matches the pubes?
