![]() Hey! I was looking at the “memorable quotes” section in the IMDb and found these quotes. ![]() I saw a Bob Hope movie (Road to… umm somthing) a few months ago and was amazed at how funny it was (since I always thought Bob Hope was boring as crud.) But no one else would know any lines from the movie, so it fades in memory.īut when I say “No thank you! 15 schitzengruben is my limit!” or “Blessed are the cheesemakers.”, someone in the crowd chuckles. There are loads of old movies that are being omitted from this list and some would say that isn’t right, but the old movies, no mater how funny, all lack a critical mass of modern audience. (Which is potentially a made up word in this context.) By that I mean that BS, Grail, Brian, Airplane, etc all are so widely known that given the proper demographics you can use quotes from said movies in a crowd of strangers and have at least three people chime in with the line that follows. But it lacks one crucial ingredient for me, which is universality. Airplane and Office Space are more my speed.īetter Off Dead is a great movie with many good quotes : “Do you realize the street value of this mountain?!?!”. Write me off as a casualty of taste, I guess. But Blazing Saddles is hysterical pretty much the whole way through! Is it weird for me to expect that I would react similarly to the two? I’m fully willing to admit that it’s simply a matter of taste. Sorry, I can’t even work up a chuckle for these jokes – I thought that the horse-whinny broke the (already slow) pacing, for example. There’s a lot of wonderful jokes, and a surprising number of them that aren’t manic, but delivered so deadpan you don’t see it coming. There, castle.” “Why are you talking like that?” “I thought you wanted to.” “I don’t.” “Suit yourself, I’m easy.”Īnd, of course, the horses whinnying whenever Frau Blucher says her name. “Werewolf!” “Werewolf?!” “There.” “What?” “There, wolf. “No matter what I say, no matter how much I order you…do NOT OPEN this door.” Paraphrased, of course. Sure, pick the reasonably mediocre jokes for your examples.
