The
Dark Knight (2008)
- the "pencil trick" performed after the entrance
of the freakish, maniacal and ghoulish-looking Joker (Heath Ledger),
who quipped: "I
thought my jokes were bad"; he first demonstrated a 'magic
trick' on a table-top to intimidate them - he struck the table
surface with a leaded pencil that stood upright: "How
about a magic trick? I'm gonna make this pencil disappear";
when one of African-American
gang leader Gambol's (Michael Jai White) henchmen approached,
he smashed the guy's head face-first into the pencil - and it
did disappear as he had predicted; he declared: "Ta-daaaa!
It's gone!"

Ashton's (Meryl Streep) incredulous response to Lisle Von Rhuman's
(Isabella Rosselini): "But first, a warning..." after
Madeline has already drunk the potion: "NOW a warning?!"
- the jaw-dropping, award-winning visual effects
used to comic effect, including the "backwards walk"
when Madeline's head was rotated 180 (and later 360) degrees, and
her shocked cry: "My ass! I can see my ass!"
- the blasting of a double-barreled shotgun into
arch rival Helen Sharp's (Goldie Hawn) abdomen (a beaming Madeline:
"These are the things that make life worth living!"),

hole in her stomach, and growling: "Look at me, Ernest! Just
look at me! I'm soaking wet!"
- the bitch fight with shovels between Helen and
Madeline (with her chortle: "You're a walking lie Helen,
and I can see right through you!" while peeking through
the hole)

after falling down the steps, with a disembodied hand annoyedly
drumming its fingers, and Helen muttering: "Do you remember

Defending Your Life (1991)
- in this philosophical comedy, yuppie Daniel Miller's
(Albert Brooks) 39th birthday speech during his office party:

I'll try")
- his screaming death as he crashed his new Mercedes
into the front of a charter bus
- the scenes in post-death way-station Judgment
City where he could eat whatever he wanted without gaining weight:
("It's not only the best food you'll ever have, but you
can eat all you want....As long as you're here, you can eat all
you want. It won't affect you physically, and you won't gain
weight") - the ads tauted: "Want to eat a lot? Ted's
House of Buffet says you can have everything you see, plus more.
Our chefs will cook it, but they won't look"
- Daniel's retort when asked by an unfunny comedian
(Roger Behr) performing on-stage to entertain the recently-deceased: "How'd
you die?" - "On stage, like you!"
- Daniel's trial in the afterlife: ("You're
here to defend your life"), prosecuted by Lena Foster (Lee
Grant), aka "The Dragon Lady", who played a series

the wrong bottle, a chainsaw accident, a snow-mobile crash, his
disastrous attempt to install a TV antenna on his roof, etc.)
- holographic Shirley MacLaine (Herself in a cameo
appearance) hosting The Past Lives Pavilion (with an off-screen

former life, he was once a tribal native who became "dinner" for
a lion

Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo (1999)
- ex-fish tank cleaner, and now a "man-whore" -
male gigolo Deuce Bigalow's (Rob Schneider in his first starring
role) dates - one of many grotesque liaisons, first with Tina (Torsten
Voges) - a gigantic, 7 1/2 foot tall woman (whose face was always
off-screen) with huge feet who claimed she was from Norway; as
he walked along next to her, she dwarfed him, and off-screen insults
were heard:
"Freak!...Holy S--t, it's Bigfoot!...Hey, keep it in the circus!...That's
a huge bitch!"; Tina said: "I had a pituitary gland procedure
at UCLA Medical Center and I just fell in love with the people
here"; later she became orgasmic when he touched her large
feet ("No one has ever touched my feet before")
- later in
a court hearing (when Deuce was being charged with five counts of
prostitution), obese 500 pound transvestite Fluisa/Jabba Lady
(Los Angeles radio personality Big Boy), with whom he had another
encounter, made a grand entrance into the courtroom, burped, and
then testified on Deuce's behalf: ("We never had sex. We talked
about it. Well, I talked about it. But Deuce never took advantage
of me. He should have. But he's my friend. He made me realize that
I wasn't just some hot babe with huge tits. Even though I am. Oh,
and he also got me walkin' again")
- in another testimony, Tina testified:
("Deuce and I never had sex. It was physically impossible. It's
true I paid him money to be with him, and I'd do it again because
he made me feel good about myself. And no one ever touched my feet
before"); there
were further uncalled-for insults: "Freak!...Behemoth!...That's
a huge bitch!"
- in a third testimony by a cute Tourette's Syndrome
sufferer named Ruth (Amy Poehler), she claimed: "Deuce taught
me to be comfortable with who I am. Thank you, Deuce", and then
uncontrollably yelled out:
"Y-- Asshole!"

test (65 was passing) about the Baltimore Colts pro football
team required by virginal momma's boy and football fanatic Eddie

- the set-piece joke in a movie theatre of scheming,
hustling, indebted Boogie's (Mickey Rourke) macho movie-theatre
wager with his friends that he could entice a girl on a first

use of a popcorn box with blonde date Carol Heathrow (Colette
Blonigan) when he stuck his privates into the bottom of the box
to fool her into touching his "pecker"
- the scene between a married couple - a neglected
and under-appreciated Beth (Ellen Barkin in her screen debut)
and exasperated music-obsessed 'Shrevie' (Daniel Stern) when
he complained about her improper alphabetical/categorical filing

genre category - she had placed a blues record in the R & B
section - and her lack of knowledge of jazz saxophone player
Charlie Parker (she asserted: "What are you gettin' so crazy
about? It's just music, it's not that big a deal!")
- the diner argument scene in which wise-cracking
Modell (Paul Reiser) eyed an exasperated Eddie's roast-beef sandwich:
("You gonna finish that?") but Shrevie ended up taking
a bite out of it

dialogue when vulgar Kitty made conversation with aging grand
dame actress Carlotta Vance (Marie Dressler) on their way into

was reading a book the other day." Carlotta (staggering
at the thought): "Reading a book!" Kitty: "Yes.
It's all about civilization or something, a nutty kind of a book.
Do you know that the guy said that machinery is going to take
the place of every profession?" Carlotta (eyeing Kitty's
costume and shapely physical charms): "Oh, my dear, that's
something you need never worry about"

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels (1988)
- the train dining room sequence, when the loud
and obnoxious American con-artist Freddy Benson (Steve Martin),
used his frequent ploy to acquire a free meal from a gullible
female - "Waiter, give this man whatever he wants":
("I'll have a double turkey sandwich on rye, a side order
of fries, one of those large knockwurst, three bags of potato
chips, chocolate milk and two beers. Why don't you have a beer.
Three beers")
- Freddy's persuasive discussion about the female
sex with his con-artist competition in one of the train compartments
- the suave pseudo-aristocrat Briton Lawrence Jamieson (Michael
Caine); Lawrence called females "the
weaker sex" - and rationalized the
need to fleece them: ("We're the weaker sex. Men don't live
as long as women. We get more heart attacks, more strokes, more
prostate trouble. I say, it's time for a change. I say, let them
give us money. Let's live off them for a while. That probably
shocks a guy like you, right?...Look what I did in the dining
car! She gave me 100 francs. That's like uh, twenty bucks! Do
you have any idea what it feels like to take a woman for $20
bucks?")
- the duo's battle for $50,000 (or sex) from sweet
American soap opera actress and heiress Janet Colgate (Glenne
Headley) on the French Rivera
- Freddy's relegation, after drawing the short straw,
to the role of impersonating Lawrence's younger idiot and spastic
brother - "monkey boy" Prince Ruprecht, a la Jerry
Lewis; their goal was to scare off marriage-minded
heiresses after their money was acquired
- 'Prince Ruprecht' ate
with a cork on the end of his fork to prevent him from hurting
himself, since he often would poke himself in the eye (the one
with an eyepatch); when commanded by Lawrence to eat his meal,
the retard asked: "Excuse
me, may I go to the bathroom first?"; when given permission,
he appeared to pee into his pants under the table, and
then after a look of relief, he responded: "Thank you"
- in another scene, he lubricated a yellow latex
glove on his left hand after being asked the question: "What
did we do when Uncle Ted was here?" and then hugged too
tightly one of Lawrence's newest prospects until being threatened: "Ruprecht,
do you want the genital cuff?"
- the film's last line, revealing that Janet was
the elusive "Jackal" who had stolen their money, and
was ready to join them in fleecing others: "Fellas, last
year I made three million dollars. But your fifty thousand was
the most fun. Are you ready? Then, let's go get 'em."

business known as "Dirty Work," the scene of Mitch Weaver
(Norm Macdonald) and Sam McKenna (Artie Lange) during a tasting
test
(for a payment of $50) of Grandma Mabel's brownies - a product
promoted as a new fat substitute - causing Mitch to suffer severe
side effects, including chills, severe sweating, a face rash and
a hellish hallucination of Satan (Adam Sandler): "Come with
me! You belong with me! Burn! BURN!"
- the insulting and denigrating speech delivered by
tyrannical movie theatre manager Mr. Hamilton (Don Rickles) to
new employees, including Mitch and Sam (in particular): "So
there you are, tubby. You look like a bucket of lard on a bad day.
You baby gorilla. Why don't you work in a zoo, and stop bothering
people? Got a call yesterday from Baskin Robbins. They said that
they're down to only five flavors. You're swelling up as I talk
to you"
- the mooning scene, when driving by a movie line,
as Sam stuck his bare ass out the car window to the patrons:
("How's that lookin', baby! Whoo-hoooo!"),
but then Mitch stopped the car and exited, leaving Sam parked directly
in front of the sidewalk line - he was embarrassed as he opened
the car door and ran away while pulling up his pants and apologizing: "He
was supposed to keep drivin'"
- the scene of Mitch and Sam hired by a neighbor
to plant dead fish in the interior of the next-door mansion, and
then hiding as two mob groups arrived and engaged in a drug deal;
when one smelled fish ("It smells like fish in here"),
the other dealer suspected a signal or that he was wearing a wire,
and there was a brutal, massive, and deadly shoot-out (off-screen);
as the two pranksters stood there and listened to the mayhem, their
expressions changed from glee to abject horror; after the violence
subsided, they tiptoed out - with squishing sounds heard as they
walked through the blood-soaked area
- the character of Jimmy (Chris Farley in his final
film), visibly showing a bandage over his bit-off nose, excised by
a "Saigon whore"
- the pre-brawl bar scene of Jimmy
enthusiastically pressing buttons on a jukebox machine to
hear the Rolling Stones' Street
Fightin' Man, but accidentally hitting G8 instead of G7, and
listening instead to Rupert Holmes' Escape (The Pina Colada Song)

Divorce, American Style (1967)
- the clever opening title credits scene (beginning
with a surreal montage of LA traffic and cars pulling into driveways
after a day of work) in which a god-like lawyer with an attache
case walked to a Hollywood Hills hillside in the Los Angeles
area, placed his briefcase on a pedestal, clothed himself in
his judicial robe, and started conducting the cacophony of vituperative
arguments that were heard among bitterly-married couples in the
upper-middle-class suburbanite houses below (i.e., "You
comin' out of there soon, so if I could get something....You
been in there 20 minutes already, what are you reading?...Will
you stop that please!?...That thing you do with your nose. It's
disgusting")
- the classic scene in which angry married couple
Richard and Barbara Harmon (Dick Van Dyke and Debbie Reynolds)
with marital problems ("We're choking to death"); after
a shouting match, the two went into their bedroom and proceeded
through their synchronized nightly routine including opening
and closing closet doors - without saying a word
- the scene in which the extended families and parents
of divorce in six carloads tried to sort out the various two
dozen children - with commentary: ("That's Susie. She's
Fred's second daughter by his first marriage. And that's her
stepfather, Ed, whose Rosie was Jim's first wife. She had two
kids by her first marriage, and...") - and one little girl
was overlooked and left behind by the scene's end

Django Unchained (2012)
- the incongruous scene of bickering amongst Ku Klux
Klan members, who couldn't see out of the narrow eyeslit holes
in their white head coverings: (Big Daddy (Don Johnson):
"Damn! I can't see f--kin' s--t outta this thing....Naw, hold on,
I'm f--kin' with my eye holes"); after he ripped his bag when adjusting
it, he exclaimed: "Oh s--t, aw, I just made it worse";
blame was laid on Jenny, the wife of Klan member Willard, who had
sewn the bags; Robert (director Quentin Tarantino himself) complained
about the poor visibility: "If I don't move my head, I can see you pretty
good, more or less. But when I start ridin', the bag's movin' all
over, and I - I'm ridin' blind"; when another bag-head (Jonah Hill)
ripped his head covering, he asked: "I just made mine worse. Anybody
bring any extra bags?"; another sarcastically answered: "No, nobody
brought an extra bag"

("by
opium-addicted Chinamen"),
where Timmy was seen coughing after inhaling
- the group of misfits from
a local, run-down area gym, known as Average Joe's Gymnasium run
by Peter La Fleur (Vince Vaughn), who were entered into the annual
Las Vegas Dodgeball Tournament against "jerks" from a corporate
fitness chain known as Globo Gym, run by mullet-wearing, egomaniac
White Goodman (Ben Stiller) and his team the Purple Cobras, in
order to raise $50,000 to save their heavily-mortgaged gym
- the team was trained, for three weeks, in
the game of Dodgeball by the recruited, legendary ADAA champ Patches
O'Houlihan (Rip Torn), who first explained the 5 Ds of Dodgeball:
dodge, duck, dip, dive and dodge! - "If you master the 5 Ds,
no amounts of balls on earth can hit you!"; and then, after
opening a bag of heavy tools and mentioning: "If
you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball", he threw a wrench
at Justin (Justin Long) and struck him in the face; La
Fleur asked:
"Are you sure that this is completely necessary?" - Patches
replied:
"Necessary? Is it necessary for me to drink my own urine?...No,
but I do it anyway because it's sterile and I like the taste"

Sauvé des Eaux (1932) (aka Boudu Saved From Drowning)

insinuation into the Whiteman's nouveau-riche Beverly Hills household
by "giving
them everything they wanted"
- the many scene-stealing scenes of neurotic family
dog Matisse (black-and-white border collie Mike the Dog), who required
a dog therapist
- Jerry's seduction of sexually-repressed, New Agey,
spaced-out Barbara Whiteman (Bette Midler), whose ecstatic screaming
reverberated around the neighborhood (Matisse convulsed and panted,
the phallic cable antenna vibrated, the sprinklers erupted, etc.)
and Barbara's post-coital singing of You Belong to Me
- Dave's initial bonding with Jerry that soured because
of Jerry's:
(1) seduction of Mexican maid Carmen (Elizabeth Peña) - whom
Dave was also having an affair with
(2) encouragement of androgynous, sexually-confused and obsessive
son Max (Evan Richards) to come out to him, and
(3) sexual relations with anorexic college student Jenny Whiteman
(Tracy Nelson)

Whitemans (Helicopter pilot: "What a f--king party!"), as next
door neighbor and record producer Orvis Goodnight (Little Richard)
performed Tutti
Frutti on
the piano, and fireworks exploded (and everyone jumped in the pool)
- Jerry's decision to leave: (Dave: "You lied" Jerry: "What
did you want to hear, Dave? REAL heartbreak? REAL sorrow?")
- the ending sequence in the alleyway behind the
Whiteman's house, where Jerry had been joined by Matisse to scrounge
in a dumpster, but was silently urged to return to the house by
the entire family - they expectantly awaited his entrance; Jerry
signaled to Matisse:
"Let's go grab a cup of cappuccino"; after all the other
family members entered the gate after Jerry, there was a final haunting
shot Dave's unsure look about joining everyone - to the book-ended
strains of Once in a Lifetime

renegade Gen. Jack D. Ripper's (Sterling Hayden) babbling
about "precious
bodily fluids"

Muffley's (Peter Sellers also) classic, polite hot-line phone call
(a monologue) to the drunken Soviet premier Dmitri Kissof to explain
an erroneous "silly" bombing attack: ("He ordered

it's a friendly call. Listen, if it wasn't friendly, ...you probably
wouldn't have even got it. They will not reach their targets for
at least another hour!")

of retribution by the company
- the sinister and peculiar wheelchair-bound ex-Nazi
mad German scientist Dr.
Strangelove (Peter Sellers) with a falsetto-
and German-accent, and an uncontrollable, independently-minded mechanical-arm
Nazi salute (and his wrestling with his own gloved hand)
- Strangelove's giggling pleasure as he described
his duty to populate the human race with women (at a ratio of 10
females to one male) in deep underground, mine-shaft caverns, and
his ultimate exclamation: "Mein Fuhrer, I can walk!"
- gung-ho redneck cowboy commander of the B-52 bomber
plane Major T.J. "King"
Kong's (Slim Pickens) patriotic speech: ("I'd say that you're

- the image of Kong rodeo-riding the nuclear bomb
like a bucking bronco toward its target and crying "Yaahooo" while
waving his cowboy hat

Duck Soup
(1933)

that ridiculed pomp, government, corrupt dictators (Mussolini took
it personally and banned the film) and authority

- the scenes of the two confrontations with the lemonade
stand vendor (Edgar Kennedy) including a classic three-headed,
hat-switching sequence, the burning of the vendor's bowler hat
on the flaming hot dog cooker, and the barefooted Pinkie (Harpo)
paddling around in the lemonade tank
- the classic, inventive perfectly-timed scene of
the inspired, celebrated 'mirror' pantomime (before a non-existent
mirror) - a superlative, lyrical, artistic example of mute physical
comedy (a revival of a classic vaudeville routine) with two (actually
three) of the Marx Brothers identically dressed in nightshirt and

box operator at a Chinese restaurant's drive-thru window; after
hard-partying Jesse Montgomery III (Ashton Kutcher) delivered an
order of garlic chicken, white rice, won-ton soup and fortune cookies,
the drive-thru Chinese Foooood Voice kept asking: "And then?",
while Jesse finally stated: "No 'and then'!"; eventually,
Jesse became angered: "I'm gonna come in there and I'm gonna
put my foot in your ass IF YOU SAY 'AND THEN' AGAIN!'!"; taunting
him, the box voice repeatedly said: "And then! And then! And
then! And then! And then! And then! And then! And then! And then!
And then! And then! And then!"; now
furious, Jesse smashed the speaker box, and they drove away while
the intercom kept saying: "And then?"
- the tattoo reveal scene, when both Jesse and Chester
Greenburg (Seann William Scott) saw that they had tattoos on their
back -- "SWEET"
on Chester's back, and "DUDE" on Jesse's back, and they
kept looking at the tattoos and repeating the two words
- the comedy's premise was a pre-cursor of the main
theme of The Hangover (2009); after a night on the town,
Jesse and Chester had forgotten
what they had done although there were clues: a transgender stripper,
Zoltan's UFO cult, two groups of aliens (one group was composed
of five pretty females), a Rubik's Cube known as a Continuum Transfunctioner,
and a refrigerator stocked with chocolate pudding

Neely) - and his agreement to buy a round of Boilermakers for his
table, but then telling the waitress: "Sea Bass and the fellas
offered to pick up our check. They said just put it on their tab.
They're very nice"; afterwards, when Harry asked where Lloyd
had learned the scam, he was told he had seen it in a movie; Harry
asked what happened next, and was told: "In the movie, they
catch up to him a half-mile down the road and slit his throat.
It was a good one!"
- the sight of Harry and Lloyd

- the imbecilic Lloyd's sentimentally-happy response
after pursuing married dream girl Mary Swanson (Lauren Holly) from
Providence to Aspen in the Poochmobile after
she told him that their chances were "one in a million"
- "So you're saying there's a chance?! Yeah!"
- Harry's compliment to Mary about her owls: "Nice
set of hooters you got there!...The owls. They're beautiful!"
- the scene of Lloyd (and his group all wearing ugly
Christmas sweaters) in front of a fireplace performing his schtick,
and deciding (for laughs) to light his fart on fire
- the excruciatingly-funny yet gross scene of Harry's
extreme agony on the toilet while suffering a reaction to a large
dose of a laxative put in his coffee by Lloyd -
and Mary's disturbing comment to him: "I hope you're not using
the toilet, it's broken...the toilet doesn't flush" - and
his responses: "I
was just shaving" and later, "I’m just, I’m
cleaning my teeth"; and when he was attempting to pour
the entire contents of the heavy toilet bowl out the window, he
lied again: "I'm
gargling!"
- the famous scene in which brain-dead Harry exclaimed:
"Ooh, look, frost" to Mary as they rode on a ski-lift chair
- and his tongue became fused to the frozen metal frame pole - and
the hilarious scene as they pried him free while his tongue stretched
elastically
- the scene of the two down-and out guys walking along
a deserted Colorado road and wondering: "When are we ever
gonna catch a break?" - when a
bus group of bikinied females on tour representing Hawaiian Tropic
pulled up next to them (with a few "Hallelujahs" from The
Messiah),
and three gorgeous females emerged, greeted them (Swedish model
(Anna Anka/Aberg) spoke in her native tongue: "Hej allihopa" (translated:
Hi everyone)), and presented an offer for them
to be their oil boys: "Hi,
guys. We're going on a national bikini tour, and we're looking
for two oil boys who can grease us up before each competition";
Harry answered for the two of them: "You are
in luck! There is a town about three miles that way. I'm sure you'll
find a couple guys there"; but then Lloyd realized that they
had made a mistake ("Do you realize what you've done?")
- they ran to catch up to the bus - and breathlessly, Lloyd told
the driver that Harry had pointed in the wrong direction!: "You'll
have to excuse my friend. He's a little slow. The town is back
that way!"; as they waved goodbye to the bus, Lloyd imagined:
"Wow, two lucky guys are gonna be driving around with those
girls for the next couple months"
