That's entirely wrong. Chow's pre-Shaolin Soccer films have elements that are based on subtle wordplay, and are frequently lost in translation, but the vast majority of the movie's comedy is still slapstick.

They are his fucking Kryptonite, after all.
Give Me Libby Casey or Give Me Death:
I'm going to submit, "Any time Tori Spelling is in an on-screen relationship".
I think anyone that thinks the Klondike commercial fails to realize is that it's that woman's own damn fault they married that guy, as opposed to one the guys that actually would have given a shit about their day. Rewind 5 years when that dude's an alpha-douchechild, and that woman's getting hit on by guys with…
I'm ok with that working in the context of Parker's character. She's really ill-defined. She's there for the showrunners to have someone to do crazy stuff.
My random observations…
Eliot giving the girl an earpiece when the team was going to con her dad wasn't exactly a brilliant tactical move. Additionally, why does he just have an extra earpiece this one time?
I dunno. Elliot got his butt kicked more often in this episode than I've ever seen. Granted he was already KO'ed by the carnival ride, but that guy withstood two of Elliot's combos before dishing out one of his own. Then Urijah Faber kicked his butt. (Leverage seems to take it easy on their athlete guest stars. Last…
I hate to break it you, but the end where he basically tried to rip-off Enter the Dragon is the definition of "not solid skillful fighting."
Don't cry for them, next door neighbor.
"Find some other issue to be entirely and demonstrably retarded about now, please. "
"This is going to sound frightfully rude"
This show was awful.
I can't stand when a show can't even bother to research its core concept correctly. None of the characters powers actually work the they're portrayed:
This summer… Tom Cruise… HAS BEEN SET UP.
What percentage of Tom Cruise movies involve SOMEONE. SETTING. HIM. UP?
Phantom Tollbooth is one of the greatest books ever written.
So basically, Baretleby could go to Cheesecake Factory, but he'd prefer not to.
When we discuss Sledge Hammer! we tend to use our loudeners.
Did any of you guys ever watch the Ben Stiller Show? There's a sketch on one episode where Bob Odenkirk's gangsta rap group writes an oddly specific #1 hit about killing his annoying neighbor, Doug Szathkey.
Most everything from Weird Al's UHF is something I'd watch. Wheel of Fish, most definitely. The only other contender I can think of that springs to mind is from the not very entertaining Tim Allen movie "Joe Somebody". At one point he trains with Jim Belushi, who's supposed to be a washed-up Steven Segal figure. One…
This Rock of Ages stuff is confusing.
Since I'm more into video games than musicals, I keep thinking everything's supposed to be about the crazy art game of the same name.
