Something about the executive management at Dunder Mifflin (or just the show's writing) caused otherwise intelligent people to go off the rails: David, Jan, Ryan…I'm sure something terrible happened to Charles Miner that we're unaware of.

Alas, one year too late for Grease 2.
I loved the anecdote on the commentary where Anne Bancroft showed up to record with Mel Brooks in tow and all the writers had to try to hide their nerding out. Bancroft kind of noticed and just said "I can't get rid of him!"
@persia2:disqus Also when Kermit Miss Piggy get into a fight and he tells her she's overacting.
One of my favorite comedic moments in film history (seriously) is when Gonzo is performing in the sad waterskiing show.
The last few seasons really soured me on the whole shebang. It's been fun to go back to rewatch the early years and remember "Ohhhhh, this *was* a great show."
So much spraying and yelling. I could watch that on a loop for days.
I love how indignant he sounds during this part.
Also the scene of Martin and Frasier in the car whilst Niles struggles to open the urn outside.
I wish I could be 1/10 as cool as Anjelica Huston as Eleanor Zissou.
"I'M YOUR PARTY CAPTAIN TOO!"
His final episode where he talked about the pigeon pooping on him "And I was indoors, so…" was a great moment.
Everyone is fantastic but I recall Sandy Dennis' scene where she finally lets herself get angry at Gena Rowland as being a highlight.
He's perfect in Small Time Crooks. Also: Elaine May!
I vaguely remember one great line from Hollywood Ending. Allen asks the Chinese translator how he thinks the film is going and he cheerfully responds something like "Much better than the chaos you were previously encouraging!"
@avclub-cfe912f5cb3aa572bd1c9ae2a9b82207:disqus I love the opening with the jump cutting of Judy Davis (always, always great) getting out of the cab set to "Twisted" by Annie Ross.
Oscar's Southern accent alone makes it one of my favorites.
If I'm ever having a bad day at work, I just bring up the Super Chicken theme song on YouTube. Never fails to cheer me up.
I remember at one point on Nickelodeon, an ad boasted that they were getting rid of the really old cartoons. The narrator said "Sorry, Bosco!" as they faded out on his face. I was kind of upset.
Going to see Tom Waits with Dan Rydell is pretty much my ultimate dream date scenario.
