I shot Gordon Pratt

The correct take. I hated it when it first came out, but my resistance has worn down over the years. It’s not good, but some of the gags are quite funny. Bill Hader calling to politely ask if someone can take him to the hospital is great.

I will always love Club Dread for Bill Paxton’s Coconut Pete, and the scene where someone DARES ask him to play Margaritaville.

“You must mean MY hit song Pina Colada Burg, the song I wrote ten years before that SONG STEALING HACK! FUCK THAT GUY, that son of a son of a BITCH!”

I feel the same way about Step Brothers.

I’ve never seen the entire film, but that “Babe!” scene gets me everytime:

Walk Hard is a good movie from beginning to end.

Also from Men in Tights, when Robin is being told everyone he loves is dead:

The bits and pieces are funny as hell. It just doesn’t hold up as a narrative movie.

Chris Parnell thinking that people hearing his description of the jump on AM radio will revitalize the medium is pretty priceless too

Tom Hank’s delivery of “Take me to the hospital, I’m sick” in the Burbs is one of cinemas all time greats. There is nothing funny about that line in and of itself. And yet, my college roommate and I could frequently “quote” it. Only 80's Tom Hanks can make a nothing line of dialog like that into a quote.

Brain Candy was a terrible movie, but a great collection of skits. Kevin MacDonald’s character telling about his father’s depression is my favorite just because of the body language.

The part where they kept destroying the cop cars, so they kept getting downgraded until they were driving a Yugo was pretty good.  Along with Christopher Plummer’s absolutely amazing overacting, playing the Reverend as somehow both a male sexual predator and somehow still ambiguously gay...... I’ve thought way too

Popstar! is a consistently funny film (especially the dig at U2 and the fridges that are automatically programmed to play Connor4Real’s crappy music, Seal getting mauled by wolves, and the hilariously self-aggrendising ‘Equal Rights’ song), so, like Medrawt says, it doesn’t really belong here.

Yeah.

Tom Hanks was a great comic actor in the 80s (The Burbs, The Money Pit, even some parts of The Man with One Red Shoe), but despite his and Aykroyd’s best efforts, I always felt this one fell a little short.

The best thing to come out of that awful Dragnet film was Aykroyd and Hanks trying to rap in this:

People should feel that it’s an incredibly funny movie with many funny bits, and therefore inappropriate on a list like this.

It’s fun to watch it and remember when Tom Hanks was a comic actor.

Ummm, sorry to disagree but Hot Rod is one of the best comedies of the last ten years.

Again, a movie I absolutely loved, but I was young and less discriminating.

Now playing

I go to church every god-damn Sunday! You gonna bring the DEMONS out in me!

I enjoyed Hot Rod start to finish, but the sequence where Richardson, the guy who desperately wants to join the stunt team, helps them distribute flyers brings me to tears laughing. Every time:
