Martin Luther King Jr. himself said that black people’s greatest enemy wasn’t the racists or the conservatives—it was the moderates. The people who sympathize with the cause, but refuse to do any heavy lifting themselves, or refuse to sacrifice any of their privilege.

Even thought the book is relatively short, it does a great job of gradually and methodically turning the screws.  Looking forward to this.

I haven’t kept a running tab, but it wouldn’t surprise me if the answer wasn’t Lebowski.

I’m basically Pee Wee when I’m working with young kids. I probably owe Paul Reubens half my salary at this point.

Wow, I just realized I haven’t seen that movie in over 20 years and I still say “the dishes are done, man” regularly.

I don’t believe you. I would bet a million dollars that at least one person on this list quotes Big Trouble in Little China and/or Pee Wee’s Big Adventure more often than the movie they listed.

Although it's not from a movie I still wanted to post it, Aubrey Plaza has good quotes. 

I came here for this! The Princess Bride is easily one of our most quoted movies.

how is this even a question?

“What’s, like, a really old age? I’ll put 42.”

You know good and damn well it’s not bikini pics.

Good user name/comment synergy.

The idea of comedy punching up and speaking truth to power goes back at least as far as court jesters, well before modern social movements. Certainly punching down — making fun of deformities, polack jokes etc. — has existed in parallel, but over time has often been seen as a form or cruelty or bigotry.

But I guess to look at your comment another way, there is plenty of comedy that isn’t about punching at all. Seinfeld/Larry David, for example. They don’t really punch anyone so much as just observe the silliness of society’s unwritten rules. So to your point, yes, comedy doesn’t have to always punch up. But punching…

Punching up is making fun of people who are more powerful than you. Punching down is making fun of people who are less powerful than you.

Spoken like a bigot thinks the Central Park Five deserved life in prison,whines about “progressive politics”, bitches when anyone is critical of Christianity, will stan for convicted rapists who evade their prison sentences by fleeing to Europe because you like his filmography (https://news.avclub.com/1837995504), and…
