Am I the only person who loved this when it came out? Now naturally, I realize that it sucked and my early humor was impaired, but at the time I thought it was the bee’s knees. I only laughed harder at A Fish Called Wanda. See, I’m not all pathetic.
Wasn’t there an episode of DS9 where this was done? I think it was “The Magnificent Ferengi” and the dead person was a Vorta.
Yep, and they had to keep him alive, because he was part of a hostage exchange for Nog and Rom’s Moogie. But since they accidentally killed him, they went all Spock’s Brain and remote controlled him.
A lifetime ago, a complete stranger stopped me in a video store, held up a copy of Weekend At Bernie’s II and asked me if it was any good.
“Only if you compare it to, say, a weekend at Auschwitz”.
He rented it anyway.
Oh, WIN! You nailed it in one. The first one had some yucks. The guy who played Bernie, Terry Kiser, pulled off some pretty good physical comedy. The second one, not so much. I couldn’t finish it.
If I remember right, didn’t they go zombie in the second one? Bernie was white zombified?
I thought the geeks around here like zombie movies?
Nope, he was just regular dead.
ETA: Ok, he was a partial zombie. From wiki: Bernie is partially revived in a botched voodoo ceremony and made to walk toward the hidden treasure whenever he hears music.
When my kids were young, say 6-13, Weekend at Bernie’s I was a laff riot. When they were still young, I showed 'em II—they were horrified.
Oh man… the joy and horror that is W@BII… That one won one of our weekly “Bad Movie Nights” in college…
What, didn’t they like the talking goats? Gotta love a movie with talking goats and a quest for virgin blood and treasure.
No. I actually saw a preview screening of the original Weekend at Bernie’s. Got to fill out a little review card and everything. I remember that I enjoyed it very much, but I haven’t seen it since, so I’m not sure if my opinion would still hold up, and I’m not really anxious to find out.
And the dead Vorta was played by Iggy Pop! (for realsies.)
Then you haven’t seen “The Trouble with Harry” (1955). Hitchcock, a very young Shirley MacLaine, Edmund Gwenn, et al.
I said “usually.” 
That’s one of my favorite movies ever. 
There was a another one that was kind of funny-ish, iirc. Can’t remember if it was Abbot and Costello or Jerry Lewis and Dean Martin. Had a zombie in it.
Shucks, maybe it was Bob Hope and Bing Crosby. I just seem to remember it was mildly amusing. Could be misremembering a Scooby Doo for all I know.
He was in the episode, but didn’t play the dead Vorta. The corpse-puppet was Keevan, played by Christopher Shea. Iggy played Yelgrun, who was supposed to make the exchange, and ended up captured at the end of the episode.
