In The Naked Gun, there’s a scene where Ricardo Montalban is showing his hypno-assassin technology to a business associate. He presses a button and his maid suddenly pulls out an empty gun and points it at the associate and pulls the trigger three times. Then she points it at her head and pulls the trigger three times. Fine, brainwash the woman, Ricardo, but seriously? Three self-inflicted shots to the head? You’re not leaving anything to chance there, son. It was that part that creeped me out.
Also, The Simpsons episode where Lisa asks the science fair question, Is My Brother Dumber Than a Hamster? The cupcakes scene. It was brief, but totally disturbing to me.
Nitpick: Secretary, not maid, and the actress playing the part was the mother of directors David and Jerry Zucker. I don’t know if that makes it more or less creepy.
I love the cupcake scene, it was funny to me because Bart was probably getting some conditioning that was going to affect his sex life as an adult and would have no idea why.
The scene in the Venture Brothers series where Phantom Limb terrorized the Monarch by casually murdering with a rifle various of the Monarch’s associates.
The scene in Who Framed Roger Rabbit where it’s discovered that Judge Doom is a Toon.
“Remember me Eddie ? When I killed your brother ? And . . . I . . . talked . . . just . . . like . . . THIIIIISSSS !”
There’s a cut scene in the movie French Twist where a guy hits on a girl who reveals that she’s his long lost daughter. It would probably be pretty skeevey in an American film.
Pretty much any South Park episode, but I guess the skeeviest is when Mr. Hanky dances on people’s faces and leaves his mark.
Monty Python’s Meaning of Life has plenty of skeeve moments, like the Live Organ Transplants scene, where the depraved & indifferent housecalling surgeons eviscerate the poor victim and throw his bloody palpitating organs all over the place. And of course, Mr. Creosote’s constant projectile vomiting.
Well, the whole leaving their lovers on/right after their wedding day(s) for each other. People they’ve built up relationships with are thrown over because they’re in love…I mean, I was glad they got together (though Daphne got a bit bitchy afterwards, and the storylines were never as funny) because it is Niles and Daphne, but yeah, they were both a bit self centered.
Well, what should they have done? Should Daphne have married Donnie? How would that marriage have turned out? I mean, obviously, it’s a little silly to analyze a sitcom in real life, but if my wife had realized even two minutes before our wedding that she was in love with another man and wouldn’t be happy with me, it wouldn’t have been selfish for her to tell me so. It would save many years of pain at the expense of a few days of pain.
Just remembered the scene in Airplane II where the harried businessman father is talking to his 10-year-old son about how good it will be to get away from it all. The kids keeps responding with statements like, “Yeah, no more pesky question about the rape trial” and “No more kids saying, ‘Hey, you’re father is a filthy pervert,’” after which the father finally explodes and grabs his son and screams, “Shut up! They were asking for it! They were ALL asking for it!”
I don’t know…I guess I find it hard to believe that people could just suddenly realize they’re in love with someone else right before they get married. I mean, I know Niles has always loved Daphne…but is it really right to get into a relationship with someone else knowing you’ve got this intense love/obsession with your father’s physical therapist? I’d prefer being in a relationship with someone for whom I was number one, I suppose.
At the time I first saw this (back in high school), I of course thought that the whole Niles/Daphne storyline was super romantic and beautiful, etc.
There was an episode of Taxi with each character telling about a daydream or fantasy, and they’d be shown in a dream sequence. Alex (Judd Hirsch) said he just never fantasized, but the others urged him to try. The joke was that he couldn’t even imagine anything good happening to him.
He tried to come up with a fantasy of meeting a young, beautiful woman when she takes a ride in his cab. He keeps imagining things that wreck it for him, but he’s urged to try again.
Eventually, he’s got her before a cozy fire, sipping wine and sliding close to one another on the couch. They’re making small talk about their families. Then they simultaneously realize that she’s Alex’s niece he hasn’t seen since she was little. :eek:
That’s your creepy Venture scene? Ahead of half-grown Hank and Dean clowns, Baron Unterbheit’s detachable jaw, or Dr. Venture giving birth to his own parasitic twin?
It is an oft repeated little piece.
