I really hated the book. I read all kinds of genres, you name it, I’ve read some of it, and this is the first book that struck me as obscene. It seemed to revel in tragedy and make a joke out of it, and the double-standards really disgusted me.
So I was surprised to hear of it referred to as a comedy.
OMG. :: clutches beating heart :: That is not a good thing to watch when you’re stoned.
Er, I would imagine, anyway.
Maybe, but Chinatown, while it has some good laughs in it, is definitely not a comedy.
I’m sure that’s a parody of country song (sort of “song,” it’s all talk over the background music, no rhyme or meter) I’ve heard about a “phantom trucker,” but I can’t recall title or artist.
How about Kubrick’s LOLITA?
It starts when Humbert sees Lolita for the first time and ends when he sees her for the last time.
A friend was going on about the Adrian Lynne (?) version being beautiful & disturbing. I replied- “It was OK, but it wasn’t as funny as the original movie.”
A moment of silence.
“FUNNY?!?! THE FIRST ONE WAS FUNNY!?!?”
“God help me, yes. Mainly due to Peter Sellers but not only him.”
The “Koko the Clown” segment in The Groove Tube. “OK, our next request is for a reading from the Marquis de Sade’s Philosophy in the Bedroom, but we’re not going to have time for that today . . .”
Probably “Big Joe and Phantom 309,” which Tom Waits sang over guitar accompaniment on his early (1975?) double live album Nighthawks at the Diner. I always saw this song as a parody of the thousands of “Phantom Hitchhiker” urban legends, because in this case the hitchhiker was Waits and the DRIVER was the ghost.
Not a scene but one of those throw-away lines:
Flesh Gordon:
DR. JERKOFF TO DALE ARDOR: Try this on. It’s my mother’s dress. She was buried in it.
So the scene in Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure is a parody of a parody! I like that! 
“I know you are, but what is this?”
In Raising Arizona (from the Coen Brothers), Nicholas Cage and Holly Hunter
accidentally leave a baby on their car roof as they drive off.
Scary as hell, but played for laughs.
To nitpick: that’s actualy Gale and Evelle (the escaped criminals, friends of Hi) who do that.
“Never leave a man behind!”
There was some stupid Jackie Chan comedy that was all about baby in danger gags. Baby accidentally left in a running washing machine, baby nearly frozen to death, ha ha ha. I was stuck on a highway bus watching this thing, going back to work after a weekend with my baby daughter.
