Daddy's gonna kill Ralphie!

I think you’re thinking of Woody Allen’s parents in Annie Hall. It’s not in the Memorable Quotes section, but I saw this in the theaters a few months ago and I’m sure that’s where it was.

Ooops, edit to add, I love this movie! (and I’m one of the 2 people in the universe who saw and also loved, but not as much, the sequel, It Runs In The Family, aka A Summer Story).

The fight with Skut Farkus would have gone VERY differently.

“You mean, let me understand this cause, ya know maybe it’s me, I’m a little fucked up maybe, but I’m stuck to a flagpol how, I mean stuck to a flagpole like I’m a clown, I amuse you? I make you laugh, I’m here to fuckin’ amuse you? What do you mean stuck to a flagpole, stuck to a flagpole how? How am I stuck to a flagpole?”

Mr. Parker: What is the name of the Lone Ranger’s nephew’s horse?
Mother: Ah… Victor! His name is Victor.
Mr. Parker: How the hell did you know that?
Mother: Everybody knows that! Is this another one of your silly puzzles?
Mr. Parker: Yeah, another one of my silly puzzles. This one could be worth FIFTY THOUSAND BUCKS.
Mother: What is it this time?
Mr. Parker: Name the great characters in American literature.
Mother: Victor? The Lone Ranger’s nephew’s horse?

Well, at least I’m not just making it up out of thin air! I was worried about my mental faculties!

ETA: KneadToKnow, you are cracking me up at work.

No, that should be:

“You mean, let me understand this cause, ya know maybe it’s me, I’m a little fudged up maybe, but I’m stuck to a flagpole how, I mean stuck to a flagpole like I’m a clown, I amuse you? I make you laugh, I’m here to fudgin’ amuse you? What do you mean stuck to a flagpole, stuck to a flagpole how? How am I stuck to a flagpole?”

“That hot-damn Olds is froze up again!”

“Nickel stacker!”

“That car would freeze up in the middle of summer, on the equator!”

“The old man could replace fuses quicker than a jackrabbit on a date. He bought them by the gross.”

I think I might be the earliest of the early-adopters of the film among all the folks here: I saw some of the filming in person. Dad took us downtown for the filming of the exterior shots of the department-store scene. And the RTA buses wore their trolley costumes for the entire Christmas season.

Wrong Woody film–it’s from Radio Days.

Ok. So far in this thread, it has been attributed to Christmas Story, Annie Hall, Good Fellas and Radio Days. I will trust you are correct. Now, hot shot, link me to a video of that exact scene!

Here you go. Your scene is at 1:57. :stuck_out_tongue:

I have to top this by linking to the exact minute and second.

My family was also one of the very few who went and saw it in the theater in '83. We were the only people in the theater, which was especially awesome to my 8-year old self. We nearly died laughing and it became instant classic for us, although we call it “You’ll shoot your eye out” instead of its proper title.

I even made pink bunny pjs for my brother one year.

I loved finally learning how they did that, and yet, it was like learning how a magician saws a woman in half. All the joy was gone. :frowning:

Top it? :dubious: Enjoy that reflected glory all you want… :cool:

The old man fights the furnace, just before the leg lamp meets its untimely demise.

You filthy fiston halphhead!
You wart mundane noodle!
Shottin, shefting festaba!
Laymongous snaffle cell kaka!

This is a movie best enjoyed with the closed-captioning ON!

“My Mother had not had a hot meal, for herself, in 15 years.”

That’s incredible. Thank you. And I knew ArchiveGuy wouldn’t let me down.

As a bonus trivia, ArchiveGuy, I will have you know that I know that the woman in that scene is Patty and Selma.

ETA: And Marge too, I reckon.
