In this threadSampiro expresses the opinion that “You can call us Aaron Burr for the way we’re droppin’ Hamiltons” is the funniest line of the year (from an SNL skit).
I think this from My Name is Earl is the tops:
Feliz Nabliba! That’s how Americans say Merry Christmas in Mexican!
What are your nominations for the funniest lines of the year?
I think the most unintentionally funny line of the year would be the neswpaper photo of white people carrying stuff through New Orleans floodwaters, captioned that they “found” stuff, while a photo of black people doing the EXACT same thing was captioned as “looting.” Now THAT’S comedy gold!
I think it was this year, it was Chris Rock doing a routine about Nelson Mandela being locked up and tortured for 25 years, then getting released and only making it thru 8 months with Winnie. Maybe you had to be there.
Earl is teaching foreigners how to speak English. This is a paraphrase…
Earl: Now, who can tell me how to get to Earl’s house?
Earl narrating: Looking back, asking them to watch TV as a homework assignment may have been a bad idea.
Student: Erections lasting for more than four hours, though rare, require medical attention!
Earl narrating: Then I think he swore at me in his native language.
Student: Seacrest out!
So the people involved came out with a lovely string of bullshit when they were called on it instead of saying, “Yeah, it was racism.” Amazing. Simply amazing. And I am supposed to believe it simply because you do. That would be amazing, too.
