Team America - Oh my God that was awful.

FAG members release a pair of panthers on two of the Team which are actually just a pair of black domestic cats. Their faces are shown in slow motion to mimick a panther roaring

I’m not sure why I needed to spoiler that, but at least I can’t be accused of spoilering. My girlfriend liked that part which was a relief after seeing it in a cinema full of teenagers throwing popcorn and the vomit scene :o

Ahh, thanks.
Perhaps I wasn’t, um, fully coherent while watching it. Maybe that’s why I thought it was so funny.

This is one of the funniest movies ever and if you don’t think so you are just a communist. The truth hurts, I know, but it had to be said.

“Dirka dirka dirka.”
“Oh, dirka dirka dirka.”

Allah Mohammed Durka Jihad.

so… You wouldn’t watch Meryl Streep in a porn? 'Cause I would totally be down with that.

I think, perhaps, that they had just finished watching SNL.

If you saw only the R-rated version, then you didn’t see the part that triggered my reaction.
I don’t think it would have helped your enjoyment of the movie, though. :cool:

I would normally agree with this–the fifty foot tall marionette of Emily Dickenson in Being John Malkovich made me crack up immediately–and yet in this movie…nope. Just another one of those things that was amusing for two minutes, tolerable for ten, and tedious after fifty.

Talking about Charlie Kaufman/Spike Jonze movies, you need to see Adaptation.

Since I’m unlikely to go out and rent the DVD, but you’ve piqued my curiosity, could someone spoil this for me? What outrageous sex act did the puppets do?

Name it. They do it.

In addition to what moviegoers saw in the theaters, the Uncensored DVD adds a golden shower and puppet poop.

I wish it had remained censored. It adds nothing enjoyable to the movie or the specific scene. Or, at least, I wish I knew before specifically seeking out the Uncensored version that that was the “big deal”; I would have been happy with the Rated-R DVD.

Hamlet, you’re getting old. This movie cracked me up. I like the way they make fun of everybody. I do agree that the dick/pussy/asshole part was overplayed, though. The key to this kind of humor is fast pacing-- anything that slows it down doesn’t work.

Why you bust my balls, Hans Brix? I laugh just thinking about those scenes.

I saw the uncensored version and thought it was great. The bad news is that I saw it on the advice of my son. . . who is eleven. That freaked me out.

Oh, and does anyone have a link to the Meryl Streep porn???

:wink:

To be more specific, the puppets rotate through every sexual position that you can see in pornography today. One after the other after the other. It was getting really boring. You start to think, “Jeebus! How long are they going to drag this on? What is the point? Surely there can’t be anything more to this.” And you are just about to get up and get a beer when one puppet squats over the other one and poops. Took me by suprise and got a laugh out of me. Without that last act it would have been really boring. Like the entire rest of the movie.

I thought the movies was an hilarious parody of big budget action films. I loved the way the puppet “acting” wasn’t very far at all from that of your average live-action action film. The lush lighting on the puppet’s faces during the close-ups was hilarious. The “silence of the goats” soliloquy had me in stitches. And the extended, explicit, multi-position XXX puppet sex scene had me in stitches, because it was preceded by all the sappy romantic cliches typical of action films.

Don’t forget the rim job!

I agree that the movie isn’t as good as SP:BLU, but it’s a different movie. You might as well say it’s not as good as Animal House.

This is an example of the type of humor that makes the movie for me. When you first see this moment, it’s kind of “meh,” but when you think about it for a second, it’s hilarious. And the “signal for help” joke keeps me laughing for days.

Evil Captor, good call: Parker and Stone said in an interview (it migh be on the DVD; I forget) that their goal in making the film was not to make a “satire” of a big-budget action movie, but to go ahead and just make a standard big-budget action movie, with stupid-looking puppets. Granted, at times the movie went WAY off into satire-land, but many of the scenes would have been completely unremarkable if they’d been shot with live actors and spliced into a movie like Armageddon or Pearl Harbor.

By the way, the action scenes in TA:WP were choreographed by the same guy who did the fight scenes in the Matrix movies.

One of the funniest movies I’ve seen in my life. Couldn’t tell you why. It just was. My gut hurt and there were tears streaming down my eyes.

It’s like watching your parents have sex and laughing your ass off and afterwards you wonder how you could laugh at something so awful you’re not supposed to laugh at, but you did.
