The title pretty much sums it up. I know you are all gonna either laugh at mine or go _“Huh?”_ Movie: **Murder by Death** Chauffeur: (in French accent)_Zere iz somezin wrong. I can feel eet in my buns._ French Detective: _You haf buns? Why did you not tell me you haf buns?_ Chaffeur: _Non non non. Ze buns in my body._ French Detective: _I told you, don’t speak with an accent when I am 'ungry._ 😃😃😃😃 For some reason just thinking of it gets a chuckle from me. So what is your, perhaps obscure, funniest movie line? ---

Ah, _Murder by Death_. I _love_ that movie. The sequel-in-spirit, _The Cheap Detective_, is excellent as well. My alltime favorite funny movie line, as I will tell anyone, is a simple classic : “Surely, you can’t be serious.” “I am serious… and don’t call me Shirley.” Simple joke, great delivery. But, another, paraphrased but as accurate as I can remember from _The Cheap Detective_: Nazi : “We must hurry! Schnell! Schnell!” Schnell : “Yes?” Nazi : “Not you. From now on, we only speak English. Now, Kvicker, kvicker!” Kvicker : “Yes?” Nazi : “Not you, Kvicker.” ---

“Yeah, we can be civilized… Whoa, check out the funbags on that hosehound!” Dumb and Dumber. Talk about delivery. The fact that they are in Day Glo tuxedos at the time (complete with matching top hats) helps. DaLovin’ Dj ---

Super Troopers has enough to fill this thread, but my favorite is: Thorny: But our shenanigans are cheeky and fun. Farva’s are stupid and cruel. They’re not even really shenanigans. Mac: Evil shenanigans. O’Hagen:I swear to God I’ll pistol whip the next guy to say shenanigans. Mac: Hey Farva, whats the name of the restraunt you like with all the goofy sh\*t on the walls? Farva: You mean Shenanigans? You’re talking about Shenanigans right? (Mac hands pistol to O’Hagen.) ---

So many quotes… I’ll have to use something from Cannibal! The Musical - seeing as the “Fudge, Packer?” probably isn’t all that funny for most people I’ll quote the fantastic “Ode to LeAnne” (sp?), a song sung by the main character, Alferd Packer, a song about his best friend - his horse, LeAnne. > [@](#): > > I’d pull her hair, and she’d know to stop. > And when she’d look behind her, I’d always be there. > And now I don’t know why, but she, > she’s gone away. > And all I can do is try to carry on. > > Your eyes, your smile > Made my little life worthwhile. > The sky was a lot more blue, > When I was on top of you. > When I was on top of you. From [here](http://www.cannibalthemusical.net/songs.shtml). Also, from the same movie: > [@](#): > > _The trappers get interrupted while singing a song about mutilating animals_ > > Humphrey: Oh, Stop! > Noon: That’s sick. > Frenchy: I agree. Nutter, you were singing in the wrong key! > Nutter: No I wasn’t. It was Loutzenheiser. I was singing in Eb minor. > Frenchy: The song’s in F# major! > Bell: I think they’re the same thing. I mean, Eb is the relative minor of F#. > Frenchy: No, it isn’t. The relative minor is 3 half-tones down from the major, not up! > Noon: No, it’s 3 down. Like A is the relative minor of C major. > Loutzenheiser: But isn’t A# in C major? > Bell: Wait, are you singing mixolydian scales, or something? > Frenchy: A# is tonic to C major. It’s the 6! > Humphrey: No it isn’t! > Swan: Well, it’d be like a raised 13th if anything. > Frenchy: Oh well. You guys are just a bunch of loser diggers anyhow! > Humphrey: Oh see. You know we’re right! In fact, is posting a whole movie script here frowned upon at all? ---

From \*\*Kung Pow : Enter the Fist \*\* - “_THAT’S A LOTTA NUTS_!” From **Zoolander** - “I was bulimic.” “You can read minds?” My favorite part of **Top Secret!** is the Macy’s jingle, though… “Do the tears on your pillow/ roll down as you turn/ do they short out … the blanket/ and make the sheets burn?” “Is your heart … filled with pain?/ Will you … come back again?/ Shop at Macy’s and love me tonight…” ---

Well, from The Big Lebowski, you could go with “Obviously, you’re not a golfer.” or “You know the Seattle Seven? That was me. … And six other guys.” There are too many good Marx Brothers lines to pick from, really. “Notables from every country are gathered here in your honor. This is a gala day for you.” _“Well, a gal a day is enough for me. I don’t think I could handle any more.”_ or “Ha ha ha ha ha ha… you can’t fool me. There ain’t no Sanity Clause.” or "That’s the fire escape… and that’s a table, and this is a room, and there’s the door and I wish you’d use it. I vant to be alone. " or "I see the table is set for four. " “_That’s nothing, my alarm clock is set for eight!_” ---
