Napolen is funny, arnold is WAYY better. Try it out.
rainjack okay loser we know you are the only one in your office…ha ha love your family
NO NO NO!!!
OMG, Xen back me up on this
Ok so appreciate ND, great movie, love the idea behind it
BUT YOU DON’T HAVE TO DEAL WITH STUPID SORORITY BITCHES QUOTING HIM ALL FUCKING DAY LONG
DONT FUCKING SAY GOSSSSSSSHHHHHHHH
If you are enrolled in a college right now you’d understand
PLEASE, for the love of god, do not let this happen to t-nation. this is my sanctuary whenever I hear stupid bitches all fucking day long. this is my no girl zone. this is my no stupid (except for quade) zone.
but just so you know, back in 1982 I could throw this here football a quarter-mile (ok so I love that quote)
oh and
how much you wanna bet I can throw this football over them mountains?
Sorry to offend Xen. But I think the Seinfeld remark was a bit across the line. Friends? - slam away.
hoosier - sorry to desecrate your happy place. Just know that I am running on Spike, no sleep, and coffee. I should be allowed my own little happy place here as a temporary haven from pissed off clients.
RainJack, No problem… I’ll leave seinfield alone- I tend not to get the show it’s just monotonous to me, but his comedy special’s were great. So I can buy that.
But something is wrong with “Friends”. All they needed to do was put Ryan Seacrest on there, and it would complete some sort of trifecta of evil in Hell and then it would be purely Satan speaking through the TV, snatching souls left and right.
Hoosier,
I can relate- but it’s not just Sorority brat’s it’s almost EVERYBODY, I know people who haven’t even seen the movie who quote it and make references to it. I know of people who’ve made references to it in their ESSAYS…and have TEACHERS compliment the jokes they use.
WHAT-THE-BLOODY-FUCKING-HELL
In the words of a real comedian, “Homie don’t play that…”
I can understand, ok you guys think it’s funny, and enjoyed the movie, but it is NOT part of popular culture. How is this movie all of a sudden becoming equated with like a comedic Donnie Darko. Most people don’t ‘get it’, some probably didn’t even crack a smile in the theatre (IF they saw it) but because everyone else finds it funny they’re dieing laughing too.
This happened to me with the Dave Chappelle skit about Rick James. I had watched it with friends…EVERYBODY but me thought it was stupid. No one laughed…I’m about to fall out my chair I’m laughing so hard.
A week or so later, everybody and their mom…“I’m Rick James, Bitch”
Like that magnificent Squirrel would say, (if you don’t know, find out)
Quit the bullshit, find a rock, take it inside with you to the bathroom, put your head in the tub, and smash your brains out. You do NOT have squirrely wrath."

I remember dancing to Superfreak in like 1983.
I remember gathering around the water cooler every Friday to talk about Seinfeld in the office.
Sometimes you had to be there to really appreciate certain things.
Anti-friends sentinments, I get. Frends had a lot of pretty bland, uninspired writing.
But I have a hard time getting people who don’t find Seinfeld funny. I could see rural people not getting it, but it surprises me when city people don’t relate to some of those plots. Granted, I have not grown up around black folks so I am willing to believe that there may be enough of a cultural rift that a group of people may fail to connect to how another group would react to situations such as waiting in a restaurant too long, being trapped in a relationship, getting lost in a parking lot, shopping for apartments, moving back in with one’s parents, job hunting, and so on. That and the darkness of much of the humour which I found so hysterical. Every week I watched and I laughed constantly with a knee slapping, “It’s funny because it’s true!” or “That is SO zany!” or “I wonder what the guys at work thought about that situation!”
Same goes with Napoleon Dynamite. I was highly amused from beginning to end. But maybe to some degree that movie mirrored aspects of my experiences growing up. We had those tetherball poles behind my school, you know? I grew up in geek culture.
I did notice certain trends when I lived in the States. I would go to an Ice Cube movie and be practically the only white person in the audience. Then I’d go to a Jackie Chan movie and again be practically the only white person in the audience but in a different way. Melting pot indeed, eh?
Most Canadians I have spoken to did not like this movie. And a lot of the intelligent Americans that I talk to stated that they liked the movie because it was more of a documentary than a comedy.
They said that if you ever go to IDAHO you will be more likely to appreciate the movie.
On another note. Seinfeld is the most brilliant comedy out there. Along with old simpsons of course.

Seinfeld is the best sitcom of all time. IMO. The guys on Friends were a bunch of winy pussies.
Sienfeld, in my opinion, was without a doubt the funniest, most clever comedy to ever hit the tube!

No doubt.

I have made it my lasting contribution to society (my legacy, if you will) to make sure that everyone I come in contact with knows of the pure comic genious that is Napoleon Dynamite.
Hey Rainjack, you wet the bed last night?
I don’t know - my mom buys me these nifty pull-up thingys and I’m dry all night.

Oh come on. Did you watch the deleted scenes on the DVD?
Check out:
I don’t have the DVD. I have it tivo’d from PPV.
I hate it when a joke goes over my head. And it happens a lot more than you might think.

such is the life of an accountant, i understand, its just as xen put it so elequently (ok there’s something i never thought i’d say) I hear all fucking day long. Every class, every conversation, every girl, I wish that morman bastard had never been born.
There was a rumor going around internet and college campuses day and night that he had died in a car crash.
Was it bad that I was praying that it was true? (j/k… sorta)

Too bad. The deleted scenes are almost better than the regular stuff.
I like the part when Pedro’s cousins in their low-rider freak out that bully.
