Some Like It Hot, Airplane, There's Something About Mary or
Bridesmaids everyone has a favourite funny flick and often it is one scene, one exchange or one line that does it for them every time they re-watch it. Here are some of the all-time greatest comedy quotes from some of the all-time funniest films.
“Remember, you're fighting for this woman's honour, which is probably more than she ever did.”
Groucho Marx, Duck Soup (1933).
“Hey, doll. Could you scare up another round for our table over here? And tell the cook this is low grade dog food. I've had better food at the ballgame, you know? This steak still has marks from where the jockey was hitting it.”
Rodney Dangerfield, Caddyshack (1980).
“May I start by saying how thrilled we are to have you here. We are such fans of your music and all of your records. I'm not speaking of yours personally, but the whole genre of the rock and roll.”
Fred Williard, This is Spinal Tap (1984).
“I had a good relationship with my parents. They very rarely h-... I think they hit me once, actually, in my whole childhood. They, they, uh, started beating me on the 23rd of December in 1942, and stopped beating me in the late Spring of '44.”
Woody Allen, Bananas (1971).
“You have the whitest white-part-of-the-eyes I've ever seen. Do you floss?”
Charlie Sheen, Hot Shots! (1991).
“When I first came here, this was all swamp. Everyone said I was daft to build a castle on a swamp, but I built in all the same, just to show them. It sank into the swamp. So I built a second one. That sank into the swamp. So I built a third. That burned down, fell over then sank into the swamp. But the fourth one stayed up. And that's what you're going to get, Lad, the strongest castle in all of England.”
Michael Palin, Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1974).
