Re is supposed to be Ray. WTF.
Only an idiot that cannot read re (or do or mi or any other two letters word) would get this idiotic joke.
I always believed that Egon was just being egocentric or something like that.
It took only 32 years, that's how good the joke is. It still is funnier to think Egon just was being quirky.
people don't believe Egon has a sense of humor. He does it's just more subtle than the others. I got it as a little kid. i think I am like Egon in personality.
You said the joke was stupid and explained why you were unable to get it right away and how people who do get it must not be able to read. From that it was quite easy to conclude that it is you who is stupid. Not the joke.
Just about everything you wrote indicated that you're stupid.
Sometimes jokes just land at different ages I guess.
At least your still enjoying the movie. Some people don't care for #2, but I always liked it. The court scene was my favorite. The tub slime was the creepiest.
Weren't you one of the SJ Warriors on the battlefield for Lady Ghostbusters on IMDB in 2016? Still mad the originals are better than the McCarthy reboot?
Hey, if you liked it, good for you. I watched Ghostbusters II when it came out and thought it was shitty, then watched it again at home before the most recent Ghostbusters film came out and hated it just as much. I think Vigo was an uninspired retread of Zuul, and the entire movie was a poorly conceived, badly written, and half-assedly performed mess.
Yes, all true Gb2 is inferior to the original and messy etc.
But that turd from 2016 is an insult to Gb, comedy, filmmaking and humanity.
It is not comparable to Gb or Gb2. It would loose against a video of a colonoscopy.
I disagree with you. Both Peter and Ray seem to act annoyed that Egon responded that way. But obviously the joke is that Ray sings his name so Egon just sings his name. That's how I always interpreted it.
Yes that used to be my interpretation too. But it is not the joke.
They are annoyed because Egon does not get that Ray is just continuing do, re, mi, fa etc, and he is not saying his own name. So, instead of mi,he says Egon.
Joke which you would get only if you also say "rey" instead of "re" to read re.
It is do re mi fa sol la si, NOT dough rey me fay soul la sey.
I thought I understood what you meant in your original post, but are you saying its really NOT pronounced dough ray me fah soul la tea dough?
do re mi fa sol la ti do
That is the way you pronounce it. At least thats what my elementary school taught. Unless the sound of music changed the way its pronounced.
I got the joke as a child. Egon is continuing the do re mi in his own smarmy fun way as "me" is another way for him to say "Egon" so he decided to throw them off on purpose by saying Egon. You seem to understand the joke now, but you are also writing that they are saying it wrong anyway?
