Funniest Part?

#1 has to be (for me) the snowmobile story - from the "wet dog" smell of the seat cover to his balls vibrating for hours after that whole speach had me rolling.

Second would be the sushi bar; the way the chefs repeated happily and loudly everything the customers said was great.

Lot's of other laughs but those two parts stand out and still crack me up no matter how many times I see the movie.

I'm Invincible..You're a Looney!
Camelot! Camelot! Camelot....It's only a model......Shhh!

I'm watching it right now, so it's not completely over yet, but so far my favorite parts were:

When they were showing the short clips of his misjudgements when he fell off the roof! ahaha!

and the part with the spaghetti. i always see that clip on youtube in like meryl videos but never saw the actual thing until now. lmao!

So many great lines and scenes in this comedy classic, I'm sure someone has already mentioned this exchange:

Daniel: "So I'm on trial for my life?"

Diamond: "In the first place, I don't like to call it a trial and in the second place, yes!"

And the whole Sushi Bar scene "take a piss!" too funny!!

* The part when Sam the lawyer tells Daniel his substitute defender is "quiet, but excellent."

Daniel goes: "Yes, very quiet."

* "Nine days. Ooh. I will bring you some pies."

* Daniel going on and on about the "bond" he had with his father.

* "Your balls vibrate."

* "You remind me of a poodle." "Do you have a minute?" and later..."Bye bye!"

* "I'm the dunce of the universe!"

* "You don't get to go back forever. Eventually they throw you away."

* "Do you like cheese on your broccoli?" "Just a little." The waiter pours on a whole glob of cheese.

The Italian waiter:

Waiter: "How many days you lookin' at?"

Danie: "Nine."

Waiter: Funny face.

Waiter: "Hey, I like you. Do you like pie?"

Daniel: "Very much."

Waiter: "I'm gonna make-a you nine pies."

Later, the waiter brings the pies in huge boxes, embarrassing Daniel in front of the prosecutor.

"I don't want these pies."
"You told me to make-a you these pies."
"No I didn't.
"Yessa you deeeed."

The way the waiter says the last line is hilarious.
