OMG! I NEVER NOTICED THESE HILARIOUS BITS!!!


I watch this movie religiously and I think the reason it's so good is because you can go back and back and back and still find awfulness to uncover just when you thought you found it all. OK, so I had to point out a few things I noticed as I would like to discuss them with members of this board:

1. When Mr. and Mrs. Waits are talking downstairs, did you notice the picture on the back wall (with the light shining on it) is NOT their family!?

2. DId you notice that even though Mr. Waits says there is only 26 people living in the town including the family they are switching off with, they pass a street sign that says "122TH STREET" or something in the 100s like that. Call me stupid but how are 26 people supposed to be spread out over 100 streets?! WHAT?!

3. The dad turning on the car, when it was already on.

The mother's favorite song is "Row, Row, Row your Boat." That's as sad as it is funny.

"The mother's favorite song is "Row, Row, Row your Boat." That's as sad as it is funny."

Not only that, but she doesn't even seem to remember the name. She just refers to it as "that song I like so much."

That scene seemed lifted directly from another terrible movie called Manos Hands of Fate (another scene where a family sings "Row Your Boat" during a road trip. Appropriately enough.

The preacher scene is awesome. I love how the preacher guy is just saying stuff like "stinky, fish, meat, carcass" and they all go "ugghghghg" in sync. On one occasion they all go "ugghhh", then pause, then say go "uggghh" again even though the preacher hasn't said anything new. It's just so unnecessarily stupid that it's amazing.

And the Sheriff is fantastic - firstly for his crazy laughing at the kid's question (about Nilbog girls) and then when he says "eat these or we'll be forced to kill you violently". The sentence is just so cluttered that it's brilliant.

For me the best scene was when guys watchin some strange movie on TV where monkey fly with some rocket (?). Hilarious.

reply

"Don't tell me they ate him Grandpa!"
"That's *exactly* what happened! With a voracity that has no equal on Earth!"

Every time the goblins eat, they just kind of half-heartedly smear the green paste onto their mouths. Voracity indeed.

Mrs. Waits (deadly serious): Michael, who are the goblins?
Mr. Waits: The goblins? (chuckles)
*end scene*

I too loved the dancing monkey movie that the guys were watching. Anyone know what that is?

I also loved the one oddball goblin that had bizarrely protuberant eyes. And when the camera focuses on that goblin and its eye explodes, oh my god, I nearly died laughing.

And, of course, the greatest line ever, "A DOUBLE DECKER BOLOGNA SANDWICH!" ...Which is delivered while the kid is holding what looks like an entire pack of wrapped Kahn's bologna in between two pieces of white bread.

reply

Yes, "a double decker bologna sandwich" is an all-time classic. Creedence and her goblins' horrified reaction to it is also gold. "Think about the CHOLESTEROL! Think about THE TOXINS!"

Also like how "good-for-nothing" is apparently the worst epithet Mr. Waits and Grandpa Seth can come up with for their respective daughters' suitors. Never mind the classic dad with the shotgun, these guys are the real deal.

reply

I like that on the "house that looks like a church," the sign identifying it as a meetinghouse and stating the Ward was clearly shown (wonder how the people from that Ward liked it?) but when they hold "church" it is in a falling-apart barn.

reply

Actually, in the scene where Joshua's mom is saying goodnight to him at the beginning of the movie, you can see he's got a poster in his room with what looks like an evil clown on it. No wonder the kid keeps saying he can talk to his dead grandpa...

reply


OMG, I died. DIED when I heard "DOUBLE DECKER BOLOGNA SANDWICH!!" and their reaction!!! I am now floating around a house that I don't know the layout of yet along with Grampa.

The monkey film is mentioned in the Movie connections page on IMDb.

When one of the goblins licks its lips you can see the human mouth behind the mask.

- In the beginning the Mom shows so much compassion for her dead father by telling the kid to "banish him from your mind". Yeah that's the proper way to grieve over a loved one.

- Also I second all the talk about the green/blue goo food. The humans thought it looked delicious and were just ready to dive in. Ick.

- The whole switch houses thing. Why would you even do it? Would you want some complete strangers living in your home for a month? How was it even set up in the first place?

- Also given all the buildings/vehicles/roads etc. in the town, the goblins must do things like drive cars, live in houses etc. I imagine they're tired after a long day of eating people and just want to kick back in their easy chair...

- Okay and what was with those awful painted on freckles on the girls' face at the very beginning. They looked like she had come down with some disease!

Did you also notice that the girl is looking straight ahead in the camera shot, while the guy is laying down? hahaha

Chainsaw scene

The chainsaw sounds like a chainsaw up until it starts to cut Arnold down to size, at that moment it turns into a jackhammer noise.

Why on earth they decided that a jackhammer sounds more like a chainsaw than a chainsaw does is beyond me.

reply

Goblins roar like lions.

seriously. The sound department again........ They decided a lion and a goblin HAVE to sound identical. How else would a goblin sound?

At the end, having planned on a month-long getaway from the city, which ended about four weeks early, the father has to head over to the office immediately upon his return, before even setting foot in the house.
