Tastes like paint...and wood


That's my favorite part, that and the buck teeth picture part where the photogrpaher is like "Smoo-ile"

Then there's this part:

Alice: Hi George, this is Alice Mitchell, I was just wondering are you feeling allright?
Mr. Wilson: NO I'M NOT FEELING ALLRIGHT. YOUR SON JUST SHOT AN ASPERIN DOWN MY THROAT...WHEN I WAS A CHILD!!!

And I know everybody else's favorite part: "New pajama pants, God bless 'em"

Anybody else...

I always liked the part where Wilson gets shot in the balls from behind with a golf ball from the shop vac. I remember when I was young, they aired it on tv and cut out the part where the golf ball hits his family jewels and it would skip from the golf ball being shot to Wilson standing up. I used to think the ball got stuck in his ass lol.

My favorite part is: 'Nobody stole your doll Margret. Maybe a bear at it.'

My favorite part is towards the very end. When Switchblade Sam is all tore up and he's sitting in the back of the cop car and Dennis gives him his knife back. Sam flips the knife open and is about to stab Dennis when the cop shuts the door and smashes Sam's hands in it. I just about cry laughing every time.

I also love how much trouble Dennis causes for Sam while he's being held hostage.
Dennis: "I'm sorry you're not having a very fun camping trip."
Sam: "Kid shoots a marble at me and sets my pants on fire."
Dennis: "That was an accident."
Sam: "Well there ain't gonna be no more ACCIDENTS!"

And I love all the parts with Gunther. That little cross-eyed kid is so adorable.

Also the part when Polly and Mickey babysit Dennis. First off, I think it's pretty funny that Polly brings her boyfriend over while babysitting, and he actually ends up taking care of Dennis, supervising his bath-time and reading to him. It's also pretty cute that the guy can barely read. lol

This movie has so many cute parts, I could go on and on.

I love "and I would have been a swell fireman", still makes me laugh
I also love the introduction of switchblade SAM, very mysterious and creepy. The tone,location,music and direction and production design all make it brilliant.
