favorite quote.

i subconsciously quoted this movie yesterday, and laughed like a hyena because i totally didn't realize i did it. this is one of my favorite parts of the movie-where blinkin is up on the lookout platform and robin walks up and says "hey blinkin, what ya up to?"

and blinkin says "guessing...i GUESS there's no one coming....."

for some reason that whole scenario is so damn funny to me.

most of my favorites include blinkin, probably because the fact that he's blind mixed with the fact that he doesn't seem to hear too well create some funny situations.

other favorites:

achoo: i'm achoo.
blinkin: A JEW!!??!

then there's the part where blinkin catches the arrow "i heard that coming a mile a way"
then robin says something and blinkin's like "excuse me? is someone talking?"

also, little john: blinkin, fix your boobs, you look like a bleedin' picasso!!

anyway, what are your favorite quotes from this hilarious movie?

[–] Muffin_ManLove 18 years ago

I like the quote that's in my sig. That's why it's in my sig. :P

Also, anything the Sheriff says.

And of course "They call me Little John. But don't let my name fool you. In real life, I'm very big."

I also like Dave Chapelles' line when everyone reacts to a black sheriff. "Why not? It worked in Blazing Saddles."

King illegal forest to pig wild kill in it a is!!!!!!
-what?

I used that quote in psychology. I think it was the confused speech of schizophrenia. Not sure. The teacher loved it though. she now thinks i'm a genius! And I are!

Dr. Peter Blood: Now there you're mistaken. However far this slave may go, he won't forget. That's a characteristic that the Irish have in common with the elephants.

[–] cruiseberry 18 years ago

It was quite a long time since I watched this hilarious movie, but one quote I remember is when the sheriff says: "He deered to kill the king's dare..." I don't know why I find that so funny.

Another personal favorite is:

Sheriff: Excuse me, but wasn't your mole on the other side of you face?
Prince John: I HAVE A MOLE?!?!?
(I'm not sure I got the exact words right)

"If you don't know where you are going, any road will get you there."

[–] antiprep_01 16 years ago

Wanna know something really funny and completely coincidental?? I'm watching this movie right now and as i was reading your post about the mole quote that part came on like at the same time. It was so totally cool!

[–] cohaineo 16 years ago

I was going to use the same quote with my Psych prof but forgot the exact order (or disorder) of ther words. ahahhaa

"HEY ABBOT!"

"....I HATE THAT GUY!"

[–] classic-movie-lover 18 years ago

Haha, this is an absolutely hilarious movie with so many highlights to choose from, but I'm gonna have to agree with mattrules1...
"Hey Abbott!!"..
"I HATE that guy"
my friends and i quote that second line incessantly.
LOVE this movie..soo underrated.

The whole song and dance routine to "We're Men in Tights (Manly men in tight tights!)" We're butch!

Robin: I'm Robin Hood and these are my merry men
Rabbi: Faygellas? (sp?)
Robin: No, we're straight--just merry!

Prince John: Interesting name, Latrine
Latrine: We changed it in the 12th Century
PJ: You changed it to Latrine??
Latrine: It used to be Sh*thouse.
PJ: It's a good change!

"My full name is Will Scarlet O'Hara. We're from Georgia"

"That happy little bluebird left a happy little doodoo on your hand, my lady!"

(Actually pretty much any line Brunhilda and the Sheriff say are a hoot)

When all else fails, read the instructions!

[–] beka3 18 years ago

"I can SEE!!!...Nope, I was wrong."

"What part of Georgia are you from? South Central?"

"Blimey these are hard to get on. Let's face it: You've gotta be a man to wear tights! Well, how're me seams?"
"Perfect."
"Every time!"

"Let's get out of these ladies' clothing, and get into our tights!"

And then the "inspirational speeches" by Robin and Achoo. So funny...

The whole scene of Robin arriving home it's itarious:

Blinkin: Oh Master Robin!You lost your arms in battle! But you grew some nice boobs.

Blinkin: Oh, this never would have happened if your father was alive.
Robin Hood: He's dead?
Blinkin: Yes.
Robin Hood: And my mother?
Blinkin: She died of pneumonia while - oh, you were away!
Robin Hood: And my brothers?
Blinkin: There were all killed by the plague.
Robin Hood: My dog, Pogo?
Blinkin: Run over by a carriage.
Robin Hood: My goldfish, Goldie?
Blinkin: Eaten by the cat.
Robin Hood: My cat?
Blinkin: Choked on the goldfish. Oh, it's good to be home, ain't it, Master Robin?

[–] Gingertom 18 years ago

BLINKIN- I can see (then runs into a tree) No I was wrong.

ROBIN- No we're straight just merry.

RABBI TUCKMAN- You prince of theives you

ROBIN- Blinkin they've taken the castle
BLINKIN- I thought it felt a bit draughty

Sheriff of Rottingham: Sire, I have news!
Prince John : And what sort of news do you have? It's not bad news, is it? You know I can't take bad news. The day started out so good. I had a good night's sleep, I had a good B.M. I don't want to hear any bad news. So, what kind of news is it?
Sheriff of Rottingham: Well, to be perfectly frank, it's bad.
Prince John: [shouts] I knew it! I knew it would be bad news. Wait, I have an idea. Maybe if you tell me the *bad* news in a *good* way, it wouldn't sound so bad.
Sheriff of Rottingham: [thinking] The bad news in a good way. Yes, I can do that. The bad news in a good way. Well, here it goes.
[hysterically]
Sheriff of Rottingham: W-wait till you hear this! I just saw Robin of Locksley, he's back from the crusades.
[laughs]
Sheriff of Rottingham: You know, he just beat the *crap* out of me and my men.
[laughs]
Sheriff of Rottingham: He hates you and he loves your brother, Richard!
[laughs]
Sheriff of Rottingham: And...
[laughs]
Sheriff of Rottingham: ... he wants to see you hanged!
[laughs]
Sheriff of Rottingham: We, we're in a lot of trouble!
[laughs and snorts loudly]
Prince John: [furious] What, are you crazy? Why are you laughing? This is terrible news!

My kids and I do this quote together at least once a week. For some reason it goes with what is happening in our lives at that moment. (don't ask)

Achoo: Hey, Blinkin.
Blinkin: Did you say, "Abe Lincoln?"
Achoo: No,I didn't say,"Abe Lincoln." I said, "Hey, Blinkin." Hold the reigns.

And, did you ever notice that when Blinkin goes to grab the reigns (or maybe Achoo actually moves Blinkin's hand up to the reigns--can't remember for sure)... the poor horse gets smacked right in the nose.

Anyway...great movie.

"My name's Little John, oh but don't let my name fool you! In real life, I'm really big."
"I'll take your word for it."

"King, king, and which king might that be? King Louis? King Richard? King Kong?... Larry King?"

"You lizard seems limp..."
"Yeah, well, you know at my age..."

"This looks like a seder at Vincent Price's house!"

[–] Messalina 18 years ago

And also,

robin: "Watch my back!"
ahchoo: "Your back just got punched twice.."

Ahchoo: Wait a minute bad guys, I am running outta air. I gotta get pumped.

[–] jezreel_s 18 years ago

robin flips the sheriff upsidedown under his horse and then
sheriff: "I was mad before but now im really pissed off"
achoo: "If was that close to a horse's weiner id be worried about getting pissed ON"

lol classic

[–] depabillaba 18 years ago

I absolutely love Filthy Luca when he joins in with Don Giovanni, the Sheriff and Dirty Ezio. First saying, like out of nowhere:
"I am thanking you... for inviting us... on the day of your daughter's wedding. I pray that your first child... be a masculine child."

HAHAHA PRICELESS! Hilarious!

And of course the other classic:
"I shall take these cottonballs from you with my hand and place them in my pocket."

[–] ekeckert83 18 years ago

Um...all of them. But seriously...I'll list what I can think of...

"King illegal forest to pig wild kill in it a is!"
"Wasn't your mole on the other side?" "I have a mole?"
"Hey Blinkin!" "Did you say Abe Lincoln?"
"I can see!" *crashes into tree* "No...I was wrong"
"I heard that coming a mile away" "Nice work Blinkin" "Pardon? Who's talking?"
"We'll bless them all until we get fashnikit!!" (sp?)
"Don Giovanni, your lizard seems limp" "Well, at my age..."
"Loxley and Bagelle" just because it's Lox and Bagels, haha.

And, well, every other line in the film.

[–] Cruelhepcat 18 years ago

the scene after Robin saves Little John from "drowning" he runs to his horse and falls cause he couldn't jump high enough and the scene pans to Achu and he says "white men can't jump".

Just smile and wave, boys. Smile and wave

[–] Caim 18 years ago

Blinkin: I saw that coming a mile away.
Robin: Thanks Blinkin.
Blinkin: Pardon, who's talking!
