Oh I have several parts in this movie that were funny as hell. Here they are:

-Howard calling Pig Vomit's wife on the air, about his bad temper, to surprise Buckingham

-Howard and Fred doing their first act at WNBC, playing two gay guys

-The fight between Howard and Pig Vomit in his office, on the air, towards the end of the movie

-The "introduction" between Howard and Don Imus. *beep* Off!"

-The "Match Game" parody

-Howard "having sex" with the woman over the air

-Howard telling Robin about his Vietmam experience

I probably have more, but that's all I can name right now.

I thought the funniest part was when Howard got on the college radio station and dropped the stack of 8 track tapes on the Deep Purple record. Anyone else agree that version of "Smoke On The Water" seemed a bit hard??? What I mean is I've heard the digitally remastered version on cd and the record version seemed like the guitar riffs were much harder.

I also liked the part just before that when the blind girl turned him down for a date because she had alot of reading to catch up on.

I like the part where he is twelve years old and he is supposed to put on a play for church and he does uses puppets to do a sex show.

Just for the record, those were not 8 track tape cartridges. They were broadcast carts used for playback of short items such as commercials and jingles, and many stations also dubbed their music onto carts. As a matter of fact, this cart technology actually pre-dates the 8 track format.

There's both a stereo and mono version of cart machines. Both versions used a tape speed of 7.5 inches per second (i.p.s), which is faster than the 3 3/4 i.p.s. speed of 8 tracks (a few cart machines included a 15 i.p.s. option). Stereo carts used three tracks, two for audio (left and right channel) and one for cue tones. Mono cart machines used two tracks, one for audio and one for cue tones.

The carts in that particular scene are Scotch 3M brand Scotchcarts, and they don't use felt pressure pads behind the tape path like 8 tracks do. The light blue colored carts shown later in the movie were Audiomax / Audiopak brand (a division of Capitol Records) and this model does use felt pressure pads.

Cart lengths varied from as short as 10 seconds to as long as 10 1/2 minutes at 7.5 i.p.s. speed. They had the same graphite lubricant back-coating on the tape that is also used in 8 tracks. I think Scotchcarts used a silicone based lubricant backing, as opposed to graphite. Since cart machines use stationary tape heads, carts did not use the foil splicing tape found in 8 tracks. The splicing tape in carts is located on the back side of the tape, so that the splice could be recorded over without a slight audio drop out as the splice passed over the heads. However, many stations used splice finders so as not to record over that section of tape.

Carts also do not have the rubber pinch roller built into the shell. The pinch roller is inside the cart machine, and flies upward through a small opening in the cart's shell when the start button is pressed. Cart machines required quite a bit of maintenance due to their frequent use.

Without a doubt, the final scene during the credits were Kenny freaks out on the street. Paul Giamatti was at his best in this movie, and that scene capped it.

He is the *beep* anti-Christ!

Im watching it for the first time now...the most funniest part so far has been the mentally handicapped guy playing frisbee with Howard and wouldnt catch it and kept getting hit in the face instead of catching it.

Oh yes! That part, when Robin takes him back and he's says, "Isn't she amazing, taking care of retards all day." And then that guy is getting wacked by the Frisbee. Classic!!! When Fred gets in the tub after the movie premiere too.

All the fights between Howard and Pig Vomit. Paul Giamatti is an amazing actor! He is so cool, he is nothing like his character and he portrayed it perfectly. I just saw Sideways, Paul Giamatti was awesome in it. I think he is one of the best actors currently.

Jackie: My answer is "cock", and I wrote it really big, so I have a "big cock!"
Howard: I'm afraid you can't say "big cock" on the air. That's a no-no.
Robin Quivers: But I just said "pussy".
Jackie: [whining] Yeah, she just said *pussy*!
Howard: Well, pussy's okay. It's the way you say it. "Big cock" coming out of your mouth is, just not good.
Jackie: Wait a minute. I can't say "big cock", but you can say "big cock coming out of your mouth?"
Howard: That's right.
Jackie: That sucks!
[Pig Vomit, very pissed off, starts running for the studio]
Fred Norris: [as Richard Nixon] Did you just say "big cock coming out of your mouth that sucks"?
Howard: So Brett, what did you write down?
Robin Quivers: [as Brett Summers] Just like the boys, Gene. I've got "cock".
Howard: Do me a favor. Hold that up for a second so I can see your "cock".

That scene!
