The funniest part in movies at general is in this movie


most of the movie isnt so funny. hell, i didnt even laugh once through it. But the part where the hitman shoots himself, that made me laugh for like 20 minutes. By far one of the funniest parts i have ever seen in a movie so far.

I disagree with you, but the hitman part was hilarious. The way George Clooney looks when he is sprayed with the enhaler---that look of shock and confusion after bracing himself for a bullet in his skull---was absolutely priceless.

reply

I agree. I died laughing when he shot himself, but I didn't laugh at all through the rest of the movie, except for when the French concierge was taking the oath when he went to testify in the courtroom.

Wrigley: Uh, I'll just have a, um, salad, please. Um, baby field greens.
Nero's Waitress: What did you call me?
Wrigley: Uh, no, I-I... I-I didn't call you anything.
Nero's Waitress: You want a salad?
Wrigley: Yeah. Do you... Do you have a, uh, green salad?
Nero's Waitress: What the *beep* color would it be?

Loved the part where George Clooney first talks to his ancient boss with all the tubes going into him...kinda horrifyingly funny in a spooky way. Also loved the part with the Baron von Espy. "It was ZAT silly man!"

reply

Yeah-Rex Rexroth as the sillyman
I know a guy whose last name
is Silliman-but George was very
good at playing his part.

I enjoyed the scene where he was waiting
to talk with Herb and chose a magazine
*Living without Intestines and opened to
the centerfold and his expressions was
priceless.

My favorite moment is the discussion between Clooney and the other lawyer regarding whether 'Kirchner' applies or not...

that always makes me break out laughing... :D

Kirshner was in Kentucky!!



If my answers frighten you then you should cease asking scary questions.

My favorite part:

Miles Massey: All right, so much for the ice-breakers. What are you after, Freddy?
[takes a drink of water]
Freddy Bender: My client is prepared to settle for 50 percent of the marital assets.
[Miles spits out some water]
Miles Massey: Why only 50, Freddy? Why not a hundred? While we're dreaming, why not 150? Are you familiar with "Kershner"?
Freddy Bender: "Kershner" does not apply.
Miles Massey: Bring this to trial, we'll see if "Kershner" applies.
Rex: What's "Kershner"?
Miles Massey: Please, let me handle this.
Freddy Bender: "Kershner" was in Kentucky.
Miles Massey: "Kershner" was in Kentucky?
Freddy Bender: "Kershner" was in Kentucky.
Miles Massey: All right, Freddy, forget "Kershner". What's your bottom line?
Freddy Bender: Primary residence, 30 percent of remaining assets.
Miles Massey: What, are you nuts? Have you forgotten "Kershner"?



"C'mon...you're better than that!"

I agree. *spoiler* Although I didn't snicker once throughout the rest of the film. That scene with the asthmatic hit man switching his inhaler for his weapon was probably the funniest bit I've ever seen in a movie. I was cracking highs laughing so hard.

It was deserving of a chuckle but I would hardly call it the funniest moment in film history.

The knack to flying lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.
