Moments that made you (literally) lol

Watched this little gem over the weekend. So glad I decided to.

Without further ado...

Bill after watching a porno: "Are we going to hell for this?"
Haverchuck in general was probably the funniest character. His constant deadpan quips had me busting up all season.

Ken after getting the 'GTFO' look from Kim and Lindsay: "I think I'm gonna go pee."
The line itself isn't very funny. Just the slow realization of what the girls want and how he picks up on it.

"Get a woman laughin' and you get a woman lovin'." Forgot his name, but the Dungeon Master was hilarious all season. He reminds me of a guy I know who is geeky but seems like he's got it all figured out. Great character.

And, finally, fruit-rollups. Both times.

I bled in the mud for our family.

Nick: "What the hell - they didn't say you were allowed to do magic!"
HAHAHA that guy with the afro doing magic was so so random.

I assume I need no introduction.

That whole situation was really funny. I loved how they announced his name: Prepare for the magical stylings of... Eugene. And I loved how he slowly won the crowd over.

Why would a banana grab another banana? Those are the kind of questions I don't want to answer.

I think it went like this:

Bill: Guess who my mom is dating?
Sam: Neil's dad?

Kim Kelly's "DAMN" Reaction to Sams burp at the dinner table.

The way linsey double takes at the weird painting in the house while shes super high

Millies Jesus song on the piano at a keg party

Nick: You guys mind if i have this fruit roll up?

Sheila ran off with Dennis and left Krampus all alone in dirty-ass Baltimore.

I remember when i used to watch this show back in the day (yes, I'm one of the original viewers), my sister and I would always get excited during the opening credits when Bill flashes his smile. So I guess there's that scene.

Other great moments:
- The Sober Students Improv Players. All of that dialogue was gold. "Do you want some pop? I hope they have orange."
- When they talk about the dangers of fun-sized bars during Halloween. "They dip it in chocolate, so you only find out when it's too late."
- Any time Sam says, "Oh, hey, Cindy!" Especially in the pilot episode.
- Whenever Mr. Weir talks about people dying. Or really, whenever he says anything.
- Nick: "Mm, that smells delicious. What is that? Let me guess... Meat?" Mr. Weir: "Congratulations."
- Cindy telling Sam that he's like her sister.
- The whole "Lady" scene.
- Most of Ken's lines. "This is Mission Control, requesting permission to rock out."

Yeah, the Fruit Rollup query by Nick to Lindsay's parents in his sleepwear is killer.

Lady L is so bad it's good... love Ken's reaction once Nick finishes the song.

'Tubagirl?! Tubagirl??!'

So wrong but so funny... Franco absolutely kills that delivery.

Lindsay: What's the matter?
Nick: John Bonham died.
Lindsay: Yeah. I know. Last week.
Nick: He's dead. You know? It's like he's dead. And as a result there's no more Led Zeppelin.
Lindsay: Well why don't they just get a new drummer?
Nick: Are you— ? Just forget it.

nick's reaction when lindsay says why dont they just get a new drummer is hysterical.

During the Chokin'/Tokin' eps commentary, they all laugh that the kid Lindsay babysits is actually the same child actor voicing Nemo of Finding Nemo.
They all burst out laughing that he's in essence the most famous member of the entire F&G production! lols

Little did they know when it was recorded, many of the F&G alum would they themselves become big mainstream stars.

The scene as Stiller escorts Russo to the secure area:

Stiller: "Sometimes I just have to stand in one place for 12 hours and stare at a wall. You start to see things. Your feet, the pain in your feet."

Rosso: "Well it's an important job."

Stiller: "No it's not. You ever heard of the Vice President getting assassinated? Nope. You know why? It's never happened. Will it ever happen? No way. Because, who cares? Know what I mean?"

Mr. Fleck (Steve Higgins from the tonight show) scene:

"Oooo, I'm in pee wee football. I'm pretty good. What? I can be first string on a high school team and get to wear a jacket with leather sleeves. Hooray."

"Hey, I want to play college ball. What? My GPAs aren't high enough to get a sports scholarship. Ow. I just blew my knee out during practice. Oops, I'm out of school selling used cars. What? I'm fired? Hand me that bottle of booze man."

"Hold on cool breeze it gets better. What? I'm accepted at an ivy league college? Hey, chicks dig smart guys. Who knew? Whoa, look at me I'm the head of a Fortune 500 company. And yes Mr. jock that cleaned me out, I will have fries with that."

Kim: You guys, I killed Millie's dog.

Ken: Like, with your bare hands?
------

I love Seth Rogen's delivery of that line! Then again, almost every thing he says makes me laugh.

Mr. Rosso's rendition of "I'm Eighteen" is a great scene, too. I hear it all the time on Alice Cooper's 'Nights With Alice Cooper' radio show- always makes me want to watch Freaks and Geeks.

And that mask, it's not to hide who I am, but to create what I am.

I just saw an episode this morning that I barely remembered. Where tuba girl reveals that she was born a hermaphrodite. Ken's reaction is classic. He listens to David Bowie (fashion, turn to the left!) and is staring at playboy/playgirl type magazines.

WOW, So many moments!

1 - The Halloween episode (one of my favorites) Sam and his mom singing the monster mash at the table,and lindsey's reaction. Especially sam's face.
Also his tin man costume...I wast just dying the whole time, watching him try to walk around in it.

2 - Nick singing the "Lady" song to Lindsey

3 - Sam sitting in between his parents to watch TV - once again, his face!

4 - Dinner table scene, sam and lindsey's Dad playing with the chicken their mom made.

5 - Nick singing along with Millie at the Piano while she sings the jesus song.

6 - When cindy "cut the cheese" and and Bill was testing the chair

7 - Niel's jewish jokes

8 - When the geeks hear sam's parents having sex through the door. All their disgusted faces are priceless.

9 - Nick and the fruit rollups (of course)

10 - Sam streaking through school. Poor kid never gets a break.

11 - When all the gym students are reading the prank call in front of the coach. Especially alan white laughing through it.

But my top moment is definitely the monster mash. Classic.
