I think the funniest line in the movie is:
Would you shut up BITCH!

I think it would have been funnier had it been delivered with a more gay accent, but it's still the funniest.

Runner up is when Eliot says: "I want to be good looking...no GREAT looking."
And then when he comes out as the erudite author he just looks like the Brendan Fraser we all know. Up until my wife started giggling, I was just thinking "Huh, he just looks like himself in this segment, why didn't they dress him up like in the other segments?" They I looked at my wife and I got the joke.

Another really funny line will be lost on today's viewer. Near the start of the movie when Eliot is on the telephone support line at work, he delivers a line something like this:
"Let's see, you've got 128MB RAM and 250 gigabyte hard drive and you say it locks up when you try to print?" Today's viewer won't notice because we actually have computers now with those approximate specs, but when this movie came up few people had even heard of a one-gigabyte hard drive and we were probably running on 16 to 32 MB RAM. So the computer that Eliot describes is some futuristic way advanced computer, but yet still is the same old crap, locking up when you try to print. That's the joke.

Sadly I think the joke very closely mirrored the future reality...and that's a joke but not very funny.

Whatever executive made them cut the rockstar scene did the right thing, but he should have gone on to fire/fine/blacklist the director & supervising producers for that shocking lack of judgement and subsequent collosal waste of money. Yes it's funny if you can swallow it & easier to swallow since we are not forced to watch it along with the rest of the sweet/cute movie, & it's great as a historical document of Brendan, but it's way too dark to fit into this movie. It would have changed the entire tone.

It's interesting that in the original Dudley Moore movie the rockstar scene is the only good scene & it's not dark. Odd how they took the one good scene from there & murdered it.

They made it better, with this one you can actually laugh. But tastes differ.

Are youv saying that you don't like the rockstar scene in the original? I thought it was pretty good, , , the only good thing in that movie. Not that it was anything all that great. It stood out more than it might have because the rest of the movie was so lousy.

I liked on the beach when Alison says she wants a guy who just pretends to like her to get in her pants. And the guy says "yeah that'd be me".

"darling, i've got an earthquake in chile in eight minutes.", there are several funny bits taking place in alison's bedroom, one where i thought it seemed elizabeth hurley had a hard time keeping a straight face when elliot was jumpy and remarking how he had the same feeling as in the movie "ghost" and she then delivers the line "darling, i've got an earthquake in chile in eight minutes.". if you want a similar story to this, check out the episode "printer's devil" in the (45 minute long) season 4 of the classic black and white twilight zone series, also available as a radio dramatization in "the twilight zone radio dramas". notice when there's a crowd you seem to hear someone say "yeah baby" in the fashion of the "austin powers" movie, which also starred elizabeth hurley, i thought that was sort of perhaps a nod to that movie, same thing happened when another actor from austin powers starred in the twilight zone radio drama "a piano in the house" you hear the line "oh behave".

in our business youre not fair,
use venus tactic to get anywhere,
a magic impossible to fight,
a charm that knocks out,
i struggle to be number one,
as you embrace my soul while play my mind,
raconteur at the table clean me out,
lost poker face as you hold ace,
a joker that cant escape your plague.
