my favourite line was when Peter was dressed up in all the clothes he bought from the other black dudes, and he is in the room talking to Howie, and Howie says
"you lookin like all kinds of stupid" and Peter says in a way he thinks is slang.
"really? well i got this outfit from your mama!"

i thought it was hilarious!!

how about you guys? whats your favourite line or part?

ps: i don't know if i got the line exactly right, correct me if i'm wrong.

Well, my favorite line was when that old lady was with Steve Martin's son and they were about to go to the poker game. She started fuxing the little boy's hair and said, "Fix your hair. You look like a fag." lol I was rolling at that line.

Pretty much anything said by Betty White was hilarious because it was so ridiculous and she pulled it off so well.

My favoriate part was when the movie was OVER!

THIS FILM SUCKS!

[–] kenick 22 years ago

Those are all great lines, but one I thought was funny was when that guy says "straight trippin boo"...but the "fix your hair, you look like a fag" was probably better

A proper English actress like Joan Plowright saying, "I do believe I'm stoned."

This movie was worth it just to see Plowright smoke weed and Eugene Levy get cornrows.

It's not a great comedy, but it definitely has its moments. :)

"ah to hell with it! i do believe i'm stoned... but dont tell anybody, not even a soul..." absolutely funniest line, i rented this movie and when i heard that, i fell off the couch laughing. just the way she said it.

also, i liked "go back to the vodka bottle you crawled out of"

I liked the line when Charlene said she could talk like a white person and she kinda lightened her voice and said "Why Peter, I just love what you've done with the place" or something like that. Just something about the way she said it made me laugh.

I loved the line after Peter's sister-in-law told Charlene she shouldn't be at the club unless she was pushing a broom and Charlene responded:
"If I were pushing a broom it'd be to sweep up the white trash."

Oh, and when Peter woke Charlene up:
"Who dat!? Who want it with 'Lene!?"

Correction: In that scene when Peter was in the bar dressed up in the street clothes, he wasn't talking to Howie, he was talking to Widow, Charlene's boyfriend.

My favorite line was the really racist exploitative ignorant one that perpetuated all sorts of horrible stereotypes and negative interpretations of Black culture and exotification and comodification of a misrepresented race that made me remember that we haven't come as far from segregation as I had hoped....Oh wait..that was every line!

[–] MidniteDreamer07 21 years ago

One of my favorites that no one has mentioned is the one when they were in the company meeting and he says to Todd " You are such an ass..." drinks water "set to this company. Especially at the annual softball game" LoL I think I got the end part a little messed up but it's along the same line. This is one of the most hilarious movies I've seen though

[–] gfunk2004 21 years ago

You need to lighten up, sweety. Life's not as horrible as you think.

"looking at the (house name)", "Casing it","no to buy it","Oh, Please if they're in this neighborhood and not carrying a leaf blower (i forget the rest." <-------NOT EVERY LINE BUT MY FAV WAS
