Funniest part of the movie


You guys might not agree with me but i think the funniest part of the movie is the look on Fritos face right after he asks Joe "If you gave me 30 billion and the time machine is 20, whats minus 30 20" and Joe says 80 Billion.

When Joe is trying to work out how time travel works.

"But why am I still here"?


"Don't worry, I'm a gun club member, I'm taking these rookies downtown".

LOVED- "Go away! 'Batin." And "Welcome to Cosco. I love you."

But, another part I love is when Joe is escaping jail. He runs out the door the machine guns go off, shooting each other, and missing him.


Well, his pants stayed on, so that's a good sign. And....Wait! Do I smell cookies?

GO AWAY! BAITIN'!!!

Funniest was probably the prison escape and perhaps the escape "plan".

Hands down I have to say that the prosecutors' speech had me doubling over in laughter. No matter how many times I watch this film it always gets me to smile: Okay, number one your honor, just look at him and b., we've got all this, like, (scoff) evidence about how like this guy didn't even pay at the hospital and I heard he doesn't even have his tattoo. (crowd boos) I know, and I'm all "You've got to be *beep* me!" but check this out man. The judge should be, like, guilty. Peace.

The atrocious grammar is hysterical in that not only would that never be allowed in modern court but also that the crowd applauds it as well. Some other gems were "Welcome to Costco, I love you." and the look on Frito's face when Joe tries to explain to him why he would not get any money if there was no time machine. His confused stammering seems so genuine that it's priceless. Finally I have to give it to the post-credit scene with Upgrayedd showing up to go "find this ho".

1. When Joe suggests using water to grow the crops and the cabinet members reply: Water .... from the toilet?

The fact that their only reference for water is the toilet so funny. That whole scene when they are so brainwashed by advertising that they believe sports drink with electrolytes "is what plants crave" is just hilarious.

2. When Frito is taking Luke and Rita to Costco and he says something like "I know this place. I got my law degree here."

3. The fact that in the future people will be so lazy and obsessed with watching TV that they need the toilet integrated with chairs/sofas so they won't have to break their stupor and go relieve themselves in private and with dignity.


4. Every scene that showed subtlty could not survive in the future and that even sex had to be discussed in the most basic, obvious ways because the people couldn't decipher double entendre or metaphor. Wow.

The entire movie/satire is pretty brilliant (and prophetic).

When Joe is introduced to the Secretary of Education

Funniest part for me was when he was getting his ID tattoo and didn't understand how to enter his name so he said "I'm not sure."

IPPA Computer: Thank you! Please speak your name as it appears on your current federal identity card, document G24L8!
Joe Bowers: I'm not sure if...
IPPA Computer: You have entered the name "Not Sure." Is this correct, Not Sure?
Joe Bowers: No, it's not correct...
IPPA Computer: Thank you! "Not" is correct. Is "Sure" correct?
Joe Bowers: No, it's not, my name is Joe...
IPPA Computer: You have already confirmed your first name is "Not." Please confirm your last name, "Sure."
Joe Bowers: My last name is not "Sure!"
IPPA Computer: Thank you, Not Sure!
Joe Bowers: No, what I mean is my name is Joe...
IPPA Computer: Confirmation is complete. Please wait while I tattoo your new identity on your arm!

Joe: Oh, this is f---ing great!

Haha - we're already here. When you make a phone call to the bank for instance and you have to speak your instructions instead of talking to a human. After the phone finally can't understand what I want I curse at it, and then it says "hold on and I will get a representative for you." Sheesh - whatever happened to being able to talk to a person? Oh yeah, we had to lay them off so the executives can get their big fat paychecks and bonuses.

The whole intro and family tree diagram is hysterical...

So is the part in the hospital where Joe is describing his ailments, and the nurse is moving her finger around the board with all the diagrams that show what hurts lol. That's SO funny to me because at some Burger kings and stuff, they have pictures now for burger, or drink...lol

And then the movie about "Ass" and show about ball kicking. That's basically the movie Jackass now...

I probably laughed the most at:

"Go away...baitin'!"


lol

Lots of funny scenes, but my favorite was that advertising billboard with the muscular guy smoking "If you don't smoke Tarrlytons, F&^k you!"

Hilarious!

Was that Scott Thompson from Kids in the Hall?

Batin' gets me every time. I named my wireless router batin.

I like when the guards ask if they can go "family style" on Rita. Made me spit my soda all over the livingroom, soo wrong.
