As I (previously) asked....give me all his (Benny-Hill-arious) zingers/lines/quotes?



Please?

reply

So you don't think he was funny in Kingpin?
He totally owned that movie.

reply

HE WAS GREAT IN CADDYSHACK...SO...HE'S GOT THAT GOING FOR HIM...WHICH IS NICE.

reply

Definitely... and lets not forget his small role in Little Shop of Horrors. Hilarious.

reply

He actually reprised Jack Nicholson's role in the 1960 original :

reply

Yep. He really made it his own, though.

reply

To me it was, by far, the funniest bit in the movie. But Jack laid down some markers.

reply

Definitely 🙂

Sometimes cameo bits are the best part of a comedy :

A lot of his comedy comes from his facial expressions and intonations, rather than gags per se. He's great as doing dead-pan, especially in a film like Ghostbusters or Groundhog Day, where he's dealing with bizarre situations.

reply

💯

reply

Depends on the role for me. Not very funny in Ghostbusters (he was a creep) but great in Ground Hog Day and Scrooged.

reply

He was very good in Groudhog Day, but never funny.

reply

You don't laugh when he propositions Ned? When he says "I'm not God, I am a God, but I'm not the God." When he outs the waiter?

reply

Nope. I enjoy it, but i never laugh. Ne was and still is a good actor, but wouldnt go as far as saying he is funny. For example, Joe Pesci is funny, Bill is not

reply

Really? I found him funny in a lot of scenes in Groundhog Day. Like when he drives irradically with the car. Or when he robs the bank truck. Or when he kidnaps the Groundhog. Also he was funny in Scrooged, Ghostbusters 1 and 2, The Man who knew too Little, What about Bob, and Zombie Land.

reply

Loved him in The Life Aquatic, Mt Rushmore.

reply

yes!

Agree. He always looks bored, as if he has something better to do than acting. Could have been easyly replaced with better, funnier actors.
