Funniest Line: Hi There! Do You Want To Throw Some Balls?
During the bowling alley scene and spoken by a men with an obvious gay-sounding voice.
Also, what about Moocher's marriage? It seems as though that sub-plot was dropped.

I thought it was unnecessary homophobic bulls@#t, not the least bit funny.

And in case it wasn't obvious enough, the wardrobe department put the guy in a pink shirt.
shareA phobia is a fear of something. Hope that helps, idiot.
shareThank you for trying to be helpful, but I know what "phobia" means. I can even use it in a sentence: I have a phobia about replying to IMDB message board posts that resort to childish name calling because nothing good will ever come of it.
Did you know that "homo" also means "homo sapiens" and "same" but strangely, "homophobic" does not mean a fear of homo sapiens, or a fear of the same, and it also doesn't only mean a fear of homosexuals. It can also mean an aversion to or discrimination against homosexuals. So any lame cliched joke that relies on the demeaning stereotype of homosexuals as lisping flamboyant pink-wearing effeminates can absolutely be called homophobic.
Hope that helps, idiot.
It WAS unnecessary since it served absolutely no point in the film whatsoever. Homophobic? I think you need to get your liberal eyes checked. If the characters than attacked him in some way, yes. Instead, they just ignore his flamboyant overtures. Hardly homophobic in any way, shape, or form. When the entire world learns that people don't care whose hole you stick things in and all they are annoyed with is the fake, put-on overly-dramatic flamboyant subculture of homosexuality (which is what is lampooned in this film), people will learn what an idiotic word "homophobic" is (the appropriate word for most people would be homomisia, but that doesn't sound "scary" enough for the agenda-pushers).
shareWhat a coincidence that you bring this up. The number one item on the agenda I received at last night's Liberal indoctrination meeting was to promote tolerance and understanding for all people, including homosexuals, all races, all religions, and women. I realize these are concepts that scare the reactionary agenda-pushers into peeing their pants, but they'll have to get used to them after the Obama-Terrorists and FemiNazis take over.
Other items on the agenda:
2: Take away all your guns.
3: Force everbody to eat only broccoli. Meat and pizza will be banned.
4: Make everybody play soccer instead of football.
5: Outlaw laughing at jokes that rely on outdated stereotypes of race, religion, sex, age, or sexual preference. Instead, force everyone to watch contemporary shows such as Modern Family and Blackish to laugh at smart and funny jokes about sexual preference and race.
6: Force everybody to speak Spanish, welcome all illegal immigrants with open arms, and give them your jobs.
7: ...I couldn't understand anything else on the agenda because it was all written in Spanish.
Yeah, Moocher's married but he's still eating at Dave's house. I guess that was why they called him Moocher. It was kinda sad--parents moved elsewhere to find more work and Moocher got married at such a young age--he had no job and his wife was a cashier, hardly had enough cash in their pockets to pay for the marriage license. I wonder how it turned out?
