Melio's antics


Ok, so I whipped out the VHS and showed this movie to my girlfriend for the first time. She loved it, epecially Melio. Now I havn't watched it in years, but seeing it now I realized how freakin funny Melio is. She commented on how she's never seen a character be such an ass. And thinking of it, neither have I!

So, the question here is... Does anyone know of a character who's as funny as Melio? A character with humor in that same vein. The way he torments Harold is just so funny! I mean come on, Melio just gives the cops his phone number! How great is that??

reply

well, that would be me *the gf part, not Melio* and i was thinking of Sands, the character that Johnny Deep plays on Once upon a time in Mexico... he is kinda mean weird but still not yet comparable to Melio..

fine, I replied.

I'll be your devil if you'll admit you're mine

reply

Cherry Point! Chair E Point... LOL, yeah Melio was ruling!

reply

"NO, HAROLD, THERE AREN'T ANY COOKIES LEFT!"

What about the ball?

reply

"Hey Harold, can I have the van after your dad kills you?" LOL.

And check out the scene where either Candy or Sunshine (I forget), gives the blue team their shirts. Watch Melio lol.

reply

"Don't forget, you have to pay again, honeybun!"

reply

"You shouldn't go all night without eating, Harold. Takes away all of your energy." Hoo hoo hahahaha, woooooooooo!"

reply

Melio's laugh, I just love it. I love when he laughs at Harold's screw ups. He and Barf at the Johnny's Fat Boy Burgers, LMAO, and when Harold pushes the guys with the brochures out of the way, hahaha.

Lucille: "The other teams are way ahead of us."
Melio, Whistling, "whoo whooohoo whoo woo WHOOOO wa-whoo woo wooo."
Lucille: "We're never gonna win!"
Melio: "whoo whoo-hoo woooo-oo WOOO."

He's a wise ass just like my husband!

reply

Melio: Sweet Dreams.

*Pats Harolds stomach and the cookies under his clothes.*

Those are all good, but my two favorites are:

1. When Melio sees how angry Harold is at Barf playing "Heart & Soul," he smiles evilly and then starts playing the other part of the duet.

2. When Harold looks for the Oreos, sees the bag is gone and looks at Melio, who is chewing. Melio smiles, with cookies all over his teeth and actually offers Harold his own cookies!

When I watch the movie, I have to play these two scenes a few times before proceedings!

Haha no one answered your question, they just quoted lines from Melio. The only example I can think of is Rick Ducommun in The 'burbs, the way he treats Tom Hanks' character is pretty funny. But it's not exactly like Melio, I can't think of anything really similar to that.

Felipe Gomez of Three's Company comes to mind, he was always plotting against Jack, trying to get the Chef job. Another possibility is Muttley (who interestingly enough was based on a character that my cousin played in a movie once) who always laughed at Dick Dastardly's expense.

I absolutely loved this movie, particularly the characters Melio and Harold. I never understood why Andy Tennant or Stephen Furst never continued on as actors (although Andy Tennant has become an accomplished Director).

I'm sure I'm not the only gal who thinks this, but 'Melio' is dead-hot cute, especially his goofy grin. He also coincidentally is a dead-ringer [looks included] for a guy I had a way seriously crush on back in HS.

In my opinion he practically stole the blue team scenes.

Watcha doin, Harold? (grin)

reply

Security Guard after Harold is in custody: We're gonna have to call your father!

Melio: Oh officer, his number is 937-1347.
