What was your favorite scene?


SO many funny parts to this movie, it's hard to pick just one. But I think probably the best for me was the part where Dana Carvey's character got the entire boardroom to gather in the men's room, and then he tells them to take positions in the stalls ("Double up if you have to!"). It was such an unexpected thing, and just so funny how willing everybody was to follow along with this nutty idea - that was actually pure genius. lol

Also funny how the graffiti on the door in Milt's stall said he was full of hot air (and his company makes hand blowers for bathrooms, lol).

All in all a great comedy movie. Loved it.

Every time Dana Carvey dances, I pop a hemorrhoid - watching Fiddler on the Roof, at the Bar Mitzvah and in the bar. Classic.

The blowing up of the IRS building and the President in the bathroom stall most definitely top the list.
And yeah, getting the boardroom into the men's room also comes close at third.

I like the restaurant scenes, if not for just watching the reactions in the bathroom, and then the whole wine exchange at the table.

When he did accents like the "I am leper" chinese accent scene> The laughs were too much, I loved this film!

Yes I also loved it when he did the accents as well. Especially when he is talking to the mob boss when he calls the car phone. LOL

Yes the bar scene is hysterical all right! Including the dancing at the Bar Mitzvah when he starts to mimic the other guests there on the dance floor. LOL

Yes that was a great scene in the movie all right. Another one that I liked is when they decided to steal the car outside of the bar that they were thrown out of and Dana Carvey's character mentions to Sal, "Hey why don't we make this into a convertable?" Sal agrees about this and I was cracking up. When I watched this a couple of nights ago it had been years since I had seen it and I thought what they were going to do was completely cut the hood off of the car along with the front windshield and rear windshield as well. Instead they just cut the top off leaving the windshields on the car. LOL I love it also when the gangster calls them up on the car phone and Dana Carveys character goes into the Indian accent when answering the phone. LOL

"Malkin Blowers are number oneeeeeeeeeeee!"

When all the board people were in the bathroom. And when Dana's character pretended to be Bush sr. So the other people would go in on the deal.

The Japanese guy asks where is the bathroom. Dana does fake Japanese accent. Japanese guy walks away giving Dana the finger. Dana says "He said your company is #1". Robert Loggia says "This is America, someone should tell him what that means in America". Not the exact lines but, you know which scene I am referring to.
