I just saw this movie for the first time, I was jonesing for some classic Leary after getting addicted to Rescue Me over the past several months. What do you think is the funniest scene? For me, it has to be when everyone is sitting around the dinner table with the wreaths and lit candles on their heads, and then later when Caroline is sloshed and her wreath is crooked and some of the candles are out.
"Ahoy there! Ahoy there! Ahoy, cock-a-doodley there!"
There are so many it's hard to name them all without going through the entire dialog. This movie is hilarious.
share"I know loan sharks that are more forgivin' than you. Your husband ain't dead lady, he's hidin'."
I love that quote, that lady is psychotic!
I like the part where Kevin Spacey begins to beat up the Christmas tree and says :
Lloyd: Excuse me! Excuse me! EXCUSE ME! EXCUSE ME!
[stunned silence by all]
Lloyd: If you don't mind, the "corpse" *STILL* has the floor!
A. Pretty much all of Christine Baranski's lines. When she goes off on that rant about how the spirit of Christmas is if you commit a crime you go to jail forever, plus telling off her mother in law - "Slipper socks. Medium!" - plus her line "Well, I think this is SICK!" Plus how she keeps hitting those kids. Oh man. She's definitely one of the most underrated comediennes ever.
B. Your name is Wong?
My mother was Irish.
And your father?
Wasn't.
C. "Mother, if you could just shut the *beep* up for ten seconds"
D. Kevin Spacey's rant about the 19-year-old billionaire rockstar with the 24-hour erection was priceless.
E. The fact that the kids keep crackign up when the adults are telling each other to *beep* off, etc.
F. "Lloyd, why don't you eat me?"
G. ALso, the scenes with B.D. Wong as the therapist are funny if you've seen him on Law & Order: SVU - because he's basically playing more comedically irritable version of the same character.
YOu know what mother? You know what im getting you for next christmas? A nice wooden cross. So the next time you are feeling unappreciated you can just crawl up there and nail yourself to it.
shareLloyd: How bout this, Mother? Next Christmas I'm gonna get you a big wooden cross ! And the next time you feel unappreciated for your sacrifices, you can climb up on it and nail yourself to it!
*beep* PRICELESS! OMG!
Aw mom! the cable's out! NOW what are we gonna do?! CELEBRATE THE BIRTH OF CHRIST! HAHAHAHHA
This movie is the greatest.
Gus: From now on, the only person who gets to yell is me. Why? Because I have a gun. People with guns get to do whatever they want. Married people without guns - for instance - you - DO NOT get to yell. Why? NO GUNS! No guns, no yelling. See? Simple little equation.
Gus: (From back seat of SUV) I don't believe this, I Hijacked my *bleep*ing parents.
lmao best part was when they were at the dinner table the mom yells
what the *beep* am i eating?
Trusting another soul with my fate,showed me how easily love could turn to pure hate.
When Lloyd finally gets his senses together:
"Mother. Is is poosible for you to just shut the *beep* up for 3 seconds?"
well,something like that.
There are many funny scenes in this movie, but this is the one that gets me :
After an endless barrage of visitors (police/family) have entered the Chasseur home over the course of the evening, Dean Siskel from Jesse's Military school rings the doorbell wearing his full military garb.
Gus takes a peak at the visitor through the window.
Gus : "The army, what the *beep* What am I Oswald here?"
LMAO FUNNY!
Having been a closet smoker for years, I thoroughly enjoyed when Gus wanted a cigarette and asked Lloyd and Caroline if they smoked and Lloyd says, "I don't smoke. Caroline quit." and then you see the look on Judy Davis's face...and know that she didn't friggin' quit.
Lloyd's brother was pretty funny, too, when Kevin Spacey says "We're getting a divorce." And Gary says, "Oh, WHYYYYYYY?" What a goof-ball!
When they are all in the bedroom and Kevin Spacey tells Denis Leary to be careful with the doll he's holding and Denis Leary rips the doll's head off and chucks it against the wall.
Gus, Lloyd and Caroline are still in the dining room or kitchen and you can hear Mother Rose call out, "Why isn't my portrait hanging over the fireplace??"
Lloyd gives his mother an envelope with a loan payment and she says, "Of course we'll have to see what happens to interest rates in the new year." and Caroline says, "C*#ksucker."
"Bob. I nailed your wife, Bob. Three times, Bob. She said you never went three times, Bob."
More than Spacey, more than Leary, the guy who played the sheriff makes the movie for me. Especially that little smirk he has as he's saying this to the a$$hole who just got him fired. Heehee, revenge!

I saw that movie on TV yesterday and loved it, really funny.
SPACEY: "You want to have sex with him!"
and then he imitates her with a hilarious little voice "we have bungee cords" lol.
"There was no stop sign!"

How do I know this is Gus?
How do you know, Murry, when I see you, I'm going to pull all the hair off your balls, one by one, you *beep* mule you.
I just beat up Santa Clause, I'm goin' to hell.
Take you with me, what am I the circus?
Kevin Spaceys' line with the cross is one of my favorites to, and when he's telling his side of the story about New York.
this is a very funny movie.
i like this dialog:
Caroline: ~ "we'll just get a divorce, you can say I cheated on you"
Lloyd: "you did cheat on me"
Carloine: "i know, that is why i said that"
Lloyd: "nooooo, you said it like I could use that as an excuse but that it really wasn't true...."
and she did say it like she was making it up.
of course there is the line - don't eat the penis, it's just a garnish... i wish she would stop telling that at dinner parties
One of the funniest films ever, and does it without Farrelly-style bodily fluids or farts - just razor sharp wit. Enlessly quotable.
D.LEARY: Sit Down.
C.BARANSKI: Excuse me, I'm not one of your patients!
D.LEARY: You're gonna be somebody's patient if you don't get your ass back down in that chair! ( She sits down.)
When Leary tracks down his partner who ran off, by phone at the grungy bar; talks all friendly then describes how many bleeping miles he had to run because no car was waiting for him, then raps the phone repeatedly on the counter to put a painful noise through the line! Hahahaha...
D.LEARY: Bleep you Lloyd, I work for a living, I'm in the game. What do you do, other than take up bleepin' space?
Hahaha, virtually every scene...
