Name your favorite and least favorite joke/song


Best joke - Ugly O'Brian (obvious, but still didn't see it coming).
Best song - The first song (title pirate song).
Worst joke - the talking finger got OLD FAST.
Worst song - Kermit and Piggy HATED their love song, it grinded the movie to a halt.

My favorite joke was when we see the Swedish Chef making a dinner wearing a pig snout and singing and then the tomato (I think) looks at us and says, "Well, how else did you think we were going to get him into this movie?"

I didn't care for Rizzo's joke about the Rat tours. His screaming "Next!" got on my nerves.

I loved Sailing for Adventure best. Cabin Fever was just filler. By the way, the song that Kermit and Miss Piggy sing sounds better over the end credits.

I can't remember my favourite joke, I watched it just last night and I think there were a couple of instances of witty repartee between characters that had me rolling around.

But for the songs, 'Cabin Fever' grinds on me every time, completely out of place and undermined the literary side of the adventure (I love the Muppets and Treasure Island together and separately).

Favourite Song though is 'When You're a Professional Pirate', last night I kept imagining the Curse of the Black Pearl when Elizabeth Swann escapes Barbossa's cabin and finds the cursed crew working and singing, if only it had been this song!

Best joke: probably when Clueless Morgan mention "cabin fever" after the song it's over in his cell

Worst joke: The one on the end credits that something tells to Long John

Best Song: Love Led Us Here (no explanation needed, it's just great)

Worst song: The first one (the pirates one)

BEST JOKE Once the pirates are ashore, We set sail and return in a year or so, by then
all the fight should be out of' em/close second is...Clueless Bill, give it to
him, buts its not his birthday...lol

WORST JOKE That's the raging volcano? He's a Frog. Maybe he gets hopping mad

BEST SONG: Sentimental reasons it's Something Better, but Professional Pirate is the best

WORST SONG: Although I don't think any of the songs are bad, but if i had to pick one i guess it would be Cabin Fever as my least favorite.
