Quite Possibly the Greatest Comedic-al Scene of All-Time

posted 15 years ago by BuzzKardzrool

I just can't get past the lack of popularity of a film that has what is perhaps the funniest scene in the history of film. The film is mediocre and completely unrealistic, but Colin Hanks delivers in the scene I'm talking about. Fans of the film must all know what I'm talking about by nail. Colin runs into the house looking for his acceptance letter, and finally picks it up. He opens the letter and looks a pond it with the most sincere facial expression that I don't think his father could ever come close to pulling off. He breaths heavily, he breaths heavily, then... wait for it... wait for it... "I didn't get in!" The suspense and relief is so comedically appealing I often fall over with laughter. It's a real shame they have to ruin the next few seconds with a toilet humor joke about Jack Black being kick"butt", but what a job Colin Hanks did. I bet Tom looks at his two Oscar's and feels completely unworthy every time he sees his son in that scene. I'm not saying Colin deserved an Oscar, because the film was too filthy and immature for that, but boy did he knock that scene out of the park. I'm not even a fan of the film, I'm sure those of you "Orange County" lovers know this scene like the back of your hand. Am I right or am I right?

Give me one reason I shouldn't report you for violent suggestions? In addition, as much as I enjoy the meat of pigs, I think it's cruel to enjoy one squeal. I also don't take kindly to people comparing me to disgusting animals (which I eat twice a day as well) while also threatening me metaphorically. Give me one reason I shouldn't report you for violent threats. Gee, you really have a knack for getting violent with me.

I was merely trying to share a classic cinematic moment with my good respectable friends at IMDB and you just have to ruin it. You can't let other people enjoy each other's company, not even on the internet. Get your own thread creep.

Prepare to be flagged you imbecile. I wonder what you're like in real life... probably a little pervert if you're a child, or an old-has been if you're any older than 21. I bet you're user name was your job until you got fired, jacob-stamper, whatever that means.

I still can't get past that "a pond" term you use lol. That about discredits the whole entire post. Sorry, I'll stop being an instigator.

Wow, you guys are really a lot better than me at life. I wish I was as intellectual as you guys. Isn't it ironic minut0182 that you were the only one to point out my "a pond" phrase. Starting to see a trend here? You and IVHANK should start a hate group.

Well Jake looks like you're wrong buddy. Read that post and weep. I'm not saying I'm a genius because that guy agrees with me, but I can't be the dumbest poster you have seen in seven years. I mean there had to be a lot of dumbos back when IMDB got started before they got used to it. And you still have yet to provide proof for your argument. Just keep torturing pigs while I eat them. Some people are plain stupid (and plain cruel if I might add).

I never said Colin was a better actor than his father. I merely said he performed a better comedic-al scene than any actor I've ever seen has. It was just a flash of greatness, not claiming he has finally made the family proud after years of Tommy bringing them down. Forrest Gump is one of my favorite performances ever, but it's just this one scene that I am saying Tommy couldn't have pulled off as perfectly.

Even if it's from a film. I won't be able to stop thinking about how you glorify torture while I eat my scrapple tomorrow. Thanks for ruining my breakfast.

I told ya Buzz. I don't hate you, and I don't even feel sorry for you. In fact, I'd pry drink beer with ya at a bar. But that simply just isn't the right terminology to use either way you look at it. But to each his own lol.

Buzz, you were hinting that I hate you...and I'm sorry to burst your bubble, but I don't. That's what I was getting at. I hardly found that to be off-topic from your "argument".

And while we're on the subject of not having a proper counter-argument, where are your proofs on our other thread, HUH? :)

Well I pick up all the pieces and make an island...might even make a little sand

[–] BuzzKardzrool 15 years ago

So, how do you feel about me if you don't hate me? I doubt there can be any logic to that answer.

I believe that all of my posts were in context with the posts I was responding to. Just because you didn't agree with me, doesn't mean I didn't say something worth agreeing. It's pretty obvious when people have frequently agreed with my opinions.

<@:0)

[–] TheDrunkenPoet 15 years ago

Once again Buzz, you make little to no sense.

And for the record, I do hate you...Actually, hate is kind of mean, just strongly dislike.

[–] BuzzKardzrool 15 years ago

Hey, why don't you just go all in and hate me. That way we can destroy and rebuild. Not that you're probably rebuildable at this point. I think minut0182 is a good guy, he's just unaware of certain things. You on the other hand just like to cause havoc. You probably look for things which you know are wrong and choose them as your position in order to spread stupidity. You're jealous of those who appear to be more intelligent, so you try to get people to join you're team. You might fool some, but I understand.

<@:0)

[–] mintut0182 15 years ago

"So, how do you feel about me if you don't hate me? I doubt there can be any logic to that answer."

Well, I think I can answer that with as much logic as I can possibly add to it.

I think that while you mean well at the start of these threads, you try picking fights and arguments with everyone that disagrees with you using illogical reasoning, such as you did in your last post above this ^^ (and as demonstrated in every single one of your threads since you've become a member)...and that you are bullheaded enough to not be able to admit when you truly ARE wrong.

Everyone is wrong at times man. When I'm wrong, I promise you, I'll admit it myself, and I have many times in the past. Am I calling you stupid? No. But there are certainly some people that sound much dumber than they actually are when they try arguing, and I guess, in a nutshell, that's my take on you. My opinion and first impression only. If you and I got into an argument about politics, I'm sure you would agree the same for me, as I know little to nothing about them (or don't care to know).

I only hate people I know in person, and to be honest, at my age, there's not a single person I can name that I do hate. I've learned not to hate people over time, it's just bad for everyone, including yourself. Now, maybe you hate me, and personally, I could care less...it's just not worth it for me over silly forum posts.

[–] BuzzKardzrool 15 years ago

I am not picking fights. I am merely responding to the parade of insults which I am greeted with every time I post. I would admit when I am wrong, but I am not going to bow down to these imbeciles whom attack me unmercifully without my instigation. It's pitiful and disgusting.

Well I can't think of any examples of you admitting you were wrong about. So you're saying everything you've said on here is right? That's impossible. You must really think highly of yourself. That is the most insulting of intelligence statement I've ever heard. That's an indirect low blow and it's not called for. If we got into an argument about politics it would be the same as the arguments we have on here.

I don't hate people either in a certain sense of the word. But I will work my hardest to accomplish my goals in life. In this case, my goal is to discuss films peicefully and intelligently. It appears I won't be able to do so but I won't go down easily.

I won't even respond to 'jacobstamper_545'. Call me arrogant but I consider myself above that low-life.

Thanks Jake. You never fail to embarrass yourself and prove me right. That is low. Really low. You're an IMDBully and you thrive on the misery of those you feel superior to. I'm in utter shock. It's people like you whom break down society. If one of my children were mentally handicapped and I met you face to face, I'd knock you out. That's disgusting what you just did. Even my most stubborn opponents will be disgraced at this insult to Tyra Banks, the mentally challenged community, and myself. You really need to see a doctor. You're beyond troubled.

Jacob why cant you just leave well enough alone and stop allowing your lackey minute### to back you up. I mean this guy has a clown face as his signature.

[–] BuzzKardzrool 15 years ago

Don't insult minut0182's intelligence by grouping him with jacob. Jacob is worthless scum. I thought TheDrunkenPoet had enough sense to not associate with him, but I guess I was wrong. Jacob is a spreader of hate and someone who has serious psychological harms. I guess they're both in that group at this point. And yea, I do read my thesaurus often.

You take low blows without a hint of sensitivity for others. You insult others through your insults to me. The only thing you don't get is that you're basically insulting yourself. Good job piggy, I hope you're ears are gonna be okay when I cook my pork chops for my family tonight. Yea, Ry did a phenomenal job in that film, he deserves much more recognition. Colin Hanks IS NOT a better actor than Tommy. He performed spectacularly in one scene and I'm not sure if daddy Hank could've pulled it off. Of course no actors SHOULD use drugs. No one SHOULD use drugs, but I understand that some people always have the urge to lose themselves in these substances. Juvenile? Posting insults to mentally handicapped? That's juvenile. Glorifying the torturing animals which you have no greater integrity than? That's juvenile. Disrespecting individuals such as Tyra Banks? That's juvenile. IMDBullying me like a stalker on IMDB? That's juvenile.

[–] BuzzKardzrool 15 years ago

Why can't I call him Tommy? You really pick at everything. I feel bad for your family. Tyra Banks and mentally retarded peoples don't need your implied cross-slander. Grow up. The signature still advertises the torture of an animal I'm about to feed my wife and children in a few hours, that's disgusting. Please, the insults don't hurt. Get back to me when you have something respectable to say. I'm disappointed to know that some company employs a burden of society such as yourself. Well, from your other sentences, it seems like your employees 'agree' with you, or maybe they just don't want you to torture them. Your AIDS threat and low blow to my religion is lower than I'd even expect from you.

<@:0)

[–] TheDrunkenPoet 15 years ago

I just want to further add that it's pretty stupid that you keep referring to actors like Tom Hanks and Jack Nicholson as Tommy and Jackie...Stop acting like you have some kind of personal relationship with them, if those two ever met you they would be scared to hell and you would have a restraining order on your hands.

I can call them whatever I want. You have no place to tell me I can't call a celebrity a nick name. Why not? It's a little name. Calm down people. I think if one of your minions like jacobstamper did the same, you would never think to mention it, but when I do it, it's outrage. Just shows the hypocrisy which follows me around because of my honesty.

[–] TheDrunkenPoet 15 years ago

Hey Buzz, so is "...by nail" another one of your highly original phrases of unknown origin, or is it an honest to god mistake? Because it looks like it should say "...by now."

Thanks for that one, iluiucci89.

[–] BuzzKardzrool 15 years ago

I shouldn't even have to address this. It's kind of irrelevant to bring up something I said such a long time ago. Yes, this was a spelling error. I do have some stories about why I might have made that ERROR. I spent a lot of time in the deep South where the word 'now' is often pronounced similar to 'nayl'. It's often common to talk like this in some areas of Philadelphia which I am also familiar with as well as many communities in the West Virginia/Maryland areas.

Karen, this is very ignorant of you as we haven't got the chance to discuss anything. I find it very judgmental to make these assumptions about me. I've actually yet to flag anyone. I don't even know how to use the darn tool. I really should flag a select few that talk about my family. It's disturbing, punishable, and immature.

I wouldn't like to be but these people just don't stop. I can't allow people to think I've gotten embarrassed. No matter what, when I leave, people will have the impression that I accepted that I was wrong about everything, which I have not.

This thread is funnier then movie 10x at least. Im not sorry I downloaded this movie now. I thought it was complete waste of time, but seeing this guy Buzz post sh*t, really made my day !

I mean,besides your posts,... if that scene for you is 'Quite Possibly the Greatest Comedic-al Scene of All-Time' you dude either didn't watch enough movies, or you'r limited consciousness (probably because you'r 9 - at least that how your posts look) doesn't allow you to comprehend higher aspects and qualitys of humour, so that scene is the best you can understand.

Anyway... be sure to write some more, I desperately need some more laughs.

and what the hell is the whole signature bashing about? for one none of it made any sense, it was jibberish, and even when he explained where the sig is from, you still bash it with jibberish. it was almost as painful to read as sitting on your nuts.

Sorry that original poster had to go through this abuse. I agree that the scene is funny.

[–] MudgeMalog 8 years ago

A) You're wrong! The scene you mentioned isn't funny at all. He reads a letter and has a funny look on his face, so what? Maybe it's well acted, but if you're looking for good acting in 'Orange County' you're doing something wrong. Normally, I wouldn't troll like this but when you title your post "Quite Possibly the Greatest Comedic-al Scene of All-Time" you're asking for it.

B) The funniest scene in this movie is Jack Black doing a cartwheel in his bedroom. Totally unexpected out of character, I laugh every time.

[–] spencerprattsactingcoach 8 years ago

How as that funny exactly? I really don't get it. If anything, the humor was supposed to be subtle.

The greatest comedic scene in this movie was when Harold Ramis' character was conveying broad range of emotions while on Ecstacy. Not too many actors know how to do that without ever taking the drug.
