Best Joke in the Movie


Really good belly laugh. Forte's delivery was so perfectly deadpan.

Tom Snyder: Mr. Kenney, it's a fine line between being clever and offensive, isn't it?
Doug: Look, if I could just say something in defense of National Lampoon for one moment...
Tom Snyder: Please.
Doug: We come from a tradition of truth-tellers. A long time ago, there was someone else society found offensive. They thought that what he did was radical - dangerous. They persecuted him... and eventually killed him. Of course, I'm referring to Dracula.

I always thought the Lampoon's absurdist jokes were much funnier and inspired than the ones that were obviously intended to be offensive.
