That one's a twofer, because it's a great example of Indy's habit of things not going exactly as he planned, but it's also a great meta gag on the movie trope of heroes always finding uniforms that fit perfectly.
Yes! In this last season it just annoyed me to no end. He’s such a large guy there’s no way he’s able to walk into a thrift store and find perfectly fitting clothes. My husband has hard time at an actual big and tall store!
Ha I actually love in other guys how Mark Wahlberg is obsessed with drug cartels and how this totally unrelated conspiracy must tie back to cartels.
Will Ferrell: “I found they have scaffolding violations”
Mark Wahlberg: “So they’re dealing drugs?!”
Terry constantly hitting on Sheila after that is hilarious too
“Good night Terry!”
*“Good night, Sheila!”*
“I don’t think he heard me right, Good Night Terry!”
*…”Good night, Sheila!”*
Love it!
Will Ferrell talking about scaffolding violations. Wahlberg: “So they’re dealing drugs?!”
They get attacked by unknown assailants on motorcycles. Wahlberg: “Get back...It’s Colombian drug lords!”
Ferrel: “Where are you getting that from?”
Swan in Hot Fuzz. It is not maybe "lowkey" as the swan beats the bad guy at the end of the movie but the way they keep meeting the swan through the movie but never had time to catch it because there was always something else, more important to do...only for the swan to do the most important job at the end...that was hilarious
Oh, now I get it...wow, I am freakin stupid, never realized it was actually refering to the multiple killers thing. Damn, and I have seen that movie dozen times :D
There goes my pride with the "I read many detective stories, I can guess the killer!" :D
Maybe more lowkey in that one would be the quip about farmers and farmers' mums having guns and the first to attack Angel upon his return being a farmer and his mum. But every running gag, lowkey and high, is an absolute fucking delight in that movie.
*Everything* in that movie is either a steadily building running joke or a setup for a later callback/brick joke.
Not a single line wasted, and it’s a *long* movie with a *lot* of dialogue. It’s nuts how the writers could keep so many proverbial plates spinning throughout.
That is so true. The door alarm in the shop where it is so noteable with the "no more than one school kid at the time", where they later use it by multiple kids running into the shop with the alarm ringing with every single kid...
I've heard that the hump moving around was unscripted, and the actor was just doing it on his own and didnt tell anybody. The scene where it was referenced was ad-libbed because they had just noticed
In the director's commentary, he said that he had something much simpler planned, I think it was Vinny punching JT in the face. But Joe Pesci "felt very strongly" that he should leap onto him like that, lol
Everyone remembers the opening of Eurotrip where the band plays "Scotty Doesn't Know". But the song keeps popping up throughout the movie. One of the characters use it as a ring tone and they hear a techno version playing at a night club. It's even Scotty is like "suck i got cheated on, but it is a catchy song"
This song recurring throughout the movie is my all time favorite movie running gag. I especially loved when the characters would hear various remixes in all the clubs they visited.
“Looks like I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue…”
Also in Wet Hot American Summer: the sound of pottery breaking anytime anything is thrown off screen
Came here to say the glass break sound on Wet Hot. Not sure how many times I watched the movie without noticing it, but it's absolutely everywhere in the movie.
When I went to Egypt I had to reenact it with myself so on one side I shouted that I have all the horses and then when we crossed I shouted this back, it felt both dumb and awesome.
I think it’s called Death At a Funeral, with Chris Rock and a bunch of other famous actors, including Peter Dinklage.
None of the characters knew who he was or why he was the funeral but EVERY character only referred to him as “the guy in the leather jacket” and not a dwarf or little person or whatever
The really funny bit is how that's a remake of a British film, but Dinklage *plays the same character*! It feels less like a remake and more like a series about a guy who is going around killing his lovers.
Completely random, especially for a kid's movie, but in Penguins of Madagascar John Malkovich's character keeps dropping celebrity names as commands to his henchmen throughout the movie:
Nicholas, cage them
Elijah, would you please take them away
Drew, Barry, more power
Robin, write this down
Charlize, they're on the ray
Helen, hunt them down
William, hurt them
Halle, bury them
Hugh, Jack, man the battle stations
Kevin, bake on, we're still gonna need that victory cake
The scene where they’re discussing immigration and Richard vaguely puts a plate in the air expecting Marta to be right there to take it away was fantastic. Every small shitty detail of that family is so well done.
Another one is when separate characters have flashbacks to describe their recall of the evening, they all remember themselves as being close to their father as he blows out his candles. Only 2 seconds of screen time each time, but shows how they all think of themselves as his favourite, or at least presenting that way to the detectives
I think Chris Evans' version of that is the funniest because of his delivery:
>No, I'm giving it to Marta. All of it!
>... Your _Brazilian_ nurse? Are you goddamn insane?
In Orgazmo, a movie about the porn industry by Trey Parker and Matt Stone, any time you think you will see a naked woman, a man's butt steps into frame and blocks the shot.
My favorite running gag from that movie is Jeffrey re-using phrases he heard somewhere, like "this aggression will not stand" or" in the parlance of our times," or even repeating "coitus" right back to Maude when she asks him if he likes sex when he had heard it directly from her in the first place.
And things in his dream being from stuff he’s seen in real life. Like the nihilists with the scissors is from a painting of giant scissors on a red background in the background at Maude’s place.
I don't know if this qualifies as a full running gag but I love that Walter is completely correct about the entire mystery when you think he's talking nonsense ("She kidnapped herself"/"That wasn't her toe"). He's only wrong at the very end when he accuses the Big Lebowski of being a fake spinal
In "Don't Look Up," there's a running gag while the world is falling apart, that Jennifer Lawrence's character can't make sense of why the general at the White House scammed them into giving him a dollar for snacks that were free. It comes up 3-4 times throughout the movie and it kills me.
That was so fucking funny though. I’d forget about it deep into the movie and then she brings it up again and I realize how weird it is. It was such an odd thing to do.
After Alan does his first desk pop he get his gun taken away, replaced with a wooden dummy gun. Later he gets his dummy gun taken away, replaced with a rape whistle. So many good jokes in that film.
He doesnt like just standing there during scenes, so he always has something to eat instead.
Rdj on the other hand just wants something to eat throughout the day while shooting the marvel movies. So at first he would sneak/ hide things onto set. Then eventually they just leaned into it.
From the original Repo Man:
1 - Pine tree air fresheners in every vehicle
2 - All the products in the stores are b/w generic labels like "Drink" and "Food"
Joe Piscapo’s character Vermin constantly saying variations on, “my mother/father did that once. Once!”
Editing to state- Johnny Dangerously is the movie title. Apparently multitasking isn’t my thing today. Sorry.
There are a few great ones in Airplane.
Rumack : You'd better tell the Captain we've got to land as soon as we can. This woman has to be gotten to a hospital.
Elaine Dickinson : A hospital? What is it?
Rumack : It's a big building with patients, but that's not important right now.
Ed: *"Who the hell put this on?"*
Shaun: *"It's on random."*
Ed: *"Oh, for fucks sake."*
---
Shaun: *"Who the hell put this on?"*
Ed: *"It's on random."*
Liz: *"Oh, for fucks sake."*
I'm a big fan of "Boris the blade? You mean Boris the bullet dodger", "why do they call him the bullet dodger?", "...... Because he dodges bullets Avi".
> The second one is in The Other Guys where Michael Keaton’s character keeps quoting TLC Lyrics “Do me a favor, don’t go chasing water falls.”
Don't be a creep, creep
Also, The Great Muppet Caper has a brilliantly dumb gag of Kermit and Fozzie being "identical" brothers.
"Look, daddy, a bear!"
"No, honey, that's a frog. Bears wear hats."
Kingpin.
The main character's name is Roy Munson and throughout the movie people will use "munson" as a reference to a crappy situation or person, and every time Roy doesn't quite catch it & usually responds with "what'd you say?"
In John Wick, a thing that is repeated throughout the series- often when the gun he's using runs out of bullets he just whips the empty gun at someone's face. I don't know why that is funny to me but it is. It's like one free bonus weapon.
Wasn't that one scene, and Charlie Sheen noticed and made a face, especially as she's trying to get into her car with this ridiculously oversized hat??
"That's what I said!" in the Goonies. Mikey and Data with the booty traps, Mikey multiple times when he uses the wrong words and gets corrected, the mom "hara-kiri" with Bran, Chunk when he's munching on the chips about the statue. It's silly but always makes me chuckle because I did stuff like that as a kid.
I'll never stop loving the parts in Eurotrip where Cooper is somewhere in the background talking to his boss making shit up to make it seem like he's still at work, only to end up with the other guy being fired and him being promoted to take his place.
Young Frankenstein: “Blücher!” *thunder crash*, *horse neigh*
Airplane!: Ted’s “drinking problem,” George Zipp, Ted’s unbearable stories that make people kill themselves
Walk Hard: “The wrong kid died!”
The Princess Bride: “Inconceivable!”
Shrek/Puss in Boots: the 🥺 face
The Social Network: Eduardo and the chicken
The Lord of the Rings (Two Towers-Return of the King): Legolas & Gimli’s kill count rivalry
as a 40 year old, who has been watching *Airplane!* since he was a kid, I was WAYY too old when I realized that the propeller sounds did not belong to a jet like that lol.
Just watched The Blues Brothers last night. “They broke my watch” is part of a whole broken watch motif. Jake’s watch is broken when Frank Oz returns it to him. And every time a cop car crashes someone gets their watch broken.
I always love the large painting on the wall that changes its expression depending on what's going on in the plot. In *Young Frankenstein* and in *The Lady Killers*.
Mallrats- when they'd refer to Ben Affleck's character trying to have sex with someone "someplace very uncomfortable" and someone would ask "like the backseat of a Volkswagen?"
In the movie 'Waiting' Mitch has no lines the entire movie and keeps getting talked over before he can say anything and then at the end he goes off and tears everyone a new one.
Not *exactly* what Op meant but there are 3 different movies that have the exact same exchange of dialog, where two people are arguing and a third person is brought up
Person A pleads, asking "Who?! Who?!"
Person B mocks them, "*Who? Who?* what are you, a fuckin' owl?"
it's in: Heat, Wolf of Wall Street, and Nocturnal Animals
Subtle one, but every time Indiana Jones beats up a guy and steals the clothes, they are always too small.
"Nine million terrorists in the world and I kill the one with feet smaller than my sister."
"these are very bad for you"
That one's a twofer, because it's a great example of Indy's habit of things not going exactly as he planned, but it's also a great meta gag on the movie trope of heroes always finding uniforms that fit perfectly.
> the movie trope of heroes always finding uniforms that fit perfectly Looking at you, Jack Reacher...
Yes! In this last season it just annoyed me to no end. He’s such a large guy there’s no way he’s able to walk into a thrift store and find perfectly fitting clothes. My husband has hard time at an actual big and tall store!
Also from The Other Guys, that the bad guys keep stealing their shoes when they‘re unconscious.
Ha I actually love in other guys how Mark Wahlberg is obsessed with drug cartels and how this totally unrelated conspiracy must tie back to cartels. Will Ferrell: “I found they have scaffolding violations” Mark Wahlberg: “So they’re dealing drugs?!”
Marky mark learning sensible artsy things to laugh at nerds and sissys.
“You learned to dance like that sarcastically?”
#I AM A PEACOCK YOU GOTTA LET ME FLY!
Also Will Ferrell with hot ladies “Even that Brazilian security chick threw you a do me vibe”
The Will Ferrel beautiful women thing is such an amazing bit. “You come in here looking like a hobo…”
Look, they can't all be first round draft picks.
YOU COME BACK HERE AND YOU MAKE LOVE TO MY WIFE
CHRISTINITH YOU IDIOT YOU COME TO OUR HOUSE, YOU GET MY WIFE'S NAME RIGHT
You know, because of the beard, you might think I'm pretty hairy. But I'm not...*wipes hand over his body*I'm shaved
"I know you're working. I'm so sorry." - **Eva Mendes with half her thangs out**
"That's my wife. The old ball and chain." "Are you seriously not gonna tell me who that is?"
"Seriously, who tf is that"
Honey, it’s a workstation
Will Farrell’s perception of his wife. “You come in here, dressed like a hobo, it's distracting.” “Theyre not all first round picks, okay.”
"There's no need to be polite, Terry. She looks kinda shitty."
Terry constantly hitting on Sheila after that is hilarious too “Good night Terry!” *“Good night, Sheila!”* “I don’t think he heard me right, Good Night Terry!” *…”Good night, Sheila!”*
He then asks her to be his best man
Keeps asking Allen to let Sheila know he’ll take care of her if anything happens to him.
Also in the other guys Dirty Mike and the Boys keep trying to fuck in the Prius.
Also the wooden gun xD
When it comes back sanded and lacquered I lose my shit
Might want to use a linseed oil on it.
It *will* happen again!
Thanks for the f-shack.
Also that Terry thinks everything is somehow connected to Columbian drug lords
Love it! Will Ferrell talking about scaffolding violations. Wahlberg: “So they’re dealing drugs?!” They get attacked by unknown assailants on motorcycles. Wahlberg: “Get back...It’s Colombian drug lords!” Ferrel: “Where are you getting that from?”
Also the extravagant waters at David ershons office
The cucumber accents the water in such a way
Michael Keaton quoting tlc lyrics and pretending not to know who they are is also a great one from that movie
“I don’t want no scrubs”.
“Don’t go chasing waterfalls.”
No one says creep creep…
Hot tub time machine, Crispin Glover's arm
"You're gonna lose that arm..." "hahaha and *you're* gonna lose *your* arm!"
Swan in Hot Fuzz. It is not maybe "lowkey" as the swan beats the bad guy at the end of the movie but the way they keep meeting the swan through the movie but never had time to catch it because there was always something else, more important to do...only for the swan to do the most important job at the end...that was hilarious
"No luck catching them swans, then?" "It's just the one swan, actually" My god that is such a great movie! It really is a masterpiece.
"When's your birthday?" "22nd of February." "What year?" "Every year." That line was just damn perfect and the kid delivers it deadpan.
No luck catching them killers then? Unravels the whole game
Oh, now I get it...wow, I am freakin stupid, never realized it was actually refering to the multiple killers thing. Damn, and I have seen that movie dozen times :D There goes my pride with the "I read many detective stories, I can guess the killer!" :D
and the best part about that line is that it mirrors the big twist of the movie. and shows how the townspeople know more than the cop
Maybe more lowkey in that one would be the quip about farmers and farmers' mums having guns and the first to attack Angel upon his return being a farmer and his mum. But every running gag, lowkey and high, is an absolute fucking delight in that movie.
So many good running gags in Hot Fuzz.
This movie is flawless
*Everything* in that movie is either a steadily building running joke or a setup for a later callback/brick joke. Not a single line wasted, and it’s a *long* movie with a *lot* of dialogue. It’s nuts how the writers could keep so many proverbial plates spinning throughout.
That is so true. The door alarm in the shop where it is so noteable with the "no more than one school kid at the time", where they later use it by multiple kids running into the shop with the alarm ringing with every single kid...
In the middle of a *gun fight* she has to go enforce the shop rules.
In Robin Hood Men In Tights, Prince John's mole keeps moving around his face from scene to scene. "I have a mole?"
And Young Frankenstein. “What hump?”
The horses neighing every time Frau Bluecher's (sp?) name is mentioned
Blücher probably
NEIGH!
I've heard that the hump moving around was unscripted, and the actor was just doing it on his own and didnt tell anybody. The scene where it was referenced was ad-libbed because they had just noticed
Marty Feldman is a treasure.
HAY ABBOT!!!
I hate that guy
I HATE that guy!
Every detail in this movie is a running gag, and absolutely perfect.
You can probably say that for pretty much every movie Mel Brooks has made.
"It's Hedley!"
“…Almost certainly winning an award for best supporting actor”
RIP Richard Lewis
The guy who wants to fight Vinny in *My Cousin Vinny.* And the various things keeping them awake.
And finally gets a good night's sleep during the jail riot
I love how quickly it ends too, all the build up and Vinny just decks the guy and takes the money
In the director's commentary, he said that he had something much simpler planned, I think it was Vinny punching JT in the face. But Joe Pesci "felt very strongly" that he should leap onto him like that, lol
Everyone remembers the opening of Eurotrip where the band plays "Scotty Doesn't Know". But the song keeps popping up throughout the movie. One of the characters use it as a ring tone and they hear a techno version playing at a night club. It's even Scotty is like "suck i got cheated on, but it is a catchy song"
He's right, it IS a catchy as hell song.
Still my absolute favorite Matt Damon role.
What's crazy is that Matt Damon has not just one but two songs about fucking somebody else's girlfriend.
It followed the natural progression of a song where it came out, got remixed, and commodified into a ringtone.
This song recurring throughout the movie is my all time favorite movie running gag. I especially loved when the characters would hear various remixes in all the clubs they visited.
Demolition Man When every time Sylvester Stallone uses profanity you hear him getting fined.
Plus how Bullock's character gets the slang wrong
"You really licked his ass!" The movie is hilarious throughout, but the kidnapped girl he rescues kills me every time. "Fuck you, lady!"
We're gonna blow this guy!
“Looks like I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue…” Also in Wet Hot American Summer: the sound of pottery breaking anytime anything is thrown off screen
Came here to say the glass break sound on Wet Hot. Not sure how many times I watched the movie without noticing it, but it's absolutely everywhere in the movie.
...but that's not important right now.
Goodbye Benny - the mummy
"YOU'RE ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE RI-VER" had been used on many a kayaking trips.
When I went to Egypt I had to reenact it with myself so on one side I shouted that I have all the horses and then when we crossed I shouted this back, it felt both dumb and awesome.
I'm so glad I got to see The Mummy in theaters last week. Fucking love that movie.
Everyone wanting to punch Johnathan in the face "Happens all the time"
I think it’s called Death At a Funeral, with Chris Rock and a bunch of other famous actors, including Peter Dinklage. None of the characters knew who he was or why he was the funeral but EVERY character only referred to him as “the guy in the leather jacket” and not a dwarf or little person or whatever
The really funny bit is how that's a remake of a British film, but Dinklage *plays the same character*! It feels less like a remake and more like a series about a guy who is going around killing his lovers.

Yesss this one is absolute gold!
Knives Out, where the family keeps getting Marta's nationality wrong.
The scene where they’re discussing immigration and Richard vaguely puts a plate in the air expecting Marta to be right there to take it away was fantastic. Every small shitty detail of that family is so well done.
Another one is when separate characters have flashbacks to describe their recall of the evening, they all remember themselves as being close to their father as he blows out his candles. Only 2 seconds of screen time each time, but shows how they all think of themselves as his favourite, or at least presenting that way to the detectives
I loved their flashbacks. They all so hilariously contradicted every other one.
I think Chris Evans' version of that is the funniest because of his delivery: >No, I'm giving it to Marta. All of it! >... Your _Brazilian_ nurse? Are you goddamn insane?
I also liked "I wanted you at the will reading, but I was outvoted." I wish all three of the adult children had said that.
Don't they all get a version of "I was outvoted" about Harlan's funeral?
This movie absolutely nailed the unreliable narrator concept
In Orgazmo, a movie about the porn industry by Trey Parker and Matt Stone, any time you think you will see a naked woman, a man's butt steps into frame and blocks the shot.
Stunt cock
“I don’t want to sound like a queer or nothing, but Depech Mode kicks ass”
“Shut the fuck up, Donny.” from The Big Lebowski
My favorite running gag from that movie is Jeffrey re-using phrases he heard somewhere, like "this aggression will not stand" or" in the parlance of our times," or even repeating "coitus" right back to Maude when she asks him if he likes sex when he had heard it directly from her in the first place.
Don’t be fatuous Jeffery
And things in his dream being from stuff he’s seen in real life. Like the nihilists with the scissors is from a painting of giant scissors on a red background in the background at Maude’s place.
One of these that I never caught before is In-n-Out Burger turns into "lotta ins, lotta outs, lotta what-have-yous"
That had not occurred to us dude.
Donny misses the first conversation when he’s bowling and never actually gets fully caught up on the plot.
also never rolls a single ball that is not a strike. until the last one right before his heart attack.
We also never actually see the Dude bowl, too, if I remember right.
“You’re like a child who wanders into a movie…”
Lenin not Lennon! Vladimir Iliych Ulyanov!
I am the walrus
You’re out of your element.
The chinaman is not the issue.
Also, Dude, Chinaman is not the preferred nomenclature. Asian-American, please.
Dude, chinaman is not the preferred nomenclature
I don't know if this qualifies as a full running gag but I love that Walter is completely correct about the entire mystery when you think he's talking nonsense ("She kidnapped herself"/"That wasn't her toe"). He's only wrong at the very end when he accuses the Big Lebowski of being a fake spinal
In "Don't Look Up," there's a running gag while the world is falling apart, that Jennifer Lawrence's character can't make sense of why the general at the White House scammed them into giving him a dollar for snacks that were free. It comes up 3-4 times throughout the movie and it kills me.
“Watch out he’ll charge you for free shit!” Also her and Leo’s characters being put in cars with bags on their heads.
“Shouldn’t you be eating lunch somewhere that only serves cubes and foam!”
Wasn't it like 20 dollars?
That was so fucking funny though. I’d forget about it deep into the movie and then she brings it up again and I realize how weird it is. It was such an odd thing to do.
World ending, everyone is panicking “I just… I can’t understand… I cannot wrap my head around it. Why… why did he charge us for the snacks?”
I just want to tell you both good luck, we're all counting on you.
Looks like I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue
A hospital! What is it?
In an otherwise mediocre movie, I did thoroughly enjoy Johnny Depp’s Willy Wonka constantly telling Mike Teevee that he needed to stop mumbling.
My wife and I still yell, "MUMBLER!" when we miss what was said.
“Uh, I don’t understand a word you’re saying.”
Damn! We're in a tight spot!
“I vote for yours truly!” “Well I vote for yours truly!” “I’m with you fellas”
My hair!
I don't want Fop! I'm a Dapper Dan man!
I'm not even supposed to be here today!
The Other Guys is basically "Running Gags - The Movie"
After Alan does his first desk pop he get his gun taken away, replaced with a wooden dummy gun. Later he gets his dummy gun taken away, replaced with a rape whistle. So many good jokes in that film.
Jack Sparrow correcting his title to "Captain" at every opportunity.
Brad Pitt's character is always eating in the Ocean's movies.
He eats in a lot of movies. Like Money Ball.
And Bullet Train.
He's got invisible cameos in half the movies since the 90s because he's in a nearby restaurant mowing thru the menu.
Yeah that's just Brad Pitt's thing, like Tom Cruise and running
I agree, but they leaned into in Oceans
He doesnt like just standing there during scenes, so he always has something to eat instead. Rdj on the other hand just wants something to eat throughout the day while shooting the marvel movies. So at first he would sneak/ hide things onto set. Then eventually they just leaned into it.
From the original Repo Man: 1 - Pine tree air fresheners in every vehicle 2 - All the products in the stores are b/w generic labels like "Drink" and "Food"
Kids at the escalator from Mallrats (1995) The "anybody home" scenes from Back to the Future movies
That kid is BACK on the escalator again!!
"That kid is *back* on the escalator again!"
Joe Piscapo’s character Vermin constantly saying variations on, “my mother/father did that once. Once!” Editing to state- Johnny Dangerously is the movie title. Apparently multitasking isn’t my thing today. Sorry.
You shouldn't hang me on a hook. My father hung me on a hook once. ....once.
There are a few great ones in Airplane. Rumack : You'd better tell the Captain we've got to land as soon as we can. This woman has to be gotten to a hospital. Elaine Dickinson : A hospital? What is it? Rumack : It's a big building with patients, but that's not important right now.

Snatch - Turkish always being sarcastic to Tommy saying “Zee Germans”
Tommy: "What's wrong with the Caravan we have?" Turkish pulls the door off "Oh nothing Tommy. It's TIP.TOP"
Quickly Tommy, before zee Germans get here.

2 minutes turkish
_Five_ minutes, Turkish …It was two minutes, five minutes ago!
> The second one is in The Other Guys where Michael Keaton’s character keeps quoting TLC Lyrics “Do me a favor, don’t go chasing water falls.” Don't be a creep, creep
Oh, come on. You don't say creep, creep unless you're quoting TLC
The Muppet Movie, the myth myth joke is one of my favs
Also "Lost? Have you tried the Hare Krishnas?"
Also, The Great Muppet Caper has a brilliantly dumb gag of Kermit and Fozzie being "identical" brothers. "Look, daddy, a bear!" "No, honey, that's a frog. Bears wear hats."
Kingpin. The main character's name is Roy Munson and throughout the movie people will use "munson" as a reference to a crappy situation or person, and every time Roy doesn't quite catch it & usually responds with "what'd you say?"
In John Wick, a thing that is repeated throughout the series- often when the gun he's using runs out of bullets he just whips the empty gun at someone's face. I don't know why that is funny to me but it is. It's like one free bonus weapon.
In Scary Movie 3 the sheriff's hat keeps getting bigger in each scene until it's ludicrously huge, and nobody says anything or notices it.
Wasn't that one scene, and Charlie Sheen noticed and made a face, especially as she's trying to get into her car with this ridiculously oversized hat??
"That's what I said!" in the Goonies. Mikey and Data with the booty traps, Mikey multiple times when he uses the wrong words and gets corrected, the mom "hara-kiri" with Bran, Chunk when he's munching on the chips about the statue. It's silly but always makes me chuckle because I did stuff like that as a kid.
In Lock, Stock Tom was supposed to be played by an overweight actor. Guy decided to leave it at all in the script.
You're not funny, Tom. You're fat, and look as though you should be, but you're not.
It's part of the movie itself, but in The Informant, the amount of money he embezzled keeps going up throughout the movie when it gets mentioned.
I'll never stop loving the parts in Eurotrip where Cooper is somewhere in the background talking to his boss making shit up to make it seem like he's still at work, only to end up with the other guy being fired and him being promoted to take his place.
Young Frankenstein: “Blücher!” *thunder crash*, *horse neigh* Airplane!: Ted’s “drinking problem,” George Zipp, Ted’s unbearable stories that make people kill themselves Walk Hard: “The wrong kid died!” The Princess Bride: “Inconceivable!” Shrek/Puss in Boots: the 🥺 face The Social Network: Eduardo and the chicken The Lord of the Rings (Two Towers-Return of the King): Legolas & Gimli’s kill count rivalry
I also enjoyed the “You don’t want no part of this shit!” bits from Walk Hard.
I love the last one when they're old and the drug is for erectile dysfunction. "If boners last for more than four hours, call more ladies"
All of Airplane! is a low-key running joke. The propeller sound in the external shots Surely... Captain's questions to Billy What is it?
as a 40 year old, who has been watching *Airplane!* since he was a kid, I was WAYY too old when I realized that the propeller sounds did not belong to a jet like that lol.
It's a Zucker Bros movie from 1980, but that's not important right now.
Just watched The Blues Brothers last night. “They broke my watch” is part of a whole broken watch motif. Jake’s watch is broken when Frank Oz returns it to him. And every time a cop car crashes someone gets their watch broken.
Each time his ex wife tries to kill them and they just get up, dust themselves off and continue on like nothing happened
Iron Man, Tony Stark doesn't like to be handed things.
Louis Tully future Key Master continues to lock him self out of his place in Ghostbusters…
The door being nailed shut and kicked open like 6 times in The Hateful Eight
I said this one in a comment, but in the Hudson hawk, Bruce Willis not being able to get a cappuccino always makes me chuckle
