Way to protect ILX from dookie G00glers, kyle!

they are a nefarious bunch

I have the mp3 for HIGHER AND HIGHER, the song Coop trains to, if anybody ever needs it. When I downloaded it I thought it would be longer than it is in the movie -- but nope, about 1 minute long.

when he throws the big fit in the cafeteria and makes a big stink about picking up the plates.

One of the greatest. It deserves to be in the Comedy Pantheon.

I love that movie. I need it on dvd.
-- scott seward (skotro...), November 12th, 2004.

yeah, get it on DVD, then you can watch the whole movie with the Fart Option on! (which i think someone mentioned before)

seriously, this is one of the all-time funnies movies EVER.
also, i havent smoked pot since high school really, but once i did and watched this and i swear to god i thought i was going to die from laughing so hard.

youre missing out if you dont like this movie.
and Coop is hot.

(sidenote, Eddie Izzard is also hysterical to watch while high)

very funny movie, kinda falls apart at the end but whatev.

i like the punchline of the whole radio kid plot (when it pans down and the wires aren't plugged into anything).

also did you know it's freaks & geeks guy doing the voice of that kid?

The best part of the whole movie is Paul Rudd's doubletake when SuperCoop arrives.

"Beth, I need some lube. (in a whisper) FOR MY PUSSY."

― Werner Herzog Eats His Shoe (Plastic Gas Booby Trap), Wednesday, 22 June 2005 03:38 (eighteen years ago) link

oh yeah, that doubletake is amazing.

― gunther heartymeal (keckles), Wednesday, 22 June 2005 03:46 (eighteen years ago) link

has no one mentioned the gay sex scene yet? (i'm too impatient and drunk to scroll through and find out). i put this movie on once when i worked in a video store and completely forgot that scene was in there. i inadvertently shocked and appalled groups of mothers and children in one fell swoop. it was great.

― Werner Herzog Eats His Shoe (Plastic Gas Booby Trap), Wednesday, 22 June 2005 03:53 (eighteen years ago) link

ohh wow, that's funny. the best thing about that part I think is the overlapping of the conversation about "GETTING MCKINLEY LAID."

― gunther heartymeal (keckles), Wednesday, 22 June 2005 04:06 (eighteen years ago) link

"McKinley needs to experience the ultmate"
"You mean penis-in-vagina?"
"No, idiot. Sex!"

― Werner Herzog Eats His Shoe (Plastic Gas Booby Trap), Wednesday, 22 June 2005 04:09 (eighteen years ago) link

I like when they decide to not have the final baseball game because it's cliched.

― polyphonic (polyphonic), Wednesday, 22 June 2005 04:11 (eighteen years ago) link

i hate to simply repeat what others have said but Rudd poutily cleaning up is one of the funniest things ever in a movie.

― ryan (ryan), Wednesday, 22 June 2005 04:12 (eighteen years ago) link

and don't forget the TUBE SOCKS in the sex scene

― kingfish (Kingfish), Wednesday, 22 June 2005 04:18 (eighteen years ago) link

I like the off-camera river rescue. OH MAN, .. OH... YOU'RE DOING IT...

― polyphonic (polyphonic), Wednesday, 22 June 2005 04:19 (eighteen years ago) link

how have i NOT contributed to this thread before?! i can't even begin to put into words how much i love this movie. i think there've only been a handful of times in my life where i've literally ROFFLED and allan shemper's standup routine was one of them: the "i went to camp so long ago that JESUS FUCKING CHRIST was my counselor!" bit sent me over the edge. and "higher and higher" is the GREATEST. and i'll stop myself here before i embarrass myself with my WHAS-geekdom.

(okay okay i went to the first EVAH midnight screening of this in nyc and as this was before the movie became extremely popular at my school, everyone thought i was a nutcase. this was of course during the first week of freshman year when everyone was still getting to know each other. oops!)

― joseph (joseph), Wednesday, 22 June 2005 05:43 (eighteen years ago) link

I like how practically every moment in the movie has been mentioned twice on this thread. Best bit mentioned only once on this thread: The uppity blonde theater talent-show directress (the one from SNL) spends the entire movie convinced that her Godspell number cast are hideous, amateur dullards that will ruin her whole show. Fast forward to the talent show, and the cast are "awesome." Though the blonde directress spends the entire number looking over her shoulder while playing their piano accompaniment just to scowl at their ineptitude, the audience is clapping and grinning and seemingly having a great time. The number draws to a close and we're building up to that "star is born" moment, and the audience immediately begins booing with sheer disgust at their hideous, amateurish ineptitude!!!

― Eric H: not a troll, with one exception (Eric H.), Wednesday, 22 June 2005 06:13 (eighteen years ago) link

i have a friend who INSISTS that the reason they boo is because the cross lights up at the end ('cuz it's a JEWISH camp, see?). i mean, it's not entirely implausible but i think the absurdity is lost on him somewhat.

― joseph (joseph), Wednesday, 22 June 2005 06:16 (eighteen years ago) link

I need to give a second vote for:
"What're you doing?"
"Writing in my gurnal"

― scout (scout), Wednesday, 22 June 2005 06:20 (eighteen years ago) link

um there is one part that hasn't been mentioned. What about the guy who MAKES ALL THE WIND at the talent show? And everyone acts like it was the best act ever. Definitely one of the best part!

― gunther heartymeal (keckles), Wednesday, 22 June 2005 14:49 (eighteen years ago) link

that's obviously why they are booing. it is a jewish camp. (the part when garafolo is calling all the students names)

― cutty (mcutt), Wednesday, 22 June 2005 14:56 (eighteen years ago) link

yeah, i never considered that was why they were booing, although now it seems totally obvious. i just found it funny that they were all into it up until the end and then decided to collectively change their mind and boo the shit out of it. it works either way, in my opinion.

― Werner Herzog Eats His Shoe (Plastic Gas Booby Trap), Wednesday, 22 June 2005 15:01 (eighteen years ago) link

day bidet has only been mentioned once, someone mention it again

― Homosexual II (Homosexual II), Wednesday, 22 June 2005 15:09 (eighteen years ago) link

you just did!

― gunther heartymeal (keckles), Wednesday, 22 June 2005 15:10 (eighteen years ago) link

i just found it funny that they were all into it up until the end and then decided to collectively change their mind and boo the shit out of it.

same here, and that's why i never really bought my friend's explanation, but whatever works for you...

"i don't think so, ronald vonkleinenstein. i really don't think so."

― joseph (joseph), Wednesday, 22 June 2005 15:14 (eighteen years ago) link

i say "DAY BIDET" all the time in social situations

ARTS AND FARTS

for breakfast we had PTERODACTYL EGGS and RAPTOR BACON

― joseph (joseph), Wednesday, 22 June 2005 15:39 (eighteen years ago) link

another great coop moment is his reaction shot when he first sees paul rudd making out with the girl he's in love with. michael showalter's expression is totally priceless.

"I want you inside of me."
"What?"
"oh - no, I was just saying "what's up?" from before"

― Werner Herzog Eats His Shoe (Plastic Gas Booby Trap), Wednesday, 22 June 2005 17:05 (eighteen years ago) link

Well, having read this whole thread again in a state of full sobriety I'm actually pretty surprised that no one has mentioned the part where the can gives Gene the pep talk about being honest with himself.

On first viewing, my roommate and I had no idea what to make of the film and the can's line, "I've never told anyone this...but i can suck my own cock. and i do it. a LOT" was what completely sent us over the edge into WTF mode.

but after that wore off and i've watched it a dozen or so times again that line will continually crack me up into oblivion.

― Werner Herzog Eats His Shoe (Plastic Gas Booby Trap), Thursday, 23 June 2005 00:47 (eighteen years ago) link

I think the commentary track makes it pretty clear that the cross-jewish-camp-boo thing is just a coincidence, but one they're not sorry is there.

The American kids here were all like "wait you guys haven't seen WET HOT AMERICAN SUMMER? Lets fix this RIGHT NOW"

― Gravel Puzzleworth (Gregory Henry), Thursday, 23 June 2005 03:27 (eighteen years ago) link

oh and the day bidet! i just think that bit is classic.

david hyde pierce: "i said NO!!!"

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 23 June 2005 03:41 (eighteen years ago) link

Molly Shannon isn't really funny throughout the movie, but her arc does end in a pretty great bit of pedo-LTR-ing.

― Eric H: not a troll, with one exception (Eric H.), Thursday, 23 June 2005 03:58 (eighteen years ago) link

i like her in it!

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 23 June 2005 04:00 (eighteen years ago) link

three years pass...

people who didn't see this yet, please just go ahead and see it

― El Tomboto, Thursday, 10 July 2008 18:54 (fifteen years ago) link

Still not funny enough.

gene is the best character in the history of cinema

― bell_labs, Thursday, 10 July 2008 19:05 (fifteen years ago) link

I saw Michael Showalter @ Foxwoods playing poker last week! I did not attempt to bro down or dap because A) he was just coming from the bathroom, B) I didn't want to stalk him to his higher-stakes table and C) I was probably busy getting my aces cracked. Supposedly, Michael Ian Black was also there.

I will go again this weekend, in the hopes of seeing Thomas Lennon or Ken Marino.

― David R., Thursday, 10 July 2008 19:12 (fifteen years ago) link

Alex was correct in his first post. Fucking terrible film.

― nate woolls, Thursday, 10 July 2008 19:13 (fifteen years ago) link

this may be the funniest movie.

― Jordan, Thursday, 10 July 2008 19:16 (fifteen years ago) link

Is there a thread somewhere for "The Ten"?

― The Yellow Kid, Thursday, 10 July 2008 19:23 (fifteen years ago) link

i didn't think this was very funny at all
