Funniest line in the movie?


There were so many parts I cracked up at, but one of my favorite parts is when they're interviewing Tracey for the show, and they ask if she would be in a pimple cream commercial, and she says something along the lines of:

"I'd be proud to. Fortunately, I haven't been cursed with acne....like others."

Just that whole scene is hilarious.

I asked for ketchup, I'm eating salad here!

"Alright everyone let's go! Let's play DADGEBALL!"

"Penny Pingleton, you'll wake the dead!"

"First you ask if you can be red, knowing that I'm always red."

How about when Corny dismisses the dance candidates by saying they've got to move on "so we can debate your personality flaws?"
