My favourite is when Topper and Kent first go up and are competing to see who can go the lowest and Kent on the radio and says "for your info im at 150feet" and then topper over radio "i'm at 3rd and main" and he's about 6feet off the ground
Absolutely anything Lloyd Bridges said or did! Like the scene after 'Dead Meat's funeral where he says that morale is shot to hell and lkooks at the picture of an airfield. "Roy! Roy! Huh, I went to school with that man. He's been ignoring me all day."
"Roy! Roy! Huh, I went to school with that man. He's been ignoring me all day." ____________________________________________________________________________________________________
Ha ha. That scene is so funny.
The bit when the officer rings the doorbell on the teepee and you can hear Topper unlocking the chains and bolts.
"The man who mistook your father for a deer. Was my father, Henry pffanbach (or something). If it helps I didnt have seconds."
"Meat, Dead Meat Thompson, is dead"
And the whole Clarke Kent and Lois Lane 'Superman' scene.
I really liked this whole scene, and what Admiral Benson is saying in it!:
Admiral Benson: Thompson wasn't that good a pilot, anyway. He only had a small family. The kids are a pain in the ass. The wife's on the sauce. Hell, poor bastard's better off dead. What size shoes do you wear?
Lt. Commander Block: A nine, sir.
Admiral Benson: Good. It's settled then. We'll send Harley to the front.
HAHA!

for gods sake man do i have to think of everything, put food in the raft. we'll tape his favorite shows, he wont miss anything. - admiral benson
latoya, tito, jermaine. - is what the old indian man says when showing topper the jacket dances with bikers made.
great helium. - block
what about your landlady?- topper you can do her too.- ramada
we use these to hold down the sound. - a man in the tower says as he hands the admiral a pair a earplugs. Then the admiral throws thew in his mouth and washes them down with water.

Don't forget the bit right after that:
"Gimme the mic, boy."
- The ensign accidentally KLONGS! the Admiral in the forehead with the PA.
"Oh, for the love of God, man, be careful! Ever since Normandy, this is Corningware..."
All three of the actors' reactions (or lack of reactions) in that scene, plus the noise the mic makes against his forehead... it just slays me every time.
ah jeah agree... this scene is sooo funny :D I watched this movie ca. 15 times... and it's just best comedy ever... I tried to find funny movies like this... but i can't find a better one... Airplane didn't made me laugh like hot shots!
I agree. It doesn't matter how many times I see this film I'm laughing the minute I see him. How could he play it so straight? I think he downplayed this in comparison to his role in 'Airplane'. "Hell of a day to stop sniffing glue" Sheer genius
I haven't seen this since I was a kid, and I didn't find it all that funny now....... except a few Lloyd Bridges parts. The whole sequence where his hat flies off and he wants to go back and get it is the only part that actually had me laughing out loud....... and I was REALLY laughing. LOL, it's making laugh just thinking about it. Actually I think that is one of the best comedy scenes I've seen in a LONG time. It was just sooooooo well done.
I love the bit were Topper is looking into wash outs eyes, its just so funny!!
and
Topper : Those are some long legs Ramada : i just had them lengthened, now they go all the way up
oh and when kent goes
Kent: Hey everybody. Drinks are on me.
and people drop from the ceiling and hundreds of people appear from no where to get a drink, cracks me up! and there are so many more i love this film!
"Let Hearts And Celtic Rise And Fall, they Huvny Got A Clue, but Brightly Shines Above Them Aw, the Boys In Royal Blue."
"Roy. ROY! I've been yelling at him all day, and look at that, he won't turn around."
"I would like to thank you for having us over for dinner last night. Cheryl and I thought the stroganoff was wonderful." (But sir, we didn't have you over for dinner last night.) "Then, where the hell was I? And who's Cheryl?"
At Dead Meat's funeral: "I mean, one minute you're in bed with a knockout gal... or guy, and the next, you're a compost heap. Doesn't that bother any of you? Because it scares the living PISS outta me!"
Topper's philosophy: "Playing to lose is like sleeping with your sister. Sure she's a great piece of tail with a blouse full of goodies, but it's just illegal. Then you get into that whole inbred thing. Kids with no teeth who do nothing but play the banjo... eat apple sauce through a straw... pork farm animals." And he says this with a straight face.
Dead Meat's wife, after Topper gives her $2500: "Thanks, Topper. Why, with the three million that I won on this Lucky Lotto ticket, I can take this 2500 and just blow it all on hats."
The names "Dances with Bikers" and "Fluffy Bunny Feet." (I considered both for my email address and they were taken.)
The ENTIRE "Only You" song, especially the Superman scene with the bird. I laughed for a half hour after that scene.
Admiral Benson: [after his cap blew off and landed in the sea] Holy Cow! My cap blew off! Swing her round. We'll pick it up. Officer: But, sir, we're on the mission. Admiral Benson: Good thinking. We'll pick it up on the way back. We gotta mark the spot, though. Put Robinowitz in a life raft. Have him row in circles until we return. That's funny. This is truly one of the best movies ever made.
Lloyd Bridges after falling down some stairs on the carrier: I slipped on the crab. Other Guy: I didn't see any crab, sir. Lloyd Bridges: Don't tell me. There were two crabs, they work in pairs.
