Who knows the single funniest line?


There are several good lines in the movie. But one fall-down-funny line, not apropos of any of its themes, suggests L.H. may be the real thing in comedy writing.

What's the line? Clue: three words.

reply

I don't know who knows the funniest line.

Perhaps the OP just wants to reach out for some sense of community.

Alison Brie is sitting alone at a table at a nice restaurant, waiting for Adam Scott to return from using the facilities.

He comes back, sits down, and matter-of-factly announces, "Bathroom f___ing stinks." Now there is a line that's just apropos of nothing, definitely declasse, yet rings so true, I couldn't stop laughing for the next five minutes.

reply

you laughed at that for five minutes! you need help.

reply

That wasn't Adam Scott. It was Adam Brody or whatever. Different guy.

Lots of funny lines. what is it?

a very funny moment was andrea savage telling her husband about her being an anal virgin (or whatever they called it) -- "not true, a lot of people have been up there. just not you."

Andrea Savage is funny as hell! a complete natural comic & beautiful too. very bright future, right?!

reply

I agree that that was a good line, and I really agree about Andrea Savage. I love her, she's funny, and damn, she's hot. But a bright future? No. She's past her due date. Not for me; I'd do her silly. But for Hollywood. Meaning, since she hasn't made it big by now, she won't.

I'll still watch anything she's in, though.

Jason Mantzoukas is always funny, but when ever I see him he's so underused.

Clearly, the OP is the type of person which ever writer, director, producer, and star dream of.


The sort who will find something hilarious in even the most pathetic film. The sort who'll laugh for minutes. The sort who will have milk running out their nose at a joke, which was recycled from a film, which had a gag, which was originally used in ripoff of a vaudeville act,

...which borrowed it from a group of saloon performers in the late 1800's.








(but ultimately, was from a common political satire dating back to the American Revolution)

are you related to koko the gorilla by any chance?

Xander: That's exactly why I can't have you at the party, because you have repartee with everybody. You love repartee. All you wanna do is flit around the party, flirt with the moms. And then they all get mad and they turn on each other then they yell at Naomi then Naomi yells at me then they wont let their kids play with my kids. Then I have to play with my kid because my kids have no friends. I'm raising friendless children because of you! Do you understand? It is a cascading *beep* storm that is your creation.

Jake: That is a tremendous amount of Malcolm Gladwellian logic jumps.

Xander: Well you spent ten thousand hours *beep* my life up, so bring Lainey to the party.

I agree with Squall, I loved this exchange, original (IMO) and hilarious!!

However, my favorite funniest line(s) was

You’re like the hardest drug at the coolest party (edit)
"I hope cocaine isn’t mad at Me" no dude thinks like that
(edit) except A Sorkin

Brilliant!!

Movie was so much funnier than I thought it would be, though I wish I hadn't read as many of the 'hate' threads as I did
True to 'the internet'anonymous hate is alive and well

The other couple were funny and well drawn as characters
I will recommend this movie

"Chris Smith? As in Chris Smith tree?"

reply

"I taught you that as a gift to you. That was not a Chris Smith gift, ok?" I love simple gags like that and it was used perfectly and not too much.

reply

Yea, not really. It was mediocre writing, was not particularly funny (a few funny lines here and there doesn't quite do it) and the directing was even worse. Overall a disappointing, predictable, slightly boring and slow...movie that is labeled as a comedy.
