Despite the fact that a million different people have told me I remind them of Will Farrell, I am always cautious when watching one of his movies. His movies seem to be completely hilarious (Elf and Kicking and Screaming are two of my all-time favorite movies. If you haven't seen them, you should.) or a complete flop (Ron Burgundy). Because of this, I was cautiously optimistic about his animated movie, "Megamind." I ended up being very pleasantly surprised with this movie. The following banter between Megamind (the bad guy) and Metro Man (the good guy) is one of the funniest dialogues I have heard in a long time:
Megamind: Over here, old friend! In case you've noticed, you've fallen right into my trap.
Metro Man: You can't trap justice. It's an idea, a belief!
Megamind: But, even the most heartfelt belief can be corroded over time.
Metro Man: Justice is a non-corrosive metal.
Megamind: But metals can be melted by the heat of revange!
Metro Man: It's 'revenge', and it's best served cold!
Megamind: But it can be easily reheated in the microwave of evil!
Metro Man: Well, I think your warranty's about to expire!
Megamind: Maybe I got an extended warranty!
Metro Man: Warranties are invalid if you don't use the product for it's intended purpose!
Roxanne Ritchie: Uuhh! Girls, girls, you're both pretty! Can I go home now!
Thinking of these lines remind me of some movie quotes that I like to use every once in a while that, when people hear them, are likely to be completely confused as to why I chuckle when I say them.
1. "Ollo." This is how Megamind answers the phone. 90% of the time this is how I answer the phone.
2. "Are you serious, Clark?" On Christmas Vacation, Clark Griswold is standing at the table and says, "hey kids, I heard the weatherman on the news say there is an unidentified flying object over New York (I might have paraphrased this a bit)." At which point, cousin Eddie replies, "Are you serious, Clark?" This is a great question to ask when someone tells you something strange or unbelievable.
3. "Do you honestly think I don't know that?" Another line from Christmas Vacation. This one happens at the beginning when the Griswold's are driving out to the woods to pick out a Christmas tree. On the way, they get into a little road rage incident in which the family wagon ends up driving underneath a semi trailer, right between the axles. Ellen Griswold turns to Clark and states, "Clark, we are under a semi (again, paraphrasing)." Clark turn to her and asks in exasperation, "Do you honestly think I don't know that?" I love this line when someone states the obvious.
If you have any other lines that should be added to my daily conversations, please let me know.
I am watching Christmas Vacation right now! Yes, I realize it is July, talk to comedy central :) One of the funniest movies ever. We answer the phone at our house "Buddy the Elf, What's your favorite color?"
ReplyDeleteYou sit on a throne of lies. You are not Santa, you smell like beef and cheese. Another line from that movie I use a lot is, "you're an angry elf."
