Whether its,

Ty Webb from Caddyshack.

I was born to love you
I was born to lock your face
I was born to rub you
But you were born to rub me first

Cocaine is responsible for some funny scenes

 

[Plugger35]

One of the greatest comedy scenes of all time.

44

Chevy Chase, Bill Murray and John Belushi all did coke which is why they were so funny.

Dan Akroyd didn't do coke and he made Doctor Detroit, go figure.

This is the most embarrassing attempt at trolling you've ever made.

Caddyshack then daylight for me.

His late night talk show was pretty good.

The only thing I've really laughed at regarding Chevy Chase, was watching him get carved up by Dame Edna

You'd assume he'll be another one to be accused of rape.

The history of the cannonball scene in Caddyshack

Ramis realised he had no scenes with Bill and Chevy so the decided to film one, no script just the setup and then the two guys just bounced off each other

 

[Dan Moody]

so many scenes to choose from.
"you using the whole fist there doc?"

Best work is in the Fletch movies for me.

Every exam I walked into for basically my entire life I thought of this scene.

I think most of Rodney Dangerfield's scenes in that film were ad-libbed too, it was basically just him bringing his usual comedy shtick that he did in the clubs.

Caddyshack is my favourite Chevy Chase film, I've watched it countless times and still get plenty of laughs out of it each time, although it's not solely a Chevy Chase vehicle with Bill Murray and Rodney Dangerfield playing an equal part in bringing the laughs.

National Lampoon's Vacation is my second favourite and Clark Griswald is his best character, Christmas Vacation is very good too but European Vacation was a bit of a let down, the lack of Cousin Eddie played by Randy Quaid didn't help it, some of the funniest scenes in the other two Vacation films involved him.

Some great movies in the '80s, then nothing for 30 years. Last great film was probably Three Amigoes in '86. Coke is a helluva drug.

Christmas Vacation 1989

Christmas Vacation 1989

Sad retread of Vacation and European Vacation that leans too heavily on Randy Quaid, who's better in small doses.

Children are worse. Both Eddie Murphy's and Chevy Chase's careers had less raunch when they had kids.

I do enjoy Fletch.

And Johnny Depp too, albeit a different actor. Stopped doing R when he decided he wanted to do movies that his kids could watch.

Probably had a lot to do with him getting too old to play those goofball comedy roles and unlike Bill Murray he couldn't reinvent himself as an older actor.

I reckon even his kids would be sick of watching his Pirates of the Caribbean movies and his remake of Willy Wonka was atrocious.

I'm one of few who prefer the remake.

Funny Farm is still a classic. Used to love fletch as a kid but they are unwatchable now, had to apologise to the friend I had sit watch it with me.
