Chevy Chase

[El Dubya]

Fletch was one of my favourite movies as a kid.

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.

Really? I always thought Funny Farm was one of he weakest outings. "Sheep Balls!" Was a memorable moment, but not much else.

I used to use the name Clark Griswold when I ordered pizza

That was the funniest scene in the film, the rest of it was pretty average though.

I remember being so excited when I saw Funny Farm in the bargain DVD bin for about $6, had good memories of it as a kid. Bought it, went straight home to watch it with the wife, and was thoroughly unamused. Even at $6 I felt like I overpaid.

For me he'll always be Clark Griswold. A great set of flicks and a timeless character. Was great to see him as Pierce Hawthorne too while it lasted, even if he didn't quite enjoy it.

Funny Farm was one of those films that was always available in $3 weekly rentals section at the video shop.

Chevy named after the Washington DC suburb of the same name.

Fletch and Clark W Griswold as classic characters.

I thought he was named after the bank.

According to wiki he was named after this old English ballad by his grandmother.

Thank you very little

Anyone watched A Stupid and Futile Gesture on Netflix? It's about the guys who made National Lampoon Magazine. Joel McHale does a pretty good Chevy, despite not looking like him (and the film addressed this pretty cleverly as well).

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

Yep....Couldn't agree more....Totally talent-less vacuous flog.

Proof of just how dumb Americans are.

He did spend 3 and half years doing a show with him so I guess he got some good insight.

Saw this come up the other night and added it to the list.

No love for Foul Play or Seems Like Old Times here? I was a fan of both as a kid. Hard to go past Caddyshack and the Fletch movies though. The first two vacation films were good but it got pretty shite after that for me.

I like a bit of Chevy; I still maintain Community was never the same after he left.

At its peak it was my favourite show at the time.

Fletch is underrated as ****.

So many quick lines

Just posted this on the airline food thread, one of my favourite Chevy lines:

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.

Would you like to kiss me on the verandah?

Lips will be fine.

His late night talk show was pretty good.

"Six Fabulous Weeks of The Chevy Chase Show".

Was it that long? Arsenio went longer?
