I love the fact that there is a genuinely funny American movie that doesn't feel like it has to fall back on gross-out humor. It's beautiful. |
Back in the halcyon days of yore, when comedy movies actually required the viewer to possess some intellect in order to obtain full enjoyment.
My God, between this thread and ThatGuy's birthday thread, I'm feeling really old. And I'm only 22. I don't want to die yet.
To cheer myself up, I'm going to quote a bit more of the movie.
==UNCLE NUTSY'S CLUBHOUSE==
*George, as Uncle Nutsy, comes out and does a goofy dance to a soft, lullaby-like tune*
Uncle Nutsy: "Hey kids! Where do you want to go!?"
*About 7 kids are sitting on the side. All of them look bored and disinterested.*
Kids: *half-heartedly*"To Uncle Nutsy's Clubhouse."
Uncle Nutsy: "That's right! I'm your Uncle Nutsy! And boy oh boy, are we going to have some big fun today! Huh, kids!?
*The kids squirming and fiddling around, paying no attention whatsoever.*
Uncle Nutsy: *nervous laugh* "Well, let's walk on over and see who's in our Kiddie Korner!!"
*Uncle Nutsy walks over to the kids and takes a seat next to a little boy*
Uncle Nutsy: "Hi...what's your name?"
Billy: "Billy."
Uncle Nutsy: "Billy what?"
*Billy hawks a loogie that ends up hanging off Uncle Nutsy's nose*
Uncle Nutsy: "OK..."
*We see a clown in the window of the house. He honks his horn.*
Uncle Nutsy: "Uh oh! You know who that is? That's right, it's your pal, BOBBO THE CLOWN!! Yayyyy!
*Bobbo comes out of the house and does a little dance, honking his horn. He runs over to Uncle Nutsy*
Uncle Nutsy: "Hey Bobbo, wanna play a game?"
*Bobbo honks his horn and shakes his head happily in agreement*
Uncle Nutsy: "OK! Look up..."
*Bobbo looks up*
Uncle Nutsy: "...look down..."
*Bobbo looks down*
Uncle Nutsy: "...now look at Mr. Frying Pan!!"
*Bobbo gives a look of "WTF?" as Uncle Nutsy creams him in the face with a frying pan. The cameraman winces in pain at the impact*
Uncle Nutsy: "Uh oh! Bobbo fall down go boom!"
*Billy looks on and gives a sigh of boredom as Uncle Nutsy helps Bobbo up*
Uncle Nutsy: "Upsie-daisy...say, Bobbo, what's wrong?"
*Bobbo flashes an evil look at Uncle Nutsy*
Uncle Nutsy: "Oh, I bet I know...you're hungry, aren't you?"
*Bobbo gives a half-hearted squeak of his horn*
Uncle Nutsy: "Well, I know just what you want!"
*The cameraman hands Uncle Nutsy a box*
Uncle Nutsy: "Clowns and kids alike can't resist the mouthwatering,
*holds up box...unbeknownst to both Bobbo and Uncle Nutsy, it say's "Yappy's Dog Treats"* lip-smacking taste of Mrs. Hackenberger's Butter Cookies! Right, Bobbo!?"
*Uncle Nutsy shoves the treats into Bobbo's mouth. After a few bites, Bobbo's face contorts to a look of disgust*
Uncle Nutsy: "That's right! And hey mom, they're nutritous, too! Just look at how much Bobbo here likes them!"
*Bobbo is seen choking them down, still looking disgusted*
Uncle Nutsy: "Mmmmmm! That's good!!! And don't forget, kids, there's a nifty surprise inside every box
*looks at box* of Mrs. Hackenbergers..."
*Uncle Nutsy realizes that he's holding dog treats. Bobbo looks at Uncle Nutsy with confusion.*
Uncle Nutsy: "Uh oh....
*nervous laugh*...Bobbo's been eating Yappy's Dog Treats!!"
*Bobbo holds his hand to his mouth and runs off-camera*
Uncle Nutsy: "That's right! Yappy's Dog Treats! Your dog will love that real liver and tuna taste..."
*Bobbo is heard vomiting*
Uncle Nutsy: "...with just a hint of cheese!"

My most favorite part of the movie, ever.
