100 Funniest Movies (Part 19 ~ #s 10-6)
# 10 ~~~ Parenthood
The Diarrhea Song
Parenthood ~ 1989
Ah, the Buckmans. You remember them don't you? There's Cowboy Gil (Steve Martin) and his wife Karen (Mary Steenburgen) who aren't above crashing the car in the name of love. Their 3 kids are Kevin (crybaby), Taylor (exorcist child) & Justin (our favorite) who likes smashing things with his head. Gil has two sisters. Helen Buckman (Dianne Wiest) who is trying to keep her kids (Martha Plimpton & Joaquin Phoenix) from having more sex than necessary while living under her roof, be it alone or in the company of that Tod (Keanu Reeves). Gil & Helen's baby sister is Susan (Harley Jane Kozak) who's marriage to Nathan (Rick Moranis) is in jeopardy over parental control of their emerging ninja-scientist daughter Patty. They also have a brother, Larry (Tom Hulce) who they don't see very often, unless he blows into town with a gambling debt and a son named Cool. Their father (Jason Robards) is in for the biggest lesson of all, though. Last but not least, let us not forget Grandma (Helen Shaw) because she's brilliant. Question: "If she's so brilliant then why is she sitting in our neighbors car?"
# 9 ~~~ Coming To America

She's Your Queeeeeeeeeen tooooooooo beeeee!
The Bathers / Wipers!

Coming To America ~ 1988
Prince Akeem of Zamunda is searching for his future bride where? Queens. Where else? He finds a nice 'common part' of town and the search begins. He finds her and is soon employed at McDowell's, her father's McDonald's rip-off restaurant.
For those of you love Eddie's multi-character performance in The Nutty Professor, just remember...it all began in the barbershop.
~~~~~~~~~F U, F U & F U! Who Next?
# 8 ~~~ Election
# 8, Isn't that kinda high?
The only way you could argue with this choice is if you never saw the film!
It is the standard by which all future comedies should aspire!
Election ~ 1999
Mr. McAllister tries to alter the course of Tracy Flick's destiny. End of Story.
Matthew Broderick takes an unflattering role for the greater good. Laughs. Reese Witherspoon proved right here that she was far more versatile than we had previously thought possible. You could have found some other actor to play Mr. McAllister I admit that. But there could only be one Tracy Flick. You will be both smitten by her and not soon after creeped out laughing watching her in Matthew Broderick's sex fantasy. You know what scene I'm talking about. Tammy Metzler's election speech before the entire school in the gymnasium is one if the funniest things I have ever seen. By the end, when the crowd cheers I have tears in my eyes. Every Time. Pick Flick!
# 7 ~~~ Airplane!
Airplane! ~ 1980
Surely you can't be serious? I am serious and Don't Call Me Shirley.
You ever seen a grown man naked?
Oh stewardess, I speech jive!
Ted's drinking problem.
Johnny the gay office boy!
Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit..... -smokin', -drinkin', --amphetimines, and finally, -sniffin' glue!
Roger, Victor, Niner, Vector, Clearance, Clarence, Over?
