As for a good flick, go to your nearest art house and check out "Bubba Ho-Tep"
Funny as balls.

Talk about improving upon later viewings, I watched the entire first season of "The Office" over the weekend, and this morning while brushing my teeth, I was thinking of a particular scene and very nearly choked on a mouthful of Colgate. When I saw the scene, I laughed, but not in the gut-busting way I did when I thought about it later. [Scene described below, after some other words that will substitute for actual "spoiler space".]
I just love that show. My husband doesn't think it's funny at all -- how can that be? He's more of a Beavis & Butthead kind of guy (as long as it's about farts -- it's funny...), or if you want to get really highbrow, Dumb & Dumber.
Also, when watching another of the episodes (the one with the giant inflatable cock -- as it is described on the scene/episode menu), I could not help but be reminded of the conversation here about who coined what term. [Now, the spoiler space and the "reveal" of what episodes I'm talking about.]
FUNNY SCENE THAT MADE ME CHOKE ON MY TOOTHPASTE:
The one where the staff are in a training meeting to learn about customer care, and the training guy asks David to do some role-playing with him, where the trainer is to play an unhelpful hotel clerk, and David is the customer with a complaint.
Well, the part where David (after being rebuffed by the trainer in an attempt to file his complaint) blurts out -- "There's been a rape!" The total randomness of that (David's just GOT to "win") and the look of horror on the trainer's face -- OK, I'm laughing just thinking about it now -- good thing I'm not brushing my teeth.
SCENE BRINGING TO MIND THE FB's DISCUSSION OF TERM-COINAGE
David claims that he invented "Exsqueeze Me" instead of "Excuse Me" and "Wank you very much" and similar amusing comments.
