To this day, I've never laughed harder than I did when I first saw this scene. My cheeks and abs cramped up, my back started to hurt, my lungs damn near collapsed from laughing so hard.

Thankfully, I don't think I'll ever laugh that hard for as long as I live, because I think there might be a good chance I could actually die of laughter.

Jim Carrey is the GOAT

This is exactly what I experienced. It's 30 years ago, and i still remember that I had trouble drawing my breath due to laughing way too hard.

"You're gonna laugh yourselves to death! Just like your idiot hyena cousins!!1!"

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 hours ago

I recognize that quote. And that one is a classic.

[–] MimicJar 14 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

It is wholesome. A family in the film even stops to watch the miracle of life.

[–] ZILtoid1991 6 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Unfortunately, the transphobia in the prequel is less wholesome.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 13 hours ago

Ah hell I'd glossed over that in my mind. Thanks for the reminder.

ITT: young people who never saw this masterpiece of a movie.

[–] jaybone 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I consider myself old, but I’m not remembering this movie. What was this from?

I was unaware that the Wachutis were biters!

Dumb shit but fun shit.

[–] [email protected] 39 points 1 day ago

I saw this scene at 11 years old and I didn't stop laughing for 15 minutes.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 day ago* (last edited 23 hours ago) (2 children)

I'm surprised I didn't rupture my spleen when I saw that.

It was in a cinema, too, if you remember what those were.

I couldn't breathe, and I was all but a puddle on the sticky floor, laughing my adult ass off.

[–] shalafi 3 points 16 hours ago

That scene was about as hard as I've ever laughed. Must have had it on VCR because it was the 90s. Scared to revisit it because I couldn't possibly laugh that hard a second time.

[–] TheGiantKorean 5 points 22 hours ago

Same same. One of the funniest scenes in a movie that I can recall.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Say what you will about those stupid movies, I miss them...

Zucker, Abrahams and Zucker, Mel Brooks, the early Jim Carrey comedies, Police Academy...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 14 hours ago

I really loved police academy. Rewatched it recently with our late teen kids-wow, does it have some racial and queer jokes that made us all very uncomfortable. the rest is still gold though.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

I just miss silly spoof movies.

I feel like those " (genre) Movie" films were such weak throwaways and the silly parody movie quietly just died shortly after. Especially when everything wanted to be an "adult comedy" or a "dramedy" (ughh!)

You don't really see that fun absurdist trope-poking humor of Kung Pow!, Airplane, Monty Python, or Austin Powers, anymore. Spy movie spoofs were such a great time. :)

A TV show called Angie Tribeca did this SO WELL. It was such a great cop show parody full of silly wordplay and puns and unbelievably ridiculous scenarios.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago) (1 children)

I miss movies like Scary Movie. You'll never see anything like that ever again.

I don't remember noticing how obviously fake that rhinoceros was when I was a kid

[–] [email protected] 34 points 1 day ago (3 children)

I do, but that may be because iirc it was fake in cannon. It's been a long time but as I recall he built the rhino as a sort of hunting blind, I don't remember why well but I think it was to observe/photo animals.

He was following around one of the main villain's henchmen to see what he was up to.

It was to spy on the guy who was suspected of... Doing something. It's been a while

[–] dustyData 6 points 1 day ago

He stole a white bat to halt a tribal marriage and then force a war between the tribes. Thus allowing an English company he owns to exploit the conflict to steal the guano trade for profit.

Jim Carey is an anti-vac conspiracy dickhead.

[–] MellowYellow13 1 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago)

He is antivax for real? Didnt know, got a link or anything?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 15 hours ago

Both statements are valid

[–] [email protected] 1 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Damn, fer serious? That sucks balls

S like when learned Beck was in Scientology 🤢

[–] [email protected] 3 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Just looked it up. According to several sites He came out about the belief that vaccines can cause autism (not true) back in 2015.

Not cool, but at least it was before the COVID antivax ivermectin nonsense ... I hope one day to discover his thoughts on Ivermectin, but have not the will to Google it.

Still love what he did for the comedic world. His work through the nineties and early oughts was on the level of the greats and he continues to pursue the performance craft. I was so worried when I learned he'd be playing Robotnic... And Robotic f'n slaps! Holy crap that dance sequence in Sonic 2 had me cracking up

I'll pray for him tonight 🙏

[–] MellowYellow13 2 points 7 hours ago

Yeah same was also worried, but he is awesome in Sonic

[–] foggy 27 points 1 day ago (2 children)

There’s nothing inherently wholesome or obscene about the cycle of death and rebirth. It simply is. 🧘

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I just had the disturbing realization that someone is into this shit.
