Buffista Movies 4: Straight to Video  

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Which reminds me: everything set at the convention in Galaxy Quest. EVERYTHING.

Yes, this.

I remembered two more while flipping channels tonight and catching an episode of Whose Line is it Anyway?

  • British version. Game is Superheroes. Ryan Stiles as "Tight Underwear Boy".

  • American version. Game is Green Screen. Colin Mochary (sp?) in front of the screen, which is (unknown to him) displaying a collection of clips of him from the show. The best part is early in the bit, he says the reason for the "news" he's supposedly reporting is "A bald joke gone horribly wrong" or some such.

Really, I think the British Whose Line is probably the most consistantly responsible for unable to breathe bouts of laughter than any other program for me.

British Whose Line, worst thing to say on meeting the Queen, Stephen Fry: "Oh, that reminds me, I must buy a stamp".

Thrive to spite them

One of the funniest things I've seen on the American version was Ryan Stiles playing a foal being born as a party guest.

Ann, that's a ferret.

"As God as my witness, I thought turkeys could fly," on WKRP.

Not least because the ep starts out so slowly and so low-key.

British Whose Line

Everything Tony Slattery ever said.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Everything Tony Slattery ever said.

I was walking with my handbag the other day,
I went up to my homie and he said "hey!"
He said "Hey, hey, hey hey hey hey hey hey"
And he was really repetitive so I shot him

Ficht nicht mit Der Raketemensch!

Sorry, Tony Slattery isn't funny. That's actually one of Newton's Laws of Physics.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Dude, Wayne Brady -- particularly his songs. They do get me laughing so hard I can't breathe.

Also the skit where Ryan and Colin made the letter h, lowercased.

And mentioning Wayne Brady reminds me -- "Does Wayne Brady have to choke a bitch?!?"

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

One of the funniest things I've seen on the American version was Ryan Stiles playing a foal being born as a party guest.

Not a fan of Whose Line but this? This was fucking funny.

Choke a bitch: yes! Also on the s2 DVDs, when Charlie Murphy is telling this shaggy-dog story and the boxer shows up at Eddie's House...

eta: why did I capitalize house?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

British Whose Line, worst thing to say on meeting the Queen, Stephen Fry: "Oh, that reminds me, I must buy a stamp".

There was also one episode where they played the Question Game, and he kept asking questions in Latin.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

The Prince playing basketball Charlie Murphy story cracks me up every time I see it.
