So I'm watching Napoleon dynamite and am starting to remember how funny it is! And how when it first came out everyone around here was obsessed. Vote for Pedro shirts, Napoleon for Halloween and boondoggle. Was this obsession only a Utah thing? Or everywhere? Not sure if we were just obsessed cause it was made by Mormons. I don't know but I can't stop laughing!
Give me some of your tots!

No, it was totally everywhere. I'm from St Louis and people were stupid obsessed too.

Definitely everywhere! Probably one of the most quoteable movies ever. To this day I always say building a cake, not baking one.

It was everywhere. I still say ,"I want that," like the lady buying Tupperware all the time.

I'm still obsessed! I always say "building a cake," "I want that," "don't hurt yourself now" and "your mom goes to college" lol.

I didn't get it...no matter how hard I try, I just can't understand the humor. however, I don't like Monty Python, either, so maybe it's just that type of comedy.

@anonysquire: I *puffyheartwithglitter* Napoleon Dynamite! I love the *Lyger*, DH and I talk about Kip and La-Fawn-duh EVERY TIME we pass a restaurant named La Fonda (okay, it's really me . . ), Num-Chuck skillz, Frickin Idiot!

@katiew92081: OMG - The Holy Grail! "'Tis merely a flesh wound! . . . But it's got fangs! . . . Run away! Run away! . . ." Classic!

I'm guilty of STILL quoting this movie. "Your mom went to college" is my comeback frequently.

@MsLipGloss: I know! Apparently they are supposed hilarious movies. but, I don't get The Office, either, so maybe it's all along the same lines? I try, I really do.
My humor preference leans towards Family Guy type shows, though, so maybe it's just a humor style?

@katiew92081: Family Guy! My favorite episode is the 80s flashback episode . . . "and then another eh-eh-eh-eh-eh . . ." when they are dancing to the Miami Vice theme song! 
FWIW, it took a couple of viewings for Monty Python to grow on me . . . sort of like Super Troopers . . . "Dooo eeeeet!"

TINA, eat the food!
My lips hurt real BAD!
Wolverine hunting skills.
True story: I won a radio show contest by doing my best ND impression.

@MsLipGloss: DH and I are constantly quoting FG, even when not appropriate. When DS does something typically 5 year oldish, we say, "that's our shirt pants!" even though it's totally out of context, lol

@katiew92081: $150 gift card to a party store and the movie on DVD. Terrible prize lol
GOLD / pineapple / 12662 posts
@.twist.: LOL!
@katiew92081: I do this with South Park . . . I constantly use "Phase 1 - underpants, Phase 3 - profits!" "Respect my Authori-TIE" and "Screw you guys, I'm goin home" . . . omg I could keep going. I am totally an 8 year old boy sometimes!

@littlebittyhouse: Party store like a liquor store? Or party store like ballons? Around here I end up at ABC stores when googling for party decorations, lol.

@MsLipGloss: re: Southpark...my brother's name is Tim. Yep, he hears it ALL the time, including from me.

Omg I LOVE NAPOLEON DYNAMITE. Forealz.
I had a blue shirt with a llama on it that said "Tina you fat lard!" Haha DH doesn't really get it but he laughed through it.
Seriously the most quotable movie ever.
"I think you rippled my mole off!"

@katiew92081: British humor does have to grow on you. lol. It's definitely very dry.
@MsLipGloss: Oh. my. freakin. god. Super Troopers cracks my shit up.

This is great timing. I just told my husband how much I do not like this movie!

I never really got into Napoleon Dynamite (aside from his pencil sketch he did...that cracked me up), but I LOVE me some Monty Python...any and all Monty Python.

Pretty sure I'm one of the few people on the planet who hated that movie. My friends were all about it but I never got the appeal.
