some jokes only get better and better as
the run time goes on welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’re counting
down our picks for the top ten hilarious
running gags in movies Hoffman
yeah call the Patent Office copyright
the name Green Goblin I want a corner
every time somebody says for this list
we are considering running gags and
jokes in movies as those that are
referenced or used three or more times
either in an individual movie or across
a film series we arrive in four vehicles
I think we should split it up in four
quarters anything less is only a
callback and as always the funnier the
better back or something no super young
were you helped forward number 10 the
ice fishing story American hustle Lisa
go ice fishing every november louis c.k
is probably best recognized for his
storage stand-ups
but this is one little story that is
completely blown out of the water by
Bradley Cooper’s character in this crime
comedy-drama ice fishing that’s all
anybody that’s what we live for it
beginning as a simple pep talk cooper
takes the reins more than once to try to
guess the obvious ending but the twist
is he will never find out when you’re my
brother says let’s go in October he
wants to go ice fishing in October my
dad says no the ice is too thin
throughout the film he is boredom about
the story turns into mild interest that
ultimately leads to raging obsession but
what is by far the cherry on the top of
this hilarious gag is the subtle annoyed
look that louis c.k gets whenever he’s
interrupted my brother says I loved my
brother he’s I understand what you say
your brother went on the ice the ice was
too thin he fell through the ice we’re
in the water cuz he was too eager and
you’re saying I’m too eager that’s are
you saying no that’s not what I’m saying
poor guy he usually deals with hecklers
better than this way to tell me arrested
ice fishing story where was I he finally
woke you up as a blizzard it was Lincoln
over come on come on number nine
splitting the money it’s a mad mad mad
mad world we arrived in four vehicles I
think we should split it up in four
quarters greed is a powerful tool in the
comedy genre especially when it’s paired
with miscommunication now we give shares
to everybody and for everything now
there were eight there are eight of us
now that’s eight years for that then
there were four vehicles after
discovering 350,000 dollars is up for
grabs in the Santa Rosita State Park a
group of people makes a pact to hunt
down the prize I got one share for being
one person one share for going down the
hill one share for the truck and one
share for being a person in the truck if
only they could just come to an
agreement on which way they’re splitting
the goods they want every man for
himself the bickering and blindsiding
are felt across all cuts of the film
including the 210 minute original cut we
all know that we’re all here and we all
know that even if somebody finds the
money nobody’s gonna get away with it
unless everybody gets a share so why
don’t we all get sensible and get this
thing wrong and I and while the epic
comedy is filled with many gags this one
about splitting the money is the longest
running across the film it’s the only
way to do it
chance for everybody number 8 they look
too old the Jump Street franchise you
are here simply because you look young
in a movie about police detectives going
undercover as younger students this is
the joke that has the most ground to
stand on across both 21 and 22 Jump
Street Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum are
constantly at the mercy of their age
looking just a little bit older than
they should for their assignments we
held back or something no you super
young were you help forward their
actions are so ridiculous that they
can’t be anything but immature and yet
nobody can get past the slight wrinkles
on their faces or their amazingly
outdated references it looks like
eighth-grader he’s gonna be fine
needless to say pointing out their aging
failures never gets old I’m just saying
it’s like all fun and games and then you
wake up in bed next to a 40 year old
freshman 19 to 7 you’ll shoot your eye
out a Christmas story I want an official
Red Ryder Cup an action to in showings
well Erin no shooter aya we’ve all been
denied a toy at some point in our lives
but you wouldn’t expect everyone you
meet to have the exact same reason why
you shouldn’t have it there could be no
other explanation after locking eyes
with the perfect Christmas gift
Ralphie makes it his holiday mission to
find any way of making his wish come
true oh no
you’ll shoot your eye out yet his
parents his teacher and even Santa Claus
refused him the air rifle for the same
reason you’re out kid the hilarity of
this running gag comes from the
impossibility of so many people having
the exact same worded opinion and we
can’t help but love it too number six
TLC references the other guy’s some
waterfalls now you seen you don’t want
no scrubs references like a tick who
remembers this 90’s girl group well
Michael Keaton certainly does even if he
doesn’t know it all right well you do us
proud cuz I don’t want no scrubs really
no you’re not aware that’s the TLC song
I have no idea what you’re talking about
in this action comedy the police captain
who ain’t too proud to beg is completely
oblivious to the songs he’s referencing
much to the delight of Will Ferrell and
Mark Wahlberg my ain’t too proud too big
no matter how many times it’s pointed
out to Keaney the truth of his fumbling
never seems to creep up on him doesn’t
even matter each time we find ourselves
laughing out eight waterfalls worth of
Tears watching it all unfold
trustus real quiet you get creeped
scream come on you don’t say creep creep
unless you’re quoting TLC number five
Vietnam
The Big Lebowski I did not watch my
buddy’s die facedown in the muck
man the backstory of Walter Sobchak is
varied and often spoken about by the man
himself but it’s his ventures in Vietnam
that are the most referenced in this
crime comedy look Larry have you ever
heard of Vietnam
you’re entering a world of pain son we
know that this is your homework from
interrogations to bowling he manages to
compare almost every event to his days
in Nam no matter how ridiculous it
sounds okay this is not Nam this is
bowling there are rules even going so
far as to completely go off track in his
eulogy for one of his teammates in Khe
Sanh the Languedoc and he’ll 364 these
young men gave their lives despite his
talk of the vicious war Walter also says
that he once dabbled in pacifism but
just not in Vietnam number four cookies
conquests Best in Show that is correct
sir it’s usually an unwritten rule in
relationships to never mention how many
partners have come before she was very
popular back then she had dozens of
boyfriends hundreds hundreds sadly for
Gerry Fleck
his wife’s previous lovers all make
themselves known and I’ve had a lot of
waitresses in my debut in this
improvisational comedy we follow a
mismatched middle-class couple on the
move from Florida and on their journey
the stunningly attractive cookie Fleck
ends up reuniting with many many many
former conquests from her youth cookie
googleman yeah does this ring a bell I’m
not wearing underwear
Jerry’s dismay and polite rage are just
as funny to watch as they are sorrowful
but at least he takes it all fairly well
that is the one and only time I’ve ever
done it on a roller coaster number three
inconceivable The Princess Bride as I
told you it would be absolutely totally
and in all other ways inconceivable
according to dictionary.com the
definition of inconceivable is something
unimaginable or unthinkable but if you
ignore that
then the word can make for one heck of a
running gag and there’s gaming of us
inconceivable that’s exactly what
happens in this romantic comedy fantasy
despite having no frame of reference for
what the word means
but Seanie has an insatiable habit for
describing every situation as
inconceivable
conceivable use in the Horde confusing
its definition with impossible it
doesn’t matter what terrible endeavor
our heroes are in because well
everything is inconceivable
inconceivable number two it was all a
dream the Back to the Future franchise
Jared Reneau shelf it’s all a dream just
a very intense dream the teenage time
traveler of this comedic sci-fi series
never had the best time with fourth
dimensional thinking or even
distinguishing between dreams and
reality dream every time Marty McFly is
knocked out he awakens in a bed
convinced the events leading up to this
were nothing but his imagination running
wild waking up next year
great-great-grandmother isn’t as crazy
as it sounds especially considering that
you’ve already changed history multiple
times horrible nightmare him down dream
nose in a Western dreaming about getting
stuck in 1955 is certainly better than
constantly having manure report on to
you right Biff before we unveil our
number one pick here are a few honorable
mentions I don’t know I have a bad
feeling about this
yeah
I don’t know what I’m doing here let me
see that hand yeah I thought I
recognized that man yeah the way we see
it’s all for the greater good the
greater good
well fascist maybe but the laws the law
I don’t have to go number one
Stan Lee cameos various son dad cameos
are nothing new to the world of
filmmaking but the creator of many
beloved Marvel characters never fails to
make an impression in every single film
adaptation he’s appeared in imitation
sir Stan Lee from the trial of the
Incredible Hulk TV movie in 1989 – big
hero 6 in 2014 and beyond
Stan Lee has made so many cameo
appearances that watch mojos even got a
top 10 list of them
I wear them front I wear them back I go
inside-out then I go back and it’s a
testament to the over 90 year old
creator of Marvel Comics that watching
out for him has grown from being a sweet
tribute to something that’s anticipated
worldwide at least by comic book fans
and we reckon it’s alright Lee deserved
great
