sold for officer Schmidt both of these
individuals are one in the same one of
us got laid last night Schmidt Shh

weekend Schmidt makes the alarming
discovery that he’s been sleeping with
his foul-mouthed captain’s daughter dad
this is Doug a guy that I’m dating since
they’re working an undercover assignment
neither is able to address the elephant
in the room the silence only makes
matters more uncomfortable however I am
spring bass I want some elbow ax I like
fruit as the captain takes his rage out
on the buffet and later taser Schmidt
back in the office I got some way better
number nine meet the grandparents back
to the future
well Mari I hope you like me here’s a
complicated
not to mention awkward setup now we go
watch jackie gleason while we after
arriving in 1955 Marty McFly finds
himself at a dinner table with his
mother’s younger self and his
grandparents first television said dad
just picked it up today
Marty walks on eggshells throughout the
whole meal doing his best not to divulge
that he’s a relative from the future
yeah why do you look so familiar to me
do I know your mother yeah I think maybe
you do the Baines family can tell that
there’s something amiss with this life
preserver wearing boy though who
possesses forthcoming knowledge of
honeymooners reruns and John F Kennedy
that’s right past April that side shot
of Kennedy Drive who the hell is John F
Kennedy Marty’s only made more jumpy
when his googly eyed mom gets a little
too close for comfort and he can sleep
in my room
I can go thanks very much it was
wonderful you were all great number
eight mrs. Coleman comes to dinner The
Birdcage something very odd is going on
afraid of upsetting her
ultra-conservative parents Barbara
steers away from telling them that their
future in-laws are a gay nightclub owner
a drag queen and are both Jewish on top
of that I woke up feeling so good huh
now all of a sudden I feel so funny this
little white lie spirals out of control
as the families come together for dinner
and to everyone’s surprise nathan lanes
albert dons a fancy getup to play the
role of mother goldman or if we mean
coleman Here I am what ensues is a
farcical night of discussing
controversial politics as if anyone Jews
Muslims whatever would mind if their
children prayed in the classroom eating
out of some graphic dinner bowls and of
course the inevitable outing my father
owns a nightclub downstairs my mother is
the star what number seven
holy shirts and pants wedding crashers
after crashing the wedding John and
Jeremy decide to extend their
non-existent invitations by crashing the
Cleary family’s compound so that five
times fast
while the weekend is full of awkward
moments nothing quite tops this
uproarious dinner scene and then of
course you can challenge the Klingons
for interstellar domination right the
jokes fly by a mile a minute
as grandma spouts homophobic slurs big
Ike hmm huge Dyke I will round the
muncher the jerky boyfriend suffer
stomach issues and Isla Fisher’s Gloria
makes unwanted sexual advances toward
Jeremy haha he’s joking around
who feels so good when he jokes all the
while the guys try to keep up the ruse
that their venture capitalists investing
in companies that are ethically and
morally defensible amazingly Christopher
Walken is the least awkward person at
the table it’s great number six Easter
dinner Annie Hall like most of Woody
Allen’s characters Alvy Singer makes no
secret of his Jewish heritage the only
lady at the end of the table is a
classic Jew hater
so Alvie naturally feels like a Jew
among Germans when he sits down with
Annie Hall and her folks to an Easter
dinner pretty soon when I lie down on
his couch I won’t have to wait a lobster
bib although nobody says it everyone
sees the irony of a Jewish man eating
ham and dining with Christians on the
anniversary of Jesus’s resurrection
granny always says such a good job a
great sauce it is it’s dynamite him
Alvie can only imagine how unbearable it
would be for any tight-lipped parents to
meet his the two are like oil and water
rise dad only just business he’s white
has diabetes all that’s missing from
this awkward evening is a monologue from
Christopher Walken I see two headlights
coming toward me fast I have this sudden
impulse to turn the wheel quickly
head-on into the oncoming car number
five Frank and beans
there’s something about Mary Wow talking
with your own parents about bathroom
accidents can be embarrassing having
such a conversation with your prom dates
parents is a nightmare is it – Franco –
ganes head reaches the pinnacle of
humiliation in this immortal scene from
their Something About Mary when his
private parts become intertwined with
his zipper
take a look at what this numbnuts did to
add insult to this very painful injury
Mary’s mom and dad come in to
investigate the hell’s going on here
neighbors said they heard a lady scream
petrified they asked Ted what they’re
looking at in the most dignified way
possible
the one person who doesn’t get to see
Ted’s Frank and beans that night is Mary
a one and two and uh
we got a bleeder number four Angie’s
parents Pineapple Express
you guys can wait as long as you want
but one minute from right now I’m gonna
I’m gonna eat some food no parent in
their right mind would approve of Dale
Denton dating their teenage daughter
this is the dinner you invited me to
that was tonight not only he’s he’s
several years older than his girlfriend
Angie he also spends most of his time
smoking pineapple Express with his
dealer salt hmm yeah

grave when he arrives late to dinner
with Angie’s family as a drug lords
lethal henchman pursue him you’re all
dirty and bleeding no I’m not I’m here
for dinner
you have scratches on your forehead the
meeting only becomes more hostile when
Saul shows up and is mistaken for one of
the bad guys yeesh what a buzzkill
number three pipe hidden bitches
anchorman 2 the legend continues is
delicious Ron Burgundy breaking bread
with african-americans what could
possibly go wrong everything for
starters although his girlfriend’s
family doesn’t seem to mind that Ron is
white the anchorman feels that he needs
to tear down the racial barriers anyway
I’m addressing the white elephant in the
room I’m breaking down the barriers of
race by assimilation he begins telling
Linda’s mother in great detail how he’s
given it to her daughter let’s put it
this way I’d be busting nuts like a
squirrel
he follows that up by casually talking
giant dropping some incredibly vulgar
words and asking for gravy like they
would on the street which one of you
pipe hittin bitches can pass me
in Ron’s oblivious mind the night was
still a complete success however well I
don’t think that dinner could have gone
any better
number two dorm room surprise American
Pie 2 seems like just yesterday my dad
picked me up after my first year at
college American Pie 2 starts off on a
high note for Jim as the college
freshman has relations with a girl on
his tiny dorm room bed like this Jim’s
five seconds of bliss come to an abrupt
halt however when his dad pops in for a
surprise instead of leaving immediately
Jim’s father feels that he needs to chat
with the kids about human nature it’s
just human nature human nature at its
best Jim’s mom soon joins the
embarrassing conversation dropping her
son’s favorite pie in the process oh no

already ruin the mood the girl’s parents

everybody in the kitchen fighting over
containers of Chinese food as the title

humiliating meeting of the parents Greg

Greg’s Jewish too Greg instantly gets
off on the wrong foot with mr. and mrs.
burns as he clarifies the pronunciation
of his last name Gaylord M Focker but
get together escalates to the apex of
awkwardness as Greg is caught in a lie
at dinner and attempts to salvage his
character by explaining the process of

quotes ever pen how could this not take
