Top 10 Funniest Movie Quotes of the 1970s


excuse me while I whip this out these
lines still kill us even decades later
hey fellas you got something small on
that I just started welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’re counting
down our picks for the top 10 funniest
movie quotes of the 1970s I was clearly
should be a great seller in California
for this list we’re taking a look at the
most hilarious quotes from 70s movies
that have had the most staying power let
me show you a clip from my latest film
where my faulty depth perception kept me
from yelling cut at the proper time
these jokes must be funny without
context and not simply because of a
visual gag or excellent delivery and
they do not have to be featured in
comedy movies
this is part of a series of video
spanning the decades number ten fat
drunken stupid animal house well they’re
not posted yet sir
I’ve seen the stuck-up Orthodox Dean is
a common figure in college comedies and
Dean Vernon warmer of Animal House just
might be the funniest example of this
archetype mr. Kruger two C’s two DS and
an F though it could have been a really
bland role the screenwriters actually
give warmer some great dialogue
especially when he informs the Delta Tau
Chi gang of their abysmal grade point
averages it’s a 1.2 grade average
congratulations Kroger you’re at the top
of the Delta pledge class
the standout is when he comes to mr.
Dorfman and gives him some valuable if
not insulting advice it’s no way to go
through life but it does make for
hilarious comedy mr. Dorfman hello 0.2
fat drunk and stupid is no way to go
through life sir
number 9 where the white women at
Blazing Saddles gotta get in that
clothes and find out what’s happening
this is a line that’s been repeated
countless times in our culture and we
can thank Blazing Saddles for launching
this phrase into mainstream popularity
there’s our ticket as for the setup
behind the line it’s a bit like
something out of a Looney Tunes cartoon
with Jim trying to grab the attention of
a couple of KKK members he naturally
gets their racist blood boiling upon
whipping out the African American fart
who delivers this age-old question hey
boys look what I got here
hey where two white women at it sounds
so wrong but your funny bone tells you
it’s so right pretty I like that number
eight there’s a person named Eunice
what’s up doc Rene is not Steve
it is Howard Bannister now that I’ve
told you that I just wish you forget you
never heard it speaking of Looney Tunes
Barbra Streisand’s Judy and what’s up
doc is like the human incarnation of
Bugs Bunny always with something witty
to say why’d you follow me into the
drugstore I didn’t follow you into the
drugstore I had a headache still have it
no just as trouble habitually follows
Judy everywhere she begins to follow
around the neurotic howard also known as
steve I like Steve better anyway
obviously you’ve mistaken me for someone
else now just go away and leave me alone
as hard as Howard slash Steve tries he
can’t shake Judy this is only made more
complicated by the fact that he has a
domineering fiancee whose name throws
Judy for a loop well anybody who names
their daughter Eunice is basically
setting her up to be a bossy pants
Howard see Howard I said five minutes
I’m sorry unis unis that’s a person name
used number seven empty experience love
and death oh I mean I love you but I’m
not in love with you while Woody Allen
has been writing ingenious dialogue for
several decades the 70s arguably
produced his finest body of comedic
films so you two even know what love
means there are many different kinds of
love Boris Allen’s Boris delivers
countless witty retorts throughout love
and death particularly one concerning
the village idiot hey Virg insky he was
from my village
he was the village idiot yeah what’d you
do place
Boris is most well constructed line
however arises from a conversation with
Diane Keaton Sonja about sex without
love there’s love between a man and a
woman love between a mother and a son to
women let’s not forget my favorite it
might be an empty experience but Boris
pretty much sums up the philosophy of
every man with his hysterical response
it’s a line that not only makes you
laugh but also makes you think sex
without love is an empty experience yes
but as empty experiences go it’s one of
the best number six for $1 the jerk
when a carny tries to guess a person’s
weight their approximation can be very
embarrassing for the participant and
very funny for all those in the crowd
you can walk your cheeks you can stick
out your chest but you’re not going to
pull together the socially inept Navin R
Johnson takes this guessing game to a
new level of awkwardness in the jerk he
not only offers to estimate anyone’s
weight and height but their gender –
that may actually be easier said than
done with this being a carnival and all
while we would gladly pay $1 to hear
n’avons response this clearly isn’t his
special purpose wait a minute what’s
happening to my special purpose
number five rub the dirty parts bananas
I love you Oh say it in French Oh please
say it in French I don’t know French oh
please please what about Hebrew while
Woody Allen is often credited as one of
our most talented and distinguished
comedy writers a number of his funniest
lines ironically boiled down to dirty
sex jokes I was always very shy when it
came to girls this gem of a line from
bananas is a prime example as Allen’s
fielding Mellish reminisces about a
pornographic book printed in Braille
however when I was a little boy I I went
to stole a pornographic book that was
printed in Braille you wouldn’t think a
Braille book could ever be as effective
as the conventional sort but Mellish
offers insight on how the blind get off
to be fair it does sound much more
intimate is to rub the dirty parts
number four and with the bags Young
Frankenstein oh but I assist dr.
Frankenstein ends in laboratory this
scene from Mel Brooks 1974 comedy
classic finds dr. Frankenstein though
sorry dr. Frankenstein in an awkward
position as his fiancee visits after he
has coitus with his assistant we have
intellectual discussions on V as a
matter of fact we were just having fun
as you were driving but I being stuck in
the middle of a love triangle has only
made more awkward when I Gore enters the
mix asking his hunchbacked servant to
help with the bags i Gore misinterprets
the request as an invitation to take
advantage of one of the ladies I go
would you give me a hand with the bags
certainly
you take the blonde and I’ll take them
on in Italian I Gore’s not her type but
it turns out that she does have a thing
for monsters stop that I’m talking about
the luggage yes master
ladies this way number three don’t knock
masturbation Annie Hall the old lady at
the end of the table is it classic
jew-hater lovers come and go but
masturbation is forever
Alvy Singer is more interested in
satisfying himself than his girlfriend
Annie Hall of course that seems to be a
case with a lot of guys since these two
are having an on-again off-again
relationship Alvey finds himself
sleeping alone much of the time what’s
the difference it’s all mental
masturbation well now we’re finally
getting to subject you know something
about even when he and Annie are going
through a rough patch however Alvey
takes comfort in the fact that he can
always spend time in the company of
someone he loves hey don’t knock
masturbation it’s sex with someone I
love
masturbation yet another highly
fulfilling empty experienced sex with
you is really a Kafkaesque experience
thank you I mean that is a concrete
number two you know morons Blazing
Saddles what did you expect welcome
Sonny make yourself at home
Blazing Saddles is full of so many
quotable lines that it couldn’t be
limited to just one entry on this list
marry my daughter you got to remember
that these are just simple farmers while
the film takes a lot of edgy shots at
african-americans it takes just as many
at racists upon having the n-word
spouted at him
Bart naturally feels down in the dumps
these are people of the land the common
clay of the new West Jim attempts to put
a smile on the sheriff’s face reminding
him that these are just simple people of
the new West or something even more
blunt that hilariously epitomizes
bigotry in a nutshell you know whoa
before we crack up at our top pick here
are some honorable mentions ah a bear in
his natural habitat
a Studebaker this isn’t a hospital cited
item your vote
hey Yankees you can take your apology Oh
your trophy and shove it up your ass
hello number one your mother was a
hamster Monty Python and the Holy Grail
hello I know it was tempting to
recognize a certain line from Life of
Brian here oh he’s not the Messiah he’s
a very naughty boy
now go away but we simply had to give
this spot to the taunting French guard
from Monty Python and the Holy Grail you
are English
types it well what are you then I’m
French what do you think I have this
outrageous accent you silly King we’ve
heard some bizarre insults in our time
but only the comedic geniuses of Monty
Python would ever think to compare
someone’s mother to a hamster and insult
their fathers elderberry stench I taught
in your dinner direction your mother was
a hamster and your father’s mate of
elderberry it’s hard to explain just why
this line makes people die with laughter
every time but we can’t help but
constantly quote it is there someone
else up there we could talk to and no
now go away or I shall taunt you a
second timer do you agree with our list
