we dare you not to chuckle at any of
these lines what’s happen mine Fiji I’m
really into penicillin hahaha welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’re counting
down our picks for the top 10 funniest
movie quotes of the 1980s and our boy
Underpants for 10 minutes for this list
we’re taking a look at the most
hilarious quotes from 80s movies that
have had the most staying power these
jokes must be funny out of context and
not simply because of a visual gag or
excellent delivery and they do not
actually have to be featured in comedy
movies thank you very little this is
part of a series of videos spanning the
decades so at last we meet for the first
time for the last time number 10 I’m a
MOG Spaceballs what do you want it’s me
it’s us we all know dogs are man’s best
friend but what do you get when you
cross a dog with a man a mug of course
hi how are you yeah while it’s never
made clear whether mugs are aliens
hybrid experiments or simply the product
of Spacey bestiality barfs genetic
background allows him to be his own best
friend as he proudly explains in
Spaceballs a movie that’s populated with
more than its fair share of visual and
verbal gags how are you I’m a MOG
half-man half-dog I’m my own best friend
this also means that he can walk himself
feed himself and clean up his own messes
which he likely has to do often with a
name like barf all of you who are you
I’m the best man what’s your name
barf your full name Bartholomew number 9
did a bus park on your face Roxanne
going big nose in Roxanne Steve Martin
plays Charlie bails a man with a nose so
bulging that it it makes Cyrano de
Bergerac cock pardon me you heard me
big nose where some people might view as
honker as a disadvantage charlie totally
owns his disfigurement like a boss what
a waste of an opportunity what well I
mean you’ve got someone standing in
front of you what this and all you can
think up is big nose in this instance in
particular exemplifies Charlie
self-assurance and Martin’s knack for
one-liners I suppose you could think of
something better yeah I think I could
think up something better rather than
allowing a hecklers insult to damage his
confidence charlie rips him a new one he
accomplishes this by not only making fun
of his adversary via a harangue of
zingers but also by finding the humor in
his own imperfections excuse me is that
your nose or did a bus park on your face
number eight
last time I was inside a woman crimes
and misdemeanors comedy is tragedy plus
time Woody Allen is undeniably one of
the wittiest dialogue writers that ever
lived often deriving inspiration from
his loving relationship with New York
and his love-hate relationship with the
opposite sex I mean if you want a happy
ending you should go see a Hollywood
movie in crimes and misdemeanors
allons cliff Stern sums up the sorrow of
any New Yorker who just can’t find a
date to know what you do
you told me it’s been platonic for a
year and I say once the sex goes it all
goes every screen writer in the world
wishes they could come up with a line
this smart sharp and side-splitting
that’s one of the reasons why Alan is a
true figure of inspiration kind of like
the Statue of Liberty first time I was
inside a woman’s when I visited the
Statue of Liberty number seven we’re all
gonna get laid
Caddyshack gentlemen please what’s going
on to Rodney Dangerfield one liners were
like a bottomless bucket of golf balls
and he could hit every one of them out
of the driving range oh this your wife
Oh a lovely lady
hey baby all right you must have been
something before electricity this
particular line from Caddyshack is a
definite hole-in-one to cap off a
perfect round Dangerfield’s classic
quote can apply to any sport whether
somebody’s putting on the green trying
to make a basket or shooting one through
the five hole hey moose
Rocco help the judge find his checkbook
we’re Oh shuffle la I you up if you’re
an athletic sort chances are you’re
bound to hear this line at least once in
your life and if you’re really lucky it
might even come true hey everybody we’re
all gonna get laid number six nice
beaver The Naked Gun from the files of
police squad
I’m lieutenant Frank Drebin police squad
and don’t ever let me catch you guys in
America on paper most of the dialogue in
the naked gun sounds immature silly or
just plain dumb and it does on screen
two Cuban I know Gaucho Irish my father
was from Wales but that doesn’t mean it
isn’t also clever well-timed
and hysterical
three
this line epitomizes the franchise’s
ability to be idiotic ly ingenious as
Frank compliments Jane on her nice
beaver jeans implied furry Cave of
Wonders however turns out to be a
literal beaver that’s just been stuffed
which is a double dose of double
entendre he was giving me a look I could
feel in my hip pocket
yeah this was starting to get
interesting
it may be stupid but Stephen Hawking
himself couldn’t write a smarter joke
nice beaver thank you I just had it
stuffed let me help you with that
number five in dire need of a blow job
good morning Vietnam I don’t like your
style your politics or your sense of
humor like Rodney Dangerfield Robin
Williams was an unmatched comedic force
that spouted out brilliant one-liners
like they were his first language from
now on the fighting men of Vietnam will
hear exactly what they’re supposed to
hear you’re on a dc-8 from Tan Son Nhut
Airport tomorrow at 1830 hours
this made Williams the ideal candidate
to play Adrian Cronauer a DJ in Vietnam
who isn’t afraid to say whatever pops
into his head I recommend you pack
quietly his most applause worthy line
and good morning Vietnam has got to be
when he tells off sergeant major
dickerson who lives up to his family
name Dickerson may not find Cronauer
funny but he’s the only one you know
you’re in more dire need of a blow job
than any white man in history number
four haven’t been in a year Scarface you
are I forgot
she might be on fire but Elvira Hancock
could use a good well at least that’s
what Tony Montana says in Scarface so I
have enough subscribers I don’t need
another
– and with the body legs and face of
Michelle Pfeiffer
Elvira could get any man she wants Tony
can tell from her uninterested
expression though that Elvira is not
using her assets to her full advantage
Holloman she got a wrong guy you don’t
come off from inaudible okay so a word
of advice to all the ladies if a guy
tries to pick you up with this piggish
yet hilarious line blow him off
immediately and definitely don’t become
his trophy wife
we’re four body beautiful legs beautiful
place Mahalo sky sinhala dueling
probably got a look in your eye like you
having me
here here number three lump of coal up
his ass Ferris Bueller’s Day Off hello
Cameron babe what’s happening
very little few filmmakers wrote
fourth-wall breaking dialogue better
than John Hughes whenever one of his
characters turned to the camera you
always knew they were about to say
something immortal if anybody needs a
day off its Cameron he has a lot of
things to sort out before he graduates
among all of his iconic characters
Ferris Bueller is easily the king of
cool the king of fourth wall breaks and
the king of sausages always in fine form
Faris’s finest break has got to be this
Dimond of a line an invaluable
description of his neurotic friend
Cameron pardon my french but Cameron is
so tight that if you stuck a lump of
coal up his ass in two weeks you have a
diamond Hey
if this is true Cameron should be able
to pay off the damage to his dad’s
Ferrari in no time hey remember how
insane he went when I broke my retainer
huh
come on that was a little piece of
plastic this is a Ferrari number two
memorable afternoon Arthur my name is
Arthur and this is mr. Hobson in a
performance that earned him an Academy
Award John Gielgud plays Hobson –
sardonic perfection aside from a few
standout sincere moments when he gives
his master Arthur some fatherly advice
everything that comes out of this
English butler’s mouth is irony glazed
sarcasm I’m gonna take a path and alert
the media perhaps his most droll a
shrewd line in this 1981 comedy is
directed towards Liza Minelli’s Linda my
name is Linda
and uh like thank you very much he did a
nice thing he may size her up as a
bowling alley bunny
but Hopson also realizes Linda is just
what Arthur needs so take it as a
compliment
laughter we really must be going thank
you for a memorable afternoon usually
one must go to a bowling alley to meet a
woman of your stature
before we crack up at our top pick here
are some honorable mentions
you’re a true Vulgarian aren’t you
you’re the Bulgarian you do boo tell me
so what’s the charge
possession of a concealed weapon
disturbing the peace disturbing the
peace I got thrown out of a window
what’s the charge we get pushed out of a
movie uh-huh jaywalking the Royal penis
is clean your highness yeah three weeks
we’ve been talking about the Platt
Amendment what are you people on dope
human sacrifice dogs and cats living
together mass hysteria enough I get the
point
number one don’t call me Shirley
airplane and you’re a member of this
crew can you face some unpleasant facts
no touching down on runway number one is
another priceless 80s line from Leslie
Nielsen Captain Awesome can you land I
can’t tell you can tell me I’m a doctor
up until then known as a dramatic actor
Nielsen’s future as a comedic legend was
set in stone with these immortal words
can you fly this plane and land it
surely you can’t be serious I am serious
and don’t call me Shirley while the line
itself will put a smile on anyone’s face
it’s the stone-faced way Nielsen says it
with such solemn gravitas that causes
the Lapo meter to skyrocket off the
charts this plane has four engines it’s
an entirely different kind of flying
altogether it’s an entirely different
kind of fly because it’s delivered just
as straight as it would have been in a
true disaster movie Nielsen’s line is
all the more funny are the passengers
doing I want to save you mr. Stryker
we’re running out of time surely there
must be something you can do I’m doing
everything I can
stop calling me Shirley do you agree

funniest movie quote of the 80s well I
