Phelous/Funny

"Phelous: "This movie sucks."
 * Phelous's epic Freak Out upon discovering that the killer in Ill Always Know What You Did Last Summer was, as well as a moment during his review of The Midnight Meat Train: the sharply dressed killer stands up, straightens his tie and gets on the eponymous subway train. Phelous sets the whole thing to the theme from Get Smart. It fits. Perfectly.
 * Speaking of "Phelous Knows What You Shouldn't Have Watched Last Summer", the start of the review merits a mention:

"

"Phelous: "I think he's deeeeeead.""
 * Another moment- this from the The Ruins review, when the corpse of Mathias' brother is found.

"Evil Website Woman: *seductively* "Do you want to hurt me?"
 * During his review of Fear Dot Com, he gets progressively more and more confused and infuriated with the evil website's nonsensical actions and statements, until...

Phelous: "Yes! Holy Shit YES!!""

"Phelous:
 * His running gag of calling the in-film website Fear Dot Com Dot Com.
 * Not to mention Dena Natali's part in the end skit. Her performance as the aforementioned Evil Website Woman achieves the right balance of funny and creepy.
 * At the end of Phelous's review of The Deaths of Ian Stone, Phelous gets killed by.



"Kermit: "Why are there so many songs about rainbows? And what's on the other si-"
 * Poking fun of the whole "Someone's rubbing puppets on us!" effects used, there's a scene where Phelous is attacked by a Kermit The Frog plushie in his Hobgoblins review.
 * What really sells this is the song that plays when Kermit is gnawing Phelous' face off.

Phelous: "Cut it out!" (flings Kermit away with a large thud)"

"Sam the Eagle: "You are all weirdos.""
 * When he reviewed Troll 2, he set the infamous Big OMG to Also Sprach Zarathustra.
 * And, as an encore from the first Troll movie:

"Phelous: "Take her away! TAKE HER AWAY! Right now! RIGHT NOW!""
 * The end skit from Troll 3 has toy bulldozers rushing to attack Phelous. The sound and editing are timed perfectly.
 * The robot scene in the other Troll 3, set perfectly in time to a variant of the Team Rocket motto from Pokémon.
 * His take on the abrupt change in camera angle between lines:

"Protagonist: "Shit!"
 * Three words: The Rape Horn.
 * In his Dotcom Murder review:

Computer in film: "Shit not recognised."

Phelous: "I guess that's true of everyone who worked on this movie.""

"Phelous: "No! I'm not using that Space Odyssey clip. It's what they want!""
 * When a computer named Hal denies the protagonist's request's by saying "I can't let you do that," Phelous responds with this cut:

""The only person I blame... is Josh." "YOU SIMPLE-MINDED DILETTANTE!"
 * Playing "The Syncopated Clock" for the whole of the thirty second + shot of Madeline Stowe driving, while counting the seconds, in Pulse 2003.
 * Also deserves a Crowning Moment for the beginning of his Pulse 2006 review, where he combines three of the more prominent ads that played on Blip at the time (Fibre One, Madden NFL 11 - "Put your hands up", and The Pillars of the Earth) by having a skit of "I swear by all the advertisements, I will never care about your fibre."
 * Fourth advert (Yoplait) gets a mention as he walks away, saying he's going to go lose weight by eating yogurt.
 * The interruption by Jew Wario is hilarious. "Play. Play. Play. Play button!"
 * His dubbing-in of Arvin Sloane's dialogue over Ron Rifkin's character:

"I'm not imagining this!""

"Phelous: "I'm purposely downloading viruses off the internet! I'M SUCH A BADASS! Oh, what a rush!""
 * Rifkin gets out of his chair. "A few days ago, I would have done anything to keep you alive. And now, I don't care."
 * His reaction to Boone saying that keeping viruses on your computer is like "keeping nukes in your closet."

"Phelous: "NO! She doesn't get "Take on Me!" She doesn't deserve it.""
 * From Pulse 2: when Michelle starts cleaning up the apartment, "Take on Me" begins to play, but Phelous cuts it off:

"Phelous: "The internet ghost of a record player? The internet ghost of a record player?! THE INTERNET GHOST OF A RECORD PLAYER?!? IT MADE ME DO THE OVERHEAD SPINNING SCREAM THING AGAIN!!""
 * From the review of Pulse 3:
 * After mocking Friend-Meets-World's using the Wii version of Mortal Kombat Armageddon to play against his girlfriend (the Wii version doesn't have online multiplayer), Phelous makes a MK joke and expects Sub-Zero to hit him. Instead, Sub-Zero glitches into Ermac (an extremely nerdy inside joke amongst the Mortal Kombat fanbase).
 * His impersonation of what two people having sex over a webcam looks like: pushing the "insert" key over and over again, yelling "Insert! Insert! INSERT!".
 * The zombie fisherman was nothing compared to Pulse 3:

"Phelous as Angry Nerd: "Shattered Memories? More like shattered asshole! I'd rather play a different game than play this game!"
 * "I GOT A SHOTGUN! Suicide is painless..."
 * Angry Joe showing up as an internet ghost, convincing Phelous to resurrect him with a flash drive, and then repeatedly shooting Phelous once he's resurrected.
 * His spoof on the alternate personalities in Silent Hill Shattered Memories with rapid fire Shout Outs to The Cinema Snob, The Nostalgia Critic, and The Angry Video Game Nerd, as well as a Take That to The Irate Gamer.

Phelous as The Nostalgia Critic: "Hello, Silent Hill shattered my memories! I don't remember it so you don't have to!"

Phelous as The Cinema Snob: "In my expert opinion, Silent Hill: Shattered Memories is a game that came out on the in December 2009."

Phelous as Irate Gamer: "Silent Hill: Shattered Memories is the perfect predecessor to the first Silent Hill game.""

"Phelous: "SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP!""
 * His review of Silent Hill Homecoming ends with him getting attacked by one of the nurses,
 * In his review of Case 39, the demonic child starts asking Renee Zellwegger's character 'Why, Emily?' in regards to not being allowed to go to their therapy sessions any more. When ignored, she asks again...and again...and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again andagainandagainandagainandagainandagain...

"Phelous: "Wait, how can I shoot him through that? It's a flat screen monitor...and that's the only problem I have with that.""
 * "SILENT HILL! SILENT HILL! SILENT HILL! SILENT HILL!..."
 * At the end, he watches the review again and is confused because of his lack of death. His video self then starts laughing demonically and prepares to kill him, just to be shot to death by Phelous with a zapper. After reviving and multiplying several times, he's finally dead, but Phelous sees one more inconsistency...

"Phelous: *crying* "Why won't it leave me aloonneee!'" *clears throat''*"
 * The scene where the girls' father in the asylum snaps and attacks a guy with a fork, set to Homer's epic lapse of sanity from Treehouse of Horror V.
 * His reaction to seeing that the girls demon form looks like one of the internet ghosts from Pulse

""OH, NO! NOT THE BEES-!"
 * The entire death scene of the hornets coming out of the social worker set to (what else?) one of Nicholas Cage's infamous moments in The Wicker Man:

Phelous: *Deadpan* "Hornets."

"NOT THE BEES-!"

Phelous *Deadpan*: "Hornets.""

"Terri Flores (JLo): "That thing must be there for a reason!"
 * When Bradley Cooper's character, Doug, picks up the phone, Phelous edits in "It's time," over the clip.
 * When the demon child yells at Emily in a Narm-filled deep voice, Phelous impersonates her following with "Daboo. Zug zug. They're destroying our city!"
 * The Anaconda review. Yeah, the whole review.
 * One moment that had this editor howling was when the boat encounters a "snake fence".

Sarone: "Yeah, to keep us out."

Terri: "I'm talking about upsetting the ecological balance of this river."

Phelous: "'Cause you see this is a naturally formed fence and just stop talking, Lopez.""

"Phelous: "Oh yeah, and it talks, because THAT'S EVEN MORE REAL!""
 * Stupid Surprised Panther.
 * The ending of the review, where John Voight (Phelous in an Old Man wig) randomly appears, does a hilariously bad impression of "holy rites" (Voight's character is a priest in the movie), and then kills Phelous with Death By Leg Strangulation.
 * In his review of Anacondas: Hunt for the Blood Orchid, the continuous, camera-mugging close ups of Stupid Surprised Monkey, which the camera continuously cuts to every time there's something... well, surprising. And then Phelous totals up the number of times that Stupid Surprised Monkey does his trademark face...
 * The ending of his Anaconda 3: Offspring review, where he brings in the Crappy CGI Annaconda as a guest.

"John Rhys-Davies: "...You will do your job, or the only thing you'll be supervising is a proctologist removing my Ax from your rectum!""
 * The brilliant timing/ splicing of this line uttered by the EVIL corporate boss, played by John Rhys-Davies:

"Phelous: "Oh no, no, no, NO! What am I gonna do now!? *resigned* Looks like I'm gonna be walking.""
 * Anacondas: Trail of Blood: Johnny Cage and four other people are driving through the forest and are stopped by a fallen tree...which five people could certainly move. They decide to abandon their car and walk. Cut immediately to Phelous being stopped in his own car by a twig that's fallen into the road.

"Sub-Zero: *triumphantly* "That one is for the guy up in the sky! (Calmer) That one is for you, Johnny Cage. Wait... is he dead still? I don't remember with him anymore. (To the camera) Anyway, I'm gonna visit Reptile before he turns into shitty CGI...""
 * The Dear Sis gag in the same review.
 * Sub-Zero (after being glitched into Ermac during Phelous' Pulse reviews) comes back to life due to the overload of "FATALITY" jokes Phelous used. Sub-Zero then does a fatality on Phelous when he quotes the song Chinese Ninja Warrior by the Immortals.

"Harry: *staring at a bloody wall where dogs were once chained up* "What the..? What is it?"
 * Phelous's Let's Play of Silent Hill. Phelous knows you're not supposed to insert Resident Evil references into a Silent Hill LP, but sometimes he just can't stop himself...

Phelous: "Blood. Hope it's not Cheryl's blood.""

"Cybil: "Have you got a gun?"
 * And later...

Phelous!Harry: "I got a shotgu- oh, wait, no I don't.""

"Phelous: "Oh no! A butter knife!" *Cuts his own head off with it.* "A ghost made that work somehow, it's not stupid!""
 * He also spends a lot of time calling the Air Screamers names and yelling at them for coming out of nowhere and kicking him in the head and nicknames the Rompers "Humpers" due to their attack animation.
 * The Orgasmic Chainsaw was hilarious, too.
 * When Harry is trying to explain the Otherworld to Cybil, he dubs in "Must be on drugs" after every sentence.
 * When he's in the restroom (I believe that's where he was, anyway), and hears a child crying from offscreen: "SHUT UP!" His tone when he yells it is hilarious.
 * His reaction to the Ceiling Fan kill in Death Row

"Alternate!Phelous: "I NEED A BAD MOVIE TO REVIEW! I'LL KILL YOU! I'LL KILL YOU ALL!""
 * Also, the numerous Titus references.
 * His theory in Dead and Deader that it revolved around "Harbor Patrol" (An actress who played a Harbor Patrol agent in House of the Dead, an AMS Colonel in House of the Dead 2, and a mad scientist in Dead and Deader), in which he suspects the universe diverged when she got resurrected; she'd either be the leader of the heroes in 2 and lose her legs, or keep her legs but be a mad scientist in Dead and Deader. It's brought up at the end of the episode, where Phelous wonders what would've happened if he hadn't chosen to review the bad movies.

"Phelous: "Christmas rape horn?""
 * Uwe Boll's outburst of "Dun dun dun dunnnnn! Curien!" at the end of the House of the Dead: Funny Version made the whole movie almost worth it to Phelous. Almost.
 * And now it seems that it'll be a running gag with him.
 * In the same review, Boll's audio commentary is ridiculously unprofessional. He accepts phone calls and eats snacks while recording. Phelous, of course, wonders whether this was supposed to be 'funny'. Cut to... him belching and eating crisps as an unseen audience laughs at every single move he makes.
 * What really sells this part is how Phelous took some of the most overused comedy clichés (burping and laugh tracks) and actually made them funny.
 * From his Black Christmas review:

"Guy: "There'd be blood... look at all the blood! Someone else did this, it'd track blood all over."
 * Immediately preceding that, him recoiling in horror at the Parental Incest.
 * It's pretty subtle, but he calls a character played by Michelle Trachtenberg Dawn, which was her character on Buffy.
 * The ending of his Thankskilling review, featuring Pester Z. Bum.
 * From Cry Wolf, when the professor (played by ) gets killed by a
 * From Incubus, his reaction to this brilliant line.

Phelous: *stunned* "Don't ever talk again. What the hell was that?""

""Baguette Croissant! Baguette croissant baguette croissant baguette croissant!"
 * Lest we forget the best line of the entire review: " FUCK THIS MOVIE, IT ISN'T ABOUT ANYTHING! "
 * "This is Incubus, (gives a thumbs up) the anti-logic movie!"
 * "All right, Vince, hit him in the head, right between the eyes." *Death Star explodes*
 * From his crossover review of "La Horde" with Sadpanda, Welshy and Chaos D 1... the french subtitles!

"Croissanthole."

"Baguette? I'll Croissant.""

"D1: "GRENADES!!! DON'T!!!! WORK THAT WAY!!!!!""
 * Again, three words:

"Phelous: "It's called The Horde."
 * Followed up with Sadpanda fainting as Welshy springs up, asking "They don't?", with D1 just calmly responding "no" a few seconds after.
 * The beginning of the review, when Phelous announces the name of the movie.

Sadpanda: "No no, you're already wrong, Phelous. It's called La Horde, not 'The Horde'."

D1: "And what does that translate to?"

Sadpanda: "'The Horde'."

Phelous: "I hate you, Panda.""

"Phelous: "Oh well, at least after that she dies."
 * After the group discovers that The Scrappy is the only survivor of the movie:

Sadpanda: "Well, not really. We don't see her get killed an-"

Phelous: "She died."

Sadpanda: "I mean, maybe there will be a sequel-"

Phelous: "She died!"

Sadpanda: "Never mind.""

""BIRDS!!! DON'T!!! WORK THAT WAY!!!""
 * In the Chain Letter review, Luke realises that the two can just talk through the camera like the other reviewers do instead, then he follows up with a very brief Film Conscience.
 * Adding Guile's Theme Goes With Everything to the scene in Quarantine where the cameraman beats a zombie to death with it.
 * From the Birdemic review: "This morning, flocks of seagulls- and I ra-a-an, I ran so far awa-a-ay!"
 * The ending of that review also qualifies. All 4 minute 36 seconds worth of it.
 * His reaction to the scene in which Rod and Nathalie walk on the beach (or more specifically, his reaction to the filmmakers' failure to edit out the sound of the ocean, which drowns out the dialogue): he devolves into a fit of angrish, growling and roaring at the camera; this quickly cuts to a shot of him with a straight face, saying, "The editing is bad."
 * In a call back to La Horde:

"Phelous: "Whoa, Rod, where was all this energy when you were filming??""
 * He claims to interview Rod, the woodenly-acted protagonist of film, only to bring out an actual wooden rod.

"Phelous: "Personally I don't really care about her videos until she does her v-log on Crystal Pepsi.""
 * His review of The Human Centipede has a few of them:
 * An 'advertisement' for 'Lock You Inside Doors': "It's inconvenient!"
 * Around that little sketch, the dramatic musical stings that keep popping up when the doctor says or does something.
 * "DUH-DUH-DUH-DUNNN! You are the Curien piece!"
 * The return of Hide and Seek, complete with what can only be described as a weird, disjointed acoustic version playing behind it.
 * Sad Panda playing an acoustic rendition of the infamous Troll 2 "OH MY GODDDD!" line in place of the usual Channel Awesome jingle.
 * In Swamp Zombies, Phelous does a great impersonation of Mr. Mackey from South Park.
 * The title image for Automaton Transfusion says "One of the films in decades." This troper literally laughed out loud.
 * Watching "New Phelous" attempt to read/pronounce "The Magic of Scheherazade"
 * "And now, let's review 'The Magic of Ooh-Sha-Her-Zid-Zad-Doo'... 'Ooh-sha-hair-raz-add-doo'... 'Ooh-sha-rizza-had-sah-doo'... 'Jah-rer-rer-rer-rer-zad'... 'J-j-jeh-her-eh-zir-rad-der'... 'Ooh-ja-ja-her-ah-zer-aid'... Ok, this font is stupid."
 * Followed by Phelous D1 scolding him for "...making fun of my favorite game, The Magic of... ...My favorite game!"
 * In yet another Take That, New Phelous reviews Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Arcade Game exactly like The Irate Gamer did.
 * His Shout Out to The Cinema Snob from Resident Evil Afterlife:

"Phelous: "And wait a second. Is the boogeyman...""
 * The video also opens by parodying the bad voice acting and somewhat obtuse puzzles from the older Resident Evil games.
 * Phelous overloading the footage of Drive Thru with references to other movies, including Birdemic, Ghostbusters 2, and IT.
 * From the review of Boogeyman, Phelous is describing how the monster is actually kind of a letdown, but then a horrible realization hits him...

"Annie: "I finally won the battle over evil. The man with no face is gone. Now I must try on my stokings, to prove to myself one last time that I am free."
 * Boogeyman 2. Phelous discovers that the hospital director is played by Tobin Bell. Cue the Saw dialogue every time he talks!
 * Boogeyman 3 featured Erin Cahill as the lead role. When the cards are down and she is the only one left, Phelous says that there's only one thing she can do; morph into the Pink Ranger.
 * Phelous clearly is on a roll once he starts reviewing Ulli Lommel's godawful original The Boogeyman series. His trademark use of meta-humour really serves him well here, since Lommel just kept splicing footage from the first movie together with new scenes, then called it a sequel. Particular highlights include:
 * The Boogeyman: A little boy, after sticking his head through a window and shouting "BOOGEYMAN!", gets killed pathetically when the window half-heartedly closes on his neck. According to Phelous, that death scene almost made up for everything else. Almost.
 * Boogeyman II: Phelous' sister, Kyna, has a cameo in the end skit. The ensuing deaths... really must be seen to be believed. They involve a car exhaust pipe... okay... and a toothbrush!
 * Return of the Boogeyman. Too many to mention, but here's one of the best:

Phelous: "But now she's become the woman with no legs! Y'know what, that actually made too much sense for this movie.""

"Phelous: "Hello, Phil? Philip? Are you there?"
 * He gets increasingly frustrated at the lack of continuity between movies... they even got the main character's name wrong! This culminates in his fake Retcon of the first Boogeyman review:

Past!Phelous: "Philip?"

Phelous: "Yeah, that's your name now.""

"Chaos D 1: "SUNSETS!!! DON'T!!! WORK THAT WAY!!! No, seriously, uh, Phelan, you and Welshy gotta stop trying to shoehorn in that catchphrase for me to say. It's fuckin' stupid.""
 * The Big Crocodile Scene Happening in the Cabin Fever review.
 * Pick any scene in the Meow Mix review. Anything is hilarious when it comes from a fluffy kitty.
 * This brief callback:

"Film Brain: "She died as she lived, impaled by a long, smooth shaft.""
 * Playing "Gonna Fly Now" over a preparation montage in A Serbian Film.
 * Putting Danny Elfman's Batman theme and the 1960's Batman TV series to awesomely comedic use during his Jeepers Creepers II review.
 * Making up lyrics to the musical theme for Triangle
 * His video of watching the Smallville series finale and being horrified to see that
 * Also, his constant laughter and screaming throughout the finale.
 * The cameos celebrating Paris Hilton's death in House of Wax, followed by Doug Walker appearing and being sickened by their celebration of death.
 * Also Doug getting angry at Phelous for reviewing Mac and Me, and whispering that he's not actually mad because he never wanted to review it.
 * Film Brain had the best line about Paris' death.

"Oancitizen: "I welcome the deaths of other human beings that I don't know!"
 * Some runners-up:

Sad Panda Q and A: "I'm smiling! So weird." *later* "I'm smiling. It hurts."

Linkara: *reading Silent Hill* "Huh? Oh...yay.""

"Phelous: "Oh cool, they made Krueger such a whiny bitch I thought to use the Simple Plan song for him. Fantastic.""
 * Brad Jones trying to hang himself, only to fall to the floor, cough for several seconds, yell, "fuck that!" and then stumble away, dragging the rope behind him.
 * Also from House of Wax, whenever the killer, who bears a resemblance to Tommy Wiseau, is seen, Phelous dubs in dialogue from The Room and The Tommy Wi-Show.
 * In the A Nightmare on Elm Street review, there is a moment were a second Phelous appears in the mirror with a really funny expression.
 * "TEDDY! TEDDY! Brother of the Freddy!"
 * Phelous interpreting Teddy as being whiny and angsty, to the point of dubbing Simple Plan's "Untitled" (How could this happen to me) over a scene where he's yelling at Nancy, then lampshading it.

"Aladdin: "You, the world's oldest living virgin?"
 * Phelous pissing Michael Myers off in the Halloween: Resurrection review by singing Silver Shamrock.
 * The various Aladdin jokes in the Shredder review (the male lead being Aladdin's voice actor).

Jafar: "I'm saving myself!"

Aladdin: "Yeah, for a farm animal."


 * Iago freaks out*"

"D1: "Ha ha ha ha! You never should have installed that tatoo scanner on your door, Phelous!"
 * Phelous' summary of the entire movie Five Across the Eyes. This troper was in tears the whole time.
 * The Humains crossover review with Benzaie is full of win.
 * Whenever something stupid happens, they do a weird Kermit-style arm-waving while saying "Humains!"
 * The "French Shia Labeouf".
 * Pick any part of his Julie & Jack review together with Obscurus Lupa (along with some unexpected Tear Jerker at the end). It helps that their vastly different styles mesh surprisingly well.
 * Phelous D1 returns again at the end of the Hostel III review! ...and Phelous doesn't care.

Phelous: "No."

D1: "Uh... anyway, welcome back to the Phelous in a Hat and Trenchcoat saga! I'm taking you to the elite 'hunt people who are bound up' club!"

Phelous: "No."

D1: "BUT I-"

Phelous: "No."

D1: "Come on I've got a really good storyline this time, honest!"

Phelous: "No, you're supposed to be a cat still, so go back to that."

D1: "He he he. But you see, time can be rewritten and stuff, so I-"

Phelous: "No."

D1: "I don't wanna g-"

Phelous: "No."

D1 (Suddenly becomes a cat): "Aw damn it!""

"Phelous: "No fucking shit, Shredder. The dimensional portal sent you to another dimension?"
 * All the Shredder-related jokes in his review of Turtles Forever.

Shredder: "Oh, how was I supposed to know that's what the dimensional portal was for? I thought it was used for making ice-cream."

Phelous: *disbelief* "Ohh, what an idiot.""

"2003!Leonardo: "It's our Shredder. He's come here to tear down your world."
 * The cherry on the cake must go to the episode's stinger, however.

1987!Donatello: "And he's a grade-A meanie!"

Phelous launches into uncontrollable giggling upon hearing that line, but then...

Phelous: "What do you know, that giggle ray actually does work.""

"Phelous: Let me check IMDB, honey. *checks Catherine Hicks' IMDB page* Nope. Your mom doesn't love you and she's never coming back."
 * From the Child's Play 2 review with the Nostalgia Critic:
 * When Andy asks if he'll see his mother again:

"Phelous: I guess she was too busy with her precious Star Trek.
 * Critic's shit-eating grin after Lampshade Hanging his video's recent mid-rolls.
 * The Brick Joke reference to Catherine Hicks' role in Star Trek IV

Critic: Oh no, this came out long after the Star Trek movie.

Phelous: Really? I thought "Homeward Bound" came out after this.

Critic: ...who are you?!"


 * The Critic and Phelous swapping bodies at the end...


 * Phelous' April Fool's review of his own Mortal Komedy, from start to finish. You could hardly get any more meta, and Phelous milks the concept for all its worth.
 * Instead of a review, Phelous and Lupa work together on making a deliberately bad movie of their own, Roller Samurai Vampire Slayers, which stars the couple as a crack pair of... well, Exactly What It Says On the Tin. Sorta. Kinda. Almost.
 * Several parts are highly amusing, but the best is when Phelous' character (who's a vampire in disguise) monologues about his past to himself, hoping that his Knight Templar partner (played by Lupa) won't find him out. Unfortunately, he was talking aloud instead of thinking... and Lupa was right next to him.
 * This scene also allows Phelous to insert unused excerpts of Mortal Komedy.
 * Killdozer. Like, the entire thing. I could just cut and paste the entire script.
 * KILLDOZER DOES NOT RUN ON FUEL! KILLDOZER CAN RUN ON HATE!
 * You stink... You stink...
 * Amityville 4. Phelous's glosses over previous Amityville sequels (though he mentions that the house blew up in both films and somehow got better) because this is the one he's been waiting for; why? "EVIL FUCKING LAMP". The movie's absurd enough with having a haunted lamp as the villain, but he makes it even sillier; giving the lamp dialogue.
 * Of particular note, at one point we see the girl's room trashed, with crayon scribbles on the wall. This leads to an imagine spot of the lamp, holding crayons, walking into the room. "Ahahahaha! No one will suspect the lamp drew on the wall with crayon! No one suspects the laaaamp, haha!"
 * RIIIIING "Collect call from EVIL LAMP. Will you accept the charges?"
