Tropic Thunder/Funny: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

* Most of Kirk Lazarus', which would be trite/offensive if he actually ''were'' a black guy, become hilarious because he ''isn't''. His speech when [[N-Word Privileges|Alpa Chino says the n-word]], the line "[[Ho Yay|Everyone turns gay at some point! This is Hollywood!]]" and the exchange:

'''Alpa Chino''': What do ''you'' mean, 'you people?' }}

** There's this one:

'''Rick Peck''': A hooker. Oh Jesus, you killed a hooker! }}

*** Made better because Peck then immediately starts telling Speedman what to do to- something which involves [[Disposing of a Body|"bleach" and "lots and lots of lye."]]

** And this one:

'''Tugg Speedman:''' [pause] When I was playing the character. }}

* It's got to be when Kirk finishes off his words of wisdom to Tugg on acting with:

* "Let's go. We only have sixteen hours before they wake up."

* As hilarious as Kirk Lazarus was, the film's ''Crowning'' Moment of Funny comes near the end of the final action scene: Tugg Speedman, escaping from the drug cartel, with a toddler he tried to adopt hanging off his back ''repeatedly stabbing him with a knife'', finally gets fed up and ''[[Refuge in Audacity|throws the toddler off the bridge into the river]]'', emphasized by the fantastic midair [[Everything's Better with Spinning|cartwheels]] he sent the kid into. [[Infant Immortality|The kid, amazingly enough, survives, too]], and looks none the worse for wear - merely extremely pouty - so you don't even have to feel bad about the horrific child abuse!

* Kirk Lazarus as Lincoln Osiris as a Peasant Farmer showing the leader of Flaming Dragon exactly where his farm is.

* Near the end, when Tugg is in shellshock, it cuts to [[Jack Black]] screaming, "MY ASS! MY ASS!"

* The entire movie was a CMOF (well, [[Your Mileage May Vary|for some]]), but special mention goes to [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V4io9Ehi96Y Les Grossman].

* "They're not jelly beans."

** "I know."

* "Your mother's a cankerous whore!!! Hey, remember that time I called your mother a cankerous whore? I'm sorry. I didn't mean that."

* Lazarus attempting to convince Speedman of his true identity:

'''Speedman''': Or are you the dude who has no idea what dude he is and claims to know what dude he is by playing other dudes? }}

* The scene by the river.

** Followed shortly by:

'''Lazarus''': "''Suck'' my unit.'' }}

* "WHAT YOU GETTIN' AT WITH THE BOOK-SCRIPT?! SPIT THAT SHIT OUT, MAN!"

** Even better is the delighted grin just after he's said it.

* This exchange between Lazarus and Alpa Chino:

'''Lazarus''': Y'know, that's a true story? Lady lost her kid. You 'bout to cross some fuckin' lines! }}

* "You Australian! Be Australian!"

* The dialogue in the [[Fake Action Prologue]] which is so cheesy it's a wonder the book became a movie.

*

'''Kevin''': How do we cover him? }}

* At the end of the movie, when {{spoiler|Tugg wins the "Best Actor" Oscar}}, the look on Jon Voight's face (and what he's obviously saying under the crowd noise) is a gem.
