Line 2: [[File:BABSMOVIEWHATSUPDOC_5046.png\|frame]] ~~This~~The [[Films of the 1970s\|1972 film]] '''''What's Up, Doc?''''' is Peter Bogdanovich's affectionate homage to the [[Screwball Comedy]]. [[Manic Pixie Dream Girl]] Judy, played by Barbra Streisand, relentlessly pursues Howard (Ryan O'Neal), a repressed academic, throughout [[San Francisco]], despite the "havoc and chaos" (in Howard's apt phrase) that follow Judy everywhere she goes. Meanwhile, the [[Satchel Switcheroo]] has happened to four identical red-plaid suitcases: Judy's personal items, Howard's valuable (to him) musical minerals, an eccentric rich lady's jewel collection, and some unspecified "Top Secret Government Documents." [[Hilarity Ensues]]. An unofficial remake of Howard Hawks' 1938 movie ''[[Bringing Up Baby]]''. {{tropelist}}▼ ▲{{tropelist}} * [[Actor Allusion]]: Judy makes a reference to ''[[Love Story]],'' which Ryan O'Neal also starred in * [[Chase Scene]]: One of the best and most memorable in all of Hollywood history. ~~{{quote\| '''Judy:''' "Love means never having to say you're sorry."

Eunice is played by [[Blazing Saddles\|Madeline]] [[Young Frankenstein\|Kahn.]] Yeah, right. One of these references is also a [[Hilarious in Hindsight]] moment. When Judy and Howard are talking about her: {{quote\| '''Judy:''' You don't wanna marry someone who's gonna get all wrinkled, lined and flabby!~~<br />~~ '''Howard:''' Everyone gets wrinkled, lined and flabby!~~<br />~~ '''Judy:''' By next week? }} Kahn [http://mkahnfan.tripod.com/White.jpg barely] [https://web.archive.org/web/20121002065941/http://www.charlierose.com/images_toplevel/content/5/579/segment_5799_460x345.jpg aged] for most of her life, and let's just say Babs [https://web.archive.org/web/20130201141521/http://www.medspamatch.com/images/barbra-streisand.jpg doesn't exactly look young anymore.] ▲* [[Hooked Up Afterwards]]: Eunice and Mr. Larrabee. * [[Just Eat Gilligan]]: They could presumably just [[Captain Obvious\|open the bags to see what's actually inside,]] [[Rule of Funny\|but then it wouldn't be nearly as hilarious.]] ** Arguably [[Justified Trope\|justified]] in regards to the seekers of the documents and the jewels. They could've arguably gotten caught at any moment as they stole. Line 28 ⟶ 25: * [[Lovers Ledge]] * [[Manic Pixie Dream Girl]]: Judy, although her actions border on sociopathic in ways that most [[Manic Pixie Dream Girl\|MPDGs]] don't. * [[My Name Is Not Durwood]]: Judy keeps calling Howard "Steve.". * [[Paper-Thin Disguise]]: Fritz's upside-down mustache. * [[Recycled Soundtrack]] * [[San Francisco]]{{context\|reason=How is this a trope?}} * [[Retroactive Recognition]]: A pre-famous [[Robin Williams]] makes a ''very'' brief appearance. * [[San Francisco]] * [[Satchel Switcheroo]] * [[Screwball Comedy]] * [[Shell Game]] * [[Stupidest Thing ~~Ive~~I've Ever Heard]]: ''See'' [[Actor Allusion]]~~'',~~ ~~above~~in the Trivia section.'' * [[Take That]]: The repulsive Hugh Simon is said to have been based on [[Caustic Critic]] [[wikipedia:John Simon (critic)\|John Simon]] <ref>who had memorably said of Barbra Streisand's nose that it "cleaves the giant screen from east to west, bisects it from north to south. It zigzags across our horizon like a bolt of fleshy lightning"</ref>. * [[Title Drop]]: Several, including ending the film with a clip from Robert McKimson's 1950 [[Looney Tunes]] short of the same name. * [[We Gotta Stop Meeting Like This]]: Those very words are used. {{quote\| '''Judy:''' What's up, doc?~~<br />~~ '''Howard:''' I beg your pardon?~~<br />~~ '''Judy:''' You know, we've got to stop meeting like this. }} * [[Who's Onon First?]]: {{quote\| '''Howard:''' "There was this trouble between me and Hugh."~~<br />~~ '''The Judge:''' "You and me?"~~<br />~~ '''Howard:''' "Not you, Hugh."~~<br />~~ '''Hugh''' (helpfully): "I am Hugh."~~<br />~~ '''The Judge:''' "You are me?" }} {{reflist}} {{AFI's 100 Years 100 Laughs}} [[Category:~~Film~~{{PAGENAME}}]]▼ [[Category:Films of the 1970s]] [[Category:~~What's~~This UpIndex ~~Doc~~Asked You a Question]] ▲[[Category:Film]]
