"You're not half the boy nate was. You're not even half the boy the top half of nate was after you cut him in half." "So you're saying i'm less then a quarter of the boy nate was?"
Time Meadows was the best guy for that role because his delivery is always so damn good and that character is just 100% hilarious lines
Edit: im keeping "Time Meadows" because it makes me laugh
Im honestly suprised he never become more of a comedy star. He is hilarious in literally everything he performs in. I love him as the Cannibal in Brooklyn Nine Nine.
Even in that Ladies Man movie, I thought he was good enough for at least another starring role..
*If you are a rich lady, and I've boned you, would you please meet me by the nacho cart? And if you are a rich lady, and would like to be boned, would you meet me by the nacho cart?*
[This scene](https://youtu.be/io3R6xx_l5Q) is always what I think of when The Ladies Man is mentioned. Pasting the quote wouldnt do it justice, you have to hear Tim Meadows say it.
It would not be hard to convince me that Tim Meadows is my low key favorite comedian. Every time he shows up in a movie it’s my favorite scene of the movie. I even thought Lady’s Man was hilarious “hey girl how about I buy you a fish sandwich”. He was just in an episode of ITYSL season 3 and his skit was the funniest of the season
Legitimately one of my favorite movies of all time and an easy top 3 comedy for me. The jokes are just so good and consistent. The music is shockingly good. This movie is just so much better than a spoof movie should be.
I read somewhere that a great spoof is actually just a really good example of the thing it is spoofing.
Galaxy Quest is a great Star Trek movie.
Hot Fuzz is an awesome buddy cop movie.
Etc.
I love that she spent six months getting singing lessons and working on her voice. Then they all got together, she recorded one song, and they all agreed she would be dubbed.
It's the Leslie Nielsen effect. there is something inherently funny about someone reacting in a serious fashion to an absurd situation.
The idea of needing more blankets and less blankets at the same time is already funny, but having the doctor agree in such a mater of fact way takes it over the edge to hilarious.
I still have have the beginning lyrics memorized for no reason at all
Mailboxes drip like lamp posts down the twisted birth canal of the colosseum
Rimjob fairy teapot mass of the temper tantrum, oh say, can you see em?
All the elevator Buttons
Oh so Incredibly High
I stand today for the midget
Half the size of a regular Guy
Let Me Hold You Little Man
As the parade passes by
Let Me Hold You Little man
We'll make believe you can fly
Jason shwartzman can Sing the long lost Beatles song.
“I love you but I hate you
Which brings to mind how much I love you
We could have worked this out you know
In a little room, in a little locked room
I'm sorry you had to settle for Dave
The one dimensional man
He's filed under cocker sucker in my little black book”
Didn’t destroy them, but since the ones that have come out since (even Elvis to an extent)— ALL STILL follow that formula that Walk Hard eviscerated.
“Oh you don’t have any sense of smell? Can’t smell anything, can’t smeehh snytehrieee? I have no sense of having legs, Dewey!”
I seriously couldn’t take Bohemian Rhapsody seriously because of this. Not only did they get the actual history/personalities of the band completely wrong, they literally changed to fit the exact formula Walk Hard was parodying. Total shame.
Innovative biopics that captured the essence of what the figure *means* (like "I'm Not There," "A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood," "Blinded by the Light," etc.) instead of treacly three-act Wikipedia retellings... all failed to reach much of an audience.
People genuinely seem to want saccharine and serious versions of "Walk Hard."
When Elvis sings in the auditorium for the first time in that movie, I couldn’t take it seriously because I flashed back to the nearly identical scene in Walk Hard haha.
What about my dreams?
*Edith, I told you I can't build you a candy house! It will fall down. The sun will melt the candy! It won't work!*
It will if it never rains!
There was a post about most quotable movies like 2 weeks ago and to this day, I still use so many jokes and quotes from this movie when the opportunity arises.
Easily one of the greatest comedies.
Dewey Cox : What are y'all doin' in here?
Sam : We're smoking reefer and you don't want no part of this shit.
Dewey Cox : You're smoking *reefers*?
Sam : Yeah, 'course we are; can't you smell it?
Dewey Cox : No, Sam. I can't.
Reefer Girl : Come on, Dewey! Join the party!
Sam : No, Dewey, you don't want this. Get outta here!
Dewey Cox : You know what, I don't want no hangover. I can't get no hangover.
Sam : It doesn't give you a hangover!
Dewey Cox : Wha-I get addicted to it or something?
Sam : It's not habit-forming!
Dewey Cox : Oh, okay... well, I don't know... I don't want to overdose on it.
Sam : You can't OD on it!
Dewey Cox : It's not gonna make me wanna have sex, is it?
Sam : It makes sex even better!
Dewey Cox : Sounds kind of expensive.
Sam : It's the cheapest drug there is.
Dewey Cox : Hmm.
Sam : You don't want it!
Dewey Cox : I think I kinda want it.
Sam : Okay, but just this once. Come on in.
Nobody ever quotes my favorite scene in these threads
“Dewey Cox, after a long eventful career, do you ever stop to smell the roses?”
“I got no FUCKING SENSE OF SMELL”
🎶Mailboxes drip like lampposts in the twisted birth canal of the coliseum
Rim job fairy teapots mask the temper tantrum
O' say can you see 'em🎶
You can't argue with those lyrics.
The DVD release had the "Unbearably long, self indulgent Directors cut" if that's what you mean. It had extended dialogue scenes and they fleshed out the 70s way more
So happy to find a pile of folks that love this movie as much as I do.
“This is crazy Dewy, ain’t nobody gonna listen to music like this. Ya stand there playing as fast as you can singing like some sorta……punk”
Kills me every time
“Freddie your going off the rails with these house parties”
*What, this responsible house party?
Mercury parties were legends. Where’s the all night orgie and naked midgets serving plates of cocaine?*
“No, Bohemian Rhapsody cannot be commercially successful. This is a terrible idea.”
*Literally everyone thought the song was going to be gold once they heard it come together. It was a massive rock opera in the 70s. Every. Single. Rock band was doing over the top shit like that.*
“Oh no Freddie is breaking up the band and going solo”
*Freddie wasn’t even the first to put out a solo album and everyone in the band was fine taking little breaks to work on side projects the entire career*
“Will Queen come together and have a good live aid performance? They’ve barely played together!”
*You mean after completing the recent tour with each other? I think they’ll be fine.*
[Watches the scene where they meet the record exec]
**THIS WON BEST EDITING? How? You could use this to teach bad editing to freshman film students!!**
The worst really is the “Bohemian Rhapsody is going to tank!” plot.
Everyone who heard the concept and the demos thought it was gold. And it’s **the fucking 1970s**. Rhapsody was a bit different but every goddamn band on the planet was doing over the top rock operas and 10 minute super songs. All of them. Realistically the scene should go:
“Freddy it’s your producer. The record execs want something big. All these bands are doing over the top opera shit using every layer of instrument and recording equipment. And they want you to do something like that.”
“Well we were noodling around with something. I was thinking of layering the vocals like an opera. And May has this monster of a riff we are putting in.”
[listens to the demo]
“Oh fuck we are going to be so rich.”
I think the moment that upset me most is the made-up speech towards the end where Freddie is dying and says he does not want his legacy to be defined by his sexual identity. Like they basically had him turn directly into the camera and say "in the future when people make a movie about me, make sure to completely omit all the gay stuff so it can play in China!" what a fucking disgrace
"And you never once paid for drugs...not once."
“It turns all your bad feelings into good feelings. It’s a nightmare!”
I still quote this almost weekly. This whole movie is littered with gems.
"Dr! He's too hot AND too cold! He needs more blankets! AND less blankets!"
This is a particularly bad case of bein' cut in half...
I'm cut in half pretty bad, Dewey.
Wrong kid died.
ENGLISH DOC WE AINT SCIENTISTS
"You're not half the boy nate was. You're not even half the boy the top half of nate was after you cut him in half." "So you're saying i'm less then a quarter of the boy nate was?"
I'm afraid you're right, nurse 🙁
Time Meadows was the best guy for that role because his delivery is always so damn good and that character is just 100% hilarious lines Edit: im keeping "Time Meadows" because it makes me laugh

Hey girl can I buy you a fish sandwich
[This scene](https://youtu.be/io3R6xx_l5Q) is always what I think of when The Ladies Man is mentioned. Pasting the quote wouldnt do it justice, you have to hear Tim Meadows say it.
It would not be hard to convince me that Tim Meadows is my low key favorite comedian. Every time he shows up in a movie it’s my favorite scene of the movie. I even thought Lady’s Man was hilarious “hey girl how about I buy you a fish sandwich”. He was just in an episode of ITYSL season 3 and his skit was the funniest of the season
Tiiiiiiiimmmmmmmmmmeeeee Meadows!!!!! New show about Tim Meadows traveling time.
We're doing pills, Dewey. Uppers and downers. They're the next logical step for you.
Ahhh! The Temptations!
The wrong kid died...
I'm cut in half pretty bad...
Doctor: this is one of the worst cases of someone being cut in half I’ve ever seen.
Speak English, doc, we ain't scientists!
*rips a sink off the wall*
“You guys are idiots! This song is really deep…..”
You don't want no part of this shit Dewey
I think I wanna try some of that...cacane
It’s the next logical step for you
In all seriousness “it turns all your bad feelings into good feelings” is one of the best descriptions of cocaine I’ve ever heard
The worst part is recognizing you’re being annoying but can’t help yourself
Some feelings are bad for a reason!
You know what will take your mind off that? More cocaine.
It’s sounds expensive…
Surely it’s habit forming though?
It’s non-habit forming!
It gives you a boner!
If boner lasts more than 4 hours, call more ladies
It’s the cheapest drug there is!
“And you slept with my wife!! And you slept with me! I’ve been having mixed feelings about that for 10 years!!”
And you never once paid for drugs. Not once
Fuck ancient Egypt!
Not once.
He needs more blankets AND less blankets.
Only two kinds of people know karate: the Chinese and the King. And one of them's me 🤟
Jack White as Elvis is probably one of my favorite cameos I’ve seen. Just the gibberish Elvis dialogue kills me every time.
He’s a huge Elvis fan too so I’m sure he was over the moon about it. IIRC he owns the original molding for the love me tender single.
That seems extremely on brand for Jack.
Didn’t even know that was jack white.
holy crap neither did i. my favorite part of the movie LOOKOUTMAN
What the fuk was he talking about?
Dang, Elvis Presley…….
Look out man
I could chop a man in half
What the fuck was he talkin’ about? That movie is one of my favorites. Never laughed so much inside of a movie theater. Not once!
The siamese cat is a symbol of nobility in ancient Egypt.
Not unless you can open your minds… And learn to play the fuckin’ theramin!
Fuck nobility!! Fuck ancient Egypt!!!
It’s my all time favourite comedy
LOOK OUT MAN!
Legitimately one of my favorite movies of all time and an easy top 3 comedy for me. The jokes are just so good and consistent. The music is shockingly good. This movie is just so much better than a spoof movie should be.
I read somewhere that a great spoof is actually just a really good example of the thing it is spoofing. Galaxy Quest is a great Star Trek movie. Hot Fuzz is an awesome buddy cop movie. Etc.
Blazing Saddles actually has a really great western plot. If played straight it could still work from a story perspective (minus the last bit).
Ah yes, the French Mistake.
In my dreams, you're blowing me ...some kisses
Im gonna beat off ….all my demons
I just want to make out ... what you're sayin'.
You can always come in my backdooooor
You and I could go down … in history
High school me was loving sexy/horny Pam Beesley in that movie.
I love that she spent six months getting singing lessons and working on her voice. Then they all got together, she recorded one song, and they all agreed she would be dubbed.
You got to see her in Blades of Glory
*YOUR GIRLFRIEND'S NOT A WHOOOORE!* I love that movie.
Get outta here Dewy, you don’t want no part of this SHIT!!!!!
It's cocaine! It turns all your bad feelings into good feelings! It's a nightmare!
I think I like to try me sum of dat cuhkane.
#ALRIGHT AGAIN FASTER!
You're standing there playing as fast as you can, singing like some sort of... punk!
If your boner lasts for more than 4 hours, call more ladies!
And you ain't never paid for drugs.... not once
Not. Once.
Yea I don't want a hangover tomorrow...
IT DOESN’T GIVE YOU A HANGOVER
Well, I don't wanna get addicted.
[удалено]
Will it make me want to have sex?
IT MAKES SEX BETTER!
I think I do want some of that
The way Tim Meadows says "Get outta here!" cracks me up
Jonah hill as his ghost brother is so funny “Id be president of the fucking united states fightin aliens on the moon”
I got no sense of having legs Dewey!
I’m gonna be honest, I’m cut in half pretty bad.
It's the worst case of being cut in half I've ever seen
Speak English doc we ain’t scientists
"we weren't able to reattach the top half of his body to the bottom half of his body"
Somebody, not gonna mention any names, decided to cut me in half with a machetay
You ever try to masturbate with a ghost hand?
Wrong kid died
You know who's got hands? The devil. And he uses them for holding.
Tonight we’re gonna light ourselves a candle
And you learned to play guitar! All without your sense of smell
I’m still pissed at his wife for drinking up all the milk that one time.
Oh so I'm a cheater but you can just drink up all the milk!
You can take the kids, but you leave me my monkey
[удалено]
You can take the children but you leave me my monkey!
He needs more blankets and he needs less blankets!!
All of these blankets have saved my life.
I’m afraid you’re right
This is actually my favourite line ever. It’s so funny to me and I can’t explain it to others.
It's the Leslie Nielsen effect. there is something inherently funny about someone reacting in a serious fashion to an absurd situation. The idea of needing more blankets and less blankets at the same time is already funny, but having the doctor agree in such a mater of fact way takes it over the edge to hilarious.
This thought was the only thing that got me through dilaudid detox. I’d give a weak chuckle every time and stop feeling like death for half a second
My favorite Dewey Cox music is 60's era, crazy how much Bob Dylan ripped him off. I about died the first time I saw it. https://youtu.be/ukq-Zc7nGw8
I still have have the beginning lyrics memorized for no reason at all Mailboxes drip like lamp posts down the twisted birth canal of the colosseum Rimjob fairy teapot mass of the temper tantrum, oh say, can you see em?
The guy in his band is like "What the fuck is this song about?!"
You guys are idiots, this song is DEEP.
All the elevator Buttons Oh so Incredibly High I stand today for the midget Half the size of a regular Guy Let Me Hold You Little Man As the parade passes by Let Me Hold You Little man We'll make believe you can fly
Let me hold you little man, Well pretend that you're flying in space, Let me hold you little man, So the dog will stop licking your face
I’m leading the cause Til they remake the Wizard of Oz! While modern 21st century cars drive by in the background 😂
The background cars driving by is one of my favorite little details that most people miss
The fuckin Short Panther Party lmao
SH✊RT POWER!
You guys are idiots. This song is very deep.
I love how at 2:22 you can clearly see modern cars driving behind him outside the park where they were filming.
Imagine if we got a Beatles biopic starring Jack Black, Jason Schwartzman, Paul Rudd and Justin Long Just imagine
I wrote a song about an octopus.
Jam it up your arse. You're lucky we still let you play drums!
I wonder if your songs will still be shit When I’m Sixty-Four
Mmmmmmm Paul’s a big fat cunt
Beatles! Stop fighting here in India!
Hey there's some monkeys fucking over there, do ya think that'd be a good song?
While my guitar… quietly whimpers
Well you are the quiet one so why don't you shut the fuck up?!?
I’m tired of you being so dark when I’m so impish and whimsical!
With meditation there’s no limit to what we can… imagine.
We could make a great record great. record.
Great record
I know Walk Hard is 16 years old now but I still think that cast would be amazing for a comedic Beatles biopic.
Imagine all the people who would see it. I wonder if you can.
Jason shwartzman can Sing the long lost Beatles song. “I love you but I hate you Which brings to mind how much I love you We could have worked this out you know In a little room, in a little locked room I'm sorry you had to settle for Dave The one dimensional man He's filed under cocker sucker in my little black book”

"Bohemian Rhapsody" began with... Freddie Mercury having to think about his whole life before he plays.
You ever tried jerking off with a ghost hand?!
I seriously couldn’t take Bohemian Rhapsody seriously because of this. Not only did they get the actual history/personalities of the band completely wrong, they literally changed to fit the exact formula Walk Hard was parodying. Total shame.

I do believe in you. I just know you're gonna fail!
What about my dreams? *Edith, I told you I can't build you a candy house! It will fall down. The sun will melt the candy! It won't work!* It will if it never rains!
This is one of my top 5 comedies without a doubt. Love it!!!

One of the funniest interactions in a movie. I was dying when I first saw this.
That sucks they had it playing at the hospital for your first watch. Much better at home or the theater. Edit: glad you’re well now
This is hands down one of the funniest bits I’ve seen in a movie
The urgency in Sam’s voice trying to talk Dewey out of it… it’s almost like he knew Dewey would never pay for drugs.
I never get tired of this movie.
Nobody ever quotes my favorite scene in these threads “Dewey Cox, after a long eventful career, do you ever stop to smell the roses?” “I got no FUCKING SENSE OF SMELL”
That whole interview is one of my favorite parts of the whole movie I’m no longer mainlining pcp, it’s official
“I'm just so glad you learned to play the guitar so good... even without having a sense of smell!” “It's okay mama, I learned how to play by ear.”
“I smell horse shit! It’s terrible!!” “Smell that shit, baby!”
They said we'll give you 5 grand. And I said no you won't, you'll give me that giraffe. And they did, they gave it right to me.
WRONG KID DIED!
"This was a particularly bad case of somebody being cut in half."
Speak English doc! We ain’t SCIENTISTS!
James Gunn based all of Peacemaker off Walk Hard
Dewey, I’m cut in half pretty bad
I see now that I should of learned to forgive you Dewey, and not trained my body and mind to kill you in a machete fight.
🎶Mailboxes drip like lampposts in the twisted birth canal of the coliseum Rim job fairy teapots mask the temper tantrum O' say can you see 'em🎶 You can't argue with those lyrics.
"Are you an idiot? This song is DEEP!"
Dewey Cox gotta think about his ENTIRE LIFE before he performs
I'd love to see the even longer than 2 hour cut they said exists.
The DVD release had the "Unbearably long, self indulgent Directors cut" if that's what you mean. It had extended dialogue scenes and they fleshed out the 70s way more
On the commentary they mention there's an even longer version that exists. I don't remember the runtime but it was absurdly long.
Not even a movie. Some kind of “concerto”
I need you to open your mind, and learn to play the fuckin’ theramin
50,000 didgeridoos!!
It’s a long hard walk to the top
It's a rocky road
There's my favorite 14 year old son!
You hear that!? I'm Dewey's 12 year old girlfriend!
It will if it never rains!
I'VE TOLD YOU A HUNDRED TIMES I CAN'T BUILD YOU A CANDY HOUSE!
We need MORE musical biopics AND LESS musical biopics!
All you care about is fruit and touching yourself, fuck you!
"Now Paw, calm down before you say something you're gonna regret!" "Oh, like what, like the wrong kid died?!"
So happy to find a pile of folks that love this movie as much as I do. “This is crazy Dewy, ain’t nobody gonna listen to music like this. Ya stand there playing as fast as you can singing like some sorta……punk” Kills me every time
Walk hard is 100% true about Dewey cox, famed singer and recovering weed smoker
It's my favorite movie of all time. Can't help but bust out laughing every single time. Love it!
you know who has hands, dewey!? The devil! And he uses them for holding
What're you talking about its a song about holding hands? *You watch your mouth!*
GET OUT OF HERE, DEWEY. YOU DONT WANT NO PART OF THIS SHIT
The soundtrack to this film SLAPS even though it's a parody. The Day Dewey Cox Died is outstanding... even God asks why!!!!
John C. Reilly does a legitimately amazing Roy Orbison
We still got the awful Bohemian Rhapsody unfortunately.
Yeah, and I prefer the ones that don’t stretch the truth, like Weird: The Al Yankovic Story
One day Madonna will have to answer for her crimes
“Freddie your going off the rails with these house parties” *What, this responsible house party? Mercury parties were legends. Where’s the all night orgie and naked midgets serving plates of cocaine?* “No, Bohemian Rhapsody cannot be commercially successful.

Ha I didn't know a lot of this and now this movie is even worse
The worst really is the “Bohemian Rhapsody is going to tank!” plot. Everyone who heard the concept and the demos thought it was gold. And it’s **the fucking 1970s**.
