While we're on the Marx Bros, don't forget the incredible mirror routine!
And remember Buster Keaton!
A small one which comes to mind was in "The General" where Buster and his Belle are on the locomotive which is being chased, and she has to put the wood into the boiler as quickly as possible. She picks up one piece of wood which has a small hole in it, shakes her head and throws it away.

M*A*S*H is full of wonderful lines. Here are a few:
First, some of those PA System Announcements: [some wounded arrive at or around the middle of the night] Attention, all personnel - we interrupt your sweet dreams to bring you the following nightmare.
[a Halloween party is in progress] Attention, all personnel - some party guests have arrived - dressed as wounded soldiers.
Frank Burns: I know I'm a real asset. Hawkeye: You're only off by two letters.
Colonel Flagg: I can find anything. Hawkeye: Can you find my virginity? I lost it twenty years ago and haven't seen it since.
B.J.: Have you ever considered renting your mouth out to the motor pool as a garage?
And my favourite: Colonel Flagg: We've got files on people who haven't even been born.
Yeah but you missed the best ones!
"I wonder how such a degenerated person ever reached a position of such authority in the Army Medical Corps!" "He was drafted."
"Henry, I have some reports here from your Major Houlihan that I frankly find hard to believe." "Well, don't believe them then, General. Good-bye."
Love these, too:
Hawkeye: "I made it publicly known that there were fingerprints to be found on the stolen articles. Thereby tempting the criminal to repeat his crime...and retrieve his ill-gotten booty. Or, his ill-booten gotty."
Radar: "Do you know what's in this box? A brand-new suit." Henry: "How did you know my size?" Radar: "I traced you when you were asleep!"
Frank: "Oh, well, war is hell." Hawkeye: "No, it isn't. War is war and hell is hell, and of the two, I think war is much worse." Father Mulcahy: "How do you figure, Hawkeye?" Hawkeye: "Tell me, father: Who goes to Hell?" Father Mulcahy: "Sinners, I believe." Hawkeye: "That's right. There are no innocent bystanders in Hell. War is chock-full of them."
Hawkeye: "I will not carry a gun, Frank. When I got thrown into this war I had a clear understanding with the Pentagon: no guns. I'll carry your books, I'll carry a torch, I'll carry a tune, I'll carry on, carry over, carry forward, Cary Grant, cash and carry, carry me back to Old Virginia, I'll even 'hari-kari' if you show me how, but I will not carry a gun."
Sidney Freedman: "Ladies and gentlemen, take my advice, pull down your pants and slide on the ice."
Zillions more, but these are top o' the charts! |
