Funniest role in a film

Illkillya

what is the role that has you in stitches every time you watch the movie? I think Jack Black as Barry (the fat guy) who worked in the record store in High Fidelity was the funniest I have ever seen. Any other good ones?

Cant agree w/ you more!!

Even my mother when she saw "HiFi" couldn't stop laughing!! He seemed to have the appropriate retort for every eventuality.

[No plug intended ] I did this site last year. Its a bit of a 5 min job but you might enjoy it!!

Bill Murrays twin sons Ronnie & Donnie also crack a rib!! Theres actually loads of eccentrics in this film. Rent it out if you haven't seen it!!

Red Moose

It's got to be Chirs Farley's "Tommy Boy" character (Chris Farley).

"Can you show me the way to the weight room" hehehhehehehhe

Robbo

Dr Gonzo, played by Benicio Del Toro in "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas".

Rob.

"There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. Some kind of high powered mutant never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die".

nice one... another person who appreciates high fidelity to the extent it deserves
if you want to see more of jack black, read my old post that didn't really interest ppl at the time:
http://www.boards.ie/bulletin/Forum14/HTML/000803.html

i saw rushmore at the cinema the day it came out, and those 2 red-heads are funny alright. the Tommy Boy character from Black Sheep (i dont' know if its the same as the one in Tommy Boy) is abolustly hilarious as well, and it probably takes 2nd place to Jack Black.

/me makes mental note to watch Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

.ak

• My Cousin Vinny (Vinny)
• Cats & Dogs (Evil Cat Dictator)
• Spaceballs (Helmet)
• Spaceballs (Barf)
• Young Frankienstien (Igor)
• Blazing Saddles (Sherrif)
• Blazing Saddles (Mel Brooks)

And many more, but that's all I can think off now.

TO illkillya:

Yeh I've heard about Tenacious D alrite. JB has a very dustinctive voice as seen in HIFI w/ the "Lets Get it On" Thang! I think theres a movie coming out about this sort of 4 piece band w/ Jb in it. Heard about it a while back back but must check up on the imdb.com again.
If you're looking to get a cheap version of HiFi on DVD or Video, I just bought a previously viewed DVD copy for £8.99 in Music City in Dun Laoighre.

BTW....

Where did you see Rushmore??
The Screen, D'olier Street around August '99 perhaps ???

Saw it the 1st week myself- On the Sunday in fact. Its a great movie - I actually got a copy of it in music City as well!! Its a brill place for cheap stuff!


Oh yeah....
I suppose I should mention some funny roles...
Well what about Buckin ["The Scotch Ape"] and of course Herman Bloom (Bill Murray). GOd theres really loads of side splitters in Rushmore. The bit where there out to dinner w/ the Doctor is hilarious when Max takes the piss out of him. ["OR are they ??"]

Stop that ! Your giving the same answer that i always give. Add the rabbit from Monthy Python And The Holy Grail to that by the way. And Docter Rumak (Leslie Nielsen) in Airplane. So brilliantly straightfaced, its genius..

Who is The Beefy King ?

Owing to an administrative error, the Pope had been replaced by Lemmy from Moterhead...

Oh yes!, for plastic and I (amongst others)paid tribute to the film by acting out core scenes during a study session for our exams last year. What a brilliant performance from the Rabbit (played by Jimmy).

Hobbes

OJ Simpson in Naked Gun where he goes to kick in the door and his foot goes through it, then the whole bit after that where he gets shot to bits.

Or the hospital scene where he's trying to explain the boat full of drugs.

or theres something about Mary (nearly all of it).

No, I'm not going to bother stating the obvious ones... Most of the really great ones have been mentioned...

Hecate

John Belushi as Jake Blues

"Elwood and I will come here for breakfast, lunch and dinner, every day of the week"

"YES!! YES!! JESUS H. TAP-DANCING CHRIST...I HAVE SEEN THE LIGHT!!!"

He was also pretty good in Animal House, although he didnt have many lines in that film beyond "toga! toga!", the guitar smashing bit was a classic though

It's a pity his career was cut short so early

Bob the Unlucky Octopus

The Black Knight in his brief but bloody cameo in Monty Python and The Holy Grail. Oh, and Robin's Minstrels too.
