My Family Quotes...

So my family quotes movies. A lot. Over the past couple months, I've been compiling a list of some of the quotes we say the most. I mean we'll often come up with something from any movie to fit certain situations, but there are some quotes that we say ALL THE TIME. So I've been putting together this list. These are the quotes that we say a lot. I mean, there are some quotes we say a lot, but these are the ones we say A LOT A LOT (I was very particular).

Now these are only quotes from movies and TV shows. If I expanded to comedians and such, we could go on for ages. Also, you'll be able to get a feel for what movies we enjoy watching XD. I don't really know what it is about some of these. I guess it's just the way they're said. We enjoy imitating it. Or some or them are just so dumb. I think it's both. And also some of them just fit into many of our conversations (for example: "I was houngry").

Top 10 Favorite Friends Moments

These are the moments that just stick with me and I will always go back to. The ones that I just bust up laughing at every single time. I mean the whole show is funny, and it can be pretty hard to pick a favorite moment, but these are the stick-out ones for me.

Might as well dive right into it…

#10- Any random dancing/jumping/singing/etc.

Because really, they're all really short moments and there's too many to pick just one. And I crack up just as hard at each of them. These are just a few examples of what I'm talking about. (Don't worry they're all about 30 seconds)

#9- The Jellyfish Story

I don't know what it is. I love that they tell it like a dramatic war story or something. And also "eeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwww!"XD

#8- Phoebe's Boyfriend's Shorts

Just everybody's reactions XDD. (As a side note since I always appreciate this while watching an episode, Matthew Perry is the king of facial expressions!)

#7- The Birthing Video

For the life of me, I could not find the clip on its own with

all the footage. This was the best I could find. So skip

 to 7:55-9:49

Again with Matthew Perry's facial expressions XDD "Why have I seen this three times!?"

#6- The Hypnosis Tape

It's kind of obvious why this is so hilarious, right? "You are a strong confident woman who does not need to smoke". And poor Chandler has no idea what's happening XD

#5- Ross's Tan

I cannot handle this, it's too funny! I mean, how he ends up practically black at the end XD Seriously, how could he mess that up so many times?

#4- Rachel's Cat

Everybody's comments and reactions are what make it so funny. "It's not a cat!"

#3- Rachel's Trifle

What? It's got lady fingers, custard, jam, bananas, beef sautéed with peas and onions, and whipped cream. What's wrong with that? I love how Monica is so at a loss when she eats it that she takes Joey's stupid acting advice and rubs her stomach and goes "mmmmm!!!" XDD

#2- First Kiss

I love the realization. That's the hilarity of it. Just as they all make the connection of what actually happened all those years ago… and the horror of it. "What did I marry into!?!"

#1- The Europe Story

Alright. Now on its own this is not a particularly "funny scene" per say. But it's freakin' HILARIOUS if you watch the entire episode, because it's one of those things where everything slowly comes together and suddenly "OMG!!!" with an added "LOLOLOL!!!" in this case. Also, you have no idea everything's been coming together until it reveals who came on to who. Oh! It's so hard to explain! I recommend watching the episode rather than just the clip to appreciate the sheer hilarity of it.

Top 5 Psych Episodes

Yes, we're still on Psych. Well, my recent rediscovery of it got the rest of my family back on it too, so that's been keeping my tank fueled. As I've been watching the show, I half consciously began thinking up this list. I mean, they're all basically my favorites because this show is just awesome. But I've decided to actually compile a top five.

So here we go in no particular order:

1) 6x02- Last Night Gus

Shawn, Gus, Lassiter, and Woody all wake up in the Psych office without any memory of the night before. A dead body pops up and they realize they have a connection to it. They desperately try to put the pieces together from the previous night as they try and solve the man's murder. 

I cannot get enough of this one. It's obviously a spoof off The Hangover with a classic Psych murder mystery thrown in. Just how they uncover random bits of information and start freaking out as they jump to conclusions ("obviously we knew the victim" "well we all knew the victim, but you are the one who shot him" "you had the dead guy's phone!" "Shawn is wearing the man's sandals!")

YOU HAVE TO WATCH THIS TRAILER 

2) 7x11- Office Space

Gus accidentally tampers with a crime scene at his office and he and Shawn cover it up to buy them time to find the real killer. Meanwhile a security guard is hot on their trail.

I just love how it's set up. I mean, it's not a particularly ingenious plot or anything, but just the way it plays out (like when Lassiter comments how the dead man's socks are missing and thinks it must be some sort of sick murder ritual, but then it jumps back to Shawn and Gus the night before as they take off the man's socks because Shawn's blood was on them from his bloody nose. It's just funny). And just how it keeps getting worse and worse for them XD. Then there's just other great moments like Gus's coworker who's in love with him, or "are you carrying Spencer's unborn demon seed?".

3) 2x13- Lights, Camera… Homicidio

An actor is murdered on the set of a spanish soap opera. While investigating, Shawn finds himself cast as a flirtatious delivery boy.

Oh. My. Word. I cannot even begin to describe how utterly HILARIOUS this one is! I don't even know where to begin. Just Shawn in his stupid getup as "Chad" with the poofy hair and everything. And how literally everyone watches the show and is all into it, even the Chief and Henry. I can't! You just have to watch it! XD

4) 3x02- Murder? …Anyone? …Anyone? …Bueller?

While at their high school reunion, Shawn believes he witnesses a murder. However, he has all the evidence proving it except for the actual body.

This one has a special place in my heart because it was the first episode I ever saw all the way through. It's actually quite good though. I think it would still be in my top five even if it wasn't the first one I ever saw. "No body, no crime".

5) 2x02- Sixty Five Million Years Off

Shawn claims that a random John Doe found dead was killed by a dinosaur, and is of course thought crazy. However… he may not be all that far off.

There's so many golden moments in this episode! "Farmer shooty-pants", the fruit stand, the "intervention", or when Gus is squeaking while cracking the key code: "what are you channeling Michael Jackson?". And of course the reference to Dule Hill's other famous role (Holes).

Puh-sigh-ch

Otherwise known as Psych! The best show EVAH!

Frankly, I was going back through my old posts and I realized something… I never made a post dedicated to one of the greatest detective shows to have ever been aired: Psych. I've been rewatching it lately so I decided now was as good a time as any since I'm refreshing myself.

To start off for those poor ignorant few out there who have no idea what this amazing show is about… it centers around a guy, Shawn Spencer, who is hyper-observant and has a photographic memory. His abilities are so unnatural that he manages to pass himself off as psychic to the police as he solves crimes with his best friend, Gus.

I remember how I began watching this one. My family started watching it while I was away at college (it was on Netflix and I'm pretty sure someone had recommended it to them). When I came home for the holidays, they were still watching it, somewhere near the end of the second season I think. I sort of ignored it at first, thinking it was just another TV show and I already had my own amazing ones to focus on. However, I did catch glimpses of episodes here and there and I had to admit, it seemed a little intriguing. It looked upbeat, fun, plus it was a mystery show. But I still didn't want to sit down and watch it with them. Then one night (I can't remember exactly why), I sat down with them for an episode. I even remember which one it was, 3x02 "Murder? Anyone?… Bueller?". That was the first episode I saw all the way through… and it was enough. After that I went upstairs to my own computer and sought out the show to start from the beginning. Then I was hooked. I ended up surpassing my family. I'm now the only one who's seen the end of the show (which ended this year *tear*)

Where to start with my ravings? I guess the characters. They are all awesome! Seriously! All of them are hilarious in their own way. Just the way they all bounce off each other and the way they deliver their lines, ridiculous or not. So much love!

First there's Shawn, our "psychic".

He's the epitome of hilarious, witty randomness. Like I said, he's hyper-observant with a photographic memory, so that's how he manages to pass himself off as a psychic. Like he manages to recreate a crime scene board entirely from memory after seeing it for only like three minutes ("yeah, three whole minutes"). Or he can remember what's in a missing photograph that he saw for only a second even when he wasn't focusing on it. A criminal profiler described him as "highly intelligent, but you’re shameful of that fact so you play it down with the use of inappropriate behavior, and you live in fear of showing your weakness so you hide behind a constant barrage of jokes and sarcasm". That sums him up very nicely. He also took the detective exam at age 15 and got a 100%. In the pilot episode, a detective who did a background check on him commented that he could be running IBM to which he responded "why would I want to do that?". He is very sarcastic and a complete smart-aleck, and it's hilarious. Some of the things he says, his comebacks, the way he stalls, his tangents, they're so great! Sometimes they're so random and not even witty in the slightest, but they're just so stupid and/or delivered so seriously that they just… go. He acts extremely immature all the time much to Gus's chagrin (and especially Lassiter's). But he almost always comes out on top. This is why he is awesome!

Next there's Burton "Gus" Guster, Shawn's best friend and partner, and one of the few people to know Shawn's secret.

He's sort of the straight-man of the duo, although they both are pretty silly. He often gets sucked into Shawn's crazy plans and shenanigans, protesting all the way. He even got kidnapped (as he claimed) by Shawn once because he slipped six allergy pills into his milkshake while Gus was peeing, and then took him on a road trip to investigate a case Gus already said he didn't want to go on. He works two jobs, Psych and as a pharmaceutical salesman. He tries so hard to balance both, but it seems like he spends a lot more time at Psych than his other job (which is joked about in later seasons when a crime happens at his office "you still work here?"). He has the "super smeller/sniffer" which is often utilized in cases, he can't stand the sight of dead bodies/blood, and believes in spirits, curses, ghosts, etc. He and Shawn have an absolutely impenetrable bond. Although they often joke about leaving each other behind, making the other go first, or using the other as a shield, I think if it really came down to it they would sacrifice their life for the other. And even though Gus gets upset at getting tricked into doing all sorts of crazy (sometimes even life-threatening) things, he always forgives Shawn at the end of the day. Shawn's not the only manipulative one though. Although it may not always be as crazy, Gus sometimes manages to get Shawn to do something he wouldn't normally do (like attend a sea lion's funeral, for example). We love Gus, girly screaming, tap dancing, sympathetic crying, and all.

Then Detective Carlton Lassiter, affectionately nicknamed "Lassie" by Shawn and Gus.

He's the head detective of the Santa Barbara police department and the only person in the show who consistently does not believe Shawn is psychic. He's not a bad guy in the slightest, but he is constantly antagonistic towards Shawn and Gus because he finds their antics irritating and unprofessional. He did once admit to Shawn while drunk that "you astound me", and over time he slowly came to quietly respect their abilities as detectives and even on occasions would willingly team up with them. He's very tightly wound, almost always plays by the book, has very little tolerance for ridiculousness, and is in love with his gun and his job. In fact, he was put in charge of a trainee detective who was an absolute nightmare (she was cantankerous, constantly discharged her weapon, suspected everyone of crime) and Lassie wondered why he was put in charge over her. The Chief told him that everyone thought they had a lot in common, and he realized how people perceived him. He lightens up a bit in later seasons, but not too much because his uptight personality is why we love him.

Next is Detective Juliet O'Hara, Lassiter's partner.

She serves as Lassie's foil a lot of the time and they balance each other out. She's the "good cop" of the duo, I think. There's even an episode where they're trying to out-do each other and are timing each other in the interrogation room using their own style, and it's literally the good cop/bad cop routine. She's very friendly, sensitive, and open-minded as opposed to Lassiter's rigid, gruff, no-nonsense persona. She's also a total boss in addition to being funny, smart, and beautiful. She shares a lot of romantic tension with Shawn through the seasons. It's the classic will they/won't they scenario, but it's pretty played down and not so dramatic like in a lot of TV shows. At first it was mostly Shawn just flirting at her occasionally (which he did with every attractive woman he came across), but then it morphed into them actually starting to have feelings for the other, which then morphed into even deeper feelings which I will not get into (but it was far too wonderful for words). Anyways, Jules is an amazing character!

Then there's Henry Spencer, Shawn's dad and the other person who knows Shawn is not psychic.

He's the reason Shawn is the way he is. He taught Shawn how to hone his skills of observation at a young age by playing a game where Shawn would close his eyes and Henry would quiz him on certain things they saw like how many hats there were in the room. As an ex-cop, he also taught Shawn several life skills growing up such as beating a lie detector, escaping a car trunk, etc. It was his wish that Shawn would follow in his footsteps and become a cop. However, after Shawn's rebellious teenager phase and a falling-out with a stolen car mixed with a divorce, they became estranged and Shawn never did move on to become an officer. A bit like Lassiter, Henry is a little tightly wound and likes to play by the book. Shawn often goes to him for advice whenever he's stuck on a case. Henry seems to get in his son's way a lot by denying his requests, not going along with his plans, or whatever. However, his intentions are always well-meaning. Even when he purposefully got Shawn's motorcycle impounded, his ulterior motive was because Shawn had got in accident and he was worried for his safety. Like Gus, Henry often unwittingly gets pulled into Shawn's crazy schemes (usually when they need his fishing boat, or his house, or his truck). He does usually, but begrudgingly go along with it because in the end he knows his son can get the job done. Even if he is sometimes a sour-puss, Henry is great and we love him for it!

Lastly there's Chief Karen Vick, chief of the police department.

There's not much to say on her except she's awesome! She always sticks to protocol and keeps everything running smoothly (at least as much as she can with Shawn and Gus around). She even stated herself that what she ultimately cares about in the end are the results, and if that means not following the book perfectly to the letter in between then so be it. Shawn points out that she's a "pretty kick-back lady if you give her a chance". She is very authoritative and you just have to respect her. She puts up with so much crap, especially from Shawn and Gus, but in the end she still always does what she can to uphold the law and make sure justice is served. I love her.


So yeah, if the characters weren't as awesome as they are, the show wouldn't hold. But then there's the writing. Holy moly, is it hilarious! Too many quotes! I can't even pick a favorite! I mean, it's a crime/mystery/detective show, which those are usually tough, gritty, dramatic shows. But not Psych. They keep it so upbeat and casual. It's just this quirky, immature guy (with crazy skills) and his best friend solving crimes. I mean, yes there are deaths, there are action scenes, there's shooting, and stuff like that, but it's not TOO graphic or dramatic. Don't get me wrong, there are some dramatic moments, heck, there are entire dramatic episodes, but they're not TOO extreme, like what you'd expect from a typical detective show.

Now down to criticisms. My one criticism is with the later seasons (which is often the complaint with TV shows, right?). They sort of lost the grasp of their original concept. In the first couple seasons, Shawn was this silly, sarcastic guy, but he was still very smart, he just tried to cover it up. In some areas he was clueless, like vocabulary for example, which Gus would then gloat about and take over ("Just tell me what supine means" "You know. Su… supine. Suuu…") and that was fine. But then in the later seasons, Shawn seemed to get dumber. Like he actually didn't know anything for real and wasn't just covering up his intelligence. It sort of bothered me.

Also in earlier seasons, Shawn's "psychic visions" were a lot more dramatic and more… psychic-y? and he gave plausible reasons for them. For example, when he realized a secretary faked people's handwriting on some documents (something others probably wouldn't notice), he made his hand go crazy, scribbling in the air and then said something a little vague like "the answer is in the ink". In later seasons, he would notice something completely obvious like a footprint on the ground or something, then he would just put his finger to his head and say "I'm sensing the killer went that way". See? Earlier he noticed small, easy-to-miss details (this is why he's hyper-observational), put them together, then would give the police kind of vague and charismatic hints making it seem like he was actually having a vision. Whereas in later seasons, he notices very obvious things that people without hyper-observation could notice and then just states the obvious while merely putting his finger to his forehead.

While all this was a definite disappointment for me, it's not enough to put me off the show. The characters and the writing are just so brilliant you HAVE to keep watching. You get so attached to it all in the beginning, you just have to continue. There's not really any major story-arcs, just one new mystery per episode, nothing inter-connected. There's a couple small arcs in the later seasons, but nothing too huge. Which is weird because usually a TV show needs a progressing story to keep the viewers interested like "ooh! What's going to happen?". But that's how good the writing is here. We're just so invested in these characters's lives and how they're going to deal with their next situation (whatever it may be).

Here's a trailer for this lovely show (in the style of the Pineapple Express trailer [the fact that that movie was chosen is so much funnier once you've seen the show… pineapple XD].)

WATCH HERE

So to end this rather extensive post, here's some random quotes. (I can't say favorites, because they're all favorites):

Receptionist: There is a Lieutenant Crunch here to see you.
Gus: Crunch?
Shawn: [enters, dressed in a Civil War uniform] Actually, I've been promoted. It's Captain Crunch.

Shawn: How can you tell that someone's a compulsive liar? I mean, assuming that their pants aren't on fire.

Gus: Wasn't Howie the victim at one point?
Shawn: Gus, that is so forty minutes ago. I bet you're still telling your friends to chillax.

Gus: How do you just eat when there's a dead guy laying there?
Shawn: What, is that rude? Am I supposed to share?

Lassiter: You missed something. We found prints.
Shawn: Was he in a little red corvette?
Gus: Under a cherry moon?
Lassiter: FINGER-prints!

Lassiter: I'm gonna crack her like a bad back!
Chief Vick: Please don't.

Shawn: [about Henry's shirt] It's like a genocide of color... somewhere a rainbow is weeping.

Shawn: [sees Lassiter and gasps] It's a miracle!
Gus: Thank God you're alright!
Shawn: We heard a cop named Lassie died. Jules, tell me you got the flowers.
Lassiter: Lassie III was a retired police dog.
Gus: From the obit, it's amazing what you two had in common: strong, dedicated, loyal.
Shawn: Bouts with ringworm, expressive eyes, goes like this after he poops. [theatrically wipes his feet on the ground]

Henry: Well, that's a stupid house to rob.
Shawn: Does anyone live up to your expectations? Maybe we should get the robber's phone number so you can call and tell him how disappointed you are.

Shawn: You said it was important. [surveying Henry's tight black turtleneck] Clearly, you're about to shoot an Old Spice commercial.

Lassiter: I thought I told you no.
Shawn: But your eyes said yes.

Shawn: If I were just some average guy with no super powers I'd say [muttering dumbly] "I dunno, why're you asking me?" But as the head psychic for the Santa Barbara Police Department I say "I don't know. Why are you asking me?"

Lassiter: Give me the victim's name.
Shawn: Shabby.
Lassiter: What, is that a street name or something?
Gus: It's more of a given name.
Lassiter: Last name.
Gus: He doesn't have one.
Lassiter: Do not play with me.
Shawn: Can I spell it?
Lassiter: I don't care.
Shawn: [spelling] T-H-E… S-E-A… L-I-O… N.
Lassiter: Thesealion? Is that French?
Gus: …Pinniped.

Shawn: How do I look, Jules?
Juliet: Like my 11-year-old nephew in his Peyton Manning pajamas.
Shawn: Your 11-year-old nephew is ruggedly sexy? That's weird.

Gus: You know what they do on those massage tables? They massage men. Big, hairy men. Let me be very clear: these hands are not touching anybody. I only use these hands to touch myself. ...Uh, let me rephrase that.
Shawn: Please stop speaking. And no more fist bumps for the rest of the day.

Henry: I saw the shooting on television, I been trying to call your cell phone. It keeps going to voice mail. I've been worried to death.
Shawn: I... forgot to turn on my phone.
Henry: Gus, let me ask you something. What was the very first thing you did right after the shooting?
Gus: I called my folks to tell them I was okay.
Henry: And what's the first thing he did?
Gus: He ate a banana.
Henry: [to Shawn] You ate a banana.
Shawn: I sure I did. You know why? Because it makes me think of you, because you're my big old papa monkey.

Shawn: Are my eyes seeing what my brain is telling my eyes that they're seeing?

Bad Guy: But know this: one stupid move, and I've got more than enough plastic bags for your body parts.
Shawn: Note to self: call Hefty with commercial idea.

Gus: The thing is, I have something big to tell you.
Shawn: You know you can say anything to me, Gus. We've known each other forever and there's absolutely nothing that could dent our impenetrable bond.
Gus: I have a secret girlfriend.
Shawn: You're dead to me.

Lassiter: Come on, Chief, let me run with this one.
Henry: [seated in a corner] What if we let them work together? Separately, but together?
Shawn: [pointing at Henry] That lonely bald guy in the corner makes no sense.

Shawn: [in a hostage situation] Why don't you let the women, and children, and men, go?

Juliet: Are you asking me on a date beside this dead body?
Shawn: Yeah, but I figured it would be okay since it doesn't really smell.

Shawn: Come on, let's hug it out.
Lassiter: I'd rather shower with a bear.

[After Juliet locks Shawn and Gus in the back of the police car]
Shawn: That's why she let us come along, to keep tabs. That crafty little doodle pumpkin.

Shawn: [to unconscious Henry in a hospital bed] I just… I don't think now is a good time for you to go, you know… I love you...r french toast.

Lassiter: I have slowly, methodically, been building up a tolerance to chloroform over the last fifteen years.
Shawn: Dear God, why?
Lassiter: For a night like this, Spencer.
Gus: I don't believe it... it must have been some other kind of chemical.
[Gus picks up a handkerchief, sniffs it, and immediately passes out]

[Shawn has just accidentally ingested speed]
Gus: Why are you talking so fast?
Shawn: Why are you hearing so slow?

Juliet: You're acting like a child, Shawn.
Shawn: I AM NOT ACTING!

Shawn: Well, much like Lady Gaga, I was born this way.

Shawn: Just because you put syrup on something don't make it pancakes.

Shawn: Well, the plot, unlike your hair, continues to thicken.

And my all-time favorite…

Shawn: Excuse me, I’m here for a class.
Desk clerk: This class?
Shawn: Yeah, I believe it starts in...
Desk clerk: Five minutes.
Shawn: Right. Five minutes... from now. See I’m usually ten minutes early so I’m already feeling behind.
Desk clerk: This class is for five to eight year-olds.
Shawn: Yes. Yes it is. And uh that is what I call...
Gus: (from behind) Discrimination.
Shawn: That’s right!
Desk clerk: Discrimination?
Gus: Yes. And ageism.
Desk clerk: Who are you?
Gus: (steps forward) I’m his lawyer.
Desk clerk: You brought a lawyer?
Shawn: I keep a lawyer on retainer at all times. There is so much injustice in the world that you practically can’t leave home without one. And apparently today it paid off.
Desk clerk: Okay. Well I will see you in court then. Now--
Gus: Perfect. Now I’ll need a statement from you and as we plan to try this in both civil and criminal court, I’ll need the police here as well. Can I use your phone? Or do you only let the white people use that?
Desk clerk: Who said anything about white people?
Gus: You just did.
Desk clerk: The words “white people” did not come out of my mouth.
Gus: There they are again. Luckily I had my hand recorder on for that one. By the way, I am now disclosing that this conversation is being recorded.
Desk clerk: Recorded? Okay this is crazy!
Gus: Crazy? You want to know crazy? I sued 300 business last year alone. I sued a hotdog cart and got everything, but the wheels and the buns, which won in the civil case two months later.
Shawn:  (whispers) Dude. (Gus turns around) I think he gets it now.
Gus: (whispers) I know. But the words are coming out of my mouth faster than I can think of them.
Shawn: (whispers) Bring it home.
Gus: Now if you don’t mind, before I can start snapping evidence photos, I’m a little parched. So can you tell me which one of these fountains I’m allowed to use?
Desk clerk: (points to taller drinking fountain) That one. (catches himself) I mean... y-you pick, sir.

Top Funniest Non-Comedy Movies

I could have done top funniest movies all around, but then the more subtle humor in some movies like the ones on my list here just wouldn't get appreciated. In comedy movies, the comedy is glaringly loud and always there, and while that's great and I love it, sometimes you gotta sit back and appreciate the humor thrown into other films too.

Sooooo here we are:

#5 Pirates of the Caribbean

Let's all be honest here, these movies would never float without Captain Jack Sparrow. That's why the fourth film was all about him! (And they're making a fifth film??? Whyyyy????) But really, he is the funniest part of the movie (among other things). With his weird personality, drunken walk, I-don't-care attitude, outrageous but clever plans, self centered and selfishness, slurred talking, smugness, the way he interacts with other characters, how dishonest and deceitful he is yet you still always trust him, etc. He just makes the movie. Of course other characters get a laugh sometimes too, but it's all about Captain Jack.

#4 Tangled

Kids' films are hard because they always have to have comedy in them to keep the kids' attention. So it's kind of hard to determine exactly what genre a kids' film is (I mean they have their own genre as "kids'"). But some, I think are more comedy, and some are more dramatic, and some are more adventure, etc. This one is a very good balance of everything, I think. But the comedy is spot on! Maximus the horse is hilarious! The one-liners! The slapstick! It's all brilliant!

#3 Ever After

I recently rewatched this movie and I had forgotten how funny it actually is. With classic moments like "there was a bee", or the sobbing princess at the wedding, or Jacqueline and the captain exchanging flirtations across the table in their horse masks, or "I shall simply deny you the crown and… live forever!".

#2 Pride and Prejudice (1995)

My mom and I quote this one often, mostly for comedic situations. Because in all honesty, it's actually quite a funny movie/book. Most people don't give it a chance because it's a period romance and who likes those? Ew! *eye roll* Seriously though, this one is great and totally hilarious! Especially this adaption. With Mrs. Bennet's dramatic wailing, or "shelves in the closet, happy thought indeed", or Mr. Collins… just Mr. Collins, or Mr. Darcy's dry sarcasm, or Mr. Bennet's cool humor. I love it all! XD

#1 Charade

I might be cheating a little on this one because honestly I have no idea what genre this movie is. Maybe mystery/comedy/thriller/romance? I have no idea. I think it's mostly a thriller and not mainly a comedy, so it can be in this countdown. And my number one no less! The writing. The WRITING! There's too many quotes! It's hard to pick a favorite! "You fell for it like an egg from a tall chicken!", or "You're blocking my view" "Which view do you prefer?" "The one you're blocking.", or "How do you shave in there?", or "You greenhorn!", or "You won't be able to lie on your back for a couple days. But then you can lie from any position, can't you?".

Top 10 Tear Jerkers

As I was making this list, I noticed a pattern… the majority of these are from kid films. Why is that? Is the film industry trying to traumatize us into adulthood? Seriously some of the saddest film scenes in history are from Disney films (I won't include examples, since they are all actually on my list).

So onward we go:

#10 Dot's "death" in Animaniacs Movie: Wakko's Wish

Skip to 2:24

OK, so the thing with Animaniacs is that it is NEVER serious. Whenever there is an even remotely serious moment, they always exaggerate it or crack a joke or something ("Spielberg eats this stuff up"), making it ridiculous. So it's never seriously serious. So when this scene showed up… I was actually speechless. Like "where's the joke? Is there a joke coming?... *starts to cry* This isn't funny… This isn't funny at all. *bawls* WHERE'S THE JOKE???".  Even though a bit later after the whole thing she's just like "haha! Just kidding!", you're still left in shock of it all because that was super heavy for an Animaniacs show.

#9 Jessie's story from Toy Story 2

Ugh! This scene! It's just so heart-breaking watching that montage of slowly becoming the forgotten toy and then eventually being dumped into a donation box. Just the way it shows what a bond Jessie and Emily had (as much as a toy and an owner could have), but then it slowly faded away as Emily grew up. It's just so sad. It's the song that really sets the mood though. As much as I'm not a huge fan of Randy Newman, this song really does it for me, especially put in context with this montage.

#8 Sirius Black's death in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

For some reason, I cried harder when Sirius died than when Dumbledore died. Even though Dumbledore's death came as more of a shock, Sirius's death hit me harder somehow. I mean he was Harry's father figure, the closest thing to family he had (besides his actual family who were horrible to him), and he dies! It was the first major character death in the series and it struck me hard. I mean, with Dumbledore, I never expected him to die because, well, he's Dumbledore. So when it happened, I was more hit by the shock of it than the actual emotion. But when Sirius died… oh! I could not handle it! I remember reading it for the first time and I just had to pause and process because NOOOOOOO!!!!!!

#7 Destroying Vanellope's cart from Wreck-It Ralph

I don't have a lot to say on this scene besides that it tears my heart out every time I watch it. Just how Vanellope is shouting and crying as he smashes it. That combined with the music. I don't know, it just really gets me. For the first time, Ralph finally has a friend and then for (what he thinks is) her own good he has to destroy her prized possession and their friendship. I mean, she literally just gave him her handmade medal that tells him that he's her hero and then he goes and does that! It just hurts! "You really are a bad guy". Meh-heh-heh! DX

#6 Up's intro from Up

Do not even get me started on this one. What is it with Pixar and heart-wrenching montages? It's basically the same commentary as I had before. The way it shows Carl and Ellie's sweet, idealistic romance from when they were kids, through their marriage, to Ellie's death. But it includes real things like how Ellie is unable to have children and it shows it! Wow, that's deep for a kids' film. And that one shot conveys so much. And through their whole lives they have a dream of traveling to South America, and then just as Carl gets tickets, Ellie gets sick and dies. *cries* It's the worst! And (if you never noticed), her funeral is held in the same chapel as where they got married! *sobs* Yes, the best way to start a movie is by ripping our hearts out!

#5 Gwen Stacey's death from The Amazing Spider-man 2

Argh! I saw this coming a mile away because I've read the comic, but when it happened in the movie, I had to cover my face to keep my manic sobs from escaping. I understand that A TON of people were just so shocked at it, like Spider-man actually failed to save someone? And his love interest no less? It was just so mind boggling. That never happens in superhero movies. They always go through a lot of trials, troubles, and fights, but in the end, they always save the day… but not here. And the way it was portrayed was so freakin' SAD! First of all, it was so dramatic (of course) with the slow motion as she fell and he went after her, it seemed like he was going to save her. But then he was barely, barely, BARELY too late. He didn't know she was dead until he climbed down to the ground. Then his reaction *cries*. In Andrew Garfield's defense, no one looks good when they cry (genuinely, not the "actor cry" or the "sexy cry"), and he put all his emotion into that performance.

#4 Snow White's funeral from Snow White and the Seven Dwarves

Oh no, this scene! Not one word is spoken and yet somehow it manages to convey so much emotion and sadness. Like, what the heck, Disney!? Just look at those dwarves' faces for crying out loud! They are in complete mourning! The animals are crying, even the candles look like they're crying! And then Grumpy, the tough one, is crying! Argh! I can't take it! It's too sad!

#3 Death of Old Yeller from Old Yeller

For some reason, this was the best I could find. 

Skip to 5:27-5:58

Disney, I ought to punch you for all the emotional turmoil you cause! THIS frikin' scene! I haven't seen this movie in years, but I remember this scene well. I actually first saw this movie in class in eighth grade after we read the book, and it took all my power to not start bawling in front of the entire class (though I'm pretty positive I let loose a few tears). But seriously, this dog was just so faithful, and courageous, and loyal, and brave, and loving, and GAH! And then (while saving his owners from a rabid wolf no less!) he contracts rabies and slowly spirals away from that wonderful dog and into a psychotic, ravenous, ailing creature. It's just too horrible! So the one kid who had the strongest attachment to him is the one who shoots him to put him out of his misery! *wails*

#2 Bambi's mom's death from Bambi

Who could forget Bambi's mom. One of the most famous deaths in cinema history. AND IT'S IN A KID'S FILM!!! Geez, Disney! I mean, you don't even see it happen. Just them running and running, then "BOOM!", then Bambi comes out looking for her only to be told "your mother can't be with you any longer". Holy moly! WHHHHYYYYYYY?????? *sobs*

#1 Mufasa's death from The Lion King

OK, now unlike with Bambi we actually see the body. I mean, it's pretty intense. But it's such a noble and touching way to go, risking his life to save his son (before he get PUSHED OFF THE CLIFF BY HIS CONNIVING BROTHER!!!). But the death itself is pretty intense, I mean he falls, Simba screams "NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!". Then Simba finds Mufasa amongst the dust and debris, dead. Oh! It's too much! The way he cries, tries to get him to move, lies under his paw. *bawls* WHY, DISNEY, WHHHYYYYYY????? And to make it all worse, freakin' Scar has to come and makes Simba think it was all his fault! The lyin' (ha! See what I did there?) murderer!

Catchiest Theme Songs

Now, I'm just talking about TV shows here. Not movie themes like Jaws, or Ghostbusters, or Star Wars, or whatever.

When it comes to TV shows-- or anything really-- a great opening is key. You've got to capture your audience's attention (of course keeping your audience's attention is a whole other story, but…). Especially with kids's shows, they really knew how to make a great opening with an especially catchy tune. Nowadays, I've noticed, it's not really a thing anymore to have a long opening with a theme song. There's usually just a quick calling card with maybe a short jingle, if any at all (Supernatural for example, or Once Upon a Time). But back in the day (or the rare show nowadays), there were some great theme songs! And I'm here to list off my top 10!

#10- Doctor Who

You may be surprised that this is only #10. I do love this show and I love the theme song, but not enough for it to rank higher in comparison to others on my list. But really, this song is fantastic! The beat at the beginning and then how the synthesizer comes in! Just YES!!! BaababadumdumdadumbabadumdumOOOWEEOOOOOOWEEEOOOWOO!!!

#9- The Addams Family

I'll be honest with you, I've never seen a single episode of this show. But man, this is one heck of a catchy tune! Babababum *snap snap* babababum *snap snap* babababumbabababumbabababum *snap snap*

#8- Inspector Gadget

Admittedly again, I never really watched this show either. I think I might've seen one or two, but I can't remember. I've seen the move adaptions *shrug*. I do love Don Adams though, based on his performance in the Get Smart series. Anyways, this is one theme song that will definitely get stuck in your head after one listen. It got like two words, but seriously… CATCHY!!! Dunduhdunduhdun Inspector Gadget dunduhdunduhduuhhhh!

#7- Darkwing Duck

Yet another show I never watched. I remember seeing it around sometimes, though, as a kid. I do remember hearing the theme though and I would just stop only to listen because man it's awesome! I don't even know what the show's about, but I would watch it because the theme song does its job by sucking the viewer (me) in. Let's get dangerous!

#6- DuckTales

I think I remember watching this a couple times when I was little, but I barely remember it. What I do remember is the theme song. Holy cow is it catchy! I mean, it'll just get stuck in your head like that! *snaps* Duck tales! Whoo-hoo!

#5- Kim Possible

Oh my word! This show was my life when I was morphing from child into teenager! Action-packed, comedy, a kick-butt heroine, cool gadgets, awesome plots, and one heck of a catchy theme song! Like seriously, I think it was one of the catchiest songs I knew as a kid. Call me beep me, if you wanna reach me!

#4- Pinky and the Brain

I didn't discover this show until I was older, but man I wish I had. This show is life! This duo actually got their start on Animaniacs (which is another great show to check out), and every time their cartoons were introduced, it would always start with "gee, Brain, what're we gonna do tonight? "same thing we do every night, Pinky. Try to take over the world!" and then a small part of this theme would be sung. It wasn't until they got their own show that the entire theme was written. And it's so catchy! One is a genius, the other's insane.

#3- Friends

Who could forget Friends? One of the most iconic sitcoms of all time. And its theme song was just as darn catchy as its plot. You just got to dance along with the characters as they do in the fountain, and of course clap along when it comes (if you've seen the show or heard the song, you know exactly what I mean). I'll be there for yoouuuuu!

#2- Hannah Montana

Say what you will about Miley Cyrus, but she does have a good voice and (at least back in the day) she could write some pretty decent songs. And Hannah Montana was like the best show ever! You know she wrote all of Hannah Montana's songs, right? At least most of them. So she wrote the theme song, 'Best of Both Worlds'. Like all the songs on this show were freakin' catchy! But this one was the best! I was singing it all through my middle school years... and high school… heck, I STILL sing it! You get the beeeeeest of both worlds! Chill it out take it slow, then you rock out the show!

#1- Psych

This show is awesome in every way imaginable! And that includes its totally catchy theme song! The writing, the acting, the frikin' comedy, the mystery, the suspense. ALL OF IT! Best show ever! And it's a modern show that actually has opening credits with an actual theme song, go figure. AND it's my number one! Whoa! But really, this song is so catchy! I guarantee it'll get stuck in your head. (Also, if you haven't seen this show, I highly recommend you go check it out. It's on Netflix instant view). I know you that I'm not telling the truth.
