Funny Movie Lines That Will Make Your Day Better
What’s so funny, dude? Is there a comedy on TV or something? We’ve all heard some movie quotes that make us laugh really hard. I know that a good laugh can change a person's mood and some movie lines can brighten someone's day. Laughter is a great way to release serotonin and make a person happier even if it's just for a short amount of time. In every movie, there are a few lines that stick out. I find that in comedies, there are many lines that stick out and picking the best ones are hard to do. I created a list below with the funniest lines that I’ve ever heard.

Riki Oh: The Story of Ricky
Alot of B martial arts/action movies suffer from a key flaw; taking themselves too seriously. Instead of embracing the fact that these movies are ridiculous, they try to add complex plot twists or deep character development which always comes off very hoaky and forced. Nobody is expecting an Oscar performance in a movie where you main character kills fifty people with his bare hands, and Riki Oh: The Story of Riki realizes that.

The Genius of BoJack Horseman
Spoilers ahead for all 3 seasons of BoJack Horseman thus far. "That's a great question, Charlie. I, uh... uh, I... um..." This is how BoJack responds to Charlie Rose's question asking him what he has been doing since the cancellation of his sitcom, Horsin' Around, 18 years ago. This happens in the very first scene in the very first episode of the show and, as such, is one of BoJack's very first pieces of dialogue. What may seem like a simple joke initially becomes, with further context, the first signs of what, for lack of a better term, motivates BoJack as a character.

Hilarious Seinfeld Moments
Seinfeld is one of the few shows out there that seems to be able to nail what life really is like. It's a show about nothing and everything at the same time, and it really does reflect all the strange, awkward moments in everyday life, specifically in the New York City.

Konosuba
What will you do if you are given a chance to reincarnate in another world taking a mythical item of your choice with you? Could you imagine just what kind of over-powered cheat item you could bring? How about you just take this goddess and her goddess powers instead?

Best 90s Cartoon Network Shows
"Only 90s kids will remember" is a trendy tagline that epitomizes the nostalgia shared amongst those born between 1990 and 1999. This period was right before the age of smartphones took away from the true creativity of many TV animators.

'The House' Is the Worst Comedy of 2017 So Far
Oh, how I hate The House! This one note joke of a comedy about morons trying to send their daughter to an upscale college is an embarrassing and sad mess. Will Ferrell and Amy Poehler star in The House as a married couple about to empty their nest when they send their daughter off to Bucknell University. However, when they lose out on their daughter’s scholarship due to a scheme by a corrupt city council member (Nick Kroll) they are forced into criminal behavior to make their daughter’s college dream come true.

New Jumanji Trailer: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
Jumanji is an adventure movie that first came out in 1995 and instantly became a family favorite. Actors such as Robin Williams, Bonnie Hunt, Kirsten Dunst and Johnathan Hyde carried us through a deep and fantastic story that will forever stay in our hearts. Sadly I feel that the new movie coming out in 2017 - Jumanji: Into the Jungle - will fall way short of any such effect. Although not a complete loss, the sequel fails to capture the wonder and depth that made the original a timeless classic. In this article, I break down the good the bad and the ugly of the new trailer (you can watch it here).

The Best and Worst ENGRISH in Anime
Japan has a reputation for its “not so good” understanding and pronunciation of the English language. In fact, it’s so common, it’s been coined the term, “Engrish.” In anime, this is known as “gratuitous English,” which basically means, “unnecessary English words that have been thrown into a Japanese anime for no good goddamn reason.”

Roxanne, Pratfall-A-Rama and What Might Have Been
Why don’t I love “Roxanne” anymore? The Steve Martin-Darryl Hannah comedy is turning 30 years old this week and will be featured on this week’s I Hate Critics movie review podcast which is being dedicated to the work of Steve Martin, featuring a Steve Martin Top 5 and “The Jerk” as this week’s I Hate Critics Undisputed Classic. So, of course, I watched “Roxanne” and the film left me only mildly amused at best, deeply disappointed at worst.
