Not a movie, but rather a tv show. 

SpongeBob SquarePants had an episode, and Orlock from Nosferatu made an appearance.  He was playing tricks and making the lights go on and off, and SpongeBob was just like, "Nosferatu!" and started laughing. 

Everyone looked at me weird as I laughed my butt off.

Twilight Zone I believe, JL played the guy that saw the creature on the wing of the plane (NOOOOOO SMOKING. . .N-O-S-M-O-K-I-N-G, , ,, NOOOOOOOOOOOOO SMOKING!) I've been known to quote that. .

See, I'm not a total loss here. . .


John Lithgow played that part in the Twilight Zone movie.  However, that scene was a remake of an old TZ episode, where William Shatner played the same role of the guy on the airplane.

When I saw Hot Fuzz, I was the only one in a half-full theatre who got the "Cornetto" reference.

What part of a movie do you "get", but don't think others do. .

Honestly? Pretty much all of STARSHIP TROOPERS.  Question

I have only one friend who appreciates the satire this film is..everyone else can't get beyond the two-dimensional criticism of the 'prettiness' of the cast.  Jesus, didn't they ever see a war film from the 40s!?! Lookingup

Dan Ackroyd in Ghostbusters when they are in the library "Listen.......do you smell something?" i have had to explain that to so many people  BounceGiggle

Another Spongebob was the one where Squidward moved to the all Squid community and when Sponge went to visit Squidward ran by and Sponge said to Patrick "Look! There goes Squidward!" and when the rest of the squids run by Sponge remarks, "Look there goes Squidward in angry mob form!" thats just one of many situations where Sponge says something off the wall like that, and most folks don't catch it.


In Return of the Living Dead right after Frank and Freddie discover the gas from the canister revived the fresh cadaver, Frank takes a sip of coffee, fixes his hair and straightens his clothes before talking to his boss on the phone, it seems when James Karen was growing up his father would comb his hair and tidy himself up before talking to anyone on the phone so James sort of picked that habit up too BounceGiggle i laugh about that everytime i see that movie.

In Scary Movie 3 where Leslie Nielsen knocks the girl into the well and says "I just want to tell you both good luck, we're all counting on you..." 

I was the only guy in the a theater full of people laughing at that comment. 

I got that joke too, but none of my friends did.

I agree on that one. I saw this with a group of friends back in 1997 when it was in theaters.  They thought it was terrible and it was clear that they just didn't get what they were trying to do with this movie.

I had also already read the book as well so I guess I might have had a leg up on them but I honestly can't see how someone could watch Starship Troopers and not get it.

The opening number of the movie Spy Hard.

It's a musical number performed by Weird Al Yankovic, and it's a spoof of all the James Bond movies.  At the end of the song, Al holds the note so long that his head blows up.  It's a reference to the urban legend of when Tom Jones sang the theme of Thunderball.  Allegedly, Tom held the note long enough to pass out.

Well, I was the only one who cracked up laughing when I saw a preview for the live-action Transformers movie where, amidst general confusion and seizure-inducing rapid-fire scene changes, someone says of the transformers, "Maybe they were made by the Japanese."

(In fact, the original cartoon was made by the Japanese, not something anyone else in that theater was aware of, evidently.)

I had the same "missed the satire" problem with the people I saw Starship Troopers with. They took it for a straight up action/scifi flick with a few dark comic laughs.

I was also the only one who knew the song played during the prom scene was a recycled David Bowie song with new lyrics sung by someone else, not important, but odd and it took , me out of the movie for minute.

I'm surprised how few people seem to notice or comment on the riffs on the old Hitchcock themes of mistaken identity and "an ordinary man in extraordinary circumstances" that make up the structure of The Big Lebowski. I've always thought the film was meant as a satire of his films.

In Top Secret there is a scene in which the Nazi commander is giving orders to one of his underlings. When he is finished said underling snaps to attention, salutes and shouts "Ich liebe dich mein schatz." (might have misspelled that). I got some strange looks from friends when I started laughing at that.

They didn't know that he just said "I love you"

Oh, totally, I was howling at that part. I actually got some friends to watch Airplane before watching Scary Movie 3 just so they'd appreciate that.

I don't think that was something to 'get'.  I mean, even if it were a movie, I can imagine them putting that in.  Personally I think it's just a lame line...

Or maybe I just don't 'get' it.   Twirling
