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.)

Actually the original cartoon was American. It was created and written in America and then animated in China. Hasbro had contracted for the cartoon and the comics to be produced after buying the rights to market Transformers in the US from Takara. The Japanese were not yet believers in the 30 min toy commercials. The 3 episode arc called "The Rebirth" was the last American made episodes of the original show but the Japanese continued it on for another 3 series (Headmasters, Masterforce, and Victory). You can see a major change and a lot of anime influence in these latter series as they were a major departure from the style of everything that came before them.

You wanna know a real fun little bit of trivia.. Transformers evolved from a failed attempt by Takara to market GI Joe in Japan in the early 70's

Another one, in "History of the World, Part 1 during the "Roman Empire" section. Comicus (Mel brooks) is announced as a comic that cam all the way from Vesuvius, and Ceaser (Dom DeLuise), sayd "Great, I like a mountan comic", , ,but it meant "I like a-mountin' comic" (a reference to hedonism and homosexuality). Watch it, and the expression on Ceaser's face says it all. .

When I was a little kid, all of my friends disputed my observation of Kermit's reference to Gone With The Wind when his bicycle is destroyed by an asphalt layer, in The Muppet Movie.

I believe there's another GWTW reference in that movie, can't remember what though.

2 come to mind right off the top.

First in History of The World: Part !. When Josephus and Comicus are running from the Romans, they see the blind man on the street, chanting "Give to Oedipus." When they get near him, its "Hey Josephus!!."   "Hey Mother F***er."

Second, in Twister. When the big tornado comes through, one guy in the truck says, "Thats no moon, its a space station!" I was the only one in the theater to cheer that one.

Really? He said that? I don't remember that quote.

Of course, it was a pretty silly film. I probably just wasn't paying attention.

The most unintentionally hilarious quote from Twister I remember was "Maybe we should get off this road." I wonder how many people laughed at that in the theaters. (My folks and I were cracking up pretty hard when we saw it at home.)

I remember that, and growing up a star-wars geek, I thought EVERYONE got that one.

BTW, when I say "Star Wars Geek", I DON'T mean the convention-attending, argue with the Star-Trek geeks kind of person, it's just that I REALLY liked the movies.
