I have to say this is one of the funniest films in the world to me and I find it highly underated.  Granted its overally stupid but thats what makes a good comedy sometimes.  Anyone else feel the same way?

I enjoy the film myself.  I mean yea it's corny at times, and just plain goofy also but it's fun to watch.  When I just feel like watching some corny humor I pop this film in and has some fun.

I always loved the bum who asks for change.  He never fails to crack me up.  That and the Yappies Dog Treats scene!

UHF is just a fun goofy movie.  I'm still waiting for a UHF 2 to come out...I hear Michael Richards is looking for work.   Wink

UHF is a gem of a movie.  I have the dvd, and it's great.  I love Ghandi 2, where he's back, with a vengeance.  And Conan The Librarian.  Conan's like, "Don't you know the Dewey Decimal System?"

Shame it bombed at the theater.  Weird Al rocks.

I've always loved UHF. Sure the plot is just a weak vehicle for Weird Al to do his thing with, but the movie is funny.

Conan the Librarian, Ghandi 2 and the spoof on the infamous KKK episode of Geraldo are my favorites spoofs in the movie.

That is easily the funniest line in this entire movie.  I would even venture that is one of the funniest lines in any movie.  And if you don't think so, then you must be "Soooooo stupid!".  Wink

While nowhere near Oscar material, I do like UHF and own it on DVD.

A good bad movie is like popcorn for the soul!

It's a comedic gem all right . . .  watched it many times.  The "I wanna be your HOG!" song cracked me up!

I like the bit where they get chucked out of the fast food joint and take about 10 seconds to land on the ground.  Cheers

According to the dvd, both Joel Hodgson and Crispin Glover were seen about being in the flick.  But I think they said that Joel had just started with MST3K, so couldn't commit, and Crispin wanted to play the "Crazy Ernie" character at the car lot, and Al felt that he couldn't see Crispin playing that role.

I've tried watching this a few times.
It strikes me as a dumber, more musical version of Kentucky Fried Movie or Amazon Women on the Moon

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
