Such a great movie “there go the god damn brownies!”
“Hey Pinocchio! Where you goin?”
It’s the Klopeks…with coppers!
“I want to kill everyone…Satan is good…Satan is our pal…”
“TAKE ME TO THE HOSPITAL! IV’E BEEN BLOWN UP!”
The way Hank’s character gets down the stairs at the end always makes me laugh.
I’ve never seen that.
I’ve never seen anyone drive their garbage down to the street and then bang the hell out of it with a stick.
I’ve never seen that.
The slow zoom on the poodles eyes is the best part of that scene
Ah, pretty girl, a friend of yours? No, it came with the frame.
Sardine?
My aunt would babysit my brother & I when we were little (late 80s/early 90s) and she would always take us to the video store to rent a movie for the night. This one stood out over all the others and remains one of my favorite movies till this day! I have it on DVD and pop it in when I need to be reminded of simpler times. I don’t know too many people who have seen this, which is a shame. It still makes me laugh out loud all these years later!
The Burbs is by far my favourite movie also. Thank you for posting this. My whole life I’ve been utterly astounded at how so few people have seen this movie
I can’t hear the last name Knapp without thinking “HOW UNFORTUNATE FOR THE KNAPPS!”
I’ve had this movie memorized since I was 12 years old. Classic.
Maybe he’s a litterbug…
QUEEEEENIEEEE!!
It’s an all timer for me too. I just watched it with my 13-year-old son and he loved it. Still holds up.
Red Rover Red Rover, let Art go on over…
Whelp, you’ve convinced me. Time for a rewatch. Such a great flick
My favorite movie of all time. It’s such a shame how so many people have never seen this gem! One of the few that makes me laugh every single time. I remember the first time I saw it, same as another comment above, picked out the box at the video store with my dad to rent. Grumpy Rumsfield is the best!
Wendy Schaal, please.
*Run to me, run to water!*
Films like this will never be made again, not that similar ideas won’t come about or whatever, but the rather feel and the atmosphere. It’s that 80s movie aura that can is often copied but never truly replicated.
PIZZA DUDE!
I want to kill everyone, Satan is good, satan is our pal
“He cant come out until he resembles the man that I married.”
“Carol, we don’t have that kind of time.”
One thing I always found funny is that the Knapps apparently only moved out of that house like one month prior. But in that short span the house falls into complete disrepair, the yard shrivels up, etc. (he remarks that the Knapps were normal, mowed their yard and “had a yard to mow”) It turns into a total Norman Bates house in this otherwise pristine cul-de-sac overnight—doesn’t make any sense but is a funny idea.
YO, RUMSFIELD!
Rumsfield: “Art! Your wife is home! And your house is on fire!”
Art: “My wife is home?”
I love when Art.
“Oh, pretty girl…friend of yours?”
“No, It came with the frame.”
And…
“NO!”
“Bout a 9 on the ol’ tension scale there Rube.”
Underrated movie, always loved these little interactions.
