Movie Speeches: Where’s the Tylenol?

November 11th, 2008
Written By: Andrew James

Occasionally a speech comes along that isn’t meant to inspire or rally the troops or the like. Sometimes a character has to just get something off their chest. Juliet did something like that from her balcony and Derek Zoolander said a few words at his friend’s funeral. But no one has ever been able to convey anger and emotion as effectively as the likes of Clark W. Griswold Jr. “We’re gonna have the hap-hap-happiest Christmas since Bing Crosby tap danced with Danny fuckin’ Kaye!”

  1. Ha ha!

    The speech is priceless. Could be my favorite rant ever. Let’s not forget that Chevy Chase did actually used to be a very funny man.

  2. Classic! Can’t wait to pull this movie out again for my annual viewing. Last year they showed at the Bloor Cinema. :)

  3. This is the best part of one of my favorite Christmas flicks. Hell, it may be my favorite Christmas flick.

    “SQUIRREL!”

  5. Ha ha.

    “I like you Betty.”
    “That’s Danny, sir.”
    “Danny.”

    I miss funny Chevy Chase.

  6. “Do you take drugs Danny?”
    “Everyday.”
    “Good; so what’s the problem?”

    Must’ve watched this movie 4000 times in college.
