  1. Easily one of the best scenes and the movie is easily one of the most memorable comedy films in the last 30 years!

  2. Remember gang – empty the garbage can, fill it with water from the sink, and fill the toilet slowly – it will flush

  3. The really well acted human moments from the leads in this movie are so good and set up the slapstick elements perfectly. His initial face of true despair and hopelessness is amazing. Similar to Carrey’s speech saying “I’m sick and tired of having to eke my way through life” before screaming about their pets’ heads falling off 

  4. Also one of the most cut out scenes ever. If you manage to find this movie on TV, they basically cut out the entire toilet scene and like two minutes to either side of it.

  5. Ever since having my son 1.5 years ago, one of my most used phrases is “LOOK WHAT HE DID! THERES SHIT ON MY WINDOWS! THERES SHIT EVERYWHERE!”

  6. That’s one of the funniest poop joke scenes in cinema history.

  7. It’s not a film for those inclined toward nuance and layers of meaning …

  8. Mine is the snowball fight. I hope someone said that already! Epic. I remember where I was at and who I was with at the time! Love you Josh!
