hehehe here is a cute one from Dot on Animaniacs...

And now, it's time for another Dot's Poetry Corner: Roses are red...
Violets are blue.
That's what they say, but it just isn't true!
Roses are red, and apples are too!
But violets are violet... Violets aren't blue.
An orange is orange.
But Greenland's not green.
A pinky's not pink, so what does it mean?
To call something blue when it's not, we defile it!
But, ahh, what the heck? It's hard to rhyme "violet."

Dorothy Parker rocks!!! I love her view on life: first it was "I'm gonna die young", then it was "I'm gonna die youngish", and then it was...ahh! I forgot! going to go look it up...
 
Here is another good one from Dazed & Confused.

have you ever read the princess bride? some of my favorite quotes come from there:

"The beef-witted featherbrained rattleskulled clod-pated dim-domed noodle-noggined sapheaded lunk-knobbed boys."

"'I have stayed these years in my hovel because of you. I have taught myself languages because of you. I have made my body strong because I thought you might be pleased by a strong body. I have lived my life with only the prayer that some sudden dawn you might glance in my direction. I have not known a moment in years when the sight of you did not send my heart careening against my rib cage. I have not known a night when your visage did not accompany me to sleep. There has not been a morning when you did not flutter behind my waking eyelids....'" -- Westley

"'That's all you need? Easy. I love you. Okay? Want it louder? I love you. Spell it out, should I? I ell-oh-vee-ee why-oh-you. Want it backward? You love I.'" -- Westley

"People are always thinking I'm so stupid because I'm big and strong and sometimes drool a little when I get excited." -- Fezzik

"...and as the door closed behind them, two things happened:
(1) The door, quite clearly, locked.
(2) Out went the candles on the high walls.
'DON'T BE FRIGHTENED!' Inigo screamed.
'I'M NOT! I'M NOT!' Fezzik screamed right back. And then, above his heartbeat, he managed, 'What are we going to do?'
'S-s-s-simple,' said Inigo after a while.
'Are you frightened too?' asked Fezzik in the darkness.
'Not...remotely,' Inigo said with great care. 'And before, I meant to say 'easy'; I don't know how the 's-s-s-s-' got in there....'"

"Power was flowing up from Inigo's heart to his right shoulder and down from his shoulder to his fingers and then into the great six-fingered sword and he pushed off from the wall then, with a whispered,'...hello...my name is...Inigo Montoya; you killed...my father; prepare to die.'"

ah yes one of the greatest quotes from the movie. :smiley:
 
Here are a few more from The Princess Bride...
FEZZIK:
Why do you wear a mask? Were you burned by acid, or something like that?
MAN IN BLACK:
Oh no. It's just that they're terribly comfortable. I think everyone will be wearing them in the future.
 
MAN IN BLACK: All right, where is the poison? The battle of wits has begun. It ends when you decide and we both drink, and find out who is right and who is dead.
VIZZINI: But it's so simple. All I have to do is divine from what I know of you. Are you the sort of man who would put the poison into his own goblet, or his enemy's?
**He studies the Man In Black now. **
VIZZINI: Now, a clever man would put the poison into his own goblet, because he would know that only a great fool would reach for what he was given. I'm not a great fool, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you. But you must have known I was not a great fool; you would have counted on it, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of me.
MAN IN BLACK:You've made your decision then
VIZZINI:Not remotely. Because iocane comes from Australia, as everyone knows. And Australia is entirely peopled with criminals. And criminals are used to having people not trust them, as you are not trusted by me. So I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you.
MAN IN BLACK:Truly, you have a dizzying intellect.
VIZZINI:Wait till I get going! Where was I?
MAN IN BLACK:Australia.
VIZZINI:Yes -- Australia, and you must have suspected I would have known the powder's origin, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of me.
MAN IN BLACK:You're just stalling now.
VIZZINI:(cackling)You'd like to think that, wouldn't you?
You've beaten my giant, which means you're exceptionally strong. So, you could have put the poison in your own goblet, trusting on your strength to save you. So I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you. But, you've also bested my Spaniard which means you must have studied. And in studying, you must have learned that man is mortal so you would have put the poison as far from yourself as possible, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of me.
As Vizzini's pleasure has been growing throughout, the Man In Black's has been fast disappearing.
MAN IN BLACK:You're trying to trick me into giving away something -- it won't work --
VIZZINI:(triumphant)
It has worked -- you've given everything away -- I know where the poison is.
MAN IN BLACK: Then make your choice.
VIZZINI:I will. And I choose --
**And suddenly he stops, points at something behind the Man In Black.**
VIZZINI:-- what in the world can that be?
THE MAN IN BLACK**turning around, looking.**
MAN IN BLACK:What? Where? I don't see anything.
VIZZINI: busily switching the goblets while the Man In Black has his head turned.
VIZZINI: Oh, well, I-I could have sworn I saw something. No matter.
**The Man In Black turns to face him again. Vizzini starts to laugh.**
MAN IN BLACK: What's so funny?
VIZZINI: I'll tell you in a minute. First, let's drink -- me from my glass, and you from yours.
**And he picks up his goblet. The Man In Black picks up the one in front of him. As they both start to drink, Vizzini hesitates a moment.**
**Then, allowing the Man In Black to drink first, he swallows his wine.**
MAN IN BLACK: You guessed wrong.
VIZZINI: **(roaring with laughter)**
You only think I guessed wrong --
(louder now)
-- that's what's so funny! I switched glasses when your back was turned. You fool.
THE MAN IN BLACK: **There's nothing he can say. He just sits there.**
VIZZINI: watching him.
VIZZINI:You fell victim to one of the classic blunders. The most famous is "Never get involved in a land war in Asia." But only slightly less well known is this: "Never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line."
**He laughs and roars and cackles and whoops and is in all ways quite cheery until he falls over dead.**

Long but very very funny
 
oh yeah, that was the funniest scene. especially when he was laughing at the end and then just keeled over and died. :lol:
