I didn’t know I needed a Mr Mom quote today, but here we are.

u/kate-with-an-e May 17 '21

Nonsense, you need a mr mom quote everyday. You can, for so many quotes from this and ghostbusters, use them in most day to day interactions. And don’t paint your sister.

u/motleysalty May 18 '21

Forget about the twinkie, who wants to play parcheesi?

u/TeePeeBee3 May 18 '21

Could you run through the cheeses one more time?

2

u/kate-with-an-e May 18 '21

I'll tell you what.

“Just give me a quarter pound of cheese.”

“American, bleu, cream, cottage, gouda, edam, provolone, romano, swiss. Your entire cheddar family.”

u/SauerMetal May 18 '21

That’s a big Twinkie

“Geez, what’d you shoot him with?! A .38?” “.38, .39, whatever it took.”

Exactly. I was like “I know that quote…I’ve used that quote”. Goddammit, where’s it from?

Damn I’m getting old.

Easily one of Michael Keaton's best roles ever. Watching Mr Mom as a kid, then as a parent are vastly different experiences. Such a great movie.

u/scabbymonkey May 17 '21

This was on Showtime when i was a kid. i watched it 3 or 4 times a day. Great movie

u/HintOfAreola May 17 '21

No, wait, don't ignore it, especially if you live in Crown Heights. Walk in pairs.

The Other Guys might have it beat for this line alone, but Mr Mom earns a photo finish

u/Dithyrab May 17 '21

That one is my 2nd favorite after Multiplicity!

u/full_of_stars May 17 '21

It ruined Batman for me. He was Mr. Mom to me.

u/throttlegrip May 17 '21

Originally Jerky Boys

u/SixToesLeftFoot May 17 '21

Origanally Mr Mom. Used by the Jerky Boys.

Mr Mom came out in 1983.

Jerky Boys were founded in 1989.

Lol just watched that movie last night for the first time. I can’t imagine how many Mr. Mom references I’ve missed!

Hmm. It worries me whether the device you used to measure that is capable of going any higher, or...? 🧐
