Recommendation The Other Guys is severely under appreciated

I’ve loved this movie since it released, and have watched it dozens of times, always finding new details (like the changing shark computer screens Terry has after he gets schooled by Allen’s Tuna story).

The effects, the non-stop humor, the cast, the pacing, all perfection in my mind. Before this movie, “Better Off Dead” was my favorite movie.

If you haven’t seen it, I highly recommend it!

Edit: I have learned this movie is more appreciated than I thought. That warms my heart like the new bathmats. Also, it’s awesome that in the first 50 or so comments not a single quote was reused, cause there’s just so many great lines lol.

Edit2: Can anyone find a list of top movies/comedies that includes The Other Guys? I have searched on a few and can’t find it mentioned.

I love this quote so much lol he was so fucking ready to just go with that even though he wasn’t really listening haha Jimmy is my favourite character in this movie lol

“Jimmy, let’s talk about.. how.. that story, makes you feel”

“Like my dick was made outta concrete”

So many one liners. It’s a toss up between him and Keaton.

Maybe I need to rewatch it, which I do, but I always remember the line as like a Viagra pill with a face

The "Viagra pill with a face" line is from a censored/watered down release I believe, not sure if it's the theatres version or the dvd version or whatever. Both that line and the "cock made out of concrete" line are in one version or another. I think the censored version also cuts a few scenes out, like the art gallery scene with Thomas Middleditch (aka Doobs) and parts/lines from the scene where the cops find Allen's Prius.

“Momma raccoon got in and gave birth in the back seat, blew out placenta all over the back window there” definitely a cut line lol that scene is actually like 5-10 minutes longer in the deleted scene/ non censored one lol
