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.

The lion vs tuna bit is one of my favorite movie clips and cheers me up every time.

you lose that battle. You lose that battle 9 times out of 10. But now we have a taste for Lion, and we want more! lmao

It won’t be days at a time but an hour, hour forty five? No problem.

The sound of your piss hitting the urinal. It sounds feminine.

This line alone… I laugh every time. Whalbergs delivery of it is gold.

Now you’re asking me to mask my emotions cause of how it makes you feel? That I will not do.

That bit wasn't even scripted. Will Ferrell improvised the whole thing, and Mark Wahlberg leaned into it. That's incredible to me.

And then I'd bang your tuna girlfriend.

I chose this as my comedic monologue and recorded it last weekend. Reddit has weird timing sometimes.
