Let’s admit it, we all have a compartment in our brains where we keep all the fun stuff that we’ve once heard, read, or seen. Inside that compartment, there’s a smaller one dedicated entirely to funny movie quotes that, undoubtedly, opens up like Pandora’s box at the most inconvenient of times. Let’s say it’s your first day at a new job and you suddenly decide to greet someone with ‘Oh hi, Mark!’ Or maybe it’s your kid’s pet fish’s funeral, and somehow you choose to yell out ‘Hasta La Vista, baby!’ And God forbid you’ve decided to greet a cashier with Valar Morgulis, and now they think a public place is not where you are supposed to be. I, for one, upon hearing the word Royal, always, without even thinking, add in ‘with cheese’, and it is especially un-funny when the talk is about a real-life Queen. Well, funny to me because I know what I’m quoting, so it’s like an inside joke with myself.

We do not doubt that upon reading some of these funny quotes, you will feel a massive surge of nostalgia for the movies you watched decades ago, like Airplane!, Legally Blonde, and Ace Ventura. Thankfully, there’s this thing called the internet now, where you can always find your beloved movies to watch and re-watch them again and again. But the newer classics aren’t that far from these legends with quotable material, so you’ll also find hilarious quotes from Napoleon Dynamite, Guardians of the Galaxy, and 21 Jump Street. From very old movies to the newest, from comedies to thrillers, there’s always a witty quote that you just might use at one point or another.

So, dust off your brain compartment labeled ‘funny movie quotes,’ make some space for new material, and delve into our Compendium of Hilarity. Give your vote for one of these famous quotes, and don’t forget to tell your friends that fetch will never happen if they don’t read this article.

    It's true though, for centuries people believed lamb was grown as a plant (Google lamb of Tartary). Since it was considered a plant, it could be eaten during meat fasts. Of course, now it's been debunked, but it's an interesting concept!
