Brothy's 2 Favorite Scenes :
1. The Butcher shop scene, when Mike Myers shows how hilarious meat can be "Excuse Me, Could you get the school nurse. I had an accident in shop class."
2. Dad's Rant about the "Pentaverate" - "It's a little know fact, Sonny Jim, that there is a secret society made up of the 5 wealthiest people in the world who control everything, including the newspapers, that meat tri-annually at a secret mansion in Colorado know as 'The Meadows.'" "Who's on this Pentaverate?" "The Gettys, the Rothchilds, The Queen, the Vatican, and Colonel Sanders before he went tets up. Oh, I hated the colonel with his wee beady eyes, 'Oh, you're gonna eat my chicken.'" "Dad how could you hate the Colonel." "Because, he puts an addictive chemical in his chicken that makes you crave it fortnightly, smart ____!"
Brothy's Opinion in a Nutshell : This movie is great. It is usually not appreciated on the first viewing. I didn't get it or like it at first, but after a while it grows on you and you can't help but quote it constantly. The lines from this movie come in handy in our daily lives, as well. Watch it a few times you will see what I mean.
