Uncle Rico stuck in 1982. Actually pretty much every main character in the movie stuck in that era.

Napoleon's grandmothe rpronouncing kay suh dilla

Kip being flippin 32.

Napoleon's just jealous cos Kip talks to hot babes on the internet all day.

(Remember making those keychains?)

If you vote for Pedro, your wildest dreams will come true.

The poofy sleeves with Cyndi Lauper playing in the background.

The killing of the cow.

WHY did Napoleon know there was bleach in the milk?

LAFAWNDAH!!!!!!!

This is my favorite!

I agree that you have to see it at least twice to fully appreciate the humor. My boyfriend saw it for the first time and thought it was funny, but didn't really get it. It's been about a week since he's seen it and he wants to see it again because he'll randomly remember great parts like:

Deb: And here we have some boondoggle key chains. A must-have for this season's fashion.

Napoleon Dynamite: I already made like infinity of those at scout camp.

I thought some of the things in this movie were totally random but it was hilarious.

Kip: Your just jealous because I've been chatting with babes on the internet all day



Deb: Is anyone else home? I'm trying to save money for college
Kip: Your mom goes to college

The chickens with large talons are hands-down my favorite part of this movie.

I love this movie! :) You definitely have to have a certain type of sense of humor to like it.

This movie wasn't that bad, in terms of stupid humor I preferred Dodgeball to this movie but whatever.

What I can't stand however is everyone and their mom quoting it...STILL! It's not funny anymore guys, and it wasn't that funny to begin with anyway so QUIT RIGHT NOW OMGWTFGOFBBQ!!!!!!!! :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: ;)

I loved this movie - it is one of my all time favourites.

4 out of the 9 fraternities that did Greek Sing skits this last Friday had Napoleon Dynomite references... or that was the entire theme of the performance. I saw two complete "Canned Heat/Vote 4 Pedro" dances and a full on Happy hands routine. Overdone but everyone in the audience still proceeded to laugh.

I just saw this movie for the first time the other weekend. It was so much better than I thought it would be! I was afraid I would be disappointed by it like I was Anchorman (nowhere as funny as everyone made it out to be). I am also tired of everyone quoting it as well.

There is NO WAY that Dodgeball is better than Napoleon Dynamite. The only thing I really "quote" from Napoleon Dynamite is when he says "Gosh" lol. I looooooooove Napoleon Dynamite!! Woohoo...lol.

Just saw it.

Worst movie ever.

I Loooooved this movie. It was hilarious!!!!
It was so stupid, it was funny.

One of my favorite parts was when kip was demonstrating how tough the plastic bowl was, and he ran over it with the van and it broke and he just drove off LOL!!!! Well Ithought that part was funny.

When I watched it, I kept thinking "This has the potential to get funny...any second now, they're just going to throw a zinger out there, and it will be hilarious"...and then the credits started rolling and I was thinking "WTF?? What just happened?"

Ditto.

The only part that made me laugh out loud was during his dance, I noticed that he was wearing snow boots.

That's it.
