I really loved this movie when I was 12 but the more I see it the less funny it becomes for some reason. It's not as if that I find this sort of comedy crap these days, though (I still think "Ah! That's amusing" but I don't really laugh). Maybe I've seen it far too many times. UK TV channels seem to have scheduled it for every single holiday over the last 10 years. Meself, I prefer "Secret Agent" - written and directed by the same blokes (Zucker and Zucker and... someone else) but baffingly underrated and overlooked.

"I want to know everything that's happened up to now." "Well, first the Earth cooled, and then the dinosaurs came, but they got too big and fat, so they died, and they turned into oil, and then the Arabs came and they got Mercedes-Benzes! And then Prince Charles started wearing all of Lady Diana's clothes! I couldn't believe it! He just..."

Also, from the sequel: "That's _exactly_ what they're _expecting_ us to do." Which has fallen into my standard repertoire of comments.

the "i've got a drinking problem" gag is always good for a larf if you don't mind dribbling down your shirt a bit.

what about that awesome sight gag in "Top Secret" where the German officer has his boots up on the desk & he gets up & walks across the rm & the boots are still on the desk...OK you had to be there for that one...but OK how bout in the same scene he gets a phone call from the hospital & he's going "I see. Well, let me know if there's any change in his condition." THen he hangs up the phone & announces "He's dead".

One of the slightly more bizarre experiences in my high school days was us watching a copy of Top Secret in Spanish class. Yes, it was dubbed into Spanish.

The scene in 'Top Secret' where Val Kilmer faints under torture, starts hallucinating that he's back in high school, wakes up and sighs "Thank god that was just a dream" even though he's still being tortured

Top Secret is fucking brilliant.

"In women's tennis I always root against the heterosexual"
"My name is Hilary. It means she's who's breasts defy gravity."

And there's always the gag of saying "I'll miss you most of all scarecrow!"

Guitar playing woman + drip being knocked out. My god I thought I'd die when I saw that.

Also "Son, have you ever been in a Jap POW camp?"
