Funniest *Audience* Comments at F9/11?

[Unperson 309]

think Rocky Horror Picture Show! Our theatre had a couple of wits in the audience and it was to the film's benefit.

Funniest comment I heard was when Ashcroft was singing... As he finished the song, one of the people in the audience said (rather loudly) "Hey, Buddy! Don't quit your day job!" and his pal on the other side of the auditorium replied (just as loudly) "NEXT!"

Got quite a laugh!

Perhaps we should compile a list of funny comments from the "peanut gallery" for future showings!

Another good one from the wits in the room was (in a little child voice) "Why is his nose growing, Mommy?" during one of *'s speeches.

1. After Wolfowitz Sucks His Comb . . .

somebody said,"Oh look, it's Dracula!" Got quite a few laughs. I was the one who said it.

[ET Awful]

4. I got a good laugh from the same scene with . . .

"Isn't that like a kiss by proxy?" after the aide touched his hair then Wolfie spit in it again :).

[Catch22Dem]

5. Did you say "sucks his comb?"

I've not heard that yet. What happened?

[clydefrand]

8. One of the most disgusting

scenes in the movie for me was when Wolfowitz pulls out his comb and passes it between his lips to get enough saliva to "wet" his hair. Gross! I always thought he needed a good shampoo, but I didn't know he couldn't afford more than a dime store comb and spit! Yuck!

[Danieljay]

49. oops...deleted n/t

[Hoping4Change]

10. wolfoshitz sticks his comb down his throat to wet it so he

can run the wet tool through his greasy hair.

[Kahuna]

16. And then puts it in his mouth again AFTER he runs it through his hair..

YUCKO! :puke: What a nasty old man.

[teach1st]

24. Yuck!

[Oddman]

54. eeeeeeewwwwwww!

Truly disgusting!!!!!

2. When Cheney appeared on screen

someone in the theatre--maybe it wss me?--yelled "Go Fuck Yourself!"

[Aviation Pro]

18. Should be said in unison....

....like in Rocky Horror Picture Show (RHPS) when everyone says, "say it!"

[Sterling]

21. Yes DU should start scripting the audience parts now.

Every time cheney comes on screen we shout "Go fuck yourself"!!!

[ALago1]

3. The guy behind me sounded like he was having an orgasm...

He sat in back of me and obviously did not know any of the shocking facts presented in the film. So every time Moore made a shocking revelation, you just heard:

"Jesus Christ!" in a very enthusiastic manner.

This happened probably 40 times during the film.

I got a kick out of it.

[Melodybe]

7. When Condi first came on screen my husband said...

"I didn't know Skeletor was in this movie."

That made me laugh.

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

29. LOL! HAHAHAHAHA,,, Ha... *gasp*

THAT is funny.

[abelenkpe]

48. at the screening I attended

when Condi first appeared everyone hissed. I guess she doesn't have a big fan club.

[Tight_rope]

39. I'm sure Kerry can count on that guys vote!...n't

[unblock]

6. to ashcroft's singing, "thaht was ahbsolutely dreadful"

in my best simon cowan.

[clydefrand]

12. Actually, I said that was one of the

best things that I had heard come out of his lying mouth. That isn't saying much for him, I know.

[Nay]

9. In our theater (Richmond, VA), we were all anxious to see the

film and the previews seemed to go on forever. Finally it looked like they were going to show F 9/11, but it was yet another preview. Some guy stood up and hollered, " Get Bush out of the projection room!"

We all died laughing.

[Kahuna]

17. That was a good one.

LOL!

[Tight_rope]

41. ROTFLMBAO!....that's a damn good one!

[LowerManhattanite]

11. The audience I saw it with had a collective reaction...

...during the scene with Bush at the school on 9-11. Here it is as best I can recall it.

After about 40-50 seconds a guy in the rear of the theater mutters "Damn."

Some rustling and shifting of seats and then after another 40 seconds another person whispers "Jesus...he's just sittin' there."

20 seconds later another guy goes "Yo...how can he just sit there?"

About 20 seconds after that there is a low murmur in the crowd as the seconds tick by punctuated by an quiet "Oh my God" from a woman.

The murmur rises as Bush sits there and a guy from behind and to my left very audibly hisses "Motherfucker!"

Now the murmur is a building din with smatterings of "I don't believe this", "Does he have a clue" and "I can't believe he did that".

The scene ends and the din fades but the audience tension is now palpable. Had that scene gone on much longer, people would have probably thrown things at the screen. Kinda scary.

[clydefrand]

14. This is certainly the part that

angered me the most.

[1monster]

22. Just imagine if Moore had the entire 20 minutes that Bush just sat there

in the film???? If seven minutes seemed interminable, what would 20 minutes have felt like?

[Unperson 309]

30. I Forgot that bit...

During the long 7 minute scene, one audience member muttered to his partner (and was overheard, to many snickers) "Jeeze! I though it was only Right Wing RADIO that had a seven minute delay!"

Referring, of course, to the six minute time delay on live broadcasts so that quick fingers can "bleep" out on-air obscenities from host or callers.

We were blessed with several truly funny folks in that theatre. best. Audience. EVER!

309

[spooked]

51. I wish Moore had done a split screen

showing the WTC towers with time stamps on Bush and the towers to show what those poor desperate people were going through during those minutes!!

[southernleftylady]

52. OH that would have been very moving! ...

righties say "7 minutes isnt long at all" but if it was your family memebers in there 7 minutes is a life time!
I cant imagine sitting there for that long.. that would have made a HUGE impact

[Oddman]

56. Think of your house being on fire and waiting 7 minutes

before you go in and try to save someone - 7 minutes in a situation like that is an eternity!


Wolfospitz

[kat21]

61. I've heard several people state the same thing

Either that or to show him for the whole seven minutes for people to get the idea just how long a time it is to just sit there while your country is under attack.

[auburnblu]

13. Somebody yelled

"Bet Michael Moore is donating all the profits from this to charity, because he doesn't believe in anybody being too rich".

Hmmmm, he seems to hate capitalism, maybe he'll donate money to his kid's private school. But I give him all the credit for creating a film a lot of people want to go see. The guy can create a buzz. Can't stand him, but if I were him I would do a film on Enron, corporate scandals.

[Hoping4Change]

19. That he "hates" capitalism is to overstate which is what RW

does. Wanting regulations in the marketplace is not inconsistent with Capitalism. Michael Moore comments on this in the film The Corporation which is about to be released. Link to trailer.

[freeforall]

47. What??? You guys haven't seen The Corporation yet??!!!

Wow, it's been and gone about a month now in Canada.

It's fantastic! This is another must see. You're in for a treat.

[Tuttle]

26. I love it when the righties get all shook up over free enterprise

It reminds me how they also hate it when a coffin is shown on TV (unless Reagan is inside it).

Tut-tut

[Unperson 309]

31. THAT would be a funny interjection...

During the scene with the coffins on the plane, for someone to ask "Which one of those has REAGAN in it? None? THAT's why they won't show them!"

309

[Th1onein]

37. I don't know much about Michael Moore, but I do know this:

Michael Moore organized a sham funeral at the entrance to an insurance companies office, that was denying a man with pancreatic cancer coverage for a transplant. Because of this pressure, the insurance company capitulated and paid for the man's transplant.

You can slice Michael Moore up any fuckin' way you want to my friend, but to me? THIS is decency, THIS is honor, THIS is integrity. And more power TO the fat man!

[HootieMcBoob]

40. What makes you think that?

:dunce:

[Tight_rope]

44. I agree with you...I live in Houston and I want to see the Enron scandal

on screen for the world to see!

[ShaneGR]

15. It's weird, in my sold-out theatre there was no commentary...

People laughed and I thought towards the end of the silent 9/11 attack part I heard someone crying, but other than that there was no yelling of direct commentary.

At the end everyone stood up and clapped. It was an amazing and a sobering experience. The truth is, the vast majority of the American Population have also been shocked and awed by the last few years.

[lovedems]

28. That was how it was where I went.

There were moments of applause, like when the soldier who normally voted republican but was going to actively work for the democrats this year...moments like that and the audience would applaud and hoot and holler. No comments though.

[Sterling]

20. Maybe it will turn into a RHPS type event.

That would ad a long life to the film. I would go. Maybe in a few months thats what it will be.

[sistersofmercy]

23. I honestly can't remember any funny comments but

people sitting in front of me had stickers on their shirts that read, "W, you're fired!" I got a good chuckle out of that one.
Also, when MM is talking about Ashcroft and how he couldn't even beat a dead guy in his bid for the Senate, the audience including myself went crazy clapping and hooting here in St Louis. It was a totally nature reaction.

[ignatius]

63. My friend wore a shirt with a picture of GW that said American

Psycho.

I saw the film last night,southside of Indianapolis in beer drinking,red neck territory. It was 90% full,the crowd was great laughing at the appropriate times, saying oh shit a lot at the shocking(to non Duers) parts and an ovation at the end. It was awesome to see so many people finally seeing the light of truth.

I noticed quite a few of twenty-somethings..maybe the fear of a draft has finally got them worked up.

When MM tried to get the senators to enlist their kids, seemed to get the biggest laugh and the 9-11 scenes brought the most gasps.

Thanks Michael for putting together visually a film that will make many people open their minds and their eyes to the truth all around them.

[Zomby Woof]

25. I wish people would stop the Rocky Horror comparisons

It insults and demeans Moore's great work.

I prefer a MST3K comparison, albeit for a good movie, rather than a bad B flick.

[KittyWampus]

34. Zomby, Zomby, Zomby...

RHPS showed and still shows kids that it's okay to be a "freak".

That was a big deal not too far back in my memory.

Campy as all get out... but there's still a Message.

"Don't Dream It. Be It."

[ContinentalOp]

38. WHAT? How dare you insult RHPS?

:) Seriously, the comparison to RHPS in no way insults or demeans F911. The truth is people will still love and watch RHPS long after F911 has ceased to be politically relevant. The exciting part about going to see F911 in the theater is that it felt like an "Event." There was a real buzz and electricity in the audience and a lot of genuine and spontaneous audience reaction. DUers already knew all of the facts presented in F911 and we discuss them here every day in a somewhat detached and impersonal venue. But to go see the things we talk about laid out on the big screen in a crowd full of like-minded folks was a totally different feeling. And I don't think it's too much of a stretch to compare that to the feeling of community generated by RHPS.

(edited for overly breathless run-on sentences)

[Guaranteed]

27. When * says, "After all, this is the guy who tried to kill my dad"

somebody yelled out "WHO CARES??" LOL

[Sparkly]

32. When Chimp said he's "pained" at soldiers' deaths

the man next to my husband said, "Yeah RIGHT."

[EstimatedProphet]

33. Very weird!

I yelled "Don't quit your day job!"
Are you in Orlando?

[devilgrrl]

35. the "pfffft" done in unison when Brittany Spears came on screen...

that was amusing. It made me wonder how she was ever famous to begin with.

[hope42mro]

53. Ditto for our theatre! ahhhh, good times

[nini]

36. 'Jesus Christ!! He's as bad as LUCIFER!!'

yelled this at Bush somewhere along the line.

When Condi was first shown it was "BITCH"


there were quite a few good laughs here and there

[Tight_rope]

42. When Brittian come on someone yelled shut-up slut!

[misanthrope]

43. We had the best...

..comments at our showing...which was "none at all."

We were lucky enough to share a theater with a mostly full house of intelligent, conscientious, and respectful moviegoers. That was as refreshing as the film.

[ALago1]

46. Ah, I see

So any active participation automatically knocks down one's intelligence a few IQ points?

Thanks, I never knew that before.

[Oddman]

58. That's too bad - our theatre crowd was really affected by the movie

and could not hold it in. And I was happy for it. I'll go see it again to see the things I didn't see! But I especially want ot see Wolfospitz eat his comb again - that was special!


Wolfospitz

[MadashellLynn]

45. The man behind me

sounded as if he sucked all the air out of the theater when the repub bitch confronted Lila Lipscom,then he said in a very loud deep voice "THAT FUCKING BITCH!". I wouldn't want to be that woman, you know a lot of people will recognize her and give her tons of shit for behaving like such a wretched hag.

[Danieljay]

50. when an (approx) 80 year old woman in front of me

saw footage of Bush and said "What a chickensh*t!". I nearly fell out of my chair.

I've seen the movie three times with different people and am impressed with the number of retirees seeing this film.

[EndElectoral]

55. When Cheyney appeared One guy yelled Go F*** yourself.

[gauguin57]

57. I'm seeing it tomorrow morning

(I'm so excited I will barely sleep tonight! I'm like a kid before Christmas) ... but I live in Republican Hell ... so I don't expect a lot of chatter. But maybe the Dems. here have been put down and made to hide from view for so long that they'll LET ER RIP in the theater! I hope so.

I do think it would be fun to have this turn into Rocky Horror ... the midnight cult classic. I heard one guy in one theater, when Bush was stuck for the next thing he was going to say, yelled, "Spit it out, Dumbass." That sounds SO Rocky Horror to me.

We could throw wet combs and stuffed pet goats at the screen!

[Ivan Zero]

59. After Ashcroft's song

the guy behind me said "Good thing I didn't have lunch first".

[Hoping4Change]

60. ******Don't throw away your F911 ticket stub,*********************

After you go to Fahrenheit 911, mail your ticket stub to Bush with a note "I saw what you did last summer".

George W. Bush
1600 Pennsylvania Ave
Washington DC 20500


(I found this idea on Americanblog.org)

[Bjornsdotter]

66. LOL....Too Funny! n/t

[Cat Atomic]

62. When Conyers said, "do you know what it would entail for us

to read all the bills we vote on?"

A guy in the audience shouted, "your JOB, maybe!?".

Hehehe.

[Kid_A]

64. When MM put that guy's office phone number on the screen

one guy in the theater yelled "I wrote it down!" That got a laugh.

[kat21]

65. It's great that you enjoyed the humor

and while I'm sure some of us might want to lighten things up a bit, I think it's important for those people who are on the fence and any Republicans seeing the movie to see just how serious this is and how serious we are about getting Bush out of office. I've seen the movie twice and never heard any comments yelled out. I think anyone who supports Bush or who isn't sure needs to walk out of the movie feeling shell-shocked.
