I watched this again last night for the first time in a few years. Freaking hilarious, full of many life truths, and contains quite possibly the best moment in console gaming history.

Vince Vaughn to Jon Favreau:
"Hey Mikey, do you want to see Wayne Gretzky's head bleed?"

The sad thing is that you probably went to look this up just to make this sh!tty trolling attempt.

Exactly. What is wrong with revisiting a movie every now and again? I saw this movie in 1996 (whenever it was released on VHS) and was shocked to find that I enjoy it just as much now as I did then.

It was a weak troll.

We watched this movie just a couple weeks ago and still love it.

Mike: What the f*ck are you carrying a gun for? What, in case somebody steps to you, Snoop Dogg?
Sue: Hey man, you're not from here, alright. You don't know how it is. I grew up in L.A.
Trent: Anaheim.
Sue: Whatever, man. It's different out here. It's not like New York, Mikey.

I could be missing some of the dialog but of course you cannot leave out...

Trent: What? Like House of Pain was going to do anything?

The part where they are playing Sega Genesis hockey brings back so many dorm memories. We would play sports games all the time and jaw at each other just like those guys. 'That's BS(censored! :p) man! The game bleeped me!' / 'Here, watch the instant replay and I'll show you it wasn't BS'

Memories of Tecmo, NBA Jam come flooding back :D

Dude girls will melt in your hands if you bust out a few swing moves. even if you just met them out at the bar or a regular club. they eat it up.

The best part was the part at the end when he's on the phone with his ex and Heather Graham calls him back. He switches to Heather, asks her to hold and says he wants to talk to her.

*switch back to ex*
favreau - Yeah, I'm sorry, I really have to take this call.
ex - Aw. But I really wanted to talk to you, is it important?
favreau - yeah yeah it is. look, i gotta go.
ex - oh okay then, I love y
*switch back to Heather*

I'm sure I totally butchered that conversation, but the end is the important part.

I dunno, but Jon Favreau and Vince Vaughn met and teamed up for Swingers on the set of Rudy.

I've been recommending this movie anytime someone complains about girl troubles...

It should be the guys Bible on dealing with girls ;)
