History Funny / TropicThunder

** It’s easy to miss, but when Kirk is about to announce the winner all the nominees are pictured behind him, and to the upper left we see that Creator/TomHanks is nominated for what appears to be a very Oscar-baity movie where he playes a wheelchair-bound athlete.

'''Kirk:''' That shit ain't funny.

--->'''Kirk''': Any tips? Any tips you got? (''beat; snatches map from Tugg'') Gimme that goddamn map! FUCK YOU!

'''Tugg:''' ...retarded. Like, really retarded.
--->'''Kirk:''' Damn!
--->'''Tugg:''' In a weird way, I had to sort of just free myself up to believe that it was okay to be stupid or dumb.
--->'''Kirk:''' To be a moron.
--->'''Tugg:''' Yeah!
--->'''Kirk:''' To be moronical.
--->'''Tugg:''' Exactly, to be a moron.
--->'''Kirk:''' An imbecile.
--->'''Tugg:''' Yeah!
--->'''Kirk:''' Like the dumbest motherfucker that ever lived.
--->'''Tugg:''' (''pause'') When I was playing the character.
--->'''Kirk:''' When you was the character.
--->'''Tugg:''' Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, as Jack. Definitely.
--->'''Kirk:''' Jack. Stupid-ass Jack.

--->''(Alpa and Lazarus watches Tugg perform a scene at gunpoint)''
--->'''Alpa:''' Damn! I thought the movie was bad!
--->'''Kirk:''' To the man's credit, he's actually eased up on the retard throttle. And now that's added a balance, and the audience can connect.

-->'''Tugg''': I killed one, Rick...the thing I love most in the world.
-->'''Rick Peck''': A hooker. Oh Jesus, you killed a hooker!

-->'''Jeff:''' (As he chases the bat) No! No, that's my jelly beans! (Falls to the ground) No, shit...!
-->'''Alpa:''' Yo man, I got a Bust A Nut.
-->'''Jeff:''' ''You go to Hell!!''

-->'''Tugg (in ''Simple Jack'' footage)''': You ma-ma-ma ma-ma-ma-ma-make me happy!
-->'''Maria''': But now the question is, can Speedman ma-ma-make audiences happy?

--->'''Tyra Banks:''' You have no real family. You're on the wrong side of forty, you're childless and alone. Someone close to you said "One more flop, and it's ''over''."
--->''({{Beat}})''
--->'''Tugg Speedman:''' [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Somebody said they were close to me?]]

--->'''Tugg:''' Not bad Cockburn! Where ever you are!\\

-->'''Kirk''': Now you gonna focus up, motherfucker, and say it! "It's me, Tugg!"
-->'''Tugg''': It's me, Tugg.
-->'''Kirk''': That's right! Now Tugg who?!
-->'''Tugg''': Tugg who? I don't know. Who are you?
-->'''Kirk''': Me?! '''I KNOW WHO I AM'''! I'm a dude playin' the dude disguised as another dude! You a dude that don't know what dude he is!
-->'''Tugg''': Or are you the dude who has no idea what dude he is and claims to know what dude he is by playing other dudes?

--->'''Tugg''': We're supposed to be a unit.
--->'''Kirk''': ''Suck'' my unit.

--->'''Tugg:''' There were times while I was doing ''Jack'' where I felt...
--->[pause]
--->'''Tugg:''' ...retarded. Like, really retarded.

-->'''Les:''' You paying attention? I'm talking... G-5, Pecker! That's how you can roll. No more frequent flyer bitch miles for my boy! Oh yeah! Playa! Playa! Big dick playa!
-->'''Rob:''' Swinging past your knees!
-->'''Les:''' Big dick, baby! ''(Turns off music)'' Or you can grow a conscience in the next five minutes and see where that takes you.
-->'''Peck:''' LetMeGetThisStraight You want me to let my client of fifteen years, one of my best friends, die in the jungle alone for some money and a G-5?
-->'''Les:''' [[BluntYes Yes]].
-->'''Peck:''' ''({{Beat}})'' [[DoubleTake A G-5 airplane?]]
-->'''Les:''' Yes. And ''lots'' of money. ''Playaaa...'' ''(Turns music back on)''
-->'''Rob:''' Yeah! Smack it up, flip it, rub it down! Whoooaaa!

-->'''Kevin:''' Hey Jeff, what are you doing?
-->'''Jeff:''' FUCKING! Nothing, man, it's jelly, I'm eating Jelly Beans!
-->'''Kevin:''' Ohhh..Wow I love Jelly Beans, can I have..?
-->'''Jeff:''' NO, YOU CAN'T HAVE ANY FUCKING JELLY BEANS!! They're mine. You think you're the only one who gets sick when he doesn't have his Jelly Beans? Boundaries, man, fuck.

-->'''Kevin:''' Jeff, you're just gonna have to tough it out.
-->'''Jeff:''' '''''Your mother's a cankerous whore!!!''''' [{{Beat}}] [[MoodWhiplash Hey, remember that time I called your mother a cankerous whore? I'm sorry. I didn't mean that.]]

-->'''Jeff:''' Alpa, if you untie me I will literally suck your dick right now.
-->'''Alpa:''' I told you, for the last time, I love the pussy!
-->'''Jeff:''' [[UnusualEuphemism I'll cradle the balls, stroke the shaft, work the pipe, and swallow the gravy.]] Get it over here, buddy, let's do this.

** And before that, [[spoiler:Cockburn's]] RousingSpeech and BlasphemousBoast ("The chopper is God! And I am Jesus Christ, His son! And you are my chosen disciples!") is funny in a BlackComedy sort of way, considering [[LudicrousGibs what happens to him]] IMMEDIATELY afterward...

-->'''Tugg:''' Not bad Cockburn! Where ever you are!
-->'''Kirk:''' [[ChunkySalsaRule I think he's all over the place.]]

-->'''Scout''': They have no fear of death.

---> '''Tugg''': I'm a rooster illusion.
---> '''Kevin''': (''{{Beat}}''). [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere Fuck it.]]

-->'''Alpa''': Why am I in this movie? Maybe it's because I knew I had to represent. They had one good role for a black man, and they gave it to Film/CrocodileDundee!
-->'''Kirk''': (''[[BerserkButton stops smiling]]'') Pump your brakes, kid. That man's a national treasure.
-->'''Alpa''': I just wanna throw another shrimp on your barbie.
-->'''Kirk''': That shit ain't funny.
-->'''Alpa''': I'm just messin' with you, Film/KangarooJack. [[Film/EvilAngels I'm so sorry a dingo ate your baby!]]
-->'''Kirk''': Y'know, that's a true story? Lady lost her kid. You 'bout to cross some fuckin' lines!

* [[spoiler:[[DeusExMachina Peck saving the day]] by delivering a [=TiVo=] as promised. The way he escapes by running unnaturally quickly away is nothing short of hilarious.]]
-->'''Sandusky''': [[FlatWhat What the fuck?]]

-->'''Grossman''': And who here is the key grip?\\

-->'''Kirk''': Cover me!
-->'''Kevin''': How do we cover him?
* At the end of the movie, when [[spoiler: Tugg wins the "Best Actor" Oscar]], the look on Creator/JonVoight's face (and what he's obviously saying under the crowd noise) is a gem.

* The opening scene is all kinds of glamourized Vietnam War movie levels of epic... Until Tugg has trouble working up tears during the emotional bit, and Kirk is ''over''-emoting, at which Tugg breaks character and asks for some direction, causing unmitigated awkwardness as the scene keeps trying to continue properly: The camera isn't even rolling anymore, a boom mic drifts into view breaking Tugg's concentration, the supporting cast start slacking off in the helicopter rig in the background, Alpa takes a call on his cell, Jeff gets uncomfortable with his stunt harness, Kirk storms off to pee, and finally [[https://youtu.be/Mhu2Ij0rWCQ Cody blows the spectacular napalm effects way too early.]]

-->'''Tugg''': Enough from the peanut gallery, into the water, ladies!
-->'''Kirk''': No, no, no, man, lemme take a look at the map real quick.
-->'''Tugg''': Why is everybody obsessed with the map?
-->'''Kirk''': 'Cause we're tired of bein' your trail donkeys! Actin' like you some one-man GPS! [[SuddenlyShouting GOD DAMN IT!]] ''WE LOST!'' We fuckin' super lost, man!!! ''(turns to Kevin)'' Tell him, [=McClusky=], tell him what time it is!
-->'''Tugg''': I don't believe you people!
-->'''Kirk''': Hut! What do you mean 'you people'?
-->'''Alpa''': ... What do ''YOU'' mean, 'you people'?!?
-->'''Kirk''': Huh?!

-->'''Kirk''': I'm a '''LEAD FARMER [[ThisIsForEmphasisBitch MOTHERFUCKER]]!'''

* When Alpa [[spoiler:accidentally outs himself]] to the guys at the campfire:
-->'''Kirk:''' When you wrote 'I Love Tha Pussy,' was you thinking about danglin' your dice on [[spoiler:Lance's]] forehead?

-->'''Les:''' Yes. And ''lots'' of money. ''Playaaa...''' ''(Turns music back on)''

* The entire movie was a Funny Moment, but special mention goes to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IEBL-k_vF0E Les Grossman]].
-->'''Les:''' Oh, okay, Flaming Dragon. Fuckface. First, take take a big step back, and literally '''''[[SuddenlyShouting FUCK]]''''' '''[[SuddenlyShouting YOUR OWN FACE]]'''! Now, I don't know what kind of pan-Pacific bullshit power play you're trying to pull here, but Asia, jack, is my territory, so whatever you're thinking, you better think again because otherwise I'm gonna have to head down there and I will rain down an ungodly fucking firestorm upon you! [[ClusterFBomb You're gonna have to call the fucking United Nations to get a fucking binding resolution to keep me from fucking destroying you! I am talking scorched earth, motherfucker! I will massacre you!]] '''''[[AtomicFBomb I WILL FUCK YOU UP!]]'''''

* Creator/RobertDowneyJr's in-character DVD commentary is ''priceless''. ("Remember when you told [Brandon Jackson] to slap me all goddamn day, Ben? I remember. Like it was fuckin' yesterday.") He even switches to an Australian accent when Kirk has an identity crisis and realizes he is not any of his characters.

** "He ain't playing God...He's being judged by Him."

-->'''Kirk''': Whop! What do you mean 'you people'?

--->'''Tugg Speedman:''' Somebody said they were close to me?

* The scene by the river.
-->'''Kirk''': We lost! WE FUCKIN' SUPER LOST, MAN!
** Kirk then distracts Tugg by asking him how he keeps in shape before snatching the map from him. Classic Lazarus.
--->'''Kirk''': Any tips? Any tips you got? (''beat; snatches map from Tugg'') Gimme that goddamn map! FUCK YOU!
** Followed shortly by:
--->'''Tugg''': We're supposed to be a unit.
--->'''Kirk''': ''Suck'' my unit.

-->'''Alpa''': I'm just messin' with you, Film/KangarooJack. I'm so sorry a dingo ate your baby!

'''Key Grip:''' [''Calmly walks up to Damien''] Sorry, man. [''Delivers a single epic punch to Damien's nose'']\\
