Funny / Pink Flamingos

• If you can watch the whole thing (Seriously, we dare you), its mere existence is hilarious. Large Ham acting, ridiculous fashion tastes, Camp, it's worth every minute.
  • Divine herself, even.
  • "You know who I am, bitch! I'm The Filthiest Person Alive!"
• Egg paranoia. 'Nuff said.
• Divine's reaction to getting a turd as a birthday present.
  Divine: OH MY GOD ALMIGHTY, SOMEONE HAS SENT ME A BOWEL MOVEMENT!!!
  (after a few lines)
  Crackers: Nobody sends you a turd and expects to live!
  • There's also the look on her face after Cotton reads the birthday card that addressed her as 'Fatso'.
  • "I'll handle this. (Turns to her mother, who hasn't said a word) Mother, shut up."
    • The package containing the turd was addressed to "Babs Johnson: A trailer, Baltimore, Maryland."
• The entire execution scene:
  Crackers: (While throwing tar on Connie and Raymond, both tied to a tree) Burn my momma's house down will ya? You goddamn worm! Fuckin' piece of lousy shit!
  Divine: AND NOW FOR THE FEATHERS!! Only we're not going to run you out of town, we're going to kill you! Kill kill kill! Shoot shoot shoot! Questions and answers!
  Reporter 1: Do you believe in God?
  Divine: I am God!
  Crackers: You are God!
  Cotton: You are God!
  (Both laugh)
  Mr. Goldstein: Is there no wrong?
  Divine: There is right, and there is wrong. I have never been wrong, Mr. Goldstein!
  Mr. Kazan: Do you hope to get new followers with this publicity?
  Divine: I certainly hope so, Mr. Kazan! I didn't invite you here to jerk off, you know! Get this all down! Don't miss one single word!
  Mr. Vader: What if we decide to not print this story, Miss Divine? What then?
  Divine: Oh, Mr. Vader! See them? (Indicates Connie and Raymond) Does that answer your question? I have your address, and I know you have a wife and child, is that correct?
  Mr. Vader: Yes.
  Divine: Well, if nothing is printed, we might be in the mood for a barbecue. Get what I mean? A HUMAN barbeque! End of questions and answers period! Proceed with the executions! They are finished, and a lovely couple they are! Aren't they? Gentelmen of the press, get ready because you are about to witness the biggest news event of the year! LIVE HOMICIDE!
  (points gun at Raymond)
  Divine: Connie and Raymond Marble, you have breathed your last breath! You have sighed your last sigh! You are no longer ALIVE!
  (shoots Raymond, points gun at Connie)
  Divine: Connie Marble, you stand convicted of ASSHOLISM! The proper punishment will now take place. Look pretty for the picture, Connie! That's it!
  (Shoots Connie)
  Divine: No further questions, no further pictures! I HAVE SPOKEN!
  Mr. Goldstein: Thanks for the scoop, Divine! Next month's sales should be booming!
  Divine: Thank you for coming!
  Mr. Kazan: Always count on her for a story, I can tell you that!
• The Marbles catch Channing dressed up as Connie and Raymond, imitating their overheard conversations. One wonders how the hell he can recall all their past dialogues so seamlessly. Must've read the script...
• The entire speech Divine Gives to the tabloid reporters:
  Mr. Vader: Divine, are you a lesbian?
  Babs: Yes, I have done everything!
  Mr. Vader: Does blood turn you on?
  Babs: It does more than turn me on, Mr. Vader, it makes me cum! And more than the sight of it, I love the taste of it, the taste of hot freshly killed blood!
  Mr. Vader: Could you give us some of your political beliefs?
  Babs: Kill everyone now! Condone first degree murder! Advocate cannibalism! Eat shit! Filth are my politics, filth is my life!
• Indeed, the fact that this movie is listed in 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die is quite funny; even funnier is the fact it got inducted to the National Film Registry in 2021; and even funnier than that is the film being added to The Criterion Collection in 2022.
• The trailer for this movie shows the reactions of various audience members who saw it in theaters. One says it's "better than Cries and Whispers" (an extremely serious and sad drama by Ingmar Bergman), as if these two films are even remotely in the same ballpark.
  • A random hand shoving their middle finger towards the camera.
  • A Camp Gay moviegoer comments, "I think it's the future of City. Living." Even better is he looks like he stepped out of a John Waters film himself.
  • This lady: "It's a little gross, but I liked it." Then followed by this man: "It was, uh, really the grossest thing I've seen".
