Funny / The Wedding Singer

• Robbie pointing out how bad Linda is at communicating.
  Linda: (telling Robbie that she realized she didn't want to marry him AFTER she had already left him at the altar) Oh, yeah - sure! Living in your sister's basement with five kids while you're off every weekend doing wedding gigs at a whoppin' sixty bucks a pop?
  Robbie: Once again, things that could've been brought to my attention YESTERDAY!
• Robbie's nephew Tyler asks if Robbie is going to end up in a mental institution. You get the feeling this joke is going to get a call-back at some point, but the kid has the nerve to do it right after Linda just dumped Robbie, leaving him absolutely devastated and heartbroken. Cut to:
  Tyler: (cheerfully) You're going to the mental institution!
  Robbie: (in a tone suggesting he would love to wring the kid's neck if only this movie wasn't rated PG-13) BEAT IT!!!
• The CD player. The way the actors deliver their lines here makes it even more hilarious.
  Glenn: I got you something! (glances down at the box in his hands, making sure he got the product's name right) It's called a "CD player". It cost me like 700 bucks, but the sound quality's outstanding!
  Julia: (cheerfully) Do you wanna play a record?
  Glenn: (chuckling) No Jules, it doesn't play records, it plays CDs, it's a CD player.
  • This is one of the rare "current technology" jokes that ages well. It was funny in 1998 because everyone had CD players, and so viewers could have a nice "if only they knew" laugh. It's funny now because CD players themselves have long been surpassed by online streaming (and funnily enough, vinyl, again), so many younger viewers are likely to be either just as awestruck as the characters, or laugh at the quaint technology (much as viewers in the '90s laughed at record players).
• Robbie's bitter and angry wedding performance after being stood up by Linda. Especially the "Love Stinks" part.
  • While Robbie's getting beaten up by the aggravated father of the bride, one of the "mutants" is biting on the father's leg.
  • Robbie saying they should get to cutting the cake because "I know the fat guy is gonna have a heart attack if we don't do that soon." Cut to a fat gentleman at his table, surrounded by half empty plates, looking like he's offended, before nodding in silent agreement.
• When Robbie sings "Somebody Kill Me Please", mood swinging from happy to incredibly angry to suicidal.
  • "I just want to warn you when I wrote this song I was listening to The Cure a lot." He wasn't kidding!
• Steve Buscemi delivering an absolutely picture perfect cameo as an utterly blitzed best man... which leads to a hilarious pay-off when he appears as a wedding singer in Robbie and Julia's wedding at the end.
• Jon Lovitz's cameo as a rival wedding singer: "He's losing his mind!...and I'm reaping all the benefits!"
  • The way he slowly closes the curtain while staring with his bug eyes and a creepy smile really sold that line.
  • What makes this even more Hilarious in Hindsight is that this character never appears or is mentioned again.
• This exchange between Robbie and Sammy when Sammy is auditioning to be the chauffeur for Julia's wedding.
  Robbie: You hit two cones! Those could've been people- those could've been guests at her wedding!
  Sammy: They were coooones!
• "How're you doing, sir! Chicken or fish?"
• So much about Robbie's Fish out of Water experience in the first class section of the flight is funny, but the Gilligan Cut from Robbie starting to talk about why he's on the plane to an eavesdropping busybody passenger, to the tail end of Robbie's recap of the story so far, when pretty much the entirety of first class and the cabin crew are sitting enthralled listening to him. Including Billy Idol of all people:
  Robbie: ...so she comes over to tell me how she feels, and Linda answers the door wearing nothing but my Van Halen T-shirt!
  Crowd: *gasps*
  Billy Idol: No way!
  Robbie: I don't know what to do! She's getting married, and he's gonna ruin her life!
  Billy Idol: Ah, Glenn doesn't deserve her. All he cares about are possessions. Fancy cars, CD players... Even women are possessions to him.
  Robbie: See? Billy Idol gets it. I don't know why she doesn't get it.
  • Which is followed up with this gem:
    Robbie: Oh my god! The mile-high guy is Glenn! They're on this plane!
    Crowd: No way!
• Grandma Rosie's letter in the stage musical, sung sweetly just like a loving grandmother, ending with this lyric:
  Rosie: And if you're feeling sad, remember... that Linda is... ... ... a skanky hoe.
• The look on Billy Idol's face when the old lady asks what the mile-high club is.
  • And the old Asian guy behind him who has the same look.
• The drunk old man at the bar after Glenn punches Robbie in the face and jokes that he should write a song about it.
  Old Man: (thoughtfully) Sounds like a country song!
• Robbie learning Glenn's last name:
  Robbie: I don't even know your last name.
  Glenn: It's Gulia.
  Robbie: Gulia? Oh, so Julia's last name's gonna be Gulia. Julia Gulia! That's funny!
  Glenn: [unamused] Why is that funny?
  Robbie: I - don't know.
  • Later...
  Julia: [into the mirror in her wedding dress] Hi. Nice to meet you. I'm Mrs. Glenn Gulia.
  (disgusted at the sound of it)
  Julia: Hello, it's nice to meet you I'm... Julia Gulia...
  (laughs, breaks out in tears, pauses, then smiles; she starts to practice introducing herself with Robbie's last name)
• Robbie's test to see if Glenn's a cad:
  Robbie: [looking at a sexy waitress; monotone voice] My, God. That is a luscious ass.
  Glenn: [smiling] That's premium grade, top choice meat.
  • Funnier, Robbie is only pretending to be that hammy, but Glenn actually is that way.
• One of Robbie's nephews calls Linda a "bitch".
  • He also defaces her in a photograph of Robbie and her together. Robbie said it wasn't nice but was very creative.
• Glenn's buddy Jason asks Robbie if he feels like shit after being left at the alter.
  Robbie: No, man, it feels great. Hey, my parents died when I was 10, wanna talk about that?
  • Then later, Robbie's parting shot:
  Robbie: Yeah, have a few drinks, then drive home, okay?
