Funny / We Hate Movies

Regular episodes

• Episode 83: K-911:
  • Lazy 7
• Episode 213: The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen:
  • Everyone (especially Eric) are utterly flabbergasted at the fact that Mr. Hyde is introduced wearing a Hyde-sized tophat, and wonder if Jekyll actually walked into a haberdasher to acquire one ("It's for a statue"). Later on, while discussing the terrible effects of Hyde talking to Jekyll via reflections:
    Eric: They should just do like in Spider-Man with the Green Goblin, he's just looking at the mask, and he's hearing the voice. Instead, it's just a gigantic top hat.
    Chris: Yeah, just look at the top hat!
    Eric: It's the size of a dining room table and it's talking!
• Episode 243: Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice:
  • "And welcome, everyone, to the stupidest part of the movie!" Followed by a lengthy takedown of exactly how incredibly stupid the "Save Martha" moment is.
  • Pretty much everything involving their impression of Holly Hunter's senator character, culminating in her finally getting to debate Superman in the afterlife while Doomsday takes the meeting minutes.
• Episode 341: Traces of Red:
  • Steve introduces the incredulous group to the existence of Domino's Pizza Takeout Insurance, where if anything happens to your pizza between purchasing it and getting it home Domino's will replace it free of charge. The group concludes that in order to cash in on this insurance you must have to have no dignity whatsoever, as is rapidly demonstrated over a series of impressions in which some sad-sack (implied to be one of the boys themselves) is forced to cringingly ask for his insurance claim to be upheld due to some increasingly absurd calamity, each introduced with some variant of a weepily-declared "'M sorry, Mr. Dominos..."
• Episode 349: Shrek
  • He look like Shrek.
• Episode 396: Batman (1989)
  • The "Who [did X]?"/"Eckhardt, sir."/"OH. MY. GOD!" Running Gag. Made even funnier by the fact that the group freely admits that it shouldn't be and probably isn't as funny as they find it.
• Episode 445: Friday the 13th (2009):
  • A tangential joke about a main character's search for his missing sister regarding Amber Alerts leads to a lengthy yelling match between Andrew and Eric, who find the loud tone used by the Alert to be obnoxious and irritating considering there's almost certainly nothing they can do about the situation, and Steve and Chris, who are a bit flabbergasted about how indignant and put-upon the other two seem to feel about a relatively infrequent alert that's simply trying to provide information to other people who might be in a position to help recover a missing child.
    Andrew: Why does it have to make the loudest noise in the world?! It's not like I'm at a fucking AIR SHOW, IT'S AN AMBER ALERT!
    • A perfect Call-Back occurs just a few minutes later, when Eric discovers that he somehow missed an important shot in the movie.
      Eric: Well, I must have been looking at the fucking Amber Alert!

Mail bags

• "Peein' at the Arcade, Dirty Diapers in the Theater, and One Ticked Off BvS Superfan"
  • The titular "Ticked Off BvS Superfan". Apparently this contributor did not appreciate the gang making fun of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and wrote in a rather snotty email informing them of how they'd completely lost his respect and how he was no longer going to be listening to the show. The boys, contrary to what was presumably expected, are absolutely tickled by this and have lots of fun ripping apart his rather pompous tone; his denouncing them claiming to be "DC Comics experts" despite the fact that none of them have ever claimed to be such; the fact that this fan apparently doesn't know as much about the DC Comics universe as he claims^note he seems to believe that the film is based on an actual Batman Vs. Superman comic which doesn't exist (it is in fact inspired by parts of The Dark Knight Returns) and criticises them for not knowing about the apparently many other names that Batman's rogues gallery uses for him but can only actually list two. They note that he writes the latter in a way which suggests that he meant to go back and research more examples but apparently either forgot or couldn't be bothered.; apparently wasn't paying too much attention to the movie either since he seems to remember things happening that weren't in it, makes a big deal about what the guys caustically note is simply deciding not to listen to a podcast any more because he disagrees with their opinions, and signs off as "Kenny G".
  • For added humor value, at one point the Superfan passive-aggressively states that he's sure the boys won't read his email on air; not only did they do so, but it's become a fan-favourite moment and is loaded onto the podcast's YouTube page to be broadcast whenever the listener wishes. They've even made the title card for their YouTube mailbag uploads the sign-off the Superfan used for his email ("You make me sick! ~ Kenny G.").
• Backfiring Prank Calls, Watching The Jerky Boys on 9/11, and After-Hours Movie Theater Sexcapades
  • A young Texan woman writes in to tell the tale of watching RoboCop 2 with a "sweaty and nervous" male friend and casually removing her shoes while relaxing, only for him to sternly tell her, "You show, you really shouldn't show off your bare feet like that, I kind of have a foot fetish." This leads to an occasional Running Gag with the guys complaining "you shouldn't / can you not [totally innocuous thing]? I kinda have a fetish!"
