History Funny / Ghostbusters

* Also from the sequel, when the GhostBusters were committed:

* Also from the sequel, Louis referring to the guys' cease and desist order as "that blue thing I got from her."

** Except, of course, weasels are Mustelids, not Rodents. So, once again, Venkman doesn't know what he's talking about.

--> '''Egon:''' [[YourMom YOUR MOTHER--]] ''(the rest of the sentence is lost as he attacks Peck)''

* While the sequel is considered slightly inferior to the original, it does have this:
--> '''Venkman''': Johnny, where are you from?\\
'''Janosz''': De Upper Vest Side...
* Also from the sequel, when the GhostBusters were committed:
-->'''Ray''': As I explained before, we think the spirit of a 17th century Moldavian tyrant is alive and well in a painting at the Manhattan Museum of Art.
-->'''Psychiatrist''': Uh-huh, and are there any other paintings in the museum with bad spirits in them?
-->'''Egon''': You're wasting valuable time. He's drawing strength from a psychomagnotheric slime flow that's been collecting under the city.
-->'''Psychiatrist''': Yes, tell me about the slime.
-->'''Winston''': It's very potent stuff. We made a toaster dance with it. And a bathtub tried to eat his friend's baby.
-->'''Psychiatrist''': A bathtub?
-->'''Venkman''': Don't look at me. I think these people are completely nuts.
* Again from the sequel, the entire scene where Egon and Ray show Peter and Winston the effects of the mood slime, especially the dancing toaster.
-->'''Ray''': We sing to it, talk to it, say...supportive, nurturing things to it.\\
'''Venkman''': You're not ''sleeping'' with it, are you Ray?\\
''(Ray shakes his head; Egon hangs his head in embarrassment.)''\\
'''Winston''': It's always the quiet ones.\\
'''Venkman''': You hound.

* Also from the sequel, Louis referring to the guys' cease and desist order as "that blue thing I got from her."

* When Gozer is revealed as taken on the form of the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man, the look on his face is priceless. [[http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-WUZ3zhIM5ng/TezYzm9lWKI/AAAAAAAACPs/e4x7695ZVQU/s1600/stay-puft.jpg He looks so happy!]]

* When Gozer is revealed as taken on the form of the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man, the look on his face is priceless. He looks so happy!

--> '''Carriage-driver''': What an ''asshole''.

* Also from the sequel, Louis referring to the guys' cease and desist order as "that blue thing I got from her."

* While the sequel is generally vastly inferior to the original, it does have this:

-->'''Hotel Manager''': No, no, no, no! All right!

--> '''Egon''': ''I collect spores, molds and fungus.''

* ''{{Ghostbusters}}''
** Venkman's introduction to Slimer.
---> "He slimed me."
** The way Egon puts an end to Janine's flirting questions.
---> '''Egon''': ''I collect spores, molds and fungus.''
** The scene at the Mayor's office, when Ray explains how ObstructiveBureaucrat Walter Peck caused the ghosts to be released:
---> '''Ray''': ''Everything was going fine until the power grid was shut off by dickless here.''\\
'''Peck''': ''They caused an explosion!''\\
'''Mayor''': ''Is this true?''\\
'''Venkman''': ''Yes, it's true. This man has no dick.''
*** Even the censored version is amusing enough to warrant note.
---> '''Ray''': ''Everything was going fine until the power grid was shut off by this weasel here.''\\
'''Peck''': ''They caused an explosion!''\\
'''Mayor''': ''Is this true?''\\
'''Venkman''': ''Yes, it's true. This man is some sort of rodent. I'm not sure which.''
*** Except, of course, weasels are Mustelids not Rodents. So, once again, Venkman doesn't know what he's talking about.
*** Another censored version has a slightly altered yet no less funny exchange, with Ray calling Peck "Wally Wick" instead of a weasel.
*** An issue of ''NintendoPower'' with an article on the recent games had the guts to put up a picture of Peck with the caption: "Yes, it's true. This man has no Wii".
*** An airing on British terrestrial TV censored this scene by overdubbing the offending words with dialogue from elsewhere in the movie - so Venkman's punchline becomes "Yes, it's true. This man has no [[UnusualEuphemism twinkie]]."
** When Ray, Egon, and Venkman are touring the old firehouse:
--->'''Spengler''': I think this building should be condemned. There's serious metal fatigue in all the load-bearing members, the wiring is substandard, it's completely inadequate for our power needs, and the neighborhood is like a demilitarized zone.\\

** Bill Murray's face when the Cardinal of New York walks in is quite possibly the greatest deadpan reaction gag of his career, and when you consider the range of said gags, that's saying something.
--->'''Cardinal''': Personally, Lenny, I think it's a sign from God -- but don't quote me on that.\\

** The moment in the original when Ray decides that Bureaucratese is the best way to deal with an invading God from Dimension X:
---> '''Ray''': Gozer the Gozerian? Good evening. As a duly designated representative of the city, county and state of New York, I hearby order you to cease any and all supernatural activity and return at once to your place of origin or the nearest convenient parallel dimension.
---> '''Venkman''': ... Well, that oughta do it.
** Followed up by some useful advice from the ''Christian'' {{Token Minority}}:
---> '''Winston''': ''Ray, when someone asks you if you're a God, you say "YES"!''
** In the library, just before they find the ghostly librarian:
---> '''Stantz''': Listen! Do you smell something?
** From the capturing of Slimer, we have the immortal couplet.
---> '''Stantz''': I'm opening the trap - Don't look directly into the trap!\\

** While the sequel is generally vastly inferior to the original, it does have this:
---> '''Venkman''': Johnny, where are you from?\\

** Also from the sequel, when the GhostBusters were committed:

** Also from the sequel, when the GhostBusters were commited:

--> '''Venkman:''' ''(completely deadpan)'' GO GET HER, RAY!

** Followed up by some useful advice from the {{Token Minority}}:

*** An issue of ''Nintendo Power'' with an article on the recent games had the guts to put up a picture of Peck with the caption: "Yes, it's true. This man has no Wii".

--> '''Egon:''' [[YourMom YOUR MOTHER--]] ''(the rest of the sentence is lost as he attacks Peck)''

* "Guys, guys, we've been going about this all wrong. This Mr. Staypuft is okay, he's a sailor, he's in New York--we just get this guy laid, we won't have any trouble!"

** Again from the sequel, the entire scene where Egon and Ray show Peter and Winston the effects of the mood slime, especially the dancing toaster.

--->'''Venkman''': Don't look at me. I think these people are completely nuts.
