1 | * Opening the film with Sandler singing "You Spin Me Round (Like A Record)" isn't just an awesome performance, but it perfectly establishes all the characters and the '80s setting by the end of the opening credits. |
2 | * Music/BillyIdol's [[TheCameo Crowning Cameo Of Awesome]]. One particular moment is when he slams the service cart into Glenn. |
3 | -->'''Billy Idol''': ''[with a smug grin]'' How're you doing, sir? Chicken or fish?\ |
4 | '''Glenn''': Get out of my way, Billy, or you're gonna get hurt!\ |
5 | '''Billy''': Oh yeah?\ |
6 | ''[a giant biker, ''wearing a Billy Idol shirt no less'', stands between them]''\ |
7 | '''Biker''': [[BadassBystander DON'T YOU TALK TO BILLY IDOL THAT WAY!]]\ |
8 | ''[Billy gleefully sticks his tongue out and gives Glenn a jerking off motion as the latter gets shoved into the bathroom by a flight attendant he tried to seduce earlier]'' |
9 | ** And the best part? Even with a whopping ''thirteen years'' of rock'n'roll lifestyle between 1985 and 1998,[[note]]including a motorcycle accident that cost him the role of [[Film/Terminator2JudgmentDay the T-1000]][[/note]] Billy still looked enough like his 1985 self to pull it off convincingly. |
10 | * This line is as awesome a line as you can get out of a bitter ramble: |
11 | -->'''Robbie:''' I have the microphone. And you don't. '''''So you will listen to every damn word I have to say!!''''' |
12 | * Doubles as a TearJerker, but "Somebody Kill Me Please" qualifies. |
13 | ** Especially since it managed to include a rhyme with "melancholy". |
14 | * What Robbie's nephew says to Linda: |
15 | -->'''Petey''': Hey, Linda.\ |
16 | ''[Linda smiles and waves]''\ |
17 | '''Petey''': You're a bitch.\ |
18 | '''Robbie''': Thanks, Petey. Go back in the house.\ |
19 | '''Robbie''': He, he, he might have Tourette's Syndrome. We're looking into it. |
20 | * Julia's not taking shit from a singer who mocked Robbie. |
21 | -->'''Robbie''': Thank you.\ |
22 | '''Jimmie Moore''': No, thank you!\ |
23 | '''Robbie''': For what?\ |
24 | '''Jimmie Moore''': For quitting. [nudges him] Thanks to you my business has tripled... '''or''', should I thank Linda?\ |
25 | '''Julia''': Well, you've just inspired me to hire a DJ. So thank you.\ |
26 | '''Jimmie Moore''': Oh. Well, good luck trying to find a DJ who can move and shake like [wriggles back and forth like a snake slithering] THIS! |
27 | * Robbie finally standing up to Linda when she tries to reconcile with him. Doubles as a moment of CharacterDevelopment, as it demonstrates how much more assertive Robbie has become due to his experiences throughout the film. |
28 | -->'''Linda''': I can learn to deal with the fact that you're just a wedding singer, not a rock star. I could even learn to deal with...\ |
29 | '''Robbie''': You can "learn to deal" with that? I don't want you to learn to deal with that. That's not how it works. Jeez!\ |
30 | '''Linda''': Well, Robbie, maybe we should talk about this when you're feeling better?\ |
31 | '''Robbie''': Hey, psycho. I'm not gonna feel better about this. It's over. So please get outta my Van Halen T-shirt before you jinx the band and they break up.\ |
32 | '''Linda''': Oh, okay. So you're still [[ComicallyMissingThePoint pissed about that wedding thing?]]\ |
33 | ''[SmashCut to her outside with Robbie slamming the door in her face]'' |
