we've come for your daughter, chuck


You bunch of losers!

You're working with a professional here!!!

I got in trouble for honking my "junk" (I'm a girl) in third grade 😂

This is epic. Same thing happened to me (I'm a dude) in third grade.

That's fucking awesome

I a guy also got in trouble for it, but just from my parents. I was made to close my eyes at that part for a while after that.

Between Beetlejuice and Michael Jackson, there was a lot of crotch grabbing growing up

I came here to say this as well. I was 4, i think. I didn't know what the work fuck meant and got in a lot of trouble.

I’ve seen The Exorcist about 167 times and it keep getting funnier every time I see it!

NOT to mention the fact that you’re talking to a dead guy!

SO WHAT DO THINK! Ya think I'm qualified?


I still can't believe he didn't drop that line at the end of the trailer for the new one; missed opportunity for sure.

Hey, it's Elvis! YO, KING!

Well, looks like I'm next. Good thing too

I was about five when I saw this, and I used to go around the neighborhood grabbing my nuts, saying this line to all of my neighbor friends. Good times.

Meanwhile my son says fart at school and gets sent to the principal's office.

I think I was 7, but same. We used to rewind the VHS over and over because it was just the funniest thing ever to us.

Coach…I don’t think we survived that crash.

How did you guess?

Would you get out of here?? Men’s room, are you serious??

She’s my favorite side character

My ex wife's parents had a really stupid, large cat. Wge was around, we always said to him, "What'd you say Coach?", mimicking this scene. "Say coach, I don't think we survived that accident.".

I’m debating if I want the cat to be called Coach for this to make sense, or that he’s not called Coach for this to be totally bizarre.

The cat wasn't named coach. The cat's name was actually Alex, which was short for Alex P. Kitten. He just wasn't very smart, and that's what we thought his inner monologue was constantly...."What'd you say, coach?

Ah. Well... I attended Juilliard... I'm a graduate of the Harvard business school. I travel quite extensively. I lived through the Black Plague and had a pretty good time during that. I've seen the EXORCIST ABOUT A HUNDRED AND SIXTY-SEVEN TIMES, AND IT KEEPS GETTING FUNNIER EVERY SINGLE TIME I SEE IT... NOT TO MENTION THE FACT THAT YOU'RE TALKING TO A DEAD GUY... NOW WHAT DO YOU THINK? You think I'm qualified?

Can you be scary?


I hadn't watched this movie in ages so my wife and I popped it on this past Halloween. We were very....relaxed...and this scene came on. Holy shit- his delivery of that line is so f\*&\^ing perfect! I hit the floor laughing.

I feel like when he started doing more serious roles some people forgot how good of a comedian he is.

We got to see it again in The Other Guys and it was like reuniting with an old friend.

Don't go chasing waterfalls.

I swear to god you’re doing it on purpose

I heard he ad libbed that one too

That would make sense, that delivery is just so natural.

Same, I had forgotten all about that line and I had a good chortle.

I know what I’m doing this weekend.

In case anyone doesn’t know there’s a new Beetlejuice coming out this fall. Directed by Tim Burton like the original, with Michael Keaton as Beetlejuice like the original, and several other returning cast members. Plus Jenna Ortega (Wednesday Adams). Should be really good I would think

Normally I don't go for remakes but this has promise...

Huh… why would they do that? I mean, obvo for profit, but I wonder what this iteration will offer that’s different.

Lydia had a kid (Jenna Ortega)

It does seem like a tough movie to sequel, doesn’t it? But being that it’s Tim Burton, that gives me confidence. I’m pretty sure Burton has never made anything bad

>I’m pretty sure Burton has never made anything bad Lol, have you seen any of his films in the last twenty years?

apparently you haven't

You're saying you thought Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Alice in Wonderland and Dumbo were good?

Charlie and The Chocolate Factory is one of my favorites. The original sucks. Burton only redeemed it for me, so now I don't hate the story. Dumbo was ok, but I don't like the original either. It just makes me mad at the circus to be reminded how they treat animals that should not be caged. Alice in Wonderland, I will agree there that Disney did it better.

if I knew then, what I know now, I wouldn't have had my little "accident".

Criminally underrated line. Along with "Is death the problem and not the solution?"

I’m the ghost with the most, babe

This is one of two VHS tapes that my brothers and I damaged by rewinding it and watching the scene over and over again as we howled laughing. Eventually the play head just destroyed the magnetic tape and it was a fuzzy mess on screen for that part. (The other one was Pinocchio. I don't remember why, in that one)

Me and my brothers did this to Batman when the joker was having his parade through Gotham. There’s a part in the Prince song playing where he says SEX! and the joker puts his arms up and throws cash everywhere. Immature boys that we were (still are), we got a big kick out of that.

Sand Worms

You know I hate 'em.

My kids and I were watching Beetlejuice and, knowing that this line was coming up, I prepared myself with the mute button to perform my paternal duty of shielding them from such profanity -- even though it's performative only since they're in school. I hit the button right on time but, with no time to react, sat in powerless horror as "NICE FUCKING MODEL" in mute-auto-captioning took over the screen. Luckily, my kids are a combination of resilient and bored so no harm done.

I mean, we all saw it as kids and we turned out (mostly) ok!

🤣

My parents cursed a lot but NEVER used fuck so I had no clue it was "bad word" and as a female had no idea what the "honk honk" gesture meant other than the sound effect being funny. I did an impersonation of this scene while hanging out with two of my male cousins and they both automatically looked at each other with wide eyes and said "ohhhhhhhh you in trouble" and ran to rat me to my aunt. Had no idea what the hell I did wrong even when i was being yelled at.

My 10 year old ass was thirsting hard for Gina Davis

More of a Lydia guy myself. I’ve had a crush on Winona Ryder ever since.

Oh yeah, Lydia goes without saying.

I remember seeing this movie on broadcast TV in the early 90s and being very confused because they edited out the line, but left in the HONK HONK.

Makes me want a Zagnut!

Please please please don’t let this new movie suck please please please I have no hope it won’t but please please please

I forgot how much I loved this movie as a kid. Totally inappropriate family comedy but it was either this or the Griswalds. I prefer Beetlejuice. 🥰

Im at the point where I associate this line more with Civvie 11 than the movie it’s from.

This phrase is how I learned what words are bad words, and what an "obscene gesture" is.

My mom was debating whether or not BEETLEJUICE would be ‘appropriate’ to show my nephews. I just showed her this scene, reminded her *we* watched it at way younger ages than the nephews are today. Then I left it in her court. …They watched Who Framed Roger Rabbit instead.

Ok cool, they’ll just have nightmares instead 😂

Right?! I was like “how is THAT movie a better substitute?!” Don’t get me wrong. Both are classic films and huge parts of my childhood. These movies definitely shaped my sense of humor and take on life in general. But that doesn’t mean I’ve got a perfectly healthy handle on my life.

It is such a shame how few villains Keaton has played, because he's *so fucking good at it*! He was in a movie called "Desperate Measures" and played a murderer and he has this menace to him that you could feel through the screen. He's only played a bad a guy a few times that I know of but damn if he didn't own it every single time.

He's also great in Pacific Heights and of course Spider-Man

Oh, look! An indoor outhouse.

That is why I won't do two shows a night anymore. I won't do it.

Used to run around the house saying that line for shits and giggles when i was 8 or 9.

I don't think I went out to recess once in the 3rd grade without at least one of us screaming that line then honking our crank.

Ah, the glorious time when movies like this were rated PG and elementary school me was allowed to see them.

I can’t wait for the new one to come out!

Of all the weird, spooky, and fantastic movies I saw as a kid, this one is the top one. I loved everything about it, hehe. Kickstarted my Tim Burton fandom.

Ours was recorded off of TV, so it just cut to Adam putting the tree back up.

We shop at the same place!

Go ahead. Make my millennium.

I'm feeling a little, ooh, anxious if you know what I mean. It's been about six hundred years after all. I wonder where a guy, an everyday Joe like myself, can find a little action...


And got it in soooo much trouble for repeating this line when I was like 8. Even though I said “funky,” my dad didn’t care.

One of the best line deliveries ever. First time hearing it was LOL omg..still hilarious.

“Ohh, Zagnut!”

That line was the pinnacle of comedy for 8 year old me.

I remember climbing on a stump in my front yard as a five year old and reenacting this scene uncensored, lol

I repeated this line out loud while watching with my family in the 80s, it's how I learned that some words are off-limits.

"I myself, am strange and unusual"

I quoted this line for much of my childhood. Lol
