I was convinced it was the funniest movie I had ever seen. Then I went a third time like a week later with my brother and he also loved it, and I loved it even more. Then I downloaded it and watched it two more times and still found it ROFL.

It is insanely hilarious. Such ridiculous weird humor. So many parts got stuck in my head. Like when Rico is talking to Kip at that restaurant and he has his arms folded and he keeps pushing his muscles out, lol I dunno. LOVE IT.

But now it is ruined to all hell. All the people quoting it like two years after it came out. It is completely dead. I dunno if I would find it funny at all if I tried watching it now.
The above is about 99% accurate as far as my own opinion of ND goes. I loved it, before people ruined it by quoting it needlessly and incesssantly, and now it's a passed fad. But at its height, I loved it and thought it was awesomely funny. I even used Naopleon as my avatar...can't remember if it was here or another forum, or both.

There are still parts of ND that I LOL at, scenes that are priceless and can never be ruined, like Pedro saying "You could build her a cake or something." "Build"...who says that?

I still think Rex has the best quotes in the movie. Still quote them pretty often with my friends. And still laugh at it. Then again, I didn't thrash the tits off watching the movie either.

You think I got where I am today because I dressed like Peter Pan over here?
Take a look at what I'm wearing, people. You think anybody wants a roundhouse kick to the face while I'm wearing these bad boys? Forget about it.

I did not enjoy the movie and I can not believe how huge it got. I saw some humour in it, but even that was not funny. I thought Nacho Libre was very similar to it but was better.

Borat is the funniest movie I have ever seen.

I laughed at exactly two parts of it: The FFA Competition (having been in FFA in my younger days) and the dance at the end.

I found it to be mostly stupid and I was bored by it.

Step-Sister, however, loved it.

I fall into the same category as KayfabeMan. "ZOMG1! Napoleon Dynamite if the funniest movie eva!!!11 <3 i want to marry Napoleon! oMG! Have you seen him when he's not Napoleon! He's fucking hot!" Hmm, I thought, maybe I should give it a shot.

A laughed once. And that was at the scene where Kip tried to sweep Rex, but Rex just badassed over it. I might have laughed a few more times if Rex trained Kip to be a samurai, or something. Only a few, though.

The movie has been so overrated it's not funny, though. I refuse to say "Gosh" anymore, in fear that it will be connected to Napoleon Dynamite, just because I don't want to be seen as a fan.

I don't get what is so funny about the following lines:

I don't get why a line like "Tina, come get some ham!" being said to a llama. Is it because the llama's name is Tina? Is it because it's eating a pig? Is it because he's talking to it? I don't get it.

The movie seems riddled with set-ups for jokes without punchlines. When he hangs the action figure out of the bus at the start. I don't get why this is funny. Also, the characters in the movie would actually have to try to be so inept, awkward and audience-pandering. Is that the joke? I still don't see why it is funny.

My verdict is that it's a dumb movie masquerading as a smart movie, and it fails on every level.

It already is. I keep hearing people at work saying "Niiice-eh" and other Borat phrases. My wife HATED Borat with a passion, but I loved the movie. I LOL'd.

It seems you are saying that every line needs to have comedic context (tina ham bit)

You probably saw it after all the hype so you saw it expecting something really great.

I loved it the first few times I saw it, but yeah I let everybody quoting it all the time get to me and I'm not sure if I could make it through the whole movie again. The scene that had me most ROFL was when Rico was driving and the fruit of some kind hits the windshield of the van. It came out of nowhere and I just lost it.

Yeah, I've only seen it a few times and I still laugh. I can see it losing its funny if I watched it constantly but every now and then works for me. I'm just glad the quoting of it has died down some. It was like people quoting Austin Powers all over again. GROOVY BABY.

But I can defintely see why people don't like it. I don't want to say you don't "get it"...but I dunno, you either think its funny or you don't. Not much in between on this movie.

Why is "Tina, come get some ham" funny? Well, to me, I laugh at it 1. because of the way he says it and 2. he's telling a llama to come get ham.

SO I DUNNO, different strokes and all that.

I love how everyone picks to popular quotes like your mom goes to college, when the best ones are the subtle ones. "How much do you wanna bet I could throw a football over one of them mountains." Easily the funniest line from that movie, never heard it quoted once.

Kip: So, how long are we talking about working?
Uncle Rico: What, are you already losing your steam?
Kip: No, I just... I have a chat room meeting at 4:00. I gotta be back here by then.
Uncle Rico: All right, you just start a little earlier then. That's all.
Kip: All right.
Uncle Rico: Or else work afterwards. How long's the chat room?
Kip: Geez, sometimes up to three, four hours maybe... maybe not. I don't know.
Uncle Rico: You... you you pay the bills for that? Does that cost money every time you're on, like for minutes on the phone?
Kip: Yeah. Grandma's still payin' per minute. She gets kinda pissed at me sometimes cause I'm on there so long.
Uncle Rico: I'll bet she does. I'll tell you something, I'd be throwing you out the window.

Yeah, didn't find it funny at all. It was terrible. I don't know why it's so popular.

Basically not at all as far as ND goes, Anchorman though? Hell that movie was ruined for me before I ever saw it.

Yeah that bit is brilliant. It's the little yelp he lets out when it hits.

just reading this thread right now is making ROFL for real. "Tina come eat your ham" is funny as hell. If you don't get it, then fine, but that shit makes me laugh... Rico pushing up his biceps, lolzzzz -fuck. Dying over here.

I dont think borat is on the same page in terms of cult fans like ND or Office space. its a universally well known movie beacuse it had so much press, not beacuse it had a BIG cult following.

I think now that so many jokes in the movie have been ruined, looking back and finding stuff that hasn't been ruined makes them even funnier.

Pretty much all of Napoleon's lines have been ruined, but Rico, Rex, and Kip's lines still have some of their fresh, original charm. Except for your mom goes to college of course

Kid: "What are you gonna do today Napolean?"
Napolean: "Whatever I fell like doing, GOSH!"

lol, one of my favourite lines of the whole film

SO I DUNNO, different strokes and all that.
i like that bit cos he's so angry that the llama isn't eating, like, he's so highly strung.

"EAT THE FOOD!!!"

My favourite part was when Napoleon asked Don for a pin and then just threw it and ran away. Found that hilarious for some reason.

Yeah, I did see it after the hype. I guess when you're going in not expecting anything, you can kind of enjoy a movie that does whatever it feels like, gosh...I feel dirty now.

The line "Tina, come get some ham," only aggrivated me because I heard so many people repeat it. I can understand if you're watching a movie and a throwaway line tickles your fancy. It's what makes you laugh, and it comes down to who you are, but people were dancing around quoting it like it was some deep comedic genius. In actuality, he wants a llama to eat.

That's what I think my biggest problem with Napoleon Dynamite is. It's nothing but what it is, and for a movie that tries to be so subtle and intelligent with its humour, it's pretty much a sledgehammer to the face, or a cold shower on a winter morning.
