Dear Mr Larson,
"Come on baby I'll suck yo dick"

I feel it would be a crime if Mr. Larson didn't pick Happy Gilmore...

 

[Mr. Larson]

Lock me up. I'm going with "The Jerk".

 

[Me2SouthBend]

Napoleone Dynamite is now off the board.

 

[In Lou I Trust]

Carl Spackler will be bringing his talents to In Lou I Trust. Caddyshack.

 

[BeauBenken]

I can taste my pick...Walter, pick...quickly!

 

[GEORGIA DOMER]

Oh **** I'm going to get my pick Big Bully!! If u want it Beau u can have it!

 

[The Polish Irishman]

How is Blazing Saddles still on the board?

 

[In Lou I Trust]

How is Blazing Saddles still on the board?

I almost picked it but I'm not sure what happens once we have our teams picked so I wanted a comedy that is not only very funny but known by all. I don't think many of the young folk have seen Blazing Saddles.

 

[Walter White]

Sorry I was at work guys.

I am a Dapper Dan man so I pick O Brother, Where Art Though

 

[BeauBenken]

Tommy Boy!

I'll put a poll up so people can vote on the winner. Winner will get a nice price from the vbPlaza.

 

[Mr. Larson]

Irish4Life is still on the clock. PM sent. He hasn't been on line yet today, but fair warning- the default pick for this round is Ghost Dad.

 

[In Lou I Trust]

You forgot to list my pick (#6 - Caddyshack) and Walter's pick (#7 - O' Brother, Where Art Though).

 

[Mr. Larson]

Slightly over half-way through the first round thoughts:

(Note: I love all of these flicks so it's going to be hard to make them look like questionable picks.)


1st Pick: Airplane!...First overall? Surely you can't be serious. This is probably the third best movie with a Kareem Abdul-Jabbar cameo.

Animal House: They took the bar! The whole f*cking bar!

Anchorman: 60% of the time this is a great pick all the time.

The Jerk: The Shinola pick of the first round!

Napoleon Dynamite: Gosh! Me2SouthBend threw this pick clear over those mountains.

Caddy Shack: You're Excellency fiddlesticks! My name is Fred.

Oh Brother, Where Art Thou: Funniest movie ever to be based on a work of Homer. Is this movie better than Blazing Saddles? Doubtful.

Tommy Boy: Beau's head was not up his butcher's a$$ on this pick.

 

[Mr. Larson]

You forgot to list my pick (#6 - Caddyshack) and Walter's pick (#7 - O' Brother, Where Art Though).

Fixed. Sorry, trying to juggle updating this and a (muted) conference call.

 

[Irish4Life09]

With the 9th pick in the 1st ever Comedy Movie Draft, Irish4Life09 selects....Billy Madison!!!

I was really hoping this would be around in the 2nd. F***!!

 

[Me2SouthBend]

I just hope Apocalypse Now is still around when I'm back on the clock.

 

[Black Irish]

I picked Airplane because it is pure comedy. Sure no heart-warming sub-plots or classic bromances, but it boasts enough sight gags, one-liners, puns, physical comedy, and satire for a half-dozen movies.

 

[Irish4Life09]

Haha...Well I was pissed my Caddyshack was already off the board.lol

 

[Me2SouthBend]

I just copied this from the Mackensie Alexander thread. If this was a movie, it would have been my 1st round pick. If it is made into a movie while this thread is alive, I am claiming dibs on it. It simply never grows old. At no time, at no time, will this video grow old.

How many rounds are we going? I need to work on my draft board.

 

[Mr. Larson]

How many rounds are we going? I need to work on my draft board.

Depends on the momentum of the draft. If it gets stale in the 5th we can cut it off there, but if it's still going strong we'll go farther.
