People clearly never understood that. Onstad wasn't saying that the next day he would give a recipe for chicken. He was saying chicken is the recipe of tomorrow ; he equates cooking chicken with the distant future.

It's true. Whenever I see a dog's body, I think to myself, "You know, I really don't feel like cooking that today. Nope. Just don't."

I would assume a dog, because once you cut off the chicken head it is basically identical to any other dog-without-a-head. Well, once you account for breed.

I really like both too. My theory is that there's a certain type of person who thinks they're too good to watch a comedy about high school, but they're actually too Jethro to see the difference between American Pie and Napoleon Dynamite.
The people who lamed you probably hate Cartilage Head and anything to do with Mexican magical realism as well.
Yeah, I don't get those Cartilage Head haters, either.
"Children, I'm sorry. The fire that killed all 12 pairs of your parents was started by...a Napolean Dynamite DVD."
that's my guess.
dammit people stop laming this comment I made a year ago. You have had had a year to improve yourselves and start liking Napoleon Dynamite, and if you still do not like it it is because you are a slacker and a filthy mongrel.
I will also use this opportunity to say that Napoleon Dynamite does not fall into the same category as the Office (British) or Curb Your Enthusiasm, both of which are prime examples of awkward humor. Napoleon Dynamite is about teenagers, who are always awkward especially in small towns and prom-type situations. It is endearing because it is natural and relatable for kids to not know what they're doing. Personally I don't find anything funny about incompetent, hopeless adults as portrayed in shows like the Office.
In retrospect this was a terrible strategy to stem the tide of lames. But...I must uphold my principles!
I can't agree with the simplistic assumption that life really changes that much from when you were a teenager. Sadly enough, I was probably more mature as a teenager, because I had a simpler view of the world.
I always think back to an extremely intelligent and down-to-earth political philosophy professor I had in college, who, though he was in his 60's, was still in a band and wrote songs about angst, confusion and existential malaise.
"That shit never ends" was his lesson. I didn't really buy it at the time, but he was right.
Are you saying that you are just as socially awkward now as you were when you were a teenager? That's...terrible. I agree that people often don't change as much as they think they do at a level of basic character or their "view of the world" as you put it, but it's crazy talk to judge teenagers on the same scale as fully grown people.
I think adults are just better at hiding their awkwardness or, at least, feeling that they can. Teenagers just tend to wear it on their sleeves.
Everyone I know still has insecurities and hang ups that occasionally interfere in social circumstances, but they're just not as obvious. Some of these people are exceptionally charming and quite confident in most situations - but, still, given the right circumstances, a more complex angst and anxiety will arise than I've ever seen in a teenager.
Most people I know would say that I'm not socially awkward; quite the opposite. But that doesn't change the fact that I feel like I'm constantly walking a thin line between civil conversation and just yelling "FUCK this" and walking out half of the time.
Kinda like, you know, quitting assetbar (ooh burn). As always, just kidding cailetshadow.
And don't be ragging on the Office (British). The cartoon-ish awkwardness of Napoleon Dynamite is likable and all, but that's just what it is - over the top. The Office, while itself still cartoon-ish to an extent, captures the low points (and occasional high points) of adult life in a much more subtle and realistic manner.
Or maybe we've just had two very different lives.
I can't agree with the simplistic assumption that life really changes that much from when you were a teenager. Sadly enough, I was probably more mature as a teenager, because I had a simpler view of the world.
Yeah, I dunno about this. There's some neurological changes involved that are kind of a big deal, in aggregate.
Man, what the hell. Napoleon Dynamite is probably one of the most cleverly hilarious films out there. I watched it when I was quite a bit younger and didn't really like it because I basically didn't get a lot of the jokes. Then I watched it again this summer and I was like "Man... What was I thinking? This shit is cold funny ."
I think I'm going to watch it tonight, actually.
I believe I said this elsewhere, but I really, really liked the movie.
For the first five minutes.
After that, I realized that was EXACTLY how I, and my children, and my children's children would have grown up if I had not moved away from North Carolina.
Why did that make it less funny?
It's funny when it happens to somebody else.
And it did, so it was?
It was a bit too close to home.
Hey, hey, I come from North Carolina. My school was nothing like that. My school was full of Cocaine and racial tension.
fuck you
Well shit
I went to NC schools for K & 12.
That's right, "&". I went to Kindergarten here, moved away to many places, and then wound up back here for my senior year of HS.
I don't really remember either year very well, so I can't say who's right here.
I lived in NC (specifically the Mooresville/Statesville area) for almost 2 years while going to technical school. I wish I had nice things to say about the state, I really do. I guess...Cook Out is pretty ok? I found the majority of the populace to be some of the most unhappy, rude motherfuckers I've ever met, and I used to live in Atlanta.
Also the drivers. They were the worst.
The Outer Banks still kicks ass though. Maybe it's just central NC that sucks?
The drivers are fucking horrible, it's true - at least, in the Triangle area.
The rest of it I'll chalk up to you being in the sticks, yo.
Yeah, I can believe that. I have friends from elsewhere in the state who are just about the nicest damn people I know.
i heard that napoleon dynamite isnt a comedy, but rather, a documentary about life in preston, idaho.
And yet none of the 14 come out to explain why. Mysterious. I like Napoleon Dynamite too, and chubbied your post to indicate this.
No.
Yep. Exactly one funny bit in that movie. The rest is discardable.
Was it the part where Napoleon falls over the fence? I chuckled softly at that bit and then for the rest of the movie wondered why all my friends found it funny.
I don't like the awkward humour that's popular these days. It's like "hey let's put these characters into embarassing situations that are not funny in and of themselves but every few seconds the situation gets more inane so people will laugh at how ridiculous it is getting rather than anything anybody said or did that was actually funny"
Oh thank God, there are other people who hate awkward humour, I thought I was the last one left in a world that loves The Office and Curb Your Enthusiasm.
Ugh, I hate The Office. Never really watched Curb Your Enthusiasm though. If I wanted to cringe-laugh I would try to explain string theory to my roommate.
Actually I think I will do that today.
