Uncover the 20-Year-Old Movie Joke Hidden in 60 Iconic Watches—Only True Fans Notice!
In “Cars” Lightning tells Mater that Doc won the Piston Cup 3 times!
Mater responds with, “He did what in his cup?!”.
“I’m sure your job gets pretty dangerous”
“That’s why I carry a big gun.”
“Aren’t you afraid it might go off accidentally?”
“I used to have that problem”
“What did you do about it?”
“I just think about baseball”.

In Disney’s Hercules, a little snippet of the Zero to Hero song goes:
>From appearance fees and royalties
>Our Herc had cash to burn
>Now nouveau riche and famous
>He could tell you “What’s a Grecian urn?”
This is a reference to an absolutely ancient Vaudeville joke that flew miles above every kid’s head in the 90s. The joke goes something like,
“My wife brought home a Grecian urn last night.”
“What’s a Grecian urn?”
“About $25 a week, unless he owns the restaurant.”
Delving deeper into the structure of jokes, the expert noted that one way to understand the setup and punchline structure is to think back to your days of learning propositional logic: “If A -> B, and B -> C, then A->C. A good joke has a setup (A) and a punchline (C). If the audience can infer what’s supposed to be funny (B), they’ll laugh.
“So in order to be clever, but not complicated, you have to give just enough information in the setup (A) to help the audience get B, but not so much that it’s confusing or takes too long to understand,” Tarvin explained.
When the hunter buys the gun in Jumanji and the salesman says “you’re not a postal worker, are you?”. I think I thought he was just making fun of his clothes, I had no idea what “going postal” was.
It seems every time I watch Hot Fuzz I find something knew I missed like them cocking the guns everytime they run at the end. But the biggest one for me is:
‘Do you know why they’re called the Andys?’
“Because they’re both called andrew?”
“And talking to them is a bit of an uphill struggle’
Took me waaaay too many watches to catch the Andes/Andy’s difficulty hike but. I blame the immediate trash can to the face as a distraction.
In Monty Python and the Holy Grail when the taunting Frenchman calls the knights “keniggets” I thought it was just some obscure British insult I wasn’t getting. It took me years to figure out he was pronouncing “knights” phonetically.
“My friend, the very funny comedian Myq Kaplan, has a great joke about how comedy is one of the only art forms where the audience gets to decide what the art is. His joke is ‘If you laugh at what I say, it’s a joke. If you don’t laugh, it’s a poem! You decide.’”
In Ghostbusters, Louis Tully, the Keymaster, kept locking himself out of his apartment.
GeoffreySpaulding:
39 f*****g years and I just got that.
Carteeg_Struve:
Took me forever growing to realize the Gatekeeper and Keymaster titles were literally talking about privates.
“You ever been on a shrimp boat?”
… “no, I been on a real big boat”
This one probably took me 20 years and 60 watches [laugh out loud].
JackRagz:
Bubba asks Forrest if he’s ever been on “a real shrimp boat”, but Forrest thinks he’s asking if he’s ever been on a really small boat.
In shawshank redemption when Red is being asked whys he called Red he quips its probably because he’s Irish. In the Stephen King book Red isn’t a black man but rather an Irish man w red hair so it makes sense.
