Jokes in movies you didn't get until later

[LeChuck]

I think the beginning of Ghostbusters pretty much takes the cake. I didn't even get that joke (the psychology one) until I was in highschool.

 

[The Kid]

Everything in ghostbusters went over my head until puberty when I watched it again and said "ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooohhhh, get em hard... ha ha"

 

[Drizzle]

You guys'll think I'm ******ed, but here goes. When I was a little kid (around six) and I saw Jurassic Park, I never got the joke that Tim told Alan in the tree. "What do you call a blind dinosaur? Doyouthinkhesaurus." It went completely over my head until a few years later. Once I figured it out, I just said "I'm dumb." For the record, it was a lame joke anyway.

Some friends and I watched "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" on a whim the other night...(the live action one from the 80's) I hadn't seen it in years and heard a joke I never got during the first viewings when I was little.

Donatello: "You're claustrophobic!"
Casey Jones: "What? I've never even looked at another man!"

So that was kinda funny...

 

[Kevin Roegele]

Ghostbusters: "He's a sailor, he's in New York - we get this guy laid, we won't have any trouble."

I used to think it was 'late', not 'laid'. I had no idea!

[Donnie Darko]

Mrs. Doubtfire. Like, the whole movie.

 

[Mr. Socko]

Everything in Ghostbusters and in Ghostbusters II:

Venkman: Hi, Egon. How's school? I bet those science chicks really dig that large cranium of yours, huh?

Egon: I think they're more interested in my epididymis.

 

[black_dust]

Some in Indiana Jones flew over my head when i first saw them as a young whipper snapper

 

[The Dark Defender]

Donatello: He's Claustrophobic.

Casey: You want a fist in the mouth?! I've never even looked at a guy!

Didn't understand that one was a kid.

 

[The Kid]

That's what's great about that movie. it didn't try to pander and condescend to children like so many do today... and what its sequel eventually did as a matter of fact...

I also thought for years that Marty says "Holy U-geefs" because that's how his "oh ****" was censored for tv... lol

and I thought michael j fox was hot before i learned he was playing his daughter in the second movie.... damn you michael j fox

 

[BeserkerHilf]

yea SP, already been covered

 

[Reek]

90% of anchorman... until i saw it twice

 

[Ender Durden]

how could u not get 90% of the jokes in anchorman!? theres really nothing to get its all just stupid for stupid-sake


t: woot

 

[Reek]

i dont know if its as much 'not getting it' as not noticing it....i hated the movie first time round, loved it second time...

 

[Ender Durden]

ah yes, i see. a lot of ppl i know liked it better the second time too.

 

[Drizzle]

Also, I saw "There's Something About Mary" before I knew what *********ion or semen was, so that joke went over my head.

 

[Movies205]

Brazil (1985):

Sam Lowry: Give my best to Alison and the twins.
Jack Lint: Triplets.
Sam Lowry: Triplets? My how time flies

---

But in my defense, Terry Gilliam didn't get it either first time he read it

 

[Keymaker]

Brazil (1985):

Sam Lowry: Give my best to Alison and the twins.
Jack Lint: Triplets.
Sam Lowry: Triplets? My how time flies

Haha...that's awesome t:

Speaking of Anchorman, I thought it was pretty unfunny most of the time and have no desire to watch it again to see if I'll like it better.

 

[BeserkerHilf]

...i think i need that spelled out for me.

 

[Nightwing]

theres tons of jokes i never got the first time of seeing the films but most of the time its not actually getting them as apposed to actually hearing them.....when i first went to see Daredevil at the cinema i was concentrating that hard that it never sunk in

Elektra - Friend of yours?
Matt - You know ive never seen him before

i just completely ignored it...but marvel used pretty much the same joke twice when they used it again in FF2 so that time around i was ready for it....

 

[The Chairman]

I was 6 or 7 when I saw the first Austin Powers flick, so I never got why Alotta Fagina was so funny. Even when I found out what it meant, it took me a bit to find out it was a parody of ***** Galore.

Ditto on that one..

I think Casey said; "You wanna fist to the mouth? I've never even looked at another guy before!"

[Wolfwood]

Ace Ventura, when Ace returns the dog to the big breasted woman and she asks "How can I ever repay you?" And Ace starts listing off the damages to his car and then she says "Can I take off your pants?"

When I was a little kid, I didn't know what was going on in that scene, I saw that in the movies with my dad and I asked him, "What is she doing?" And the best thing he could come up with was "...making him more comfortable."

I was a kid the first time I saw The Crow on DVD and didn't get the "Jesus walks into..." joke at that time lol
