#5: Dude, Where’s My Car? -2000
The 80s had Bill & Ted. The 90s had Wayne’s World. The 2000s had Dude Where is My Car?
The slapstick buddy comedy starring Ashton Kutcher and Seann William Scott as Jesse and Chester, two bumbling stoners, wake up one morning from a night of partying and cannot remember where they parked their car. It also stars Kristy Swanson and Jennifer Garner.
Quote:
Jesse: Dude! You got a tattoo!
Chester: So do you, dude! Dude, what does my tattoo say?
Jesse: “Sweet!” What about mine?
Chester: “Dude!” What does mine say?
Jesse: “Sweet!” What about mine?
Chester: “Dude!” What does mine say?

Jesse: [screaming] “Sweet!”
#4: Shaun of the Dead- 2004
When the Zombie Apocalypse hits England, two mates take a different approach to what is happening. They attempt to show how useful they are by saving their family. It stars Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. The scene in the pub with the bar fight with Zombies is amazing and ties into my quote.
Quote:
“David kill the Queen” as Don’t Stop Me Now is playing on the Jukebox at the pub for the fight sequence but the music is drawing in the Dead.
#3: Mean Girls – 2004
A movie about high school popularity and the Queen Bees that run it. This was the new “Heathers” from the 80s. The new girl, Cady Heron, is brought into the popular clique, The Plastics. The Plastics turn on her after she dates the wrong guy. It stars Lindsay Lohan, Jonathan Bennett, and Rachel McAdams.
Quote:
“On Wednesdays we wear pink”
#2: Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby -2006
A NASCAR racing movie that even the stars of the sport love. This movie is so quotable and crazy. It stars Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly.
Quote:
“Dear 8 pounds 6 ounces… newborn infant Jesus, don’t even know a word yet.”
And my Top comedy movie form the 2000s is…
#1: Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story -2004
Average Joes is a gym for a happy lot of rejects. To save the gym, they have to win the national dodgeball championship in Vegas on ESPN The Ocho. It stars Vince Vaughn, Ben Stiller, and Christine Taylor.
Quote:
Patches O’Houlihan: “If you’re going to become true dodgeballers, then you’ve got to learn the five d’s of dodgeball: dodge, duck, dip, dive and dodge!” You have to say Dodge twice because it is that important.
