What are some of the most iconic comedy movie lines in history?

Tasha Kildale

Hey there,

When it comes to iconic comedy movie lines, there are so many to choose from! Here are just a few that come to mind:

1. "I'll be back." - Arnold Schwarzenegger as The Terminator in Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991)
Okay, so this line might not seem all that funny on its own, but it's been parodied and referenced in countless movies and TV shows. Plus, it's just fun to imitate Arnold's accent and intonation.

2. "Here's looking at you, kid." - Humphrey Bogart as Rick Blaine in Casablanca (1942)
This line has become synonymous with classic Hollywood cinema. It's romantic and nostalgic, but also has a funny sort of bluntness to it.

3. "I'm the king of the world!" - Leonardo DiCaprio as Jack Dawson in Titanic (1997)
While not strictly a comedy, Titanic has its fair share of lighter moments. This line, uttered as Jack stands at the bow of the ship, has often been parodied and referenced in other media.

4. "You can't handle the truth!" - Jack Nicholson as Colonel Nathan R. Jessup in A Few Good Men (1992)
This line has become so iconic that it's almost cliche at this point. However, Nicholson's delivery is still as powerful and memorable as ever.

5. "I'm king of the world!" - Tom Hanks as Josh Baskin in Big (1988)
Like Titanic, Big is more of a lighthearted film than an outright comedy. Still, this line (which is a clear reference to the aforementioned Titanic line) has become a pop culture staple.

6. "It's alive! It's alive!" - Colin Clive as Dr. Henry Frankenstein in Frankenstein (1931)
While Frankenstein may be more of a horror film, this line has become a comedic reference in its own right. It's often used as a punchline to mock scientific hubris.

7. "I love lamp." - Steve Carell as Brick Tamland in Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (2004)
Anchorman is full of quotable lines, but this one is particularly absurd and hilarious. It's a testament to Carell's comedic timing that he's able to wring so much humor out of such a simple statement.

8. "You're gonna need a bigger boat." - Roy Scheider as Chief Martin Brody in Jaws (1975)
Jaws is another film that straddles the line between genres, but this line is undeniably funny (even if it's meant to be a little ominous as well). It's also a great example of how a seemingly throwaway line can become a cultural touchstone.

9. "To infinity... and beyond!" - Tim Allen as Buzz Lightyear in Toy Story (1995)
For a whole generation of kids (myself included), this line was practically a mantra. It perfectly captures the sense of boundless imagination and optimism that makes Toy Story such a beloved film.

10. "You talkin' to me?" - Robert De Niro as Travis Bickle in Taxi Driver (1976)
Like the Terminator line, this one might not seem all that comedic on its own. However, De Niro's delivery has since become the stuff of legend, and the line is often parodied or referenced in a humorous context.

Of course, this is just a small sampling of all the iconic comedy movie lines out there. Which ones are your favorites?

Take care,
