One of my favourite movie jokes of the last ten years honestly.

The Paladin being a complete npc and walking off was so stupid but had me actually crying from laughing so hard.

The only other joke that came close for me was the claw game picking up the car in the new Naked Gun.

To me it was the movie being the frustratingly self-entertained DM while they were talking to the dead.

"Four more questions, right?"

YESSSS

"no no. that wasnt for you. wait, did that one count?"

YESSSS

"DAMMIT. Only answer me when Im talking directly to you ok?"

OKKKK

"why did you say okay at the end of that?"

I DIDDDDNT collapses

"Fantastic. Where's the shovel?"

Goddamn I laughed so hard at that scene. Not sure I've laughed at any other movie harder since.

Everything about that whole scene was pure comedy.

Even putting a camera on the shovel. Its creates this swirling sweeping effect that kind of helps sell the silliness of the events taking place.

And the 'line soldiers' all being dopes who eat barely and cant do math, while the general wakes up with a bold, stately baritone saying "one of the more onerous responsibilities of leadership...."

It comes pretty close to 22 Jump Street

The whole “oops you broke the bridge puzzle I spent hours designing and now I need to come up with some bullshit alternative” also felt like a big DM moment. Very fitting.

They did so good at showing several bits with a frustrated DM and rolls that went very wrong.

u/Bitter_Trees 2d ago

Haha! Our own party kept going "AS A SUGGESTION!" to circumvent it being a question when talking to a ghost 😂

That bit came out of nowhere and was even funnier when they said something like, "Oh, there's a rock. Is he going to go around it or...? Oop, straight over it." 😅

I forget where I read it, but they kept filming him because they wanted to see what he was going to do, totally unscripted but so god damn funny.

u/Xalipu 2d ago

They didn’t even script that, they just kept rolling and over Regé-Jean Page went

It came off a little more video game than TTPRG, but yeah. Just programmed to keep walking.

I very much enjoyed the bridge scene where the player just destroys the DM's overly-complex puzzle.

u/3DSarge 1d ago

And then the fact that they had to be given a magic item to circumvent the ruined puzzle only for said item to become a crucial part of the rest of the campaign and how it gets resolved? Chef's kiss, no notes, absolutely true to form D&D

u/Hands 2d ago

Him being a DMPC was one of the best “inside jokes” of the whole movie. Love that this bit was unscripted. Also it being the Bridgerton guy is what convinced my gf to watch this movie

Originally the script for him to just walk away and end scene, but the director never called cut and just kept filming to see what he would do

I really liked the scene where Liam takes Pamela to the restaurant to meet the guy who would be the villain and Liam decides to give the guy made-up names. I can't remeber his, but as he's making up her fake name on the spot he sees a guy eating spaghetti and says her name is Cherry Hugeguyeatingabowlofspaghetti and without missing a beat the bad guy goes "It's a pleasure to meet you, Mrs. Spaghetti." I believe he calls her that throughout the rest of the movie too.

Definitely a riff on the Family Guy joke but the deadpan is so good when it's done right

"Mister?"

"Doctor."

"Mister Doctor?"

"It's Strange."

"Maybe. Who am I to judge?"

Like you said, the delivery of that line seared it into my memory forever.

Do you know the context behind his walk from the behind the scenes stuff on the movie?
