- TotalHalibut, on 01/08/2008, -4/+73Are you kidding? The deliberately cheesy puns are some of the best bits.
- MrMeikel, on 01/08/2008, -0/+29Helps to be English (British/whatever) for some puns. Author went on and on about how "a head for heights" doesn't make any sense, but it's a commonly used phrase in the UK (disclaimer: at least where I'm from).
- chestertonb, on 01/08/2008, -0/+26*runs hand up stewardess' thigh* "Any higher Mr Bond and my ears will pop"
Class. Bond 4tw. - fani, on 01/08/2008, -1/+26Sheemsh to me that you losht your shex appeal.
- sindex, on 01/08/2008, -2/+23Replying that Kananga had an inflated opinion of himself is like a friend asking you if you've seen where he left his gloves and replying, "Your gloves are fuzzy."
***** awesome. lol - mattr12345, on 01/08/2008, -1/+21"Bond is getting a fencing lesson from Madonna, who looks like an S&M grandma with a poodle haircut."
Ha Ha Ha So True. - mumblingmynah, on 01/08/2008, -4/+24'To make this work, you'd almost need Leiter to have run into, say, a genetically modified baboon trained in the art of debate. Leiter challenges him on several points, and the baboon flies into a rage and eats him. Thus, "He disagreed with something that ate him." See, there's a pun the whole audience can enjoy.'
Oh, snap. - blackmage439, on 01/08/2008, -1/+20Pure gold. I always love to "Crack" a good joke.
- calon9, on 01/08/2008, -0/+18eye agree with you completely.
- copperhead, on 01/08/2008, -1/+17I usually don't post excerpts from the article as a comment, but this one is worthy of an exception...
"We admit it. We're not ready for middle-aged woman innuendo, mostly because it brings up dark memories of dad walking into the kitchen and saying, "I've got the new fridge. I'll pull around and bring it in that way."
Mom then says, "You always did like putting it in the back door."
Then they'd give each other that hungry, knowing look. We'd stare at them over our cereal, not quite sure what was going on, but feeling the chill of something horrible having passed unseen through their conversation.
Thanks for the mental image, Mr. Bond." - MacCombe, on 01/08/2008, -0/+13I thought the 'attempting re-entry' line was priceless, and all the more hilarious because I didn't get it for years and years because I was too young!
And, there's this one:
From The Man with the Golden Gun -
(The belly dancer's jewel gets dislodged from her navel during a fight)
Belly dancer: Oh no! I've lost my charm!
Bond: Not from where I'm standing. - chestertonb, on 01/08/2008, -1/+12I bet "The Rock" is never out of your DVD player. He he.
- Peenie, on 01/08/2008, -0/+11James Bond's Comedy DVD, from the Peter Serafinowicz Show:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p7LjOy9UrPI - mikehill33, on 01/08/2008, -1/+11mixing movie quotes is AUTOMATIC FAIL!
"My name is Pussy Galore"
"Oh, that's my little Octopussy" - jjcool430, on 01/08/2008, -6/+15You mean between all the explosions and sex with hot Bond girls...they TALK?!?
- friend18, on 01/08/2008, -0/+9http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dC_QSEvpmyA
- 1Cycopath, on 01/08/2008, -1/+10I don't care. Connery (and Ed Harris) gets my wife hot and that gets me laid so I own everything they ever starred in.
- solid12345, on 01/08/2008, -0/+8Bleh i'm going with the puns. Don't believe the Craig fanboys who mention how Casino Royale made Bond serious again. Bond was NEVER serious, I mean come on Dr. No had a giant robotic dragon on the beaches of Jamaica for christ's sake. Bond is mean't to be a little campy.
- DeviantDragon, on 01/08/2008, -5/+13I think a 21 digg article is the fewest number of diggs I've seen to front page something.
- BOFH2, on 01/08/2008, -1/+9The puns are necessary.
- Neiby, on 01/08/2008, -1/+8Seems odd. Did Cracked.com become a Digg advertiser or something?
- enicholas, on 01/08/2008, -1/+7Seconded, common expression in the southeast as well, along with all of the other ones that seemed to baffle Cracked.
- neio, on 01/08/2008, -5/+11My name is pussy, Octapussy
- thailand1972, on 01/08/2008, -1/+7I like the corniness. I just can't imagine a serious Roger Moore - he's taking the piss all the way through his Bond movies.
- missjewl, on 01/08/2008, -1/+7First of all, when the Bond movies were first made, blatant sexual comments were not acceptable in movies. The sexual references had to be "hidden" inside puns and humor. This has become part of the Bond franchise, and now a Bond movie would not be complete without these jokes. Secondly, the writer doesn't have a good understanding of commonly used phrases. Not having a head for heights is a phrase that has common usage; just because the writer had never heard it does not mean that others misunderstand it. This writer just didn't know enough about the subject to speak on it.
- Plotinus, on 01/08/2008, -2/+81) The puns are part of the charm.
2) He's a British character so the puns are british slang e.g. a head for heights is still in common usage
3) Ageist wankers - the new moneypenny is cute - Cink420, on 01/08/2008, -0/+6I must say, Cracked.com is probably my favorite Digg spammer because despite the countless grammatical errors one will find in their articles they're really quite creative. Plus the similar articles they suggest at the end are usually hilarious.
- JavaMage, on 01/08/2008, -0/+6A couple from from Diamonds are Forever:
Plenty O'Toole: "Hi, I'm Plenty"
Bond: "But of course you are"
Later, Plenty is wearing a neglige:
Bond: "That's a nice little nothing you're almost wearing"
BTW: The "I think he's attempting reentry" line that Q said was while Q was looking at an instrument panel; he didn't know what Bond was really doing... - scottnash, on 01/08/2008, -0/+5Unlike any of the other lines, that one (He disagreed with something that ate him) was actually written by Ian Fleming and is from the novel, "Live and Let Die"
- tdelet, on 01/08/2008, -1/+6Just a Digg spammer.
- inactive, on 01/08/2008, -1/+6back on topic: i think it was awesome because there were none of those cringey puns present.
more of this please - Tyrghast, on 01/08/2008, -0/+5these puns are a trademark of the Bond movies, it contributes to why they're all so enjoyable.
- zachshmack, on 01/08/2008, -0/+4I can't BELIEVE this didn't make it, but maybe it was disqualified since Bond wasn't the one who said it.
From "Licence to Kill":
[Sanchez has just blown up Milton Krest in a decompression chamber full of money, splattering blood all over it]
Perez: What about the money, patron?
Franz Sanchez: Launder it. - inactive, on 01/08/2008, -0/+4Jeeze . . . James Bond flicks are supposed to FUN, to be ENTERTAINMENT. The corny puns are part of the formula. Complaining about these is like having Bella Abzug or Janet Reno (you youngsters can look up the names - they were / are even uglier than the clinton thing) complain about the babes in sexy outfits or the Kumbaya set complaining about the fight scenes. Get over it, already. Sheesh. Dug up for the memories!
- jonborthwick, on 01/08/2008, -0/+4It's sex for dinner and death for breakfast.
- ToastPop, on 04/17/2009, -0/+3These are hilarious. Corny, but that's why they are great.
- tehknotte, on 01/08/2008, -0/+3lol wtf
- inactive, on 01/08/2008, -4/+7It's also really common here in the US as where the other ones that they didn't seem to know. Makes me wonder if the cracked people ever get out and interact with real people
- holyskeleton, on 01/08/2008, -0/+3"Your gloves are fuzzy."
- iCallShotgun, on 01/08/2008, -0/+3Every time I read an article from cracked.com I end up laughing out loud in the classroom.
- sauron256, on 01/08/2008, -0/+3Half of the lines appear to be the writers not understanding British sayings. Like they don't understand the phrase "He got the boot", which is still commonly used in England and Australia.
- inactive, on 01/08/2008, -5/+8James Bond fights are ***** hillarious. They always look like they have absolutely no flexibility whatsoever. Espescially when Connery kicked someone. He almost had to sit down to lift his legs.
And what was that black guy doing with the knife in the first video? Gayest fighting style in cinematic history. - SmooveO, on 01/08/2008, -0/+3I never understood why my dad was such a big fan of Bond... until now.
- Myonosken, on 01/08/2008, -0/+3That's not moneypenny... Money penny is M's secretary
- sdcarter, on 01/08/2008, -1/+4Are you kidding?! That campy crap was so bad I had to turn it off within minutes of starting it. Craig is way more convincing than Brosnan (who was nothing but a better version of Dalton). He may not be Connery; but give him some more time to grow into the role and he'll surpass Roger Moore.
I just hope they have less parkour/action and more espionage. - Ndiggnation, on 01/08/2008, -0/+2That's what the book was mainly about, the card game itself. Though it was Baccarat, James signature game. I can see why they changed it to Poker, for modern times, but Baccarat always seemed classier.
- AWooWoo, on 01/08/2008, -5/+7I love Bond movies. I say the cornea the better.
- tehknotte, on 01/08/2008, -1/+3I'm not sure you can be more wrong about this. Who cares if he's blond or not? I thought discussion over his hair color ended a long time ago when people realized he came to portray Bond properly.
- d17182, on 01/09/2008, -0/+2Reminds me of this gem from Cracked:
http://www.cracked.com/article_15699_9-most-badass ...
' You can almost picture the scene: An Egyptian soldier is wailing on a hapless Hebrew when Moses, clothed in head-to- toe black, drops down from the ceiling. Moving with cat-like grace, he sneaks up behind the soldier and, taking his head in his hands, snaps the man's neck with one savage twist. As the lifeless body slumps to the ground, Moses lights up a cigar. "Well," he quips, "looks like someone bit off more than he could Jew." ' - Tk007, on 01/08/2008, -0/+2Don't forget about Pussy Galore.... she was my fav
