I literally searched for a video just to hear Madeline Kahn’s delivery of that line, I was not disappointed. I always quote it internally whenever people around me are acting ridiculous. 🤣
Wadsworth: Your first husband also disappeared Mrs. White: That was his job, he was an illusionist Wadsworth: but he never reappeared Mrs. White: He wasn't a very good illusionist
Col. Mustard: “This is WAR, Peacock! Casualties are inevitable, you CANNOT make an omelet without breaking eggs, EVERY cook will tell you that!” Mrs. Peacock: “BUT LOOK WHAT HAPPENED TO THE COOK!”
And the bit that makes that line even funnier, if I recall right is Wadsworth following the pair to look into the room with a expression on his face that clearly says "Two corpses and everything's *fine?!*"
Plum: "He won't be driving anywhere, Officer; I can promise you that!" Cop: "Someone will give him a ride home?" Scarlett: "Oh, we'll call him a car." Plum: "A long, black car!" Scarlett: [elbow] "A limousine!"
@@maddiesmusings Hoover was the director of the FBI (from 1924-1972) and was infamous for spying on suspected 'political enemies'. Basically he illegally wire-tapped lots of peoples' phones including Marilyn Monroe, Eleanor Roosevelt, Helen Keller, Walt Disney, and Lucille Ball, among many others.
Wadsworth: "Ours not to reason why; ours but to do and die." Plum: Die? Wadsworth: Merely quoting, sir, from Alfred Lord Tennyson. Mustard: Hmm. I prefer Kipling myself. "The female of the species is much more deadly than the male." You like Kipling, Miss Scarlett? Scarlett: Sure, I'll eat anything.
Three in my top ten that I haven't seen in the comments: (1) Miss Scarlett: "Why not? I enjoy getting presents from strange men." (2) Mrs. White: "It's a matter of life or death: now that he's dead, I have a life." (3) Mr. Green/Wadsworth: *slaps Mrs. Peacock* "I had to stop her screaming."
I love #9 Wadsworth: Professor Plum, you were once a professor of psychiatry specializing in helping paranoid and homicidal lunatics suffering from delusions of grandeur. Professor Plum: Yes, but now I work for the United Nations. Wadsworth: So your work has not changed
I have seen the film many times, but this video was the first time I've spotted that joke. I laughed out loud as I hadn't even realised before that the line was a joke. It truly took me by surprise.
@@retrogiftsuk4812 That was in the novelization after his change of specialty was revealed, I think Miss Scarlet asking something like, "You mean if we want to know about you-know-what, we have to go to UNO WHO?"
Mrs. Peacock: “Oh who cares?!! That guy doesn’t matter!! Let him stay locked up for another half an hour! The p o l i c e will be here by then and there ARE TWO DEAD BODIES IN THE STUDY!!!” Everyone: SHHHHHHHHH
i also loved the line referring to monkey's brains, Mr. Green says "Is that what we ate? puke!" and the cop says, "its too late ive seen it all.....don't worry there's nothing illegal about any of this! ....iTS a free country, don't you know that?" and Wadsworth says, "I didn't know it was THAT free."
The Cop: "I'll book you for false arrest, and wrongful imprisonment, obstructing an officer in the course of his duty, and murder!" Wadsworth: "What did you mean, 'murder'"? The Cop: "I just said that so you'd open the door!"
Just saw the movie with my friends at a theater that was showing classic films. Everything was fantastic but I simply lost it at Tim Curry going, “What is this another door? *shower sprays him in the face*” This whole movie was hilarious start to finish
Wadsworth: Monkey's brains, though popular in Cantonese cuisine are not often to be found in Washington, DC. Mr. Green: Is that what we ate... (urp) (staggers to bathroom)
"This is war, Peacock! Casualties are inevitable. You cannot make an omelet without breaking a few eggs. Every cook will tell you that." "But look what happened to the cook!" So many lines, it would be hard to quote a top 10. In our family we just quote the whole thing. We have had to replace a couple of VHS/DVD copies because we have literally worn them out. 😂😂
For some reason the one that always jumps to my mind is the "Let us in! Let us in!" "Let us OUT! Let us OUT!" line. It wasn't the funniest by far but it just sticks with me. Also "Communism is just a red herring." Really though there is no way you can limit it to just 10 lines and do the film anything resembling justice. This film is pretty much one entire string of quotable and and funny lines, great comedic timing, and memorable scenes.
I remember in my freshman year of high school, my forensic’s final was to make a detailed crime scene model and have an explanation of what happened. Decided to make mine based on this movie and ended up making one model for each ending in the movie. A lot of cut backs to save time and I had to pull an all nighter the night it was due to write the explanation. Overall my teacher offered extra credit to the whole class because she felt I put in way too much work 😅😂
Clue is my family's most watched movie of all time.My 3 brothers and I can recite the whole movie from start to finish.We used to always get the vcr version from the library when we were kids..And my favorite line is your number 1
When I think of Clue, the first thing I think of is "I'M NOT SHOUTING!...OKAY! I'M SHOUTING! I'M SHOUTING!! I'M SHOU-" Also had no clue this documentary existed and now I must see it!
-Well, there's no need to shout. Wadsworth -I'm not shouting!... Alright, I am! ... I'm shouting! I'm shouting! -- BOOP!! Knocked out by candelabra! Lol!!
lol, the whole time I am like "where is the flames on the side of my face" and you set it as number 1. That is right! You did miss the breaking eggs and he works for unowho
It took me years to notice Mrs. White snap Col. Mustard's suspender. Always was too busy laughing at 'Mrs. Peacock was a man' line, that I laughed past it. ☕
Plum: Are you afraid of Silence mrs. Peacock.... you seem to suffer from what we call pressure speech... White: so your doctor... Plum: I am but I don't practice Plum: you don't know what kind of people that have the UN I might go up in their estimation Cop: This man's drunk dead drunk Scarlet: dead right Cop: you're not going to drive home or are you Plum: he won't be driving home officer I promise you that cop: someone will give him a lift Scarlet: oh we'll we'll get him a car Plum: a long black car Scarlet: a limousine oh Plum: It's You And Me HoneyBunch
One of the awesome things about Ms. White's line about Yvette is the line in the screenplay was simply "Yes I did it. I killed Yvette, I hated her". Most of the actors lines in the shooting draft we're pretty spot on to what they say in the film, except for Madeline Khan. So sad shes gone.
One of the best movies ever! I actually listen to it while working in the kitchen at a restaurant on my earbuds. I can picture the entire movie perfectly. I've made sure to pass my love for this classic on to my kids (adults now) who can also quote it almost verbatim.
Trying to open the billiard room door after hearing screaming Scarlet "it's locked!" Mustard "open up!" Plum "it must be the murderer" Green "why would he scream?"
One of my favorite bits is Professor Plum's job. United Nations Organization, World Health Organization, or UNO WHO, or you know who. The fact this really exist just kills me.
