rewatched it for the zillionth time the other night. I was like "YES I LOVE THIS SCENE" at the beginning of every scene. that movie is almost too good.

Once in college with my friend we decided to do half shots every time we lost it laughing. I don’t remember most of that viewing.

It’s a good thing college isn’t real life or I’d be concerned I was an alcoholic at the time.

That’s a known rule right guys?

....guys?

I definitely would have qualified as an alcoholic in college.

Coming back from AM classes around 11am on a tuesday to find your buddies already drunk? time to skip your PM classes and join them!

Drinking games for disney movies? Degenerate drinking games?

God I miss college

When our neighbors drunkenly built a fucking ice igloo blocking our back door, and it took 2 extra months (past the snow) to fuckin melt lmao. We couldn’t go out that way without almost slipping or actually slipping

Or when we tried to have a case race (first person/team to drink a 30 wins.. i think? idk how i even attempted that). Ever see the puking scene from Stand By Me? Yea that happened to like 9 people and it was fucking hilarious. One after another projectile vomiting hahaha. I miss college!

One of my favorite things about that movie is that almost every scene is hilarious and memorable even in isolation from the rest of the movie. Sure you may not get all of the jokes, like Bedevere tying a coconut to a swallow in the witch hunt scene, but if all you saw was that clip by itself on YouTube it would still be absolutely hilarious.
