How do you find humor in everyday life?
When you think of golf, comedy isn’t the first thing that comes to mind.
Caddyshack lightened the tension of golf in a way that had rarely been done before.
Without Caddyshack leading the way, sports comedy movies such as Happy Gilmore, Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story, and Major League, may never have come to fruition.
One of my favorite things about comedy movies is that they always point to the bright side of a situation.
After the credits roll, I’m usually in a happier, more optimistic mood than when I started the film.

You know a movie has imprinted on your soul when you watch it and the person next to you quotes lines INCORRECTLY and you just can’t help CORRECTING them! My favorite Lacy Underall line? “Who’s your interior decorator? Beni Hana?!” Rodney Dangerfield? “Hey, Wang! What’s with the pictures ? It’s a parking lot!” And “Hey, Wang I think this place is restricted so don’t tell them you are Jewish, ok? fine!” Thanks to Harold Ramis and all that made this movie because it is my “GO TO” movie when I NEED to laugh!

What about Dr Beepers lines? “Hey save me a toke!””Well, just snake a tube down her nose”. When Danny comes to the dock for Smails boat launch and the girl sitting at the table says “Who are you? Dick Cavett?!” You look like a scotch ad!” But my all favorites are the Havecamps! Playing golf and ball ricochets off a tree almost hitting the caddy and his wife’s hitting her ball and he says “That’s a peach hon.” At Smails house”That must be the tea!” The ultimate line was when Smails tells Porterhouse to polish his shoes. After hearing the joke Smails asks the Reverend if he’s heard, Porterhouse mumbles I der his breath, “Colored Boy?! Why you son of a bitch I’ll show you!” and proceeds to burn up Smails golf shoes (start smoking)! I was a movie theater assistant manager when this movie debuted and had 20 something age employees who ALL HAD EVERY LINE MEMORIZED IN ONLY 2 or 3 days! They never talked “normal” to each other, or to me , afterwards!
