I had an interesting conversation with a friend who doesn't like the classic movie "A Christmas Story". Among his list of complaints was the Chinese restaurant scene's alleged blatant racism. Can someone please explain how this is racist? I think it's comedy gold.

    Disagree.

    South Park is the funniest show on TV.

    The only thing your friend had right is that "A Christmas Story" sucks. It's overrated and was okay for watching the first time, but the dinguses who watch it every Christmas because they think it is classic are fucking lame. I'll take Home Alone over that movie every time.

    Comedy gold? Fuck, I would hate for you to watch Wedding Crashers, Step Brothers, or a movie that is actually funny.

    I like to Mach classic comedies by referencing overrated comedies like Step Brothers, that's what I like to do.

    A Christmas Story > Step Brothers.

    With a bullet.

    Disagree. Christmas story is a fantastic movie. Step Brothers and Wedding Crashers are also both good. I would take Home Alone over Christmas Story as well.

    I thought that suggestive leg lamp was far more offensive than this scene

    Not sure about the goat, but Wedding Crashers was pretty funny. I'd take Old School, Anchorman and especially Borat over it, from that 2003-2007 era, though. I'm probably forgetting something else too.

    If you are over the age of 7, how does a Christmas Story make you laugh? Maybe a small chuckle once or twice if you haven't seen it for a few years. What parts do you guys think are so funny? The Asians singing is the funniest part. When Ralphie says fuck? When he gets his mouth washed out with soap? When his brother acts like a pig at the dinner table? When the kid gets his tongue stuck to the pole? When Ralphie shoots his eye out?

    Old School and Borat are great. Borat for the first time was incredible. The first half of Wedding Crashers is the goat when it comes to comedy, and has held up very well over time. Anchorman is an entertaining movie, but Step Brothers is way funnier. More belly laughs in Step Brothers for sure. Take a few bong rips, a joint, a knife hit, or however else you prefer smoking some weed and watch that one again.

    I imagine it's the same age group that finds the Three Stooges funny.

    I just like the plot and the character development. And the way they used foreshadowing.

    But seriously. Home Alone is stupid because of the sappy ending and feel good bullshit, and I have no idea why you mentioned non-holiday movies in this thread.

    The moral of the story is.... If you hate Raphie and his bb gun, you hate America. And you are a commie.
