America's $1 Funnyman

You know, like in Gladiator. "My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, Commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions, loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius. Father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife. And I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next."

Doesn't have to be that long, but I always get a kick out of people having cool or funny, elaborate, or just memorable descriptive nickname type of things. I did not know where on the internet to post this. I know Cinema Discusso has some of the best buffs around, and cult movies and retro genre stuff in particular I think may have some good ones like that. I'm getting some deja vu thinking of them, but aren't quite coming to mind!

Doesn't need to be a self-describing really long sentence, but those are good too, any memorable nickname or description. Post 'em here!


Here's one from Repo Man, these ones I'm thinking of are just describing accomplishments in elaborate detail, but that's just the tip of the iceberg here folks.

"You're fuckin' right I'm Plettschner! Otto Plettschner! Three times decorated in two world wars! I was killing people while you were still swimming around in your father's balls! You little scumbag! I worked five years in a slaughterhouse, and ten years as a prison guard in Attica!"


You know, stuff like "Breaker of Chains" or "They call me Mister Tibbs", or to make one up, "I'm the Mr. T of Bon appétit!"

I think Denzel should always go by The Man On Whom King Kong Ain't Got poo poo, but maybe that's cheating.

Success!



Not quite elaborate (and not quite film) but I always liked the crime flashbacks in Oz (and in dialogue) where they mention the character nicknames:

Chucky ‘The Enforcer’ Pancamo.
Frankie ‘the fixer’ Urbano.
Yuri Kosigyn ‘the most brutal hit man in Little Odessa’

I also liked when characters tried to demand a nickname but nobody gave a gently caress like the character that kept getting worked up and pissy because nobody would call him ‘Bricks’.

I've been sitting here for 5 mins trying to think of a joke to make but I just realised the animators of Mass Effect already did it for me

I remember liking this one.

You ever do the chicken dance at a wake? That really bothers people.

quote:

My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions and loyal servant to the TRUE emperor, Marcus Aurelius. Father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife. And I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next.

Still a great scene.
