Here is a classic scene from Caddyshack, one of the funniest movies from the 1970′s. Starring Bill Murray, Rodney Dangerfield, Chevy Chase, Ted Knight, and DANNY – the world needs ditchdiggers Danny…

Bill Murray went on to act in Stripes, Groundhog Day, Ghostbusters, The Razor’s Edge, and many other modern legends.

Sir Rodney Dangerfield gets more respect now than when he was alive. He was also in Easy Money, Back to School, The Onion Movie (which you really ought to check out if you like the stuff on this site), and A Comedy Salute to Andy Kaufman.

Chevy Chase was in some other funny movies including Vacation, Vegas Vacation (mainly funny for Randy Quaid’s character), European Vacation (which actually was less funny – a copy of a copy of a copy), and a bunch of movies that I think are not so funny.

Ted Knight is probably best known for his role on the Mary Tyler Moore show.

Caddyshack gave birth to some classic quotes from its starring artists:

Sandy: I want you to kill every gopher on the golf course!

Carl Spackler: Correct me if I’m wrong Sandy, but if I kill all the golfers, they’re gonna lock me up and throw away the key…

Sandy: Not golfers, you great fool! Gophers! The *little* *brown*, *furry* *rodents* -!

Carl Spackler: We can do that; we don’t even have to have a reason. All right, let’s do the same thing, but with gophers -!

Lacey Underall: Who’s you decorator? Bennihana?
Ty Webb: No, I brought most of that stuff back with me from Vietnam.
Lacey Underall: You were in the war?
Ty Webb: [limping and patting his butt] No… Homo.

Judge Smalls:  It’s easy to grin / When your ship comes in / And you’ve got the stock market beat. / But the man worthwhile, / Is the man who can smile, / When his shorts are too tight in the seat.

Sir Rodney [to his Asian companion]:
I hear this place is restricted, Wang, so don’t tell ‘em you’re Jewish, okay?

Ty Webb: You take drugs, Danny?

Danny Noonan: Every day.

Ty Webb: Good. Then what’s your problem?

Danny Noonan: I don’t know.

And for the win I give you the wisdom of Carl Spackler:

So I jump ship in Hong Kong and make my way over to Tibet, and I get on as a looper at a course over in the Himalayas. A looper, you know, a caddy, a looper, a jock. So, I tell them I’m a pro jock, and who do you think they give me? The Dalai Lama, himself. Twelfth son of the Lama. The flowing robes, the grace, bald… striking. So, I’m on the first tee with him. I give him the driver. He hauls off and whacks one – big hitter, the Lama – long, into a ten-thousand foot crevasse, right at the base of this glacier. Do you know what the Lama says? Gunga galunga… gunga, gunga-galunga. So we finish the 18th and he’s gonna stiff me. And I say, “Hey, Lama, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know.” And he says, “Oh, uh, there won’t be any money, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness.” So I got that goin’ for me, which is nice.
