I like the Bacal line, when Bogie is carrying the other girl. He stops, and is looking down at her. Bacall notices this, and spits out 'are you carrying her, or trying to guess her weight?'
Such a perfect line.
And Dems may be zombies, but Reps seem to come to life when children sit in their laps!
There was a similar line in Road to Morocco. Bing notes that the bad guys are vicious and hounding them, never letting up. "The must be democrats," says Bob Hope. :)
What comes next? Bob (can't say a funny line without an autocue) gets a smack in the mouth. The thing is, regardless of your political stance (and mine is way over to the left) this isn't even a funny line. It would be no more funny if it poked fun at Republicans. You Americans are a strange bunch, though. Someone says the word "liberal" and it's like Pavlov just rang a bell.
Actually it's republicans who tend to not give a shit about what they do orsay as long as their fucking pay check is equatable to a boat house in miami. History has shown that where as both sides have their faults, most right-wing politicos only want your money and to take away civil freedoms like gay marraige and my personal favorite, freedom to basg bible thumpink rednecks.
@weirdguy75 Its actually Democrats who want to take our money through non-stop taxes. They want to strip the middle class of there hard earned money and waste it on failed stimulus packages that show no trace of helping any economy. So slowly we drift towards socialism.
@DeuceMP2 COME ON!! Lighten up, dude. It's a freakn JOKE! You are just reinforcing stereotypes about Dems...they are all politically correct, have no sense of humor, are SOCIALIST FUCKSTICKS!!!
Democrats were conservative and Republicans were liberal when this came out? Are you serious?! Deomcrats were definitely more conservative back then than they are today but the Republicans were always the more conservative. Geez....gain a little credibility before posting something so insane! Oh, and if Hope were alive today he would be kicking Obama and the Dems like no never before. Hope was always a quail hunting, conservative leaning person.
huh? Republicans were considered conservative during 1940. FDR (winning a 3rd term) was a democrat - if he were in politics today (nomenclature notwithstanding) he would certainly be considered a liberal democrat!
let's remember that at the time this movie was made, democrats were conservatives and republicans were liberals. were the term used today, the parties would be switched. IE this joke was actually a pot shot at conservatives.
Funny is funny no matter who the joke is on. Bob poked fun at every President from FDR to Clinton and no one will ever equal him. He was the master of the One-liner
Love ya, Bob! Same thing can be said of corporate slaves like me or else I'll be fired. In the firing range of great wit, all sacred cows are gettin' riddled...lighten up, it's funny! Hahahaha
Oh, yeah. The Democratic Party can't get anything because it's such a big tent. There are many points of view. The GOP, being a shrinking minority has found it easy to get it's members to march in lock step starting with their use of the "Southern Strategy". Recently the vacuum of leadership from elected leaders in the party has allowed voices on the fringe to stir up the base with lies and rumors that are dangerous for the future of the country.
Anything to feed you're self serving superstitions, fallacies and political views.
Condemn science when it negates your faith, praise it when it supports your claims on abortion.
Big government is bad when you're taxed, but it's great when you get your SBA loan to build your McDonald's Franchise.
Democrats and Republicans are just different banners raised by the corporate rulers of our nation. If you value being an american, stop the party squabble and find a balance or this democracy is dead.

Times sure have changed, the republitards are so despicable now it's appalling. Still at least the gop will never again be allowed to rig the election and steal the whitehouse like that greasy moron Cheney and his pet monkey georgie.
@DeuceMP2 Hey... We are all going to be losers if this Obama vision of American continues. You don't seem to know (or care) what in the world is happening. Looks like thinks didn't go Obama's way last election.... Sorry!

Opposite would imply that Republicans jumped further left then the Dems were. You're partially right in stating that the Dems of that time were like Republicans of today. More accurate, Republicans of today are more like Dems back were back then. Republicans have shifted to the left and the Dems as far left as they can go before they becoming total Socialists! But not a totally bad assessment from an ignorant left winger! Typical uninformed distortion of history. Good attempt at spin though.
Before you get all excited, you should know that when this movie was made, the parties were almost the opposite of what they are today, and democrats of that time were like republicans of today. Good old Bob is really poking at the right wingers, so there! It's funny when ignorant repubs make mistakes, hee hee!

Line or no line the editing in this scene is AWFUL! A terrible jump cut! When Bob Hope says, "Well maybe you know what a zombie is."
And then they have a TERRIBLE jump cut to the actor in the white suit saying his line. Just awful editing!
I know this film is really old but that is no excuse for terrible editing! Even back then! Crap filmmaking is crap filmmaking!
