Auntie Mame - "I stepped on the ping pong ball"

[unclealand]

Has anyone ever seen or read even one interview with Joanna Barnes? Wouldn't it be great to hear her talk about playing Gloria Upson and creating the prototype for young women of today? Too funny.

[lollipopfop]

I love Gloria's voice and mannerisms. LoveLoveLove. Its interesting. I wonder if people used to have better diction in general.

[buzzbaybear]

@lollipopfop. well, growing up we used to call this diction 'debutante lockjaw' - It was only heard from those who went to private school - verrry private school mind you. Now I think it's just called 'affected' Joanna Barnes played it to the hilt hilariously.

[Keltster]

"the very semi-finals mind you !"

[nikyboyify]

My all time favourite movie!!!

[Jguy365]

Somebody needs to upload the scene when Mr. Upson says "Honeyeyey"

[Jguy365]

Classic! I wish people these days could see the goodness of old movies... entertaining and no explosions!

[grrrlshawn]

God I love this movie!!!

[unclealand]

Wonder who finally did win the ping pong tournament? They never tell us.

[latice]

@unclealand They had to call the whole thing off!

[lollipopfop]

@unclealand Yes they do. They had to call it off as the ball was wrecked.

Trading Places: "and she stepped on the ball!"

[alexrivera03]

Merry New Year!

Happy New Year. In this country we say, "Happy New Year."

Hahahahahahahaha.

[robbourassaguitarist]

This is one of the best comedic scenes of any movie.

[COACHBUFF504]

Joanna Barnes rocks!

Check her performance on the Beverly Hillbillies when she mistakens Clampett's outfits as couture! It's a two-parter I've perenially saved on my DVR.

[GlamaTube]

that's just top-drawer

[latice]

"OH?!" "Yes!" I love how out of proportion that "OH!" is.

Roz kills even when not speaking. Get a load of that tiny double-take after "We had to call the whole thing off!"

[OldHollywood93]

Joanna Barnes looks so much like Sandra Dee in this film.

[junglered]

Well, I bet Muriel Puce thought it was hilarious.

[Powerhaus70]

If you ever need to show what's wrong with white people... here you go!

[shadrachian]

@Powerhaus70

I needed that laugh! Thank you!

[poosaypirate]

@Powerhaus70 and whats wrong with black people is racism

HONK HONK



[ptboat67]

Back in the dark ages, I had a friend who could have a room doubled over in paroxysms of laughter when he would recite this.

[dcm559]

I LOVE this movie!!!!

[ladyvee7110]

...And after her story all you heard were crickets.

[dezinator]

well it was just ghaaastly!

[Chitown1296]

Those are some hilarious accents.

[brownies4you]

Gloria Upson looks like Hilary Clinton when Bill Clinton was President....her hairstyle (sort of) and her eyebrows.

[Graydon902]

I always wondered what Bunny Bixler looked like!

[poosaypirate]

@Graydon902 i say brown hair kinda like that girl from sex in the city, the prudy one

[latice]

@Graydon902 You cracked me right up with this comment

[buzzbaybear]

@Graydon902 me too - but I bet we all have the same mental image of Muriel Puce.

[sheetmusic1624]

Only if he's lucky.

[Graydon902]

If he's already gay anyway, he'll eventually find it and treasure it! Consider yourself lucky!

[poosaypirate]

@GirlyNation Is that what your problem is ???



[natureboyallday]

well it was just ghasly... HAHAHAhhhaaalolololohAAhhAhhAa­aHa

[garymuzik]

This has got to be the funniest scenes in such a classic! I mean it was just ghastly!
