The writers really hit the nail on the head of that Gen X vs. I mean, I’m not trying to get all up in your grill, raise your roof or whatever”. “Listen Artie, eh, if you think this whole mad scene ain’t dope, I feel you dude. The repetitive rhythm of this line is entertaining as hell, but Shrek’s failure to see the bigger picture makes one thing adamantly clear: Fiona is not the unreasonable one here. They extra cry, and they extra poop” – Shrek Have you seen a baby lately? All they do is eat and poop, and then they cry, and they cry when they poop, and poop when they cry. Hand it to Puss in Boots to attempt to comprehend the larger-than-life inner-workings of male infatuation. When a man falls in love with a woman, he is overcome with powerful urges…” – Puss in Boots But the campfire scene Shrek and Artie share contains some of the most character-driven, emotional dialogue in the series. Shrek 3 was by and large a disappointment. “ After a while, you learn to ignore the names people call you and just trust who you are” – Shrek Though, the thought of Shrek attending a high school is utterly far-fetched. This Eminem-Esque quip will hit home for literally anyone who wasn’t a jock or a cheerleader.
“ Well my stomach aches and my palms just got sweaty, must be a high school” – Shrek Just drop us little nuggets like these and let our imaginations run wild. The origins of Puss in Boots are laden with mystery, and that’s how I like it. “No problema, boss – in one of my nine cat lives I was the great cat burglar Santiago de Compostela!” – Puss in Boots Also a clever nod to Michael Angelo for the older audience. Such unreservedly high praise from a minor character. “Are you kiddin’? He’s gorgeous! His face looks like it was carved by angels”. Well, when you put it like that… Right? No? Okay… Don’t worry, things just seem bad because it’s dark and rainy and Fiona’s father hired a sleazy hitman to whack you. Of course, this motley crew won’t get to indulge in any such fantasies. Oh wait, it’s a nod to Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous. “It’s gonna be champagne wishes and caviar dreams from now on” – DonkeyĪn eloquent take on the supposedly-glitzy high life. Both Shrek 1 and 2 break the 4th wall sparingly, making it a treat every time it crops up. I’m sorry, the position of annoying talking animal has already been taken” – Donkey The blatant honesty sounds like something Phoebe from Friends would say. Unless, of course, I can’t find you or I forget” – Shrek Donkey has been talking his ear off without fail for two movies now, so the line has all the momentum required to hit like a truck. What you lack is the capacity” – ShrekĬrafty burn, Shrek. “Donkey, you have the right to remain silent. I know it’s not technically a line, but how can we talk about Shrek and not mention the soundtrack? All memes aside, All-Star is an astounding anti-celebrity/media/war/government anthem, and the lyrical themes perfectly align with Shrek’s narrative. Once again, Mike Myers’ delivery works wonders.Īn unbelievably evocative lyric from Star Mouth’s cultural phenomenon, All-Star. This sentiment of this line evolves from ‘fuck off, Donkey’, to ‘I’ve got your best interests in mind’. Kimye… We’ll leave it there, but you know there are hundreds. That is, what’s the most morally myopic thing he could possibly say at this moment? Obviously, they smashed it. This line echoes the way The Simpsons portrayed Mr Burns. “Some of you may die, but its a sacrifice I’m willing to make” – Lord Farquaad Even in a children’s comedy, there’s always a reason to explore the human condition a little. It’s iconic like that.Ī simple simile, but a memorable one. You read this in Eddie Murphy’s Donkey voice, didn’t you? I did too. We’ll stay up late, swapping manly stories, and in the morning… I’m making waffles” – Donkey When shrek and donkey go to lord farquaad’s castle and they pan to show it shrek says “do you think maybe he’s compensating for something?” AND I JUST REALIZED NOW /uXOue9AKSG
I remember being confused by this zinger as a kid. The adult-exclusive joke to end all adult-exclusive jokes. “Do you think he’s maybe compensating for something?” – Shrek
Every time donkey says shrek movie#
To quote Peter Dinklage, that movie is “fucking backwards”. Also, it’s a fair dig at the ridiculousness of the Snow White narrative. “Although she lives with seven other men, she’s not easy” – Magic MirrorĪ very naughty line to sneak into a kid’s movie. When Shrek tells Donkey why he has no friends, does he put his tail between his legs and walk away? Nope.
