My Father, the Comedian

So if you were my father, and wanted to give your darling daughter a gift that really reflected some of her recent domestic experiences, what you would you choose?

 

Do you see what he did there?

Having said that, I must take umbridge with the tagline "The Funniest Movie of the Year!" Mousehunt was released in 1997, and I found this list of box office returns for that year. Mousehunt was quite popular, ranking 27th in popularity, but a glance at the rest of the list surely offers up some more likely contenders - Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery, Men in Black, My Best Friend's Wedding, Beautician and the Beast, Booty Call... well, all right, perhaps not.

  2. This was the film that pushed Troy over the edge and into being a vegetarian.

  3. That's a genuine Dad Joke. A fine example of the breed. Corny, but clean. And with props no less.
