Mr. Floppy: That's what's wrong with this country. Let the weak win. Every nerd makes the team. Every loser gets to play. Gee, maybe we should have let Hitler win. He had a hard childhood, doesn't he deserve to rule the world? Jack, there's a conspiracy going on out there. Evil people are trying to destroy our great country. I'm not mentioning any names, but they're iced mocha cappuccino-drinking, cafe-eating, J. Crew-wearing, Beemer-driving, Friends-watching, sushi-tasting, Sydney temple burning yuppies!
[takes a breath after all that]
Mr. Floppy: And they're starting with our most hallowed institution, the Miss America contest. They wanna make talent more important than the swimsuit competition.
Jack Malloy: That's how we ended up with a fat Miss America who plays the harp.
Mr. Floppy: And when was the last time we won a Miss Universe contest? We can't compete with the Brazils of the world, because they know that good hooters and tight butts are more important than a
[sarcastically now:]
Mr. Floppy: sensitive soul and blubbery thighs. We've lost our killer instinct! We haven't destroyed another country in years!
[softly warning:]
Mr. Floppy: Look, world, don't get too cocky out there. The real Americans are still here. And one day, we're going to wake up from our drunken stupor, and realize we've got a fat, ugly Miss America, and say "What the hell happened here?" And on that day, we'll grab our guns, and swig one more beer, and kill, and kill, and kill
[really into this]
Mr. Floppy: until this is the great country it once was!
[patriotic fervor:]
Mr. Floppy: U.S.A! U.S.A! U.S.A!
Mr. Floppy sure lives up to his own standard. And manages to alienate just about everybody on the planet. If you are a cappuccino-drinking, sushi-tasting, Beemer-driving, FRIENDS- watching dude, you are considered to be part of the downfall of America, whatever the reasoning (of the zany scriptwriters all on a sugar rush) behind it. But you gotta admire the little guy for the spunky performance. He is my favorite male performer OF ALL TIME, ALL FILM, Mr. Floppy for President! Second runner up, Al Bundy, MARRIED WITH CHILDREN, and, third, Notch Johnson, SON OF THE BEACH.
The quote was submitted, and fortunately got accepted and posted here yesterday. It's filled choc-a-bloc with derogatory insults, as is Mr. Floppy's way, so I was quite relieved to see it sailing through. Incidentally, the Miss America thing, I cannot identify the harp-playing, ugly person talked about. Research shows Heather Whitestone as Miss America 1995, nothing about a harp there. This episode was screened around St. Valentine's Day 1996. Up till now (having just done that research) I had assumed they were talking about a real person, and that some toes were harshly tread upon, but now, not so sure.
The general sentiment held by him re beauty competitions, is, of course, true. He is absolutely right, and current trends are absolutely wrong.
Check out the quote and laugh yourself silly. If you are offended, all together now, shame!!
