Norbit Puns

I’ve just watched Dreamgirls for the first time and thought Eddie Murphy was great in it. I am aware of the reputation that Eddie was going to win the Oscar had Norbit not released and hurt his chances. Is this actually true? Was Eddie really the front runner and was taken out by his own movie or is this a talked up urban legend? Curious to know what the real story was.

For context here’s the list of Best Supporting Actor Nominees in 2006:

• Alan Arkin - Little Miss Sunshine (Winner)
• Mark Wahlberg - The Departed
• Djimon Hounsou - Blood Diamond
• Jackie Earle Haley - Little Children
• Eddie Murphy - Dreamgirls

My homies & I love watching trash comedy movies while smoking pot and we're looking for more :)

Main requirement is high joke/comedic scene density per unit of time.

Bonus if the movie:

• Is not too old (1995 and more recent)
• Has toilet/sexual/edgy humor
• Is easy to follow (the story is not too complicated)
• Humor is the main focus of the movie
• Is disliked by (some) critics for the humor being too dumb

More good examples:

Superbad

The Nutty Professor

Borat

Little Man

Bad Santa

We're the Millers

I live the spoof trailer they made for those cringey comedies from the 2000s, looking for the clip on YouTube to no avail.

I remember it being called, “giant fat black woman whose really a man in a fat suit” or something along those lines

Edit: funker fint nå :)

There I said it y'all can't change my mind.

I’m rewatching and even though it’s still HILARIOUS, I’m wondering if the orphanage character is out of line. Thoughts? I love this movie so much

I was watching norbit last night, hysterical movie. But what made me also laugh was the thought of Brian cracking up watching this movie, probably in his underwear and drinking Dr Pepper . Amazing

Can you please help me understand why we can't place orders on DLR.U.TO to the 3rd decimal while I see lot of transactions take place at these levels?

Eg: I wanted to sell at 10.075, the prevailing market rate, but limit price does not allow for 3rd decimal input on QuestTrade and Market orders never get executed to the 3rd decimal.

##”How you doin’?”

#Rasputia Latimore

Norbit was an ordinary ugly orphan boy with nowhere to belong, until Rasputia came around. Sister of a notorious family that ran the entire town through threats and coercion, she took a liking to him and took him as her boyfriend, until they eventually got married. Unfortunately, over the years Norbit learned Rasputia is not as great as she appeared to be. She’s mean, crass, rude, and she’ll do whatever she wants, including cheating and treating Norbit like a piece of property. He spends the entire movie trying to find ways to avoid her and spend time with a girl who treats him much nicer, without aggravating her rage.

Also, she’s played by Eddie Murphy.

##Fat

• Knocks Norbit off his feet when she uses a swing

• Breaks the bed every time she has sex with Norbit, until they start using cinderblocks as a bed support

• Breaks the railing that controls how far back a car seat can go

• Launches a child from one end of a bouncy castle to the other

• Launches the child out of the bouncy castle completely, which deflates the entire thing

##Strength

• Lifts two bullies by their necks in one hand each, and throws them away

• Knocks out a mailman with a clothesline

• Breaks a lemonade stand by running through it

• Hits Norbit through a window

• Breaks the glass in a storefront with an elbow

• Chops through a wooden pizza peel with a shovel

• Shrugs off a boot to the face, then hits someone hard enough to knock over everyone behind him

• Throws an old woman over a crowd and into a bed of flowers

##Durability

• Goes down a water slide so fast she crashes through a wall and lands in a kiddie pool hard enough to completely drain it of water

• [Gets into a car crash](htt
